Bugs / Unused Fold-M 7 of James Schumacher in dialog files
« on: February 15, 2026, 09:22:45 am »
In "interfacing/xpbl/le_seegerscomputer.txt", there is the contents of James Schumacher's MPC. I don't think this MPC can be found in the game; I couldn't find any mentions of it here on the forum, on the wiki and other resources. Was it accidentally omitted from the game? Judging by the text, the guy should be in the evacuation tunnels under Arch Keep, and indeed, there is a dead security marine there whose inventory is suspiciously empty (on the screenshot).

Personal log - LE 17.10.122
To whomever it may concern. I don't have wife and kids to write to, my parents are dead, the few friends I have - they've got better things to worry about right now. All of my comrades have dedicated their final words to their loved ones. Not me. To their wives and children and friends and pets and Servants. Not me. I never wanted to type this imbecile crap, but there aren't many things a security officer can do while sitting in a dark, damp corner somewhere in an evacuation tunnel while everyone else is busy trying to protect what can no longer be protected. There's always a first time for everything.::<end>

::A few comments on the recent events: Biocorp bested us. True. We had foolishly thought we could stand up to them with our [MISSING] When in fact a single destroyer pretty much trivialized all of those. I know, perhaps I am overstating its influence a bit - it is only one cog in the Biocorp naval machinery - but the essential fact that it EMPd most of our energy barriers and [MISSING] really makes an impression on a man. Yes - obliterated.::<end>
=>q90_original
::[MISSING] have concentrated all our defenses on this tiny island, everything combat-worthy we had, and all of it is now ashes. Ashes. It had always been clear, always, that should Arch Keep fall, [MISSING] open for abuse. Yet I still see officers passing by, hurrying east toward ::[MISSING]:: And they don't even notice me. No. Like drones they are rushing to set up a new line of defense. Fight until the very last moment, until there isn't a man, woman or child left standing.::<end>

::Not me. Not me. I know it is pointless. I did my best and fought hard, I truly did. I survived the onslaught because of it, even though it doesn't mean much anymore. No, wait, it means a lot, actually. I am about to die, so I think I at least deserve some time for myself and my own thoughts before I bite the dust. That's what the rest of my comrades will not get. They are preoccupied with war, and their final moments will be - war. Just that. Mine will be peace. I am in absolute control, because I have a gun and I can choose the moment wherein to pull the trigger.::<end>

::[MISSING] a barricade just in front of the elevator, so the fighting will warn me in time. Yes. How convenient is that? I will get a fair warning that my end is drawing near. Get ready, please! Mr. Schumacher, you have about five minutes to live. [MISSING] fellow comrades do not get that. For them it'll be chaos, gunfire, explosions, lasers, plasma - and then boom: Eternal blackness.::<end>

::Meanwhile, I'll be resting here, knowing that I'm the master of my fate [MISSING] waste my energy and expose myself to more death and suffering? And worst of all, I - me, James - could get wounded instead of outright killed! Say a shell lands and blows my legs off! A bullet shatters my jaw, leaving it hanging on nothing but a few bloody muscle fibers. Laser beam cuts my arm off. Toxic gas suffocates me or melts my skin, or whatever other horror Biocorp might still have in store for us. I don't want to struggle with any of that in my last moments. I want to be as relaxed as I possible can. Dying is stressful as is, after all.::<end>

::And there it is. The shooting. The screams. The moaning. Now it's quiet again. Should I take out a few of them first, then end it? Yeah. I'll do it - I still have a single plasma grenade I could lob around the corner.::<end>
