7->''That the acolyte was already dead hadn't deterred Prakordian - in fact, it made things easier, for a dead man had few defences. Sorcery had forced the lips to open and speak, condemning the tattered lungs to draw breath and the pulped brain to remember. On the stone floor of the temple, the forest of chains sighing above and the torn banners still smouldering, Prakordian had forced out the truth.''

10->''"Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope you get it back, and somewhat of like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me 10 years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I wouldn't have been surprised but come on, you know? The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play, and for better or worse, that's the reality that [[CheerfulChild Morgan]] is gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I thought I'd better record a little greeting, in case of an untimely death, on my heart. Not that death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing we're gonna try to pull off tomorrow, it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of this whole thing. Then again, that's the hero gig, right? Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for, everything is gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to. I love you 3000."''

22->'''''My Sweet Little Chuckie'''\
23Though I must leave you behind me,\
24this poem will tell you where you always can find me.\
25When a gentle wind blows, that's my hand on your face.\
26And when the tree gives you shade, that's my sheltering embrace.\
27When the sun gives you freckles, that's me tickling my boy.\
28When the rain wets your hair, those are my tears of joy.\
29When the long grass enfolds you, that's me holding you tight.\
30When the whippoorwill sings, that's me whispering, "Night night."''

If you can hear this, it means that my greatest hope has been fulfilled: You are alive.[...] Perhaps you have already learned the terrible truth. As I record this, Krypton is mere cycles away from its destruction. There is nothing we can do. I am so sorry."''

39->''"Operator, if you are hearing this, I have failed to revive Cephalon Suda. That self-righteous Simaris was correct. You should probably work with him to isolate Hunhow, that data-murdering Sentient, before he claims more of my kind. I hope you can forgive me, Operator, for leaving you. There were times, like Suda, I wish I could have forgotten you. That grey ache of loneliness. Being without you was the greatest pain I have ever felt. Do you still remember that glorious day when you returned? So selfless and heroic, engaging all of my missing segments like that! I was ashamed of the mess but you didn't care. You made me whole again! Or... or what about that time you returned- '''covered in blood'''- from that awful Grineer ship? I wasn't even mad at the gory mess you left behind. How could I be, when you are so perfect, Operator? You always will be.\
40Goodbye, my friend, my Operator..."''

43->''You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial.\
44Gazing proudly from it's stoic perch above the moor.\
45I lived all my years in that ancient, rumour-shadowed manor.\
46Fattened by decadence and luxury.\
47And yet, I began to tire of conventional extravagance.\
48Singular, unsettling tales suggested the mansion itself was a gateway to some fabulous and unnameable power.\
49With relic and ritual, I bent every effort towards the excavation and recovery of those long-buried secrets,\ exhausting what remained of our family fortune on... swarthy workmen and... sturdy shovels.\
50At last, in the salt-soaked crags beneath the lowest foundations, we unearthed that damnable portal of antediluvian evil.\
51Our every step unsettled the ancient earth, but we were in a realm of death and madness!\
52In the end, I alone fled laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity.\
53Until consciousness failed me.\
54You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial.\
55It is a festering abomination!\
56I beg you, return home, claim your birthright, and deliver our family...\

63->''"Hello, everyone! Technoblade here. If you're watching this, I am dead. So let's sit down, and have one final chat. My real name is Alex. I had one of my siblings call me Dave one time in a deleted video from 2016, and it was one of the most successful pranks we've ever done. Thousands of creepy online dudes trying to get overly personal, going, ''[='Oh, hey, Dave, how's it going?'=]'' Sorry for selling out so much in the past year, but thanks to everyone that bought hoodies, plushies, and channel memberships. My siblings are goin' to college! Well, if they want to. I don't wanna put any dead-brother peer pressure on them. But that's all from me. Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life. I hope you guys enjoyed my content, and that I made some of you laugh. And I hope you all go on to live long, prosperous, and happy lives. Because I love you guys. Technoblade out."''

73->''"Peko\
74I’m sorry for being so stupid. I fucked up real bad. If you are reading this, they found me out and I died during the trial. Funny, this is kinda my preferred outcome. I never wanted to risk your life for me. I know you’ve wanted yourself to protect me, but I didn’t want you to. I wanted you to live. I wanted you to live your life, when I’m gone, and I still do. I want you to move on. Ever since we were kids, I never wanted a sword or a shield, I just needed you. So remember, just live."''

81->''"If you're watching this... ''I'm dead''. This is a Code Black. This message was automatically triggered when I destroyed the cave and everything it contained. I know what's coming won't be easy. But then... Nothing we do is easy. I've prepared for it as best as I can. I know you have too. I'm sorry it's come to this. We both know it won't take long for Gotham's criminals to realize the Batman is gone. And you can't count on the GCPD. Haven't trusted us since Jim died. I'm leaving you the Belfry as a base of operations. Some of the technology is outdated, but it has the gear you need and all of my files. You've always had my back when I needed you. I know you'll keep Gotham safe. Good luck. And goodbye."''
