At the Irondock Shipyard
Dremelclaw Burnsure: Tab A fits into slot B? Who wrote these instructions?
Dremelclaw Burnsure: Fire up your torch, Rivetclaw. This ship is ready to sail.
Dremelclaw Burnsure: (sigh) This project will never get off the ground, so to speak.
Dremelclaw Burnsure: I've worked on plenty of boilers. Not underwater, but the principles are the same.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): You're just plain wrong. This will change the way wars are fought.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): We didn't have metal boats when we took Ascalon, or when we overthrew the Flame Legion.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): Innovation is the key to lasting victory. You'll see.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): You'd think turtles would sink, but they float. Something to do with air pockets and forward momentum.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): They're using air bladders on the next prototype. I'm skeptical.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): You hear about the Black Citadel sending a bunch of inspectors out here?
Iron Legion Soldier (2): They're anxious for the project to succeed. Imagine what we could do if we conquered the seas?
Iron Legion Soldier (1): A submarine would give us the firepower to conquer quaggans.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): Now we can explore, attack, and defend in ways we never could before.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): That's only if your precious machine floats back to the surface when you tell it to.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): I better get promoted to crew chief soon. I'm too smart to be shoveling coal.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): We're all cogs in the machine. Some of us are just smaller and greasier than others.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): This is how we do it. Iron Legion sees a problem, builds a solution.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): I still won't get inside that thing without a direct order.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): Because?
Iron Legion Soldier (2): Because it's designed to sink on purpose.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): Keep alert for more saboteurs.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): I'd like to know how they found this facility to begin with.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): Fat floats. They should just insulate the shell with pig fat.
Iron Legion Soldier (2): Have you ever smelled rotting pig fat? You'd have a working submarine, but your crew would be vomiting the whole time.
Iron Legion Soldier (1): We're going drake hunting tomorrow. Want to come?
Iron Legion Soldier (2): Can't. Nobody else knows how to make rivets, so I'm stuck on a double shift.
Ash Legion Scout: Sir, another Separatist attack is imminent.
Iron Legion Captain: How reliable is your intel?
Ash Legion Scout: We found ways to loosen our captive's tongue.
Iron Legion Captain: Well done, soldier.
Nardo Burncore: We gotta watch those Separatists every second, or they'll ettin up our plans.
Nardo Burncore: We're on the verge of a break through with the Iron Barracuda. On the verge!
