| [Keyword: Greeting] | |
| DrGruselheim: I can officially capitulate. Take me to your government as an honored prisoner! | |
| [Keyword: Greeting] | |
| DrGruselheim: So, what are you going to do with me? | |
| [Keyword: Who are you?] | |
| DrGruselheim: My name is Dr. Rudolph <em>Gruselheim</em>. I have personally designed this complex, and sadly, I am both its director and, um, prisoner. | |
| [Keyword: What is the role of Siegfried in all this?] | |
| DrGruselheim: Die Gestapo appointed Siegfried as my, hmm, assistant. He was supposed to contribute as administrative director for the completion of <em>Projekt Eisdrache</em>. | |
| [Keyword: Tell us about your research] | |
| DrGruselheim: Ach, natürlich! What are you interested in? | |
| [Keyword: Weapons Lab] | |
| DrGruselheim: Ach, that brings me back... fifteen years. <em>Siegfried</em> devitrified me for the first time with his silly request for making "indestructible armor". | |
| DrGruselheim: Of course, nothing is indestructible, but one must admit that <em>Kompositum 58</em> comes very close when applied to various polymers. | |
| [Keyword: Bio Lab] | |
| DrGruselheim: Seven years ago, Siegfried ordered me to create "the perfect virus" that could be delivered behind enemy lines and cause chaos and mayhem. | |
| DrGruselheim: I started with the common Rabies genome and developed its much more aggressive <em>Red Rabies</em> variant... And I only agreed because he promised he won't use the virus unless the very existence of my fatherland was threatened. | |
| DrGruselheim: You can imagine my annoyance when I learned <em>Siegfried</em> tried to sell it to North Korea! For better or worse, the plane crashed in the jungle above us. | |
| [Keyword: Cryo Lab] | |
| DrGruselheim: It was before the war when I discovered the <em>Wunderfrostschutzmittel</em>, as I call it, in the Drachenberg mountains north from here. | |
| DrGruselheim: The <em>WFSM</em> is a wonderful cryo-protective regenerative agent. It makes the <em>vitrification</em> procedure possible with negligible intra-cell ice formation. | |
| DrGruselheim: Die Wehrmacht was very interested in the possibilities that they built the whole U-Bahn from the coast to the mountains. And <em>Projekt Eisdrache</em> was born. | |
| [Keyword: Diesel Clinic] | |
| DrGruselheim: Hmm, Diesel. Some ten or twelve years ago, the original troops who guarded us were starting to get old, and Siegfried himself wasn't the boy I remembered anymore. | |
| DrGruselheim: So, he devitrified me and asked me to create a "serum" that can make the old young again. Ha! That is not possible! Not within the time frame we had! | |
| DrGruselheim: I developed the <em>Super Soldat</em> program instead. <em>Siegfried</em> was happy with it and ever since has been using it to turning local boys into relentless war machines. | |
| [Keyword: What happened at the Drop?] | |
| DrGruselheim: The last time he put me out of the glass, Siegfried ordered me to enhance the Diesel formula. | |
| DrGruselheim: When the Legion appeared they attacked <em>The Drop</em>. Gott bless their savage little minds! They used explosives so extensively they severed the railway to <em>Landsbach</em>. | |
| DrGruselheim: I had a good laugh when I heard <em>Siegfried</em> lost a whole shipment of <em>Altered Diesel</em> while trying to send it by truck to his troops here. | |
| [Keyword: Who are these people in the cryo chambers?] | |
| DrGruselheim: These are the people <em>vitrified</em> as part of <em>Projekt Eisdrache</em>. | |
| [Keyword: Who are these people in the cryo chambers?] | |
| DrGruselheim: When they realized they were losing the war, some of the top <em>Wehrmacht</em> und <em>Gestapo officers</em> were vitrified here, biding their time until Siegfried prepares their "grand return". | |
| DrGruselheim: What do you want me do with them? | |
| [Keyword: Seal them here forever] | |
| DrGruselheim: "Forever" is such a demanding word, but this complex was built to last. So, I will let them sleep until the temperature control fails or water finally makes its way into the bunker. | |
| DrGruselheim: It won't be a great loss to humanity either way. | |
| [Keyword: Cut their bio support] | |
| DrGruselheim: Technically, the is no bio support - only temperature control. You see, they are effectively turned to glass. But if I take this hammer here... | |
| [Keyword: Send them to court] | |
| DrGruselheim: Devitrification is not a simple process. It will take time, but once it is done, I will be happy if they face justice for their crimes. | |
| [Keyword: Time to decide what to do with you] | |
| DrGruselheim: I am looking forward to it! | |
| [Keyword: You are free to leave] | |
| DrGruselheim: Really? Danke! I hope I will be able to fit in this world of the seventies. Or was it the eighties? | |
| Never mind! I am ready! | |
| [Keyword: You will go to jail as Nazi collaborator] | |
| DrGruselheim: Yes, that was what I have been asking for... Wait, you mean actual prison?... | |
| DrGruselheim: Well, it is what it is. It can't be worse than spending my life underground and being frozen to glass every ten years. | |
| [Keyword: You will work for us in the Weapons Lab] | |
| DrGruselheim: Ach. Schade. I was hoping I will see the sun once again. | |
| Well, at least I'm not working for the Nazi anymore, right? Right?... | |
| [Keyword: You will run the Sanatorium and find a cure for Red Rabies] | |
| DrGruselheim: Ach, natürlich. It's hard to contain a bio weapon once it has been released, but I guess I am the most qualified person for this task. | |
| DrGruselheim: Don't you want me to improve the formula instead? Nein? Never mind, I'll create a robust inoculation agent for you. | |
| [Keyword: You will run the Diesel Clinic and help people] | |
| DrGruselheim: That sounds interesting! I have some new ideas how to improve the Super Soldat formula by introducing females to the program. | |
| DrGruselheim: No? Fine, fine... I will concentrate on fixing young Siegfried's mistakes. | |
| [Keyword: Goodbye] | |
| DrGruselheim: I will remain right here. | |
| [Keyword: Goodbye] | |
| DrGruselheim: Take your time. |
