    They already did one pass on the dictionary for the offensive stuff, so this stuff already cleared that without being pulled.

  • (Celestine): Marco says, "I assume that entering in to a cosmpiercer zone controled by scatterhome is not, necessarily going to be a good idea?"


    (Celestine): Urid says, "Stay away from the centre of the area, where the piercer itself is, to be sure."


    (Celestine): Marco says, "Not all that good with charts so I'm hoping my autopilot will take me pretty much out of harms way."

    On behalf of Shen-players system-wide, I'm offended by the insinuation that there is anything at all creepy about having tentacles.

  • Deathsights that crack me up:

    (Aurazi): Ata says, "Oh! Tentacles!"
    (Aurazi): You say, "Hmmm?"

    Ata Aurazi has been brutally slain by a tentacle-limbed shapeshifter.

    (Aurazi): You say, "Hmmm."

    (Celestine): Pluti says, "Pluti find unused prophylactic Krona corpse. Who want this?"
    (Celestine): You say, "Uh."
    (Celestine): You say, "Thank you, Pluti."
    (Celestine): Zarouc says, "I believe the etiquette is to leave it there."

    Pluti has been brutally slain by a Krona poacher.

    (Celestine): You say, "I am not particularly sure that Krona was dead."

  • Quoted with permission:

    (Celestine): Ren says, "As well as improving well being of the down on their luck and the impoverished, let us not forget that!"
    (Celestine): You say, "Ah yes. Of course."
    (Celestine): You say, "The plight of the poor remains a vital priority for the Guardian Council."

    Zah says this with a straight face.

    (Celestine): Viola says, "Second only to the unceasing advancement of the Angel's Revolution throughout the sector."

    Viola is, likewise, straight-faced.

    You take a drink from an elegant wine glass filled with fermented vuu honey.
    The sweet taste of honey rolls over your tongue, leaving a sparkling effervescence.

    Viola takes a long drag of a half-smoked joint of leesa skins, inhaling fragrant lavender smoke into her lungs.
    The last few millimeters of a half-smoked joint of leesa skins sizzle into embers and ash, and Viola discards the smoldering stub.

    You say, "It is good to be on top."

    After news post public 157, Tiase decides to poke fun at the head scientist. He was as usual was having drinks in  bar when this happened over his drinking session. 
    ---------------------------------------
    @Ata tells you, "Oh! Hello! Project Conqueror does not exist. Project Kithflower does!"
    You tell Ata, "Ohh...did'tno...I did not know nanites. just one could write so well."
    Ata tells you, "With the adequate personality module, even a single nanite is capable of engaging in politics! In fact, I've met many a politician who'd be better off a nanite!"
    You laughingly tell Ata, "Magic tech."
    You tell Ata, "Lik'wha'...like what the empyreal ...the elder races left behind?"
    Ata tells you, "Yes! Yes, I suppose Kith-tech can, on occasion, be indistinguishable from magic. But you know, the - ehrm- impossible and the possible are, yes. Quite. Elders. Kith. Omega. SUCH poise! Such science!"
    You drolly tell Ata, "That is a lot of information to pack onto a single nanite Mister! Can you make one like a pet bug?"
    You tell Ata, "It'b like...MAGIC.
    Ata tells you, "Now, if that were to be the case, then it may as well be called a robot, not a nanite, don't you suppose?"
    You tell Ata, ""With the adequate personality module, even a single nanite is capable of engaging in."
    You tell Ata, "Lik'dat. One nanit' lik'a bug. Wit'a person-nal-lit-tee modul. 'engaging in politics' That's y'rword...that is your words not mine."
    Ata tells you, "I am beginning to SUSPECT, Mr. Tiase, that you are a nanite."
    Ata tells you, "Perhaps the same wayward nanite who LEAKED - ehrm - fabricated our plans... Were you once known as Xinu by your master?"
    You tell Ata, "Bu'HWAT? Who'b Zinu? Ah'aint no nanite. Ah'b Tiase, Cute and sexy. Ah'm juz settl'd in scatt'rhome. Ah'fly, Ah'hunt ahnd ah'no'how't'hav'a'gud time!. dat'llb'all."
    Ata tells you, "Cute? Sexy? Hmm... Why... Those are TWO out of the THREE defining characteristics of a nanite, Mr. Tiase. But I think your speech synthesis algorithm is getting screwier. Unless it has been tuned to Scatterspeech by a hyperventilating Tukkav, of course. That might explain it."
    Ata tells you, "And yet, the Y'saari records seem to indicate that you are, indeed, a proper wetwired spacer. Yet you do not appear to be lawless. Would you be interested in filling out a consent form for the advancement of kith research?" 
    You chortles like a rusty engine as he tell Ata, "Ah'm from wha'chu wou'd call "Podun' town, in deser'ted space. T'aint hardly gots no visitors" We'll speec' lik'dat bac'home. No'thankye mister. Nosiree."
    Ata tells you, "Well, if you change your mind, please let me know. There are other ways to
    contribute! Steal someone's junk and get them to place a bounty on you, for instance, and I shall be 
    able to come forthwith to study! No consent form required!"
    You tell Ata, "Ah'thun' Mister Ata, Y'r perr-son'nal-lit-tee mod'dul'ue...migh' need'a tune up."
    Ata tells you, "Yes, yes, I suppose I ought to get it inspec--. Wait. WHAT NANO-TRICKERY IS THIS?!"
    You drawls in a laconic tone as he tell Ata, "Ah'b slo'ish, no'stupid. Ah'b fr'm podunk, ahnd tha'wuz a logical guess."
    You tell Ata, "Ar'all youse ov'r ther' nanit's?  T'aint no'trickeree...jus'podun'c logic.
    Ata tells you, "Oh, we. Yes. Most of us are nanites, obviously. But then there is me. I am DOCTOR
    Aurazi. DOCTOR. Ata. Aurazi. I DIDN'T publish the greatest thesis ever written on kith-gravitic void 
    perturbations simply to be called MISTER. Take note. You may wish to enter that into your - ehrm - 
    Podunc heuristics."

    -- Rahn Dee, the Savage (#28986) ---------------------------------------------
    Race: Krona Gender: Male
    Affiliation: Unknown Status: Healthy
    Description: Larger than average for a full grown Krona male, this dark-skinned man has bulging biceps and a very intense expression on his face, visible despite the opaque, wraparound shades he wears. An uncivilized tangle of hair falls around his savage features. The tusks jutting from his jaw are banded in a copper-hued metal. He wears a ripped, distressed tshirt on his torso emblazoned with the logo of the Omni Station Fighting Rings. On his lower arms, he wears a pair of extraordinarily baggy pants that are covered in buckles and straps. His lower hands wear simple, grippy rubber gloveshoes.
    Strength: You estimate that he is laughably weak.
