Jason on Need A Light?

First meeting remark

Flames, I see flames everywhere.

flames
We never stopped firing at it. Back up
around a corner, fire, back up, fire. It's
gotta be hurting. You can kill it.

hurting (or) kill
We saw a little blood, our bullets were
hurting it- but it didn't seem to care.

it

I don't know if you can kill it, man, but try
as hard as you can.

name

My name doesn't matter anymore.

death

That huge, blue grinning thing torched us all.

blue (or) grinning (or) torched

Jason

Of course I'm jason, man.

pathways

I'm coding this script in the afternoon of
July 22nd, do you think we'll make MacWorld
on August 3rd?


Any word that doesn't trigger a new conversation will elicit the following reply:

Flames, I see flames everywhere.


Additional Notes

Without prior knowledge it's unlikely that you would have asked Jason about "pathways". In the Inside Mac Games Strategy & Tactics for Pathways Into Darkness, Tuncer Deniz revealed the trigger "Pathways". However, it's not obvious who you should ask. He wrote:

Once you've found the two American soldiers, get the radio beacons and ask them what the code is (the first three digits were changed to 658). Also, ask the second dead American about "Pathways." Little hidden joke from the author of the game.

There is actually five American soldiers on this level. So who is the second dead American? Only two have radio beacons: Jason and Steven. Jason is the second last body you find so perhaps that is what Tuncer meant.

Jason is rather uncommunicative. He won't respond to any team member's name other than his own. Nor will he respond to important items such as the code or the radio beacon even though he is carrying one. However he does offer us a clue on how to kill the Big Blue Meanie. The quote "If it bleeds we can kill it" from Predator springs to mind.

There is no second meeting remark associated with Jason.
