Scanning

Kathy's reaction lines when scanning an object of interest. Written to cover a wide spread of tone — curious, clinical, delighted — without ever repeating the same beat twice.

Trigger	Line
Scan	What's this?
Scan	Interesting.
Scan	Should jot that down.
Scan	Noted.
Scan	Fascinating...
Scan	Strange.
Scan	Curious.
Scan	You're going in my journal.

Puzzle Guidance

Lines that nudge the player through an environmental puzzle without breaking immersion by sounding like a tutorial. These need to read as Kathy thinking out loud, not the game explaining itself.

Trigger	Line
Guidance	Maybe AYLA can reach that.
Guidance	That won't work. I need to try something else.
Guidance	AYLA, can you get that?
Guidance	I need a splitter.
Guidance	One down, one to go.
Guidance	I'm missing something, aren't I?

Locate / Rally

The same functional need — calling out to find the player — written across two different characters. Same job, same structure, but each voice lands differently: Sarah reads warmer and more direct, Isaac's use of Kathy's nickname gives his version more personality.

Sarah

Negative	Come on.

Isaac
