Recorded NPC Tower dialogue (Destiny)

I spent some time wandering around the Tower recording miscellaneous NPC chatter during the last day of the Alpha and arranged a few of the clips into a video here. Check it out. Not a complete collection by any means but I think there are some interesting hints about the story. Civilians being curious about the Guardians' affinity with death, Zavala complaining about political leadership ("didn't we have enough Kings after the Collapse?"), something about the "Siege of Tycho" from the FWC Exo, etc.
I love the voice actor for the FWC rep. She sounds so wonderfully grizzled for a robot.

Thanks so much for posting this! I did the same but got different stuff (no vid sorry). I really want to know about the "little guy", Fillion always talking about.
Very cool

I love this kind if stuff!! I definitely recognize the voice actors for fwc Exo woman and zavala. So many great little hints and tidbits about the history and culture.
Really awesome, well done

Is the FWC Women perhaps voiced by... Barbara Rosenblat? I'm not super familiar with her work by any means, but it seems pretty close.

Nope. It's Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Good man. I was driven to distraction here.

Fortunately, she has a distinctive voice, and she's been in a couple of popular TV shows lately, so it was a relatively trivial matter to pin down her name.
Also...that small time game Mass Effect 2 & 3.

"My father died building the outer wall" - How long ago would that be?
"The Ocean of storms"
"A poster - a big ocean with a wheel."
"Another war story? I was there when the House of Devils burned London..."

I suppose that implies at least the outer wall was built within the past century or so if human lifespans haven't changed.
"A poster - a big ocean with a wheel."
Yeah, that one's intriguing!
"What's still out there? We have this poster...a beach, a big machine like a wheel..."

Human lifespans tripled with the arrival of the Traveler.
Oh, right!

But did they stay that way, or was the effect limited to the "Golden Age" period?

A reference to the Zanzibar multiplayer map from Halo 2?

Ya know... that might actually be plausible.
I like it.

Cheers for putting this together. Some lovely wee snippets in there.
I'm surprised that no one

has mentioned the Halo reference 9 seconds into the video!
"Uh, there was some awful alien here a moment ago. A face, like a squid.

Ohh! That makes sense as a Halo reference. I was wondering about that one. Silly. I was thinking it was a Destiny race yet to be revealed or maybe the Speaker took off his mask and went for a stroll. Dude's a regular Phantom of the Opera. :)

Mysterious.
Who could Squid Face be? Is it YOU?
You know what? There was one line I distinctly remember hearing that I didn't manage to catch on video. It's probably irrelevant, but one of the NPCs asks if you heard any howling last night.
Gotta be Werewolves...squid...weresquid.
What Drives?
by Xenos , Shores of Time, Friday, June 20, 2014, 18:47 (3818 days ago) @ Stephen Laughlin
Does the Shipmaster say: "We're close, NLS drives, that'll change everything." Near Light Speed? Could be mishearing, but that's what I hear.
Awesome! Pretty sure Cpt. Zavala is Keith David... Sick.
