| 44 | Player Default: I'm at your disposal. | {Happy} Ha! Yes! Thank you. Xie xie my friend. | | A1a |
| 45 | | {a bit sad / Irritated} But, first problem. Yangtze has no power. | Captain: If we get reactor working? Probably enough. | A1b |
| 46 | Player Default: You can go to Hell. You're part of the enemy that destroyed my country. | {Tired} That is... sad. Um... unfortunate. Bu xing. I hoped that after 200 years, we could forget past hatred. | | B1a |

| 48 | Player Default: Let me think about it. | {Pleading} Yes. Of course. I wish only to help my beautiful qian ting. Make my Yangtze ready for the sea. | Captain: If we get reactor working? Probably enough. | X1a |
| 49 | Player Default: Why would you trust me, a stranger? | {second part is a Chinese proverb / Apologetic} Trust is risk. But a man must plow with oxen he has. | | Y1a |

| 53 | | {resigned / Worried} And if no houses can be built, I will die. My jia. At peace. | Player Default: I'm at your disposal. | Y3b |
| 54 | Player Default: But, first problem. Yangtze has no power. | {hopeful / Amused} If we get reactor working? Probably enough. | | A1a |
| 55 | | {annoyed / Irritated} There is damage to a, um... dampening coil. Bad damage. Need new coil. | | A1b |
| 56 | | {business like / Neutral} I have information. Intelligence, from war time. Dampening coils are at facility called... Saugus Ironworks. | Player Default: I already have the dampening coil from Saugus. | A1c |
| 57 | MS02CaptainPChasRods | | {Question is mostly rhetorical. / Relieved} You have dampening coil? Ha! Youxiu. Youxiu. Now to get... nuclear fuel. | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | A |
| 58 | | {Relieved} You have returned! I was not sure you would. | | A |

| 62 | | Not okay like their captain. Worse. They do not harm me. But they will kill you! | | A1b |
| 63 | | I... I cannot kill them. Still, they are my crew. My family. Jia ren, all of us. But you must do what you must do. | | A1c |
| 64 | Player Default: The next step seems simple. But do not be deceived. | {Sad} 200 years ago, I launched all of Yangtze's high-yield nuclear missiles. As ordered. | | A1a |
| 65 | | {Sad} For 200 years, I have lived with that guilt. That shame. So much fire Such bei. | | A1b |
| 66 | | {Somber} But one missile failed to launch. You must go down. Remove the warhead. Then bring it to me. | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | A1c |
| 67 | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | So. You have met my crew, then. Or... what is left of them. | Player Default: I'm alive, aren't I? | A1a |
| 68 | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | I admire your spirit. | Captain: While you are getting warhead? I will prepare the reactor. | A2a |
| 69 | Player Default: The warhead might detonate. We'd both be killed. | No, no. It will not detonate. Not if you are careful. Treat it as ji dan. A chicken egg. | | B1a |
| 70 | | But... you will be exposed to radiation. So long as you carry it. | Captain: While you are getting warhead? I will prepare the reactor. | B1b |
| 71 | Player Default: You've got to be kidding. | No. No jokes. Just jue wang. Desperation. Only thing left to try. Plutonium in warhead will serve as fuel. | Captain: While you are getting warhead? I will prepare the reactor. | X1a |
| 72 | Player Default: Why don't you get it? | Ah... Because I have different task. | Captain: While you are getting warhead? I will prepare the reactor. | Y1a |
| 73 | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | {Surprised} You have been busy. | | A1a |
| 74 | | {Apologetic} I hope you showed my crew... mercy. They have not been themselves lately. | Player Default: I'm alive, aren't I? | A1b |
| 75 | Player Default: I already have the warhead. | {Conspiratorial} The next step seems simple. But do not be deceived. | Captain: 200 years ago, I launched all of Yangtze's high-yield nuclear missiles. As ordered. | A2a |
| 76 | Player Default: I have a few things to do first. | {Irritated} Hmph. Good crew says "us first," not "me first." | | B1a |
| 77 | | {Stern} I need that dampening coil. | Captain: 200 years ago, I launched all of Yangtze's high-yield nuclear missiles. As ordered. | B1b |
| 78 | Player Default: Let's get on with it. | {Confident} You are impatient. Good. Then you are focused on our task. | Captain: 200 years ago, I launched all of Yangtze's high-yield nuclear missiles. As ordered. | X1a |
| 79 | Player Default: Where are you going to get that? | {Emphasize "that" / Amused} Ah... Now that is the right question to ask. | Captain: 200 years ago, I launched all of Yangtze's high-yield nuclear missiles. As ordered. | Y1a |
| 80 | MS02CaptainPChasWarhead | | {knows the player probably didn't have any difficulties. / Question} No difficulty with the warhead, I trust? | Player Default: I'm alive, aren't I? | A |
| 81 | Player Default: I'm alive, aren't I? | {Amused} Be resolved and the thing is done. | Captain: Now. Here is what you must do. Head down to the reactor. Take dampening coil and warhead with you. | A1a |
| 82 | Player Default: Not yet. | {Stern} Well? Go. Go! | Captain: Now. Here is what you must do. Head down to the reactor. Take dampening coil and warhead with you. | B1a |
| 83 | Player Default: Nah. No sweat. The radiation did give me super powers, though. X-Ray vision. Love the leopard g-string. | {Irritated} 200 years, and your humor is still bad. America liberating Anchorage? Now that was a good joke. | Captain: Now. Here is what you must do. Head down to the reactor. Take dampening coil and warhead with you. | X1a |
| 84 | Player Default: What are you going to do with the other missiles? | {Apologetic} Nothing. That is what. No plans. | | Y1a |
| 85 | | {Apologetic} They are small. Tactical. Of no real use to me. | Captain: Now. Here is what you must do. Head down to the reactor. Take dampening coil and warhead with you. | Y1b |
| 86 | Player Default: Be resolved and the thing is done. | {Stern} Now. Here is what you must do. Head down to the reactor. Take dampening coil and warhead with you. | | A1a |
| 87 | | {Slight emphasis on "carefully." / Nervous} First, insert the dampening coil. Carefully. Xiao xin. | | A1b |
| 88 | | {Stern} Then, put warhead into the reactor. As you do that, I monitor power levels from the control room. | | A1c |
| 89 | | {Nervous} Do not put in warhead first! Do that? Si wang. Death, for you and me both. | | A1d |
| 90 | MS02CaptainRefused | | {surprised / Surprised} You again? Thought you had no interest in helping old sailor. | Player Default: Yes, I'm willing to help you. | A |
| 91 | | {hopeful, not pleading. He's the kind of guy that would never beg. / Pleading} Still here... Change of heart, perhaps? You have decided to help me after all? | Player Default: Yes, I'm willing to help you. | A |
| 92 | Player Default: Fortune smiles. Let us work together. Yi qi lai. | {Neutral} First thing we need - a new dampening coil. To stabilize Yangtze's reactor. | | A1a |

| 94 | Player Default: Yes, I'm willing to help you. | {Happy} Fortune smiles. Let us work together. Yi qi lai. | Captain: First thing we need - a new dampening coil. To stabilize Yangtze's reactor. | A1a |

| 100 | | {struggles a bit recalling the English word / Nervous} Plus, to show my thanks. I give you these, ah... Transponders. | Captain: Each one acts as a homing signal for missile I can fire from my Yangtze. | A1b |
| 101 | NPCMCaptainZao: Was not sure my beautiful Yangtze would hold together. But we did it! | {Amused} You are a capitalist. I know you expect payment for services. | | A2a |

| 105 | Player Default: I hope this tub sinks with you in it. | {Amused} The journey is long. Sadly, that is possible. | | B1a |
| 106 | | {Angry} It is fortunate Zao is man of honor. A lesser man insulted would not keep his promise. | Captain: Soon, I will set sail. You should get ashore. Farewell, American. I must admit. I have met... worse capitalists. | B1b |
| 107 | Player Default: You should just leave now. | {Apologetic} I understand. There is no love for Zao. Or Zhongguo. | Captain: Soon, I will set sail. You should get ashore. Farewell, American. I must admit. I have met... worse capitalists. | X1a |
| 108 | Player Default: Why would you let me use up your missiles? | {Worried} I have no wish to bring weapons back home. I leave the fire here. | | Y1a |
| 109 | | {coming up with a good English phase you remember at the end / Amused} And... I owe you. Zao pays his debts. Besides, my missiles just might... *chuckle* "Save your bacon." | Captain: Soon, I will set sail. You should get ashore. Farewell, American. I must admit. I have met... worse capitalists. | Y1b |
