Ground Control

  • From Ground Control 1, towards the end of the Order campaign:
    Jared Stone: "If Hayes and Aegiri succeed in activating the polar Xenofacts, they will unleash a plague of death and fire across this entire section of the galaxy!"
    Sarah Parker: *wolf whistles* "You sure are a charmer. A simple 'we'll be screwed' would have done it."
    • In General, Parker shows herself to be a master of snark.

Ground Control 2

  • The very first cinematic in campaign mode sees an NSA soldier caught admiring a woman lingerie shop when CSS Astrid's beacon landed on him.
  • In Viron campaign of Ground Control 2, Angelus spends time commanding Virons. Then Drahk'Mar jokes that he might have the honor of commanding human troops in the future.
    • It's even funnier considering that in the NSA mission "Push", you can actually give him your units to command.
  • The NSA dropship in Ground Control II, statistically one of the more stronger unit in the game when fully upgraded, boast some funny lines.
    NSA Dropship: (Returning to base) "Copy that. Later losers."
  • From the 11th mission where you need to rescue Dr. Alice McNeal from the Terran captivity, General Warhurst's rant when he busts Angelus is priceless.
    Warhurst: "CAPTAIN!! What the HELL do you think you are doing?!"
    Warhurst: "Dammit, Angelus! You better survive this, as I will personally break one bone in your body for every piece of NSA equipment you lose out there! Warhurst! Out!!"
    Alice: (After Warhurst finishes his rant) "In a bit of a snit, wasn't he?"
