Condiviso con te
- [first lines]
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: I have spent my life searching for the answers that my father and my father's fathers failed to find. Who were the Precursors? Why did they create the vast monoliths that liter our planet? How did they harness Eco, the life energy of the world? What was their purpose? And why did they vanish? I have asked the plants, but they do not remember. The plants have asked the rocks, but the rocks do not recall. Even the rocks do not recall. Every bone in my body tells me that the answers rest on the shoulders... of a young boy... oblivious to his destiny, uninterested in the search for truth, and rejecting of my guidance! And why would he want to listen to old Samos the sage, anyway? I'm only the master of Green Eco, one of the wisest men on the planet! So it seems the answers begin not with careful research or sensible thinking. Nay! As with many of fate's mysteries, it begins with but a small act... of disobedience.
- Daxter: [concerned] Hey! Uh, Jak? Old green stuff told us not to come here.

- Daxter: Wooooow! What IS it?
- Keira: It's beautiful...!
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: By the Precursors...!
- Warrior: Oh, my aching head.
- Daxter: I doubt that's one of your vital organs! Walk it off, Tough Guy!
- Warrior: Oh, sure, I was tough once. Maybe even the toughest of them all! I single-handedly defended this village against those horrid creatures for almost a year. Then that horrible monster arrived and commenced the boulder bombardment. So... full of valor... armor shining in the sun... I climbed the hill to take him on. But he pounded me like one tenderizes a Yakow steak.
- Daxter: Have you tried attacking him with your melodrama? 'Cause it's killing me.
- Daxter: Look, old man! Are you gonna keep yappin', or are you gonna help me outta this mess?
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: I'm gonna keep yappin'! Because in my professional opinion, the change is an improvement. And besides... I couldn't help you if I wanted to.
- Daxter: WHAT?
- Daxter: Stay fuzzy, save the world... choices. Oh, all right, fine! We'll save the world! But do it quickly before I change my mind!
- Maia: We have been given a beauty beyond anything you could understand.
- Daxter: Beauty? Have you two looked in a mirror lately?
- Maia: Just wait until we open the silos, little one. You think short and fuzzy is bad...
- Gol: And to think, you two traveled all the way here for *my* help! Fools! Enjoy your front-row seats to the re-creation of the world!
- Yellow Sage: Who woulda thought I'd live to see the day I had to be rescued by a boy and his muskrat? I'm gonna give Gol and Maia a little payback for these embarrassments! Then we'll see about cookin' up some muskrat stew.
- [Daxter gulps]
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: It's about time you two decided to show up!
- Daxter: Nice to see you, too! Do they have you mopping the floors now?
- Mayor: Oh, don't tell me you two have problems as well! First, I hear of monstrous sightings near the village, now this. See those gears, boys? See them? See how they're not moving? That means our village has no power! The Eco beam coming from the jungle temple has been interrupted.
- Daxter: Did you pay the bill?
- Birdwatcher: Oh my, what a horribly sick little bird!
- Daxter: Huh! You don't look so good yourself, lady!
- Birdwatcher: Oh, sorry! I thought you were a Spotted Orange-Bellied Rain Fray.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Hey! It looks like the Blue Sage threw a party!
- Keira: Oh my! Rock Village is on fire!
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: One HECK of a party!
- Boggy Billy: I own these here parts. Everything that doesn't sink into the mud that is!
- Daxter: Judging by the smell, I'd wager your bathtub sank into the mud long ago!
- Boggy Billy: What's a bathtub?
- Daxter: There wont be any Dark Eco stuff there, right? 'Cause I'd hate to fall in again and turn into you.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: GET IN THERE BEFORE I TURN YOU BOTH INTO FERNS!
- Keira: And they are all just waiting to be picked up by a brave adventurer.
- Daxter: Well weve got the brave adventurer.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: BRAVE ADVENTURER! You guys wouldnt be able to get out of the village without training.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Good training, boys. But that's nothing compared to the challenges that lie ahead!
- Daxter: Aaaah, they're noooo problem! We got the moves, eh Jak? We'd love to stay and chat, Big Green, but we're uh, itching to get on with our adventures.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Fine, fine. "Adventure" away then. And while you're out "adventuring", why don't you make youeself useful? My darn Green Eco collectors are clogged up again. Head out to the far side of the beach and clear them out, why don't you? Follow the lamps. They'll take you right there. Now... all of you... GET OUT OF HERE!
- [the house shakes]
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: [emerging from the transporter] Oh, I always wonder if I'm losing body parts in those things!... Holy Yakow! The Red Sage's lab looks worse than the Blue's!
- Keira: Well, it definetly looks as though there's been a struggle here.
- Gol: Ha ha ha ha ha! I'd hardly call it a "struggle", would you, dear sister?
- Maia: Certainly not. The Red Sage gave up with so little effort. No fun at all.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: ...Gol? Is that you? You've finally gone off the deep end, eh? And Maia, I told you the Dark Eco would affect you both! Nobody ever listens to old Samos... What have you done with the Blue and Red Sages?
- Gol: Don't worry about your colorful friends, you old fool! They're perfectly safe at our Citadel... our special guests.
- Maia: They have graciously agreed to help us on a little... project.
- Gol: You were wrong, Samos. Dark Eco CAN be controlled! We've learned its secrets. And now we can re-shape the world to our liking!
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: You can't control Dark Eco by itself! Even the Precursors...
- Maia: Until now, we've had to scrape by with what little Dark Eco can be found near the surface. But soon, we will have access to the vast stores of Dark Eco hidden deep underground.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Not the silos?
- Gol: Yes, the silos! They WILL be opened! And all the Dark Eco of the world will be OURS!
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: But that's impossible! Only a Precursor Robot...
- Maia: Oh, don't look so upset, Samos. We've got BIG plans for you... Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah...!
- [Gol and Maia vanish]
- Daxter: Wait a minute! THAT was Gol? The same Gol who's supposed to turn me back? GOL is the guy trying to kill us?
- [beat]
- Daxter: I'm doomed.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: We may ALL be doomed! If they open the silos, the Dark Eco will twist and destroy everything it touches! We simply MUST get to their Citadel to stop them!
- Keira: The fastest way there is through the Lava Tube at the bottom of this crater. A few more Power Cells and your Zoomer's heat shield should get you across the lava safely.
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: All right, my boy! You know what to do! Take the flea- bag and go round up more Power Cells!
- Gol: You're too late, Samos! Once I possess limitless Dark Eco, I will have the key to creation itself!
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: This is madness! Releasing that much Dark Eco will destroy everything we know! Just look at what it's done to YOU!
- Maia: It has given us a beauty beyond anything YOU could understand!
- Daxter: Beauty? Have you two looked in the mirror lately?
- Maia: Just wait until we open the silos, little one. You think short and fuzzy is bad...
- Gol: And to think, you two traveled all the way here for MY help! FOOLS! Enjoy your front-row seats to the re-creation of the world!
- Keira: Apparently, the Precursor structure just off the coast leads to an underwater lost city! The Blue Sage has been trying to figure out how we can bring one of the chambers to the surface, but he was never successful. You should check it out!
- Daxter: Uh, aren't there a lot of um, Lurker Sharks in that water?
- Keira: Why? Are you scared?
- Daxter: Me? Of course not! Just... lookin' out for Jak here. You uh, know what a chicken he can be.
- [Jak glares]
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Great balls of Eco! There seems to be a large Lurker presence in the Spider Caves!
- Daxter: Great. Sounds like a real cheery place. Let me guess... there are SPIDERS in Spider Caves, right?
- Samos Hagai the Green Sage: Of course there are spiders in Spider Caves!
- Daxter: [looking into a pool of Dark Eco] Eek! What is that dark ooze? It sure don't look friendly. The sage yaps on about the Precursors that built this place all the time: "Where did they go? Why did they build this crap?" Now, I like Precursor Orbs and power cells as much as the next guy, but if you ask me, they must've been real losers.
- Ollie the Fisherman: I can't seem to catch a single fish in this river.
- Daxter: Whoo! Maybe... it's your breath?
- Gambler: Oh no, not another hero! I lost my shorts on this so-called hero's big fight against the monster up there! Trust me, the smart money's on the monster. That wager pretty much tapped me out! So's, I got a proposal. Bring me ninety orbs to get me back on my feet and out of this barrel, and I'll give you a power cell in return! And if you're game, I do have one more bet on mind. My big comeback! Beat the record time racing Dead Man's Gorge in the Precursor Basin, and I'll get a pretty payoff! For that, I'll give you another power cell!
