The following converstation takes place in the Area 52 inn between Anchorite Karja, Exarch Orelis, Magistrix Larynna and Spymaster Thalodien.

Anchorite Karja says: With all due respect, A'dal sent us here to investigate Kael's activities, not mount a full-scaled attack.

Spymaster Thalodien says: Look, sweetheart. No one's talking about storming Tempest Keep ourselves, but when we see a target of opportunity we have to take it.

Exarch Orelis says: Hold your tongue, Knave! Do not dare use that tone with a priestess of the Light!

Magistrix Larynna says: [Thalassian] DOr shar'adore da shando (Translation: I'm surrounded by idiots!)

Anchorite Karja says: The magistrix will be happy to know I'm fluent in Thalassian. Your courtesy is not lost on me.

Anchorite Karja says: Back to the topic... we should focus our attention on these manaforges. We need to learn what the enemy is doing with them and why.

Magistrix Larynna says: We've told you all there is to know! Do you forget that many of us used to be trusted followers of Kael'thas?

Spymaster Thalodien says: ...and just look at where that got us!

Exarch Orelis says: Even you must admit that your information from defectors is outdated and unreliable. Let us make calculated attacks on these manaforges and gather what information we can.

Spymaster Thalodien says: Finally, some talk of action from the big guy!

Area 52 has a few references to the outside world in it. The name of the town itself is a reference.

• The X2 Nether Rocket has many goblins working on it, most of whom are clad in Star Trek-inspired uniforms.
• Two of the goblins working on the X2 Nether Rocket have a dialogue running along the lines of Elton John's "Rocket Man".
• The X2 name is a reference to the X-plane, the experimental U.S. airplane/rocket program.
• The town's name is a reference to Area 51, a US military base which has strong pop culture ties to extraterrestrials and their space-faring technology.
• When going through the doors, players receive a short "debuff" (with no apparent effects) from the A-52 Neuralyzer, which says "The flash of light you did not see did not erase your memories." In the film Men in Black, agents were issued a device, also called a Neuralyzer, that wiped people's memories with a flash of light whenever they had any contact with aliens.
• Innkeeper Remi Dodoso's name in Area 52 spells out the notes 'Re' 'Mi' 'Do' 'Do' 'So' in the solfege scale. This is a reference to the musical theme used in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kindto communicate with the aliens which have landed on Earth.
• Area 52 and the X2 rocket also periodically get attacked by Negatron, a reference to Megatron from the Transformers series.
