Dialogue[]
The Grandmaster: Well done, Carina! I am impressed; for one so recently recovered, you are certainly sharp! The Grandmaster: Almost as if you unconsciously adapt and grow with every struggle... hm. The Grandmaster: --Oh, and Summoner. Good job defeating a Sentinel. I've certainly never seen you do that a hundred times. The Grandmaster: I think your talents would be better spent keeping my dear niece out of harm's way.
Carina: Gimme a break, Uncle En Dwi! I'm doing fine!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Carina: That was a great warmup, eh Summoner? Carina: In fact, I'm itching to learn more about what I'm capable of... I'm surprising even myself!
The Collector: You are no doubt capable, dear, but I believe it is time to-- Carina: Going now! The Collector: Harumph!

Ægon: Seeing your control of the ISO-8 power makes me curious, Carina. Ægon: I was able to heal your wounds with the power of my belt. I wonder if you could restore more than just the Battlerealm's damaged parts. Ægon: ISO-8 is now part of all of us in this place. Perhaps the people themselves could be healed. Carina: Hey, maybe!
Captain Marvel: If that's the case, I might know a guy who knows a guy... Carina: Who's the hookup, Cap'n? Captain Marvel: A sorceror, the sorceror. He used his magic to stop a tyrant not long ago, but sacrificed everything to do so. Captain Marvel: He's been unresponsive, severed from his powers since, but I have a lead on the dirtbag who has been taking advantage of that.

Ægon: That sounds most beneficial. Carina: You said it, Stardust. Let's help this guy out! Captain Marvel: Alright. Our target should be ahead. He's consumed the power of Strange's astral form. Captain Marvel: We won't be able to undo all the damage he's done, but we might be able to finally awaken Stephen.

Captain Marvel: There he is... Carina: Whoa, gross; check out the eyeball on that guy!
Symbiote Supreme: Flies in the web, prey for my power. You are far too late to free Strange's astral energy from my grasp. Symbiote Supreme: The Sorceror Supreme's power shall not be returned. We will remain singular in our rule!
