The holotape player made a grind noise as the tape was slow wound, and then began to play.

"Nǐ míngbái ma, Wēilián? Wǒ de péngyǒu gàosù wǒ nǐ zuò de bǐ wǒmen gèng yōuyǎ de yǔyán, bùshì ma? Nǐ xiànzài zhīdào, yányǔ yǒu lìliàng, yányǔ rúcǐ mírén, jīhū shì diānfù xìng de.

William understood it as so:

''Do you understand this, William? My friend tells me you do. A more elegant language than ours, isn't it? As you well know by now, words hold great power, and a speech as enthralling as this one is almost subversive. You once served a cause much greater than yourself, on the basis of this great tongue, just I do now. A cause with goals very similar to my current one, although on a smaller scale. Do you see any of yourself in me, William? I don't believe we are so different, in our heart of hearts. Thus it is disappointing you would never accept my vision willingly, just as you never accepted their's. ''

''I spoke too soon, in the Undercity. The game is not quite ended yet. Come to where this all started between us. Where my chapter comes to a close and your's had only just begun. Where is the bomb, you ask? Where else would I free a being who lives below our feet? But don't return there. Hood is where I am. Tell your allies I am elsewhere, or urge them to go after the bomb. Lie. I don't care. But come to Mount Hood. We have unfinished business, you and I.''

The player clicked, as the message came to a close.
