- '<name>... is that you? I did not... expect to see you so... so soon. But where am I? How did I come to be here? I must have been dreaming, but I did not sleep! I remember seeing lights in the darkness, beckoning...
- 'This place is dangerous, <name>! We should get out of here, and at once! I am fortunate you found me!'
- Artamir says, "It seemed... it seemed so near..."
- Artamir says, "I am quite all right now, <name>."
