Comment (by sluicebox):

 This is my first time dealing with the base36 resource names or sync data
 so I'm going slow but here's what I've found so far...

 There are 8 sync36 resources for this scene but they all exist as patch
 files in the AUD dir on the CD. There are none in the resource volume
 files for this module. SCI Viewer can see the resources in the patch files
 and I probably just didn't have the patch files in the right place for SCI
 Companion to find or maybe it doesn't know that patch file name format.

 The sync36 resources are only for Gabriel's messages, which makes sense
 since Grace is facing away, though the side of her mouth does animate. One
 exception: there's no sync resource for Gabriel's first message, sequence
 2, which is just "Yes". Sierra's interpreter doesn't animate his mouth for
 this line. So there is indeed one missing resource from the game and we
 can rule out Sierra's interpreter falling back on default animation.

 So ScummVM isn't finding Gabriel's sync data that is there and not
 animating him and it's logging warnings about Grace's sync resource not
 being there, which there shouldn't be, but animating her anyway.

 Another wrinkle, the alternate ending where Gabriel dies has Mosely in his
 place. There are no sync resources for his lines, though it seems like
 there should be, but his mouth is still animating in ScummvM and Sierra's
 interpreter. ScummVM logs that the sync resources are missing for this
 too.
