Dialogue[edit]
- During the whole chain, Gorrik will often use his communicator to offer advice
- Repairing defenses
- Gorrik: Whatever you're going to do, do it quickly! We've got rifts! Brandstorms! All manner of inconvenience!

- Riftstalkers appear
- Gorrik: Riftstalkers! Somebody get out there and kill them—we need those breaches sealed!
- Gorrik: I'll send in the skritt cavalry. The Brandstorm's coming in fast!
- After closing both rifts

- Gorrik: In point of fact, no, that is not all they've got. Flee for your lives before the Brandstorm takes you!
