We've been over this. I LOVE the Seven. Remember, the helmet?
Chapter 3: Season 3
Who, me? I LOVE the Seven. Look at my helmet!
I haven't had the time to read your latest study.
If you're saying something's up, I believe you.
You were right about her. I'm sorry.
Did the Origin apologize?
Maybe we should team up more often.
Hey... Sorry for calling you an insubordinate fool earlier.
Whatever experiments you're doing, run them faster. We're in trouble.
I have something you waaant...
We both want justice. I just get it a little differently.
Chapter 3: Season 2
I know you believe in the Paradigm. Others... Disagree.
I told you. You're not getting the device back.
I'm staying out of your fight with the Origin.
I'm going to help you bring her home.
