Unused Scientist lines

I'm not entirely certain that the scientist thousand lines were meant to ever be used or even are scientist lines, seeing as they don't follow the naming scheme of any other scientist clips, and they don't have the same voice actor which seems very interesting to me.

Either way, I'm not sure the transcripts are correct. 2thou is definitely "two thousand", and 4thou is definitely "four thousand", but all the odd numbers sound like "one one thousand", "three one thousand", and "five one thousand." I don't know why it would be that way, but there's definitely an "un" being said before the thousand, and since it doesn't happen for the even numbers, I'm not sure it's just a vocal quirk.

Sounds like the same VA to me, just with different inflection. And he is definitely saying "oneonethousand" and so on, it's a common way of counting out loud, as saying "-onethousand" at the end makes it about as long as one second. Also, I SWEAR I have heard it in the game, right outside the test chamber where the scientist is trying to revive the guard. I just don't remember which version of the game it was. --UshankaCat (talk) 12:55, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I can finally confirmed that they are used, but only when playing with the censored scientist models from the German version! UshankaCat (talk) 14:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
