- "Colonel Tolman, I apologize for the protocol breach of writing you directly, but I am praying that as a family friend, you can help me with a desperate situation. When Command offered me a guard position at the New Hope Research Facility, they called it a career-making opportunity: A chance to support the research that would cure Rustlung forever. But, that's not what's happening here. I was ordered to chain the ill to the bed frames like prisoners, not patients. I had to pin the screaming children down while the lab-coated men with needles tapped their blood and left them to shiver on the floor. Niles Samson isn't making a cure. He's making things. I can't say what they are. No one can. But, no good can come of it, I promise you. I beg you, Colonel: Talk to Chairman Monroe. Tell him that the people are suffering here. Tell him that Dr. Samson went mad. I can't stand by and watch this any longer."
- —Pvt. Sid Reburn to Colonel Tolman.
