At the Irondock Shipyard: Dremelclaw Burnsure: Tab A fits into slot B? Who wrote these instructions?; Dremelclaw Burnsure: Fire up your torch, Rivetclaw. This ship is ready to sail.; Dremelclaw Burnsure: (sigh) This project will never get off the ground, so to speak.; Dremelclaw Burnsure: I've worked on plenty of boilers. Not underwater, but the principles are the same.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): You're just plain wrong. This will change the way wars are fought.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): We didn't have metal boats when we took Ascalon, or when we overthrew the Flame Legion.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): Innovation is the key to lasting victory. You'll see.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): You'd think turtles would sink, but they float. Something to do with air pockets and forward momentum.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): They're using air bladders on the next prototype. I'm skeptical.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): You hear about the Black Citadel sending a bunch of inspectors out here?

Iron Legion Soldier (2): They're anxious for the project to succeed. Imagine what we could do if we conquered the seas?

Iron Legion Soldier (1): A submarine would give us the firepower to conquer quaggans.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): Now we can explore, attack, and defend in ways we never could before.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): That's only if your precious machine floats back to the surface when you tell it to.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): I better get promoted to crew chief soon. I'm too smart to be shoveling coal.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): We're all cogs in the machine. Some of us are just smaller and greasier than others.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): This is how we do it. Iron Legion sees a problem, builds a solution.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): I still won't get inside that thing without a direct order.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): Because?

Iron Legion Soldier (2): Because it's designed to sink on purpose.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): Keep alert for more saboteurs.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): I'd like to know how they found this facility to begin with.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): Fat floats. They should just insulate the shell with pig fat.

Iron Legion Soldier (2): Have you ever smelled rotting pig fat? You'd have a working submarine, but your crew would be vomiting the whole time.

Iron Legion Soldier (1): We're going drake hunting tomorrow. Want to come?

Iron Legion Soldier (2): Can't. Nobody else knows how to make rivets, so I'm stuck on a double shift.

Ash Legion Scout: Sir, another Separatist attack is imminent.

Iron Legion Captain: How reliable is your intel?

Ash Legion Scout: We found ways to loosen our captive's tongue.

Iron Legion Captain: Well done, soldier.

Nardo Burncore: We gotta watch those Separatists every second, or they'll ettin up our plans.

Nardo Burncore: We're on the verge of a break through with the Iron Barracuda. On the verge!
