Hartmann's tapes

Hammer Valley Dam tape

Tape found in the control room of the Hammer Valley Dam.

Transcript:

"My name is Alex Hartman."

"I was just betrayed by the man who practically built this whole city."

"It started with Bergmann."

"Then Stalburg Steel, and now my company."

"All bankrupted by Jeff Walter."

"He bought the companies for next to nothing and then ran them straight into the ground."

"But that's the least of my problems."

"With the company out of business, there's no way we can keep everything in good repair."

"Things are breaking down all over the city, but no one's doing anything about it."

"The police, the mayor, and now it seems like even the governor's in his pocket."

"They care more about his money than what he's doing to this place."

"Whatever he's planning, it's going to happen."

"And I don't wanna be here when it does."

"Because there's one thing I'm sure of."

"Everything's about to fall apart."

Bergmann Water Tunnel tape

Tape found in the control room of the Hammer Valley Dam.

Transcript:

"The Bergmann Group was a great company founded by Eric Kleinmann and Xeander Berg."

"I'd say that company played a big part in rebuilding the city, but somehow Walter managed to take all the credit for that."

"Anyway, Xeander Berg was a vital part of that company."

"When he disappeared, The Bergmann Group started having trouble staying afloat."

"Ultimately the other shareholders forced Kleinmann to sell his share of the company."

"He became a broken man."

"Now Kleinmann clearly needs someone to guide him."

"He's a great man capable of great things."

"I need him and he needs me."

Hydroelectric power plant tape

Tape found in the generator hall at the Hydroelectric Power Plant in the Bergmann Tunnel.

Transcript:

"When I founded my company, I was sure that it would be successful."

"But when we started building the Two Gorges dam, problems started to appear."

"We didn't have much money and the project was very expensive."

"I did my best to reduce the cost, but the damage had already been done."

"Then Stalburg Steel went bankrupt."

"It was one of my company's major clients."

"After that, our revenue shrunk to almost nothing."

"Eventually, I had no choice but to sell the company."

"I was about to close the deal with a man who could have been able to save the company."

"But he backed out at the last minute."

"My only option was to sell the company to Jeff Walter."

"The man whose last two business acquisitions had resulted in bankruptcy."

"Of course I had my doubts about the acquisition, but I figured it would be better than nothing."

"Little did I know that it would lead to such an unsafe living environment and ultimately the death of many innocents."

"Including my wife and only child."

"Now that coward is out there hiding somewhere."

"I'm going to find him and make him taste his own medicine."

Stalburg Steel administration office tape

Tape found at the administration office of the Stalburg Steel.

Transcript:

"Stalburg Steel was one of the largest clients of my company."

"Mikhail Rosenthal was the original owner, but he later sold the majority of his company to Walter."

"Stalburg Steel was doing so well, but then."

"I'm not even really sure what happened."

"Undeclared work, low wages, hazardous working conditions."

"The Metalworkers' Union strike was the last straw."

"Somehow Walter managed to bring down the entire company."

"Rosenthal knows this and he wants to help me."

"It's time to do what I have planned."

"He was the reason why I couldn't find Walter."

"Rosenthal was informing him about all my plans."

"It matters little."

"I've found Walter's hiding place."

"It's a building owned by Rosenthal, but I need a plan before I go there."

"I will take Eric Kleinmann with me, and we will face Walter together."

"Jeff Walter!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"I only regret that I'm not around to see it."

"It just wasn't enough that you had to destroy my life, was it?"

"The whole city is on the brink of collapse, all because of you."

"Take a close look at these walls."

"This place is right under your own headquarters, and yet is in so bad shape that it could fall apart at any moment."

"There is only one thing left for me to do."
