"Before you start thinking I'm an ungrateful bastard... I wanted to say thank you. If even half of what Emilia said was true, you've done more for her and me than most people ever would. You risked your life, your crew, and your ship to pull me out of an icy grave. You did it without lectures, without demands, without expectations. And I won't forget that."
"I would have been happy to support you and yours before. Considering our organizations' goals are so close, and my sister is among you. But now it goes even further, and I owe you a personal debt."
"Let me know if you need anything. This humble fleet captain and mechanic will do what he can."

"Locksmith, it is nice hearing from you."
"Honestly, you being an ungrateful bastard didn't cross my mind. We are all busy people from time to time so do not worry too much about that. Emilia is precious to us and especially to Chevalier. Once we heard that you were in trouble and needed help, there was no thought wasted. We departed right away. Lectures, demands? Those are issued by only the most disgusting people when someone is in dire need of help. Especially when it is someone who is dear to those close to me. Such might be seen as a weakness but I disagree. And please, forget about that personal debt right away, please. There is no need for that. I am happy that you are alive and well, that is what counts. Don't die out there. Good people are rare these days and your loss would not just sadden your dear sister."
"If you wish to help us? We have joined forces with the Militants to liberate Erie. Maybe you can nudge your higher ups to come and assist us. I am sure it might be in their very interest. We need every ship they can spare and I am very sure the Militants would appreciate the assistance. Even if I have to raise an eyebrow about that message from the Xenos. But whatever, I am not one to judge and I don't really care. We are all fighting a war."

"In truth, our command... Is preoccupied with their own tasks, many of which they do not share with me or the rest of the legionnaires. And in those that they do, I often struggle to see the point in. Recovering old, non-functioning relic ships. Or dedicating a significant portion of our forces to rescuing this "inn". While being unable to show any involvement in the liberation of Erie, which has always been our priority since I joined."
"But I can organize the men under my immediate command into a strike force when it matters. Until then, I will be present in Pennsylvania personally on my gunboat."
"As for the words from those hypocritical traitors who are now poisoning Liberty with cardamine... I think you have an understanding of what is happening just from the name of the woman in the logs they provided. I can tell you more when we meet if necessary, but I think we both still have a gaping wound from that person, and we share that understanding. In my case, it just so happened that... Whether intentionally or not, the knife was twisted. But I have only myself to blame for my naivety, and ultimately there is no reason to seek petty vengeance. We need to move on, so I will let go of this. My sister urged me to do just that."
"I'm glad Emilia is there with you. Thank you for keeping her safe."
