SciFighter Win Dialogue
After winning the first SciFighter minigame
|
|
We did it! We destroyed the robots!
|
|
What else can we blow up? Grampa's dentures? Martin's underwear?
|
|
Haw-Haw! I was able to visualize that.
|
|
I'd like to blow up all those things and more. But unfortunately, the PolyVac has a four-hour cooldown time.

|
According to the, uh, laws of science and what have you, most things take four hours.

|
SciFighter Loss Dialogue

|
Crud, the robots defeated us. This could be the end of the human race!
|
|
Haw-Haw!
|
|

|
|
Relax. We'll be fine. The PolyVac should regenerate in four hours.
