Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. V

[The Nexus of Man]

"Ah, yes. My pet projects; the PURELIGHT drones. All white and red; the symbol of pathological purity.

The Conundrum is a quirky design of mine. He is bulky but strong, with a built in cannon on his left arm, and a machine gun on his right. PURELIGHT deploys this guy when they need to clear a hive, breeding ground, or enemy location without suffering human losses.

Next is the Corona. He flies by using two miniature VTOL engines and exhausts, while not flying away by having changeable weights. Corona's weapons are his blade-fingers, grenade launchers on his head, and a small submachine gun on his chin. PURELIGHT uses Corona as a scout droid to probe locations.

Finally, my best design for PURELIGHT. I named him Aluino, after me of course. This guy? Whew, is he a killer. I studied the spider-drone designs of the Mechanocracy, but I applied VTOL engines from the Corona droid to get rid off the bulky legs that were originally planned. As said, Aluino moves by a pair of lightly-powered VTOL engines, aiding the 6 legs from collapsing due to their thin structure. Aluino's weapons are two handblades, two rocket launchers, four submachineguns, one machine gun, and one shotgun."

[Californiae]

"Our empire stretches from sea to shining sea. We span a continent and well over a thousand islands, in our domain there lives very nearly a half a billion people. Our might is measured in terms of wealth so great that there are states richer than entire countries, and our standard of living is the world's standard. Our medical science is the most advanced on the planet, our infrastructure is among the most advanced in the world and our industry is dwarfs the pathetic ventures of other lesser nations. We rule ourselves and call no man masters, we suffer no king in our lands and we will refuse to see one be suffered elsewhere. We, we are the Federated States of California and we are the greatest nation on this earth." - part of the inauguration speech of frmr president Julia Sanchez, 2008

"Shut up, Gil!"

[Amerikians]

"Infiltration into the American school system by Communist agents is unlikely. I'm more concerned with the idea of ideo-religious extremists."

"I... Yes sir, I'll see to it that the project is revised."

"Good, because as much as I hate Ivan and the Chinese, there are far more relevant and nearly invisible threats out there." - part of a conversation between a U.S Army General and and an egghead at a Nevada Scientific Research Facility, 2030.

"So apparently you're not alien enough."

"I did not realize that there was a gradient on being alien."

"Funny thing is neither did I." - a conversation, 2202

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

"Everything organic we know of is simply machinery, in one form or another. Tendons replace pistons; flesh in the place of steel; blood is simply biological coolant. To deny this and shun it is more than just ignorance of biology, it is idiocy."
-Garios

[Felucian Planetary Republic]

"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them bleed deeper, than something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever"
- "Ultimate Warrior" during a speech, one day before his death. (Born James Brian Hellwig; June 16, 1959 - April 8, 2014)

"To learn what thyself is... Like a dog realizing it is a dog and nothing but... It's more difficult then one thinks it should be."

"Went planetside today, studying the new natives, they have tentacles now in addition to hands, also am sad to say that the apes are not dead yet. They're rather different however, pale, large eyes, they have not seen light in several generations at least. They appear to live only underground, the surface people, I hesitate to use the word, fear them greatly, found myself breaking the cardinal rule and helping the surface people. Learning the languages of the little people, that's it for this log." - Notes of Field Scribe Gaius Domitius

[Las Palmeras]

"Political Correctness is something strange in Las Palmeras. Common etiquette would leave all people to be referred to as such. Cultural differentiation is generalized in an infantile way to the point it's simple. Race and Gender aren't exempt; and humor here is occasionally dark. Some of it self-deprecating or tingling in schadenfreude. Unlike the rest of Latin America, not even religion goes unscathed and making jokes about God being an absentee is a Palmeran specialty. A colonial past to a tender people does that I guess. Laughing at what is seen as inevitable misery of a flawed existence is seen as an appropriate way of coping, because crying too much won't do anything either.
...
Us... We gotta reputation for having sensitive hearts and refined speech... 'Cause, ya know, that's what we're all about! "

"In hierarchies, showing respect is necessary to move up the social ladder or maintaining your place for continued interpersonal benefits. The sea shells indicate how many times you must squat before your betters, it's a basic pillar of interaction with the better-off people. If society doesn't have color differentiation of sea shells hanging out of pants, it has no purpose!"
-A medicine man

"The Palmerans would be fine with that. Eeeh, stereo-stereo...stereo-typically stereotyping. Most people are perfectly normal and nice. Sometimes I get stingy stares. My mother-in-law told me directly. So did my husband. And even some news reports I remember or travel shows. If they were in another country; they'd expect to be treated differently in a way that doesn't really assure anything good. And many people feel that foreigners would feel the same in Las Palmeras. So, it's dished out equally in some cases. Especially in TV!"
-Tomoko Zorilla

"Why are you here? Didn't you side with the madman, Perrick!?"

"A very long time ago on a muddy field in northern Spain, I promised that I would always follow you, my captain, my comrade, my friend. I am here because I made a promise, and I am a man of my word." - part of a conversation between Roland Karling and Perrick de Vaumartin, 2006 AD

"From house to village we will carry out a massacre, slaughter the communists, murder the terrorists, anyone resisting gets impaled on a stake.

Hatred isn't some kind of anger. Hate is what you get when you blend pain and confusion. Hate is what you feel when you're cut over and over and over again and you don't know why.—LittleBoyBlue, forumgoer.

[Interstellar America]

"This is the U.S.S Pillar of Fire, broadcasting on all frequencies known to be used by the United States Navy and Global Defense Spatial Force, twelve hours ago standard galactic time we received a distress call from U.S.S. Carpathia in the Nubia Cluster, upon investigation into the call we recovered several lifepods and observed the wreckage of the Carpathia, evidently blasted apart by some sort of solitary beam weapon. Due to the size of the Carpathia, a Titan-class heavy cruiser we forward this log in our report, we are concerned over the technological prowess of whomever or whatever it is that assaulted the Carpathia. Pillar of Fire out." - Audio Log of the U.S.S Pillar of Fire, 2189

"SOS. SOS. This is the Imperial Void Ship Hammer of Terra, we are under attack and going down. I repeat, we are under attack. The enemy is unknown, and they possess voidship-grade directed energy weapons. All Imperial ships receiving, please send retrieval ships. We have suffered a reactor leak and are going down. All crew, head for escape pods. Oh shit, they're firing. BRACE FOR IMPA-"

*sounds of repeated explosions*

"This is IVS Hammer of Terra. The fusion reactor is going critical and we have four torpedoes about to detonate in ammo storage. We are going down with all hands. Over and out."

~Last broadcast of IVS Hammer of Terra, 2434. The ship was approaching three centuries of age at the time of its destruction, and was due for decommissioning within the year. It was running patrol missions in secure Imperial space, and its destroyers are still unknown.

[Tellus Mater]

"Saw a homosapien-sapiens today, not one of the new ones or the pale ones, a geninue homosapien-sapiens, looked to be chronologically from their nineteenth century or so, best described as... A paradox. Arrived in some sort of contraption, ran scans of the contraption, ivory, brass, a lot of quartz, pale apes later took the device off some where, not getting involved this time, let this travler sort it out on his own, might create a paradox of my own otherwise." - Notes of Field Scribe Gaius Domitius
