Quotes 

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : This is all so new.

  Jobe Smith : It's not new. I realized that nothing we've been doing is new. We haven't been tapping into new areas of the brain - we've just been awakening the most ancient. This technology is simply a route to powers that conjurers and alchemists used centuries ago. The human race lost that knowledge and now I'm reclaiming it through virtual reality.

  Dr. Lawrence Angelo : You're moving too fast. Even with all these new abilities, there are dangers. Man may be able to evolve a thousand-fold through this technology, but the rush must be tempered with wisdom.

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : All this power isn't meant to be in the hands of one person!

  Jobe Smith : You're wrong! You need to be led, just like everyone else, it's a basic need.

  Dr. Lawrence Angelo : This technology was meant to expand human communication, but you're not even human any more! What you've become terrifies me. You're a freak!

  Jobe Smith : Your naive idiocy makes me VERY ANGRY!

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : ...so I'm taking my work underground. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands again.

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : Jobe, listen to yourself right now. The first sign of psychosis is a Christ complex.

  Jobe Smith : CyberChrist.

• Jobe Smith : This technology has peeled back a layer to reveal another universe. Virtual reality will grow, just as the telegraph grew to the telephone - as the radio to the TV - it will be everywhere.

  Dr. Lawrence Angelo : You're having delusions, Jobe. Struggle for reason!

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : He absorbed Latin yesterday in less than two hours. It took me a year just to learn the Latin alphabet.

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : July. Last journal entry for a while. I won't let Jobe's death be for nothing. What happened to him is my responsibility. For some reason, I've been given a second chance, so I'm taking my work underground. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands again. If we can somehow embrace our wisdom instead of ignorance, this technology will free the mind of man... not enslave it.

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : Well I do have some other games to play job in fact I do have some games that could help make you smarter would you like that?

• Dr. Lawrence Angelo : You know what it did to Roscoe 1138!
