Opening Speech
"He knew.

The black-eyed bastard knew that when my blade stilled the Empress's heart and delivered her daughter to the Lord Regent's men, everything would fall to pieces.

He watched me do it anyway, and now the world's gone mad.

Plague grinds the city down.

Corruption rots.

A mad killer roams the streets by night, seeking revenge.

The Overseers have stormed my hideout in the flooded district.

And I'm in a strange duel with a mad witch named Delilah for the fate of the Empire.

I'd say I was being punished, but I know the world doesn't punish wicked people.

We make our choices and takes what comes, and the rest is void.

I can't say I wasn't warned."

Thomas's Report
A Whaler named Thomas gives Daud the requested information on Lizzy Stride.

[Activated] Novice: "Thomas finished his scouting run. When you've talked to him, I'll give you the latest word from inside the prison."

If you have not yet picked up your gear.

[Activated] Thomas: "I found Lizzy Stride. Getting her to lend us her boat will be a bit complicated, however. She's in Coldridge. From what I hear they've got enough on her to hold her for about a thousand years."

Daud: "Excellent. Lizzy has enemies inside Coldridge. If we play this right, she'll be begging to do business with us."

Thomas: "Yes sir. Your tools have been cleaned and placed in the chest over there. I'll wait here until you're ready to leave."

If you have already picked up your gear.

[Activated] Thomas: "I found Lizzy Stride. Getting her to lend us her boat will be a bit complicated, however. She's in Coldridge. From what I hear they've got enough on her to hold her for about a thousand years."

Daud: "Coldridge... We can use this. We'll get her out, and Stride will have to pay back the favor. We'll have our transport."

Thomas: "Ready to leave sir? Or should I wait?"

[Activated. If you pick the option "Stay at Daud's Base"]

Thomas: "I'll be here when you're ready." or "At your pleasure."

[Activated] Thomas: "Is it time to go, sir?"

[Activated] Novice: "After Corvo's escape it's going to be more difficult to break into Coldridge. They've installed arc pylons, and they're blaring Overseer music over the loudspeakers. Our talents will be suppressed until we get inside."

Daud: "I have other talents."

[Activated] Novice: "Corvo set off an explosion on his way out, blew out the main gate. They're still rebuilding."

[Activated] Novice: "Last thing. There's an execution planned in the courtyard. Should draw a lot of eyes away from you."

Daud: "I could use a laugh."

If you have not yet picked up your gear.

[Activated] Thomas: "Ready to go, soon as you've got your gear.

After picking up your gear.

[Activated] Thomas: "Is it time to go, sir?"

If you pick the option "Stay at Daud's Base"

Thomas: "I'll be here when you're ready." or "At your pleasure."
