"The Mancers conducted their most secretive research far east o' the City." -alternative intro for dropping in.
"Only trouble was, somethin' about the place drove the windbags crazy." -Start of the trial
"Whatever gets in her way is in a world o' hurt, but she ain't the fastest thing." -during the trial, on the cannon's (terrible) firing speed
"Best stand well clear of that impact. Hefty thing takes getting used to. Gotta point it in the right direction." -If the Kid gets caught in the blast of a rocket
You must protect Conductors from Windbags at the Observatory.

Weapon Pick Lines[]
If you pick the Calamity Cannon with the following weapon, Rucks will you tell you this line :
- Cael Hammer : The power of the Calamity ain't well understood, but a hammer sure is.
- Fang Repeater : Fill them with needles or blast them to bits? Tough call.
- Breaker's Bow : We've fought with bows for centuries. Calamity Cannons, not so much.
- War Machete : If there's anything a blade can't split open, a cannon ought to do it.
- Scrap Musket : The Kid's loaded down with some of Caelondia's finest firearms.
- Dueling Pistols : Anything that gets past that cannon, those pistols can finish it quick.
- Brusher's Pike : Long reach and plenty of power. A scary combination.
- Army Carbine : Kid makes me nervous sometimes strutting around with all those guns.
- Fire Bellows : No matter what he's gonna face out there... It'll burn.
- Galleon Mortar : OK, now that's just plain overkill. I mean, come on.
