A Part For The Whole.
To just what degree the students who gave a "locomotive" at the conclusion of the address of a certain evangelist the other night in Trenton thought they were representing Princeton is, and no doubt will remain, a mystery. The newspapers were delighted at the exhibition of "college enthusiasm", and saw in it apparently, an indication that the gymnastic evangelist in question had been refused a university building wherein to hold-forth, entirely against the wishes of the undergraduate body. This is an example of the unfairness which lies in any small group of undergraduates assuming to represent Princeton as a whole by some such method as giving the Princeton cheer. And all this quite aside from consideration as to whether a religious meeting in Trenton is the place for college cheers.

(opening scene)
60 minutes is all it took for the Ancients to bring humanity to the brink of extinction. Those who survived mobilized their settlements to begin life anew upon a poisoned Earth. In the hunt for food and fuel, the weak perished, and the strong grew ever more powerful. Until a new age arose, the Age of the Great Predator Cities of the West.

Vestin Al-Ga Gustanee. Osh alga. Aye. Osh alga. Osh alga kasht du mara Khazak.
Predator! Predator city!
Six miles and closing!
Leave it behind! Let's go!
Leaving!
Hurry! Fire up the engines!
Move it, Dietrich!
Fire them up!
Crank all engines.
Come on! Come on!
Engine one is down!
Switch to auxiliaries.
Hurry! Hurry!
Start them up!
Full throttle!
Yew sahk!
Full power.

Lord Mayor.
Mr. Valentine. What have we got?
Small Bavarian mining town, powered by C-20 land engines. Usual store of brick, coal and iron. And 75 tons of salt.
Barely enough fuel to last us a week. We've left the safety of Britain, we've crossed the land bridge, for what? To feed upon the scraps of Europe. Run it down.
Aye, aye, sir.
They're gaining on us.
Empty the silos.
All of them.
Do it!
Get down there!
It's madness out there. You'd think they've never seen a chase before.
Well, it has been a while, sir.

Tom Natsworthy: You were raised by that corpse.
Hester Shaw: You don't know what you're talking about.
Tom Natsworthy: Actually, I do.
Hester Shaw: No, you don't.
Tom Natsworthy: I've studied them.
Hester Shaw: You've studied them?
Tom Natsworthy: I know a lot about the Resurrected.
Hester Shaw: You don't know anything about him.
Tom Natsworthy: The people who created them were insane. Off-the-charts crazy. They took all the worst parts of themselves...all the savagery and cruelty and hatred, and poured it into these machines, these monsters.
Hester Shaw: Shut up!

Herbert Melliphant: Mr. Valentine.
Thaddeus Valentine: Not now.
Herbert Melliphant: I'm sure you know who I am.
Thaddeus Valentine: No, I don't.
Herbert Melliphant: Herbert Melliphant. Your daughter's a very good friend of mine.
Thaddeus Valentine: No, she's not.
Herbert Melliphant: Sir, I have something that may be of interest to you. A cache of old tech. High-quality, military-grade. I'm overdue a promotion myself. I'm thinking a university post or an honorary degree? A position with a title.
Thaddeus Valentine: You have a supply of old tech? Where is it?

Hester Shaw: (narrating flashback-memory) I think he saw in those strange machines a reflection of himself.
Young Hester Shaw: Where is his heart?
Shrike: It has no heart. Like me.
Hester Shaw: I think, somewhere deep inside, a memory remained. A memory from another life. I think he had a family once.
