The quotes in this section are taken from Sheamon's Xenogears Script on Gamefaqs.com.

Miang: The Prime Minister and General Vanderkaum are here to see you, commander.
Miang's very first words in the game.

Ramsus: Miang, could it possibly be a 'Relic'?
Miang: Yes. But there is still no response. There seems to be a barrier or something. However, we do know from the 500 year old records that one certainly exists in this vicinity. It's probably well preserved too.
This is the first mention in the game about the Anima Relics/Vessels of Anima.

Shakhan: Miang, how about the Tournament? Will you grace us with your company?
Miang: Yes. It would be a pleasure.
Shakhan: Oh, it's starting!
Announcer: The first match... Gonzales vs. the Ponytailed Slacker!
Miang: My... what a handsome boy!
Obviously, "Ponytailed Slacker" was what the scriptwriter chose. I don't know about you, but I chose an arena name that would strike fear in the hearts of my opponents.

Miang: If you truly want to protect that child, then surrender... Prince Bartholomew!
Bart: Oh yeah? You know about me, huh? Heh! It's not such a bad feeling having your name known by someone as beautiful as you.
Margie: Ba-arty!
Miang: You may have had your problems with Shakhan, but we won't treat you badly. Concerning Shakhan, it really doesn't matter 'either way' to us.
Bart: That's nice to know. But I can't accept it. See, for me, 'either way' is bad.
Bart runs into Miang and Ramsus while rescuing Margie.

Miang: Peeping is not very becoming, you know...!? Heh heh... I saw the boy that you are after fight in the tournament... I could tell right away. He resembles you greatly.
Grahf: You used the influence of the Ministry to set you up with that man... I don't know what you are up to, but don't you dare think about plotting against me. You stay out of this!
Miang: Oh, I see the news has already reached you... As usual, you're the first to hear about everything. But don't worry... I won't steal your 'prized possession'. I'll cooperate... Besides, you and I go back a long way...
After Ramsus gets a nightmare and leaves the bed.

Citan: Oh-oh...! Where is Kahr...?
Miang: I see you are quick to catch on. Ramsus should be taking care of all your divided forces out by the Nisan border as we speak. Ramsus easily saw through your plan to use a feint attack by Kislev long ago. Don't underestimate us... Hyuga, have you lived down here so long that your mind has slipped? And Sigurd, who would have thought you would have joined the last survivors of the royal dynasty...
Sigurd: Damn it... Why are you still backing Shakhan? What does it matter to you who the king is?
Miang: Hah! You suggest the son of the murdered King Fatima? He refused to cooperate! You mean to say that now he wants to be our puppet all of a sudden? That I don't believe... even coming from the mouth of a traitor like you. Ha ha ha... Besides, stupidity in puppets has its advantages.
Shakhan: Stu, stupidity!? Miang, what's that supposed to mean?
Miang: Minister Shakhan, I'll let you handle this. You must protect your own position. We don't care who is sitting on the throne. Any obedient sheep will be fine. However, isn't there something that you still have to do? If you will only do that, then we'll help you as much as possible.
Shakhan: Yes, you don't have to tell me. One must take care of one's own country's criminals personally.
Miang: Then, with your permission I shall take my leave...
Bart: Hey now! Wait a minute!!
Miang: Goodbye... boys.
Solaris' intentions about the surface dwellers is revealed openly.

Ramsus: Th, that Gear! No mistake! It's him! Demon of Elru...! Miang! Let's go!
[Ramsus rushes from the bridge.]
Miang: Commander! Please wait! Commander!!
[Miang heads towards the door, but pauses first...]
Miang: Ha, ha...
The plot thickens.

[Miang in her Gear walks up to Wyvern.]
Miang: Commander... let's pull out!
[Miang picks up Wyvern.]
Ramsus: Don't do anything unwarranted, Miang! I still have one arm!!
Miang: We're pulling out! ...That mad dog seems to have a new toy to play with.
[Miang and Wyvern fly away.]
See? Miang takes care of Ramsus... to some degree. But he listens to her.

Masked Woman: I've told you before. I simply wish to observe what is in store for the world. There are so many things you people must know. I am merely your guide. I cannot directly assist you. How you use it is entirely up to you.
The Executioner gives something to Kaiser Sigmund.

Ramsus: Put all the crew members on emergency alert. We're attacking the Kislev ship.
Miang: We can't, Commander! We don't have orders from the capital yet. If we move from here...
Ramsus: I don't care! I won't allow them to escape!
[Miang leaves the bridge and walks out to the hall, where Grahf waits.]
Grahf: I believe I already said your tricks will do you no good.
Miang: I'm just trying to help. Didn't I help get those 'shackles' off? They don't know this, but... he's necessary for Kahr. He's the very meaning of Kahr's existence. Yes, I must thank you. After all, you did help me, didn't you?
Grahf: ...
Miang: Was it for me? Or for him? ...Or... for yourself?
At this point in the game, anyone who doesn't become the least bit suspicious of Miang's role in the entirety of the plot seriously is dense.

[Meanwhile, in the head Gebler ship, Domina slaps Elly in the hallway. Elly falls to the ground.]
Domina: Cease your naive utterances!
Elly: I've said nothing wrong!
[Dominia pulls out her sword.]
Domina: I have no intentions of discussing this matter further with you! Your traitorous actions are already apparent! I will beat you down right here!!
Voice: Stop at once.
[Miang walks up to Elly.]
Miang: Are you okay?
Dominia: Miang! What are you doing? She is a traitor!
Miang: Such acts will not be allowed on a ship under Ramsus' command... No matter the reason! I have examined the records of the battle between the Haishao and Vierge... From what I can tell, it was you who attacked first, wasn't it? She had no choice but to defend herself after you took it upon yourself to attack without permission. Above all, you were meant to be under Kelvena's command. Were you obeying Kelvena's orders?
Dominia: ...
Miang: You are not to prosecute any soldier for treason without proper authority. Even if you are both Elements. Further... Isn't your attitude toward the Lieutenant, nothing more than your own personal prejudice? Or am I mistaken?
Dominia: What!? I would never...
Miang: Thus far, we still cannot determine whether or not she is guilty of treason. To investigate the truth of this matter further, I am placing the lieutenant under my supervision. Is that clear?
Dominia: How dare you! By what authority!?
[Suddenly, Miang's eyes starts glowing. Dominia calms down.]
Dominia: What!?
Miang: Let's go.
[Miang and Elly leave.]
Dominia: ...Wha...what was that? Those eyes...
[In a nearby room, Elly sits on a table.]
Miang: ...I see... So that's what was going on.
Elly: ...
Miang: Since I have other matters to attend to, would you mind staying here for a while?
Elly: Not at all.
Miang: You do not have to worry about a thing. Leave the rest to me. What you need is to recover from your fatigue.
[Miang's eyes glow again.]
Miang: Crystalline, blue... like the surface of a lake...
Elly: Uh...excuse me?
Miang: Your eyes... They're beautiful.
Elly: What?
[Miang leaves and heads to the bridge.]
Everyone hates Miang, but not Dominia. I wonder why?

Ramsus: By the way... What happened between you and Dominia? She was livid.
Miang: I'm sorry. It had to do with that Yggdrasil incident earlier. Those girls work hard. Especially for you... It's my job to be hated.
One of my personal favorites.

Miang: ...Did you notice? His Gear is reawakening. Soon, he himself will awaken also. His friends are headed for Zeboim. It's been sealed up for 4000 years. You know what's there better than I do. He probably won't give anyone anything. But it's something we both need. You know what I mean? ...so, please.
Talking to Grahf.

Krelian: Hmm, according to the transferred record, it depicts... ...a similar wave frequency as expected. And... yes, the Urobolus Ring...! That is it, isn't it...? Miang and Lacan's actions... this explains everything. Elhaym... You were the 'mother'...
Elly: Mother...?
Krelian: Yes. This is what your genetic exon looked like before replacement... This is the conceptualized form of the intron which carries information that isn't supposed to exist. Observe, This is the Urubolus Ring which contains 'intron information' which only... ...exists in 'certain people'. Urobolus... if we were to anatomize such a thing... Wouldn't you be interested in what type of information it would have to offer us?
Elly: ...
Krelian: Elhaym, you are beautiful. When I look at you, I appreciate the artistic aspect of the human form, its eleborateness... I can't help but feel the importance of that. As if my molecular machine is unworthy of you. You haven't changed 'since then'. Just like the 'other one', Lacan...
Elly is clueless. Okay, so Miang doesn't speak in this part, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

Executioner: Yes, it's clear. It's nothing like the half-assed stuff we've dealt with before.
[A flash of light glows around the Executioner, and suddenly her costume vanishes. She is in actuality, Miang.]
Miang: I don't think he'll get off the stage easily this time. Fei's mental energy seems to have been awakened and... it's similar to 'the old days' now... Ha, ha...
Krelian: What's so amusing?
Miang: His feelings haven't changed over the years. Maybe you have mixed feelings?
Krelian: Hmph, don't be stupid. By the way... What about Ramsus?
Miang: You want him to bring her back? Too late. Kahr has left already.
Krelian: I really want to say it's a waste of time... but, I guess it's alright. He probably made it easier to control it... Nevertheless...
Miang: What?
Krelian: How can you continue to fight without a chance of winning...?
Miang: Isn't that what you want? Though I induced you to feel that way... But, we're almost there. Our only actual example of success. Let's take good care of him.
Krelian: What her true intentions are... I don't even know. We're going. This place will soon be gone.
[Krelian walks off.]
Miang: I agree. We should do Kahr a favor and save him... shouldn't we?
Executioner swears and reveals her true identity.

Miang: Kahr, are you going?
Ramsus: Yes. I must get rid of him with my own hands.
Miang: Be careful. I believe in you no matter what others say.
Manipulation or actual care? Maybe a little of both?

Miang: The chains that restrained humankind have been removed because of you.
Krelian: But that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with our plan... Everything is still under control. In the event of the explosion in the capital of Solaris earlier... ...I had set up a nanomachine virus to diffuse into the atmosphere. I knew they were eventually going to break the seal... But the timing was a little close to comfort... The current mutations of the humans are an initial response to the virus... Once the virus we spread over the world germinates inside of the humans they are no longer the same. They change into a controllable form. We need humans that do not depend on the key's invocation in order to awaken. In other words, a being to take the place of the original body of god...
Miang: It's like a trojan horse released at the time of the assimilation with god... A literal virus... But... isn't it different from what they intended...?
Krelian: Of course. We can't let them have it their way. The 'Ark of God' is mine.
Miang: Either way is fine by me. I will just side with whichever is the more certain one anyway...
Ooh, evil.

Gazel Blue 1: So 'Mother', will you do it for us?
Miang: Maybe... Did Krelian say anything?
Gazel Blue 4: Something concerning the potential energy as a countervailing existence... With everything focusing on a single point...
Miang: I see... But Kahr is still shaken up by... yesterday's defeat against Fei. We are almost ready. I need a little more time...
Gazel Blue 1: Then we'll wait. We'll wait till the time is ripe...
[Dominia listens in on the conversation from outside.]
Dominia: Krelian...? A countervailing existence...? That Miang.. what's she up to...? I had better warn the Commander...!
The plot thickens even further.

Miang: Kahr... Don't worry. I'll always be by your side. No one knows you better than I do. So don't...
Ramsus: Miang! Is this... Is this all I can do? Is this the extent of my strength and abilities? I couldn't beat him... And in front of that woman, I couldn't even do a thing... Is this the limit of my existence!? My abilities...!?
Krelian: ...You're the same as Cain. An archetype that surpasses all humans. I made you in the same way. but he is the one who is preventing you from fully releasing your powers. Divided powers... That man was your original form. The primordial superior being... If you could defeat him, then you would be...
Miang: Yes. Even with your superior constitution, the existence of the original being hinders you. If you could eliminate the divided power, then it would all be yours... Don't you agree Kahr...?
The first line is very ambiguous. It's technically true, but could it be taken further?

Miang: ...Hehem... Adieu, boys...
[They defeat Opiomorph. The Gear falls.]
Miang: My, aren't we powerful...
[It gets up, seemingly undamaged.]
Miang: Heh... Well then... let's start over from the beginning again. You think you can beat me this time?
Fei: What the...!? I thought I defeated you...!?
Krelian: Unless you can decompose her atomic structure, you don't stand much of a chance. Normal attacks are futile against the one who has the ability to regenerate using nanomachines.
Miang: Now, the time has come for the great awakening!
Miang doesn't get too many lines aside from giant expositional paragraphs on the second disc.
