Hedgeworth: I believe I may be able to access the machines here… Perhaps even wake him up.

Ikal: Now, hold up! If this is some ancient, violent race what destroyed itself, why’d you wanna go an’ wake one back up? Keep the all-fired things sleeping, I reckon.

2: Hedgeworth is turned to face him. He’s pulled a small metal object out of his pocket.

Hedgeworth: They were not savages, Mr. Tinalto. If this creature was chosen to be preserved, then they were a being of importance and intelligence. They may know how to lead us to what we need.

Ikal: Alright. But I’ll be on my taps in the case y’all are wrong.
