REDACTED: Confirmation.
...

Hawkins: In order to gain access to the information they guard, which Harbinger intends to use to wreak havoc on Sirius?
REDACTED: Confirmation.
...
Hawkins: How is Harbinger coercing Abrams?
REDACTED: "The Key is..." The voice trails off. It cricks, as if the pilot's neck has cracked.
REDACTED: "Abrams is insane."
Hawkins: That's it? Insanity?

Subject B: What of the Sentinels though?
Subject A: Don't know.
Subject A: He's [Key is] the only one who can open the-
Subject A: ...Gateway? Anomaly?
Subject B: And did they just figure that one out?
Subject A: Whatever you want to call it.
Subject B: Different circumstances can agitate them.
Subject A: I'm asking, is he the only one who's figured it out?
Subject A: How to open the gateways, reliably.
Subject B: For now.
Subject A: No offense, but isn't that basically what you all have been doing?
Subject A: Poking and opening that anomaly, causing all of this to happen?
Subject B: Well, Vincent did.

Subject B: I'm surprised you haven't heard of him? A big thing in their culture.

Subject B: [Subject D].
Subject A: Audio clipping.
Subject A: Piss. Are you for real?
Subject B: I'm serious.
Subject B: I made a deal with him.
Subject A: You're joking, right?
Subject B: No joke.
Subject A: Are you insane?
Subject B: Possibly. Why?
Subject A: Then at least pick the option that best saves your people.
Subject C: She is.
Subject C:: She decided that long ago.
Subject B: That is why I made the deal with [Subject D].
Subject A: Making deals with [Subject D] is hardly the best course of action.
Subject B: I did it out of interests of preserving our people.
Subject B: So, [Subject D], I spoke with him.
