Here's the script for the trailer, as near as I can tell.

Spoiler below!
Female Robot: "Don't! I need it! Why?... Oh, it's okay. I'm... happy..."

Catherine Chun: "Oh, what in - what? What's happening? Hello? Is there anyone there?"
Simon: "Hey, hey! Can you hear me?"
Catherine Chun: "I hear you. Uh, Upsilon, what's going on?"
Simon: "Uh, hey, look, look, this place is not - there's something seriously wrong here. Hello?"
Catherine Chun: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. We lost another relay. Oh, listen, head for the comms center upstairs. I'll wait here."

Male Robot: "What are you guys doing?"

Simon: "What are you?"
Male Robot: "Are you blind? It's me, Carl. Carl Semken. Wrangler? Any of this sound familiar to you?"
Simon: "I - no, actually."
Male Robot: "Well, thanks for being so helpful. It's not like I'm knocked out on the floor or anything."
Simon: "Are you... human?"
Male Robot: "Hu - did - did my body give it away? I try hard to stay a mystery. Yeah, I'm human! Are you?"
Simon: "Uh, my name is Simon. Do you know anything about this place?"
Male Robot: "Oh. You're new. That makes this... slightly less weird. Look, I'm obviously hurt. If you see anyone else around, just tell them where I am."
Simon: "So... where are you, exactly?"
Male Robot: "Are you for real? I'm right here. See me waving? Look at my hands. Hey! Buddy!"
Simon: "Okay, okay! I - I'm just - I'm just gonna be - I'm - I'm not seeing it. I - I see a machine, a robot talking."
Male Robot: "What the hell are you looking at? I'm here! See?"
Simon: "Okay. I - I just didn't expect you to look like that."
Male Robot: "You're really hung up on appearances, you know that?"

Male Robot: "What the hell happened to you?"

Male Robot: "Aaagh, shit! Fuuuck!"

Male Robot: "??? I need help!"
Simon: "I - I'm sorry. I - I think I pulled the wrong lever."
Male Robot: "Oh, don't sweat it. Just - get me a doctor. I'm really hurt."

Simon: "Oh God, he's dead? He's dead."

I'm having trouble hearing the ???. He's killing me? Please carry me?

??? - Please don't leave me. I need help.
the fact you could take the badge (even though he didn't here) makes me really excited for the possibility of confronting the delusional uploads(?) about their circumstances.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I think it's worth mentioning that the Male Robot (Carl) says "Amy, is that you?" before you walk up to him.
These are the people from a transmission Frictional tweeted earlier:

Spoiler below!
Transcription of radio message intercepted at XX/XX/XXX.

UNKNOWN: Look, this is the short version. -- [CORRUPT DATA] -- gone rogue. We're not sure what it’s up to, but it looks like it’s messing with the help. Are you hurt in any way, are you guys okay?

AMY: -- [CORRUPT DATA] -- are turning on us! We need to get out of here.

UNKNOWN: Hold on, don't panic. Carl, tell Amy to calm down. You guys can’t have much left to do before evac.

CARL: Calm down, Amy.

AMY: You calm down!

An alarm is heard in UNKNOWN’s mic.

UNKNOWN: Shit. I got to go. Stay the course, ok? Stay the --

Static outburst after which the signal is lost.
i hope the game will have dev commentary like amnesia.

Ah, totally missed that. Sounds like there's overlap between the demo and the new trailer. Here's the script, then:

He says something else aswell but i can't make it out.
Thomas or anyone from Frictional: now that ARG is over, could you explain why some people got access to SOMA/ARK/WAU commands (in fact, I believe, it was just one person in /v/) and no one else did? What the criteria they met?

UPD: I just realized this thread is 5 (!) years old.
Congrats people! Big Grin
