Ending speeches



The ending speeches are heard by the player at the top of the Tower immediately after the Bleeder is destroyed. C.W. delivers his initial lines while riding from his vault to the Tree. He speaks his lines for the ending speeches from atop the wall surrounding the Tree, while Farley says them from inside the community center, having just swapped back from Maray after leaving her pod. If the battery has been disconnected, the good ending speech is given; otherwise, the bad ending speech is given.
