86	'''Walton Simons:''' Has he been infected?\

98	'''Walton Simons:''' The augmentation project?\
99	'''Bob Page:''' Among other things. But, I must admit, I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the primary unit.\

143	'''Bob Page:''' What's happening? Helios? Icarus? Don't ''leave'' me!\
144	'''JC Denton:''' I... I... ''We''... are one. We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many that live in darkness that must be shown the way. For it is the dawning of a new day.

153	'''Morgan Everett:''' All through the proper intermediaries, of course.\
154	'''JC Denton:''' Intermediaries?\
155	'''Morgan Everett:''' We have a great number of... Agencies, who in turn operate other agencies. Boxes stacked one in another. They'll need to be reactivated, but we never touch anything directly. We only influence. Suggest. Insinuate.\
156	'''JC Denton:''' The world must know by now, Everett. What we've done.\
157	'''Morgan Everett:''' Know what? Only that the long night is over. The crown of government is tarnished - but that will fade in time. The riots, a fever dream; the plague, a horrible nightmare; and like everything else that's happened such things will only be dimly remembered upon waking to their normal lives. In the end, all sins are forgiven. Even yours.\
158	'''JC Denton:''' What about the Constructor... And Helios?\
159	'''Morgan Everett:''' Do you really think they're ready for that? After everything you've seen, everything you've done?\
160	'''JC Denton:''' No. Not yet.\
161	'''Morgan Everett:''' But soon. We have made our own mistakes, became insulated from the world we sought to control. And whatever they may think, the night is far from over. But that will change, and you will help us change even as we teach you. This time -- this time we will do it right.\
162	'''JC Denton:''' And who are we? Who are we really?\
163	'''Morgan Everett:''' We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after. We are forever. And eventually... Eventually we will lead them into the day.

172	'''Bob Page:''' HELIOS! What's happening?\
