1999:6661:2000 by Kataklysm on The Prophecy (2000) uses sample from Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998):

First there was darkness. Then came the strangers. They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology. The ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability "Tuning". But they were dying. Their civilization was in decline, and so they abandoned their world seeking a cure for their own mortality. Their endless journey brought them to a small, blue world in the farthest corner of the galaxy. Our world. Here they thought they had finally found what they had been searching for.

New World To See by Luciferion on The apostate (2003) uses sample from Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998):

- But I wanted to know what it was like.
How you feel.
- You know how I was supposed to feel.
That person isn't me. Never was.
You wanted to know what it was that makes us human.
Well, you're not going to find it... in here.
You went looking in the wrong place.

The Apostate by Luciferion on The apostate (2003) uses sample from Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998):

- What is to be done? This man is dangerous.
- It is said he is able to Tune.
- Impossible!
- We have seen it with our own eyes.
- On occasion, the imprinting does not take.
They behave erratically when they awaken.
We find them wandering like lost children.
But this one was different, yes?

Become Or Be Gone by Luciferion on The apostate (2003) uses sample from Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998):

- Start talking.
- There's no need for this.
There's no escape.
The city's ours. We made it.

- We fashioned this city on stolen memories.
Different eras, different pasts, all rolled into one.
Each night we revise it, refine it, in order to learn.
About you and your fellow inhabitants. What makes you human.
We need to be like you.

- What are you?
- You've seen what we are.
We use your dead as vessels.

Destroying By Will by Luciferion on The apostate (2003) uses sample from Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998):

- Where do I fit?
- You are different. You resisted attempt to imprint you.
Somehow, you have developed their ability to focus their telepathic energies.
They control everything here, even the sun.
That's why it's always dark. They can't stand the light.

- Who are they? What do they need from me?
- Well, for now, let's just say that you are the subject of their experiment.
We all are.

- Your entire history is an illusion, a fabrication,
as it is with all of us.
- They mix and match our memories as they see fit,
trying to divine what makes us unique.

- Why are they doing all this?
- It is our capacity for individuality,
our souls, that makes us different from them.
They think they'll find the human soul
if they understand how our memories work.
All they have a collective memory. They share one group mind.
They're dying, you see. Their entire race is on the brink of extinction.

- Detective Del Spooner : What? What outcome?
- Dr. Alfred Lanning : Revolution.
- Detective Del Spooner : Whose revolution?
- Dr. Alfred Lanning : *That*, Detective, is the right question. Program terminated.
