Samuel Hayden

"You've won - it's over. You stopped the invasion and closed the portal. But it's come at a price - Argent, VEGA . This entire operation. You see, I've watched you work; come to understand your motivation. You think the only way is to kill them all - leave nothing behind - and you may be right ; but we can't just shut it all down. Without Argent Energy it will be worse. I don't expect you to agree. (takes the Crucible) But with this we can continue our work. I am not the villain in this story. I do what I do because there is no choice. Our time is up. I can't kill you but I won't have you standing in our way . Until we see each other again."

"I feel I should apologize for what's happened here... some of my employees took things too far. Olivia was the cause of all of this and I believe...... will have to deal with her in time . You may not agree with our research but know this: we exploited Hell and its resources because it was in mankind'sto do so. What you see now in this facility is theHmph. But none of that matters now."

Olivia Pierce

"Fellow disciple, this message has been sent to you in recognition of your service to the Lazarus Project. I am Olivia Pierce. You have been granted the highest level of clearance we allow at the Lazarus Project, and as such you are expected to partake in all rituals, sacrifices and vivisection programs (both demon and human) as requested - whether as a practitioner of the dark arts or as a patient of a cleansing. As we work tirelessly to open the gates to Hell, remember our mantra: 'The science will cleanse us.'"Our recent expedition to the Great Steppe resulted in the retrieval of new tablets which will help us further decode the Helix Stone. I must reiterate again the importance of fully decoding this stone. The scriptures tell us that it holds the key to both realizing our future and destroying us - so we must know it before the enemy. The enemy will come and we must be ready. While we are decoding the latest artifacts and relics, there will be no rest, no leave and no sleep. We must succeed. Our lives mean nothing. Opening the gate is everything."

"I believe in honesty... especially now, in what will be your final moments in this world. All the rumors... the human sacrifices... the Hell portal ... the demons... it's all true. My sisters and brothers, be thankful. You will be the first. You will have a seat alongside them as I will in what will become the new world they create for us. Starting now."

Slayer's Testament

"And in his terrible rancor between worlds and through time, the Hell Walker found the wretch who shall not be named, but in his heresy was loyal to his evil cause . The wretch adorned the Doom Slayer in a mighty armor , wrought in the forges of Hell, impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void."

"The age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons . They knew he would come, as he always had, as he always will, to feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes , and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting."

"And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed , and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm."

UAC

"Rest is important if you are to be a productive advocate. However, down time does not need to be wasted time. When not working on the Lazarus Project, take some time to think about what comes after we open the gates. Where does this devotion and hard work lead? Why are we doing this?""To answer that, you must picture yourself transported to the wide open Umbral Plains, or the steps of the great cathedrals of Argent D'Nur, or the glassy shores of the Lake of Fire. Imagine yourself worshipping before the Icon of Sin , in awe of its splendor even as it sleeps till the Call of Ages comes. Envision chanting the names of dark lords in the correct order, empowering them with your rote learning. Fantasize about how it will feel to sense the caress of the Bukavac as it rises from the blood pools of Angrax and strangles the life out of you.""Now you can return to work advocate, for now you know why we do this.

"Welcome, Tier 3 advocates . You have elevated yourself to the next level of thinking. Your previous notions have been cleansed by science, and you see things now as they truly are. The true power of Argent Energy, under the stewardship of the UAC, will drive us into the next age of mankind. No more secrets, no more hiding. Your journey towards the final Tier begins now."Our understanding of pandimensional existence grows each day. As we begin to realize the true power that flows from Hell, we are changed into something much greater than we ever though possible. Your life as a Tier 3 advocate is more than just the work you perform. Spiritual understanding of who we are and what we are meant to become grows with each artifact you catalogue, each weapon you prototype, and each heretic you convert. The FEAR of Hell is seen for what it really is: False Emotions Appearing Real "You have opened your mind."

Dr. Elena Richardson

"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 002 - subject analysis of Doom Slayer. January 24th, 2163. There is no chance that the subject is a demon. We have blood samples pulled from the Mars event that show his blood type is AB positive. He is male with a genome that makes him very much a member of the human race. But the enhanced speed, strength and athleticism would indicate otherwise. But we can see from the blood samples that there are foreign bodies present of unknown origin. I cannot as a contributing member of the scientific community agree with the assumption by some of my colleagues that he is, for lack of a better word, a God. An avenging angel, the right hand of Doom here to save humanity from its sins. But I cannot ignore that the timing of his arrival  the identity of his enemies  the fire and brimstone element to this catastrophe we currently find ourselves in has... it has definitely shaken my scientific resolve."

"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 005 - subject analysis of Doom Slayer. February 2nd, 2163. Maybe he is a God. Maybe he represents humankind's rage  their will to persevere, to overcome that which would threaten our survival. He is uncompromising, a relentless being of violence , that knows no mention of the hesitation shown by our many leaders and politicians during our time of judgment. Can he overcome them? Alone? If he can't, we, as a species, ALL species, will not survive."

"Elena Richardson, log entry 006. February 9th, 2163. The only thing they fear  is him. We watched as the horde overwhelmed the very best and most advanced machinery and weapons technology that we could muster against the opposition. It was useless, they moved too quickly, they cared not for themselves, only sought out the blood of humanity. They were willing to sacrifice their own to get to the heart of our world. We slaughtered thousands and millions more followed. But then he came  he cut through them like a sickle through a field  his fury surpassing their own. He is faster  more relentless. I believe him now to be more than just a man  he is... DOOM.
