Ezra:

"As he turns around to face you immediately notice there is something off with this man."

change to

"As he turns around to face you, you immediately notice there is something off with this man."

or

"As he turns around you immediately notice there is something off with this man."

When talking to Second Lieutenant Garren, the player has the following dialogue line:
(reporting the threat to the embassy)

"This guy named Abram that hands out at the tavern..."

Should be instead:

"This guy named Abram that hangs out at the tavern..."
Utility Belt
"The most important tool in fighting crime."

- From my experience it's the smaller groups or individual tunnelers that you should be most vary of. Larger groups generally leave other Underrail folk alone as long as they don't bother them.

- If you absolutely must fight them, try to get close and personal. That's when they are not comfortable with exposing their massive brains so they can sling psionics and will either try to gain some distance or will just bite you; and their bite is far less dangerous than their psionics.
+ Lots of problems in this sentence.

- You see, the weird thing is, not only do they hit you harder when they are in a group, they also start throwing crazier and crazier stuff your way the more of them joins the fight.

There are a lot of grammar errors that I didn't point out in the above. But my grammar is not much better, so I can't suggest alternatives.  :-[

Fixed the stuff above.

Didn't change "The Faceless" to "The Faceless Ones", though. I think the former is more fitting.

Oops. I suggested "wearily" in my last post, but that should really be "warily". They're two different words apparently.

[edit]

Also:

Some also call them 'the Faceless' because they believe that under their huge masks they have no face. Superstitious don't like people saying that word though; they say it can draw their attention to you.

I'm not sure if "they have no face" should really be "they have no faces". Might need to consult an English expert.

Also might want to change "they say it can draw their attention to you" to "they believe saying it can draw their attention to you". Again, not 100% sure.

Engineering.

Harold : After that you should be able to reactivate all the outposts. I'm afraid you'll have to do that manually though.  You see, each of them has a switch that cuts off the power in a case of a hazard.

should be : cuts off the power in case of a hazard.

get rid of the 'a'

Opening sequence:

Vera Hale: Almost everyone is working shifts up there now that administration level is stabilized.

maybe try: now that 'the' administration level is stabilized.

Medical

Pasquale: Furthermore, Roche points out that the areas of the brain where the activity takes place were never even properly charted, let alone decoded.

I'd get rid of 'even'

Pasquale: There are ways to do this by extended meditation, but this can take years.  We have more efficient method nowadays.

'We have more efficient methods nowadays.'

Pasquale: Quinton is well versed in Metathermics, which is the area of psionic development that deals with instigating rapid temperature changes and chemical reactions.  He used to be one of Biotech researchers working on new applications of psionics.

First Mission.

Hadrian Tanner:  I think there are total of five outposts plus the one with the generator.

'I think there are 'a' total of five'

Engineering.

Ezra: He speaks with calm and even voice.

'He speaks with 'a' calm and even voice.'

After mind control. Description says.  'You find yourself on a small isle in a middle of lake with no recollection of how you got here.'

Should be more like ' You find yourself on a small isle in the middle of a lake with no recollection of how you got here.'
