“No one was listening.”
“Yeah, I know, no one was listening. That’s why I can make up anything I want.”

“If I have double advantage, I’m swinging from the chandelier. It won’t hurt… it just also won’t help.”

“He’s your friend – you explain him.”

“When I said I was willing to be involved in the blood sacrifices, this is not what I meant.”

“I don’t usually fondle peoples’ dongles unless they ask.”

“If there’s a cenobite in here, I’m throwing it off the ship.”
“…Cenobite.”
“Instead of…? Cinnabun?”
“Yeah.”
“If there’s a Cinnabun in here, I’m not throwing it off the ship.”

“Force makes you dumb.”

“It uses an element he refers to as ‘fool’s Khyber.'”
“That sounds more like us.”

“Oh, they’re not Force ghosts. They’re ghost-ghosts.”

“Of course, we’ve seriously scope-creeped from breaking into the Imperial database from some anonymous console on Coruscant to sneaking into the Imperial Palace and wandering around in the hopes that something interesting happens.”

“We’re buying burner ships now?”

“Look… the burner ship still has to leave the planet. That’s a requirement.”
“It’s not that hard to smuggle yourself off Coruscant.”
“It makes me uncomfortable when she says stuff like that.”

“I mean, we can get some pretty high-quality fake beards. Bring me a Wookiee.”

“Tycho, did you break the flashing lights?”
“No, I fixed it! Have Ghent walk back and forth through there a few times.”
“Is it only going to flash a light?”
“It should!”
“Is it only going to flash a light…?”

“Look, this thing only has three settings – safe, fire, and stun. And when you want it to fire full auto, something has to go.”

“‘Wait, why did we load the ship full of clowns?’ ‘Well, we were going to come in as a circus, but we decided that was stupid.’ ‘But why did we bring the clowns?'”
“Militia.”

“Is he really rebelling, or is he angry at his parents?”

“He was staring at my… garden.”
“You mean the green, smelly spot in your room?”
“It used to be that – I’ve been tending it.”
“It’s still a green, smelly spot.”

“Can we book a tour?”
“Oh god, do you know how badly that went the last time?”
“Well, yeah. But can we book a tour?”

“This is what adventures are like, kid. If you’re not willing to crap your pants…”

“Don’t forget you have +1 to Astrogate.”
“1d. +1d. Although it’s probably just +1.”

“I wouldn’t use the word ‘attack.’ We boarded hostilely, but we didn’t attack until they attacked us. They didn’t even stop to ask us what was going on.”

“I pointed a gun at a guy and he ran away.”
“It was a big gun.”
“Doesn’t change my statement.”

“I’m gonna go visit the non-Euclidean room.”

“We should upload her to a lifter droid.”
“No thank you.”
“But then you could evaluate things and stow them!”

“But you can’t think of a time when she was ever mentioned.”
“Because she was taking the pictures! Moms are never in the pictures.”

“‘I can see you from here,’ she repeats.”
“It’s coming from inside the house!”

“I hope you still have a brain when she’s done.”
“I don’t have one of those anyway.”
“I wasn’t gonna say anything.”

“You just contacted a piece of the living Force.”
“And it didn’t eat your brain!”
“I’m pretty sure it removed the filters…”

“Yeah, let’s go somewhere darker and quieter.”
“This room is pretty much pitch black.”
“Shit.”

“We are on fire tonight.”
“We ARE on fire tonight. If we keep rolling like this, it’s possibly going to be literal.”

“I mean, to be honest, whether we intended to or not, so far we’ve been acting as infiltration specialists.”
“We can neither confirm nor deny…”
“I think it’s Sarah’s fault.”

“I mean, we’ve tried to be infiltration specialists before, and it usually just involved smashing down a wall and screaming at people.”

“Watch out for the giant spiders, by the way! They seem to be friendly, but they’re… very large.”
“They are friendly! They’re part of the living Force.”
“They’re also very large.”

“Is there a Force power we can use to filter what comes out of his mouth?”
“The Force isn’t that strong.”

“Leaving the scene is key.”
“Hey, you do listen!”

“They’re not sentients. Chitter, chitter, wave, wave, mandible clack.”

“Why do YOU get to shoot people?”
“Perks of being a captain!”
“I thought we didn’t have ranks.”

“That, or we’re gonna get two AT-ATs and both try to stomp him in some kind of bastardized Riverdance…”

“Moonriders, Brennan, no backup planned. Arden: Brita and Robin. Huon and the archivists: Brita’s going to get the Trump from Dad or Caine, and I can loan you a card for Caine, Brita. Possibly Signy if she’s not on Moonrider duty. Klybesians and the Rebman heir: Celina, Merle, and Vere, maybe Jerod. Dad’s suite: Folly and Hannah. Klybesian rutter: Ossian, maybe Jerod. Diplomat duty and research: Garrett. Parisian ladies: Folly, after Dad’s suite. Gerard: Solange. At the moment, no firm decision: Raven, Fletcher, and Ambrose, with the zombies being the big item left. And Conner finding the sapphire, but he’ll need a team for that and … are you going to deal with the Rebman heir for now, Conner?

“And Edan and I have to report to Dad, after which we’ll figure it out, but my first stop is Rebma to pick up Lark and wherever I go I’m going to have the universe’s most dangerously precocious child, at least as far as children who’ve grown to that age without sorcerous help.”

“I don’t think you understand, Highness. ‘No firm decision’ makes it sound like I can’t make up my damn mind.

“I’ve made up my damn mind. All of this – all of it – is a threat to the safety of the realm. But in that whole bloody list… ain’t a whole lot of it I’ve been pulled after as hard as some other folks. Seen a bit of the Klybesians. Seen a bit of the zombies, but I kind of feel like that’s not a going concern – if I had to guess, the zombies that were elsewhere were coming from whichever one of the bloody Triumvirate it was that Weyland entombed, some sort of trade network or some shit. She was creating enough of them, from what they were sayin’ in Gateway, even before we took care of Dexamene. Supply’s been cut off there; sure, there’s probably plenty out there, and who knows for how long, but… who wants to bet money on the Klybesians havin’ them?

“Anyway. I’m a city kid and a sailor; ain’t gonna be a lot of use in Arden, but I’ll give it a shot if I’m asked to. This whole ‘Rebman heir’ thing… I dunno. Seems like it’s Rebma’s concern, and that’s the Rebman folks’ concern –

“Huh. Possibly-my-da’s beholden to that throne, and Ma’s got something going on that way, which I really need to corner the uncle on the other side that I didn’t fucking know about and ask some questions there. Wonder how much of Rebma’s gonna end up my problem eventually?

“Right. Shelving that for now.

“Moonriders… well, aside from Conner choosing to try and get himself killed five minutes after we’d had the discussion about whether he’s actually my father or not – which is a conversation I’m saving for when we’ve had a chance to talk to Princess Fiona and it’s proven one way or t’other – and a potful of legend… I don’t have much.

“Point is… I don’t know a whole hell of a lot here still, or at least it feels like it. And the one thing I really want to chase is mostly off the table for now, sounds like, but it’s a thing I mean to follow up with on later when there’s less people around determined that there’s no point in going home. Without that on tap… again – all these things are in some way a threat to the realm. I’ve a sworn duty to protect the realm, and that’s what I mean to do, even if I don’t have the strong pull towards any one thing that others have.

“But somebody’s got to either toss me a line or order me onto a deck here.”

“You know, character points are supposed to add another die, not add… 1.”

“I have a very important question for you guys. What were we doing last time?”

“I want a tractor beam now so I can have telekinesis too.”

“What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know.”
“That’s why you’re the first mate and not the captain.”
“Not get arrested.”
“That’s why you’re my first mate…”

“There’s something in this plan for everyone to hate!”

“Why are we licking the bacta?”

“Nothing protects your friends like being able to drop and give me 20!”

“The more you know, the less likely you are to rearrange their organs inappropriately.”
“Uh, I’m against that…”
“I don’t want my organs rerranged at all…”

“I feel like my pancreas is in the wrong spot.”
“That’s because your liver has grown and pushed it out of its spot.”

“‘I want you to get back up and on the battlefield!’ ‘I don’t have any legs!’ ‘I don’t care!'”

“And that’s why you put all the dice with the 6 up.”

“So you’re lying to them.”
“No.”
“You’re saying what you think they want to hear.”
“Yep. Totally not lying at all.”

“I have a theory.”
“Theorize while we drive.”

“I’m not used to randomly being set on fire in my cabin!”
“But now you will be!”
