Lazarus' radio segments (DXMD)

The rogue radio host Lazarus broadcasts his radio segments throughout the world during Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The content of his show mostly centers around conspiracy theories, particularly ones related to current events. Lazarus' opinions on these events are often at odds with what mainstream media such as Picus TV have to say about them.

Below are the transcripts of his segments, organized by location. The titles give an indication of the subject matter of each segment.

Aug Incident
''First of all, let me get this out of the way when talking about the Aug Incident. I've always hated that title. "Incident", INCIDENT? Steve losing the head after eating three burritos and forgetting to light a match, THAT'S an incident. What happened that faithful day in 2026 was beyond terror any of us has ever seen. Aug Incident? Try Aug Travesty, try Aug Massacre. How about Aug Armageddon! Cause that's where we're headed thanks to the horror that the Illuminati and their Humanity Front puppets unleashed on the earth that day. I'm taking the time in this broadcast to remember, not so we can get together and cry about lives lost. I lost people too and they should never be forgotten. No, I'm doing it because the Aug Incimassageddon is only the first of many horror shows we're about to be subjected to. Unless we figure this shit out FAST. Remember the Cold War and how we sat on the brink of destruction minute by minute? How we hated the Commies and the Commies hated us? How they had a way of life that we couldn't fuckin' stand and it was only a matter of time before they swallowed us up in their ideology and technological superiority? I don't either actually, but my grandpa used to tell me about those days and let me tell you, followers, it's starting to sound awfully fuckin' familiar.''

Task Force 29
''You know, we haven't heard much about this Task Force 29 division lately. The one Interpol created in 2027 after that quote-unquote "horrifying breakdown of cooperation between the intelligence gathering organizations worldwide". Not like we were expecting to of course. I mean, it's not like they can come out and say "we've created a special intelligence force of natural born killers who can enter your country whenever it wants, bust into your house, and detain you for who knows how long if you happen to buy a packet of cigarettes from a local 7-Eleven guy". But if you read what I'm reading these days, and by that I mean UN Resolution 0451 which ratified the deal, you'd be appalled. Not only have these guys have no restrictions as far as international boundaries go, they're charged with both preventing attacks, and investigating them after they happen. That's right geniuses! TF29 gets to pick and choose which attacks to stop, and which they want to roll forward. Ooooh, I hear 'em saying as they rub their pudgy world dominating hands together: "I feel the need for a little mass destruction today to remind the plebs why they need to be policed" or "Ooh I need a little terror plot foiled to remind them that we're here to protect them, not control them". It's brilliant followers, fuckin' New World Order brilliant.''

Růžička Station bombing
''Unbelievable. We got Picus on here in our secret location, which we are calling grandma's tearoom, and as usual, they are doing their due diligence to pin this most recent bombing in Prague on ARC. Now, I'm not saying Rucker and the Augmented Rights Coalition don't get their hands dirty once in a while, who can blame 'em. If you were the only legitimate hope to liberate a terrorized minority, you'd have to stick a pipe in a wheel one in a while to let people know you are not messing around when it comes to defending your own. But to say Rucker is behind mass destruction on this level is ridiculous. COME ON, the man's a fuckin' doctor. Is it possible that being locked up in Golem City all this time has caused him to go a little cuckoo? Lots of talk about how he's been hitting the bottle hard these last few months. We've all seen pics of what that isolationist hellhole looks like inside, but I personally don't believe he has such a hold on his followers that they would walk blindly into a situation where they'd be responsible for a mass murder on this scale. Uh-uh. NOT buying it, not buying it Picus, as usual. In fact Picus, the more you say it, the LESS I'm buying it. That's just a personal rule when it comes to me. And just for the record, my eyeballs are happy that Eliza Cassan is back as the host after that disappearance in '27 for a while. But my ear-holes still don't believe any word that slut-puppet has to say. And I'm digressing again.''

Faked death and kidnapping
''As all you followers probably know, I've been a marked man for years. The reality of this being that I have to hide out in grandma's tearoom and hire two computer geeks full time to block off and descramble hacking codes while they're snacking on cheesy puffs all day. Love writing those paychecks I tell ya. But these are the golden days compared to two decades ago when I had to fake my own death or when Illuminagents stormed the van we were broadcasting out of, put Steve in a full nelson and locked us up for two weeks? I think Steve is still twitching from the. Yes, I told them I would stop our broadcasts, and two years later, here we are again giving you the uncensored, unoppressable, undeniable truth. With Laz, what you see is what you get, and no threats from any bully, I don't care what level of Masonry he's achieved, is going to push me around. Isn't that right Steve? Steve? Awh damn it Steve, you're eating all the scones again.''
