Well, until Character shows up, of course.

I don't remember that happening before.

At 75% Life: I'm losing cohesion! I knew I should have worn a lead chest-plate!

At 25% Life: No, no, no! You can't defeat me until after you've defeated me first!

Trying to flee: My part is done here. I'll just be leaving now.

Chronoporting!

Combat start: Ah! Right on time, Character. Let's see if this works this time.

At 75% Life: It's almost done. I just hope it works this time.

Dr Aeon?: Wait...

Dr Aeon?: You're me?
