[Las Palmeras]

"I'm don't consider myself as moralistic or puritanical. Secondary school just left a bad memory, being remembered as 'The girl whose parents had sex in the janitor's room during a late PTA meeting'. Though I did learn that multiple misdemeanors relating to that don't mount up and some time later I asked about love. From then on I began to suspect I was lovingly conceived in a park or a back alley, but life is full of accidents so I guess it can be one as well."
-Magda Zorilla Nagi, "Biography Report Project for Language Class" in 2029

[Even Less of Mackonia]

"With the repeated failure of statistical analysis to predict the future, and of systems complex enough to model a reality bleeding with information - the populace gradually resigned itself to the acceptance that our world is one of unfathomable, irrational chaos. And if a poll is really no different from augery of the morning birdsong in predictive power...why not get those pigeon intestines? The speed by which an ironic embrace of pre-Christian mystic esotericism by an intellectually sophisticated populace turned into a sincere guarantor of meaning in a demeaning world, within about a single generation, was disconcerting. "The Singularity" - the advance of technological change beyond the limits of human comprehension, was never about enlightenment, its a polite way of welcoming you to a new Dark Ages."

-Lauriem Excahvir, on Mackonian culture during the Agonocracy.

[Serenvia]

I do not stand for the mindless application of moralist and so called progressive policy in the government. Such policies are more often than not detrimental to the economic development and the cultural integrity of a nation. Rather, I approve of policy that bring out the best in people, a series of incentives and programs that nurture the potential of an individual.

The values of this nation is not progress for progress' sake, nor is it to uphold culture by establishing moral values and thus restricting and squandering the human spirit. The values that spurred this nation into being is a love for our heritage and nation, an unconditional respect for knowledge and the attainment of it, and understanding that the human spirit is something that is best understood to be complex and vibrant.

―Elizavetta Viserik, Leader of the Opposition and General Secretary of Party for Justice

[The Gamindustrian Union]

"The feeling of the Regulus as it skips a station, it feels as if Superman was passing through. Is it because it is allowed to operate at its top speed of 680 km/h? That is 40 more km/h than twice of the top operating speed of our bullet trains back home in Japan."

"That is the reason why. Because of this, it is known as the Superman train."

"But what if it cannot stop?"

"That is the least of your concerns, at it is auto-piloted from a command center at each station, based on a system depending on its stops. It also has a piloting system in the train, just in case."

"Sounds cool."

"That's the magic of Gamindustrian science. As of late, we are currently developing a train that can travel at 830 km/h. This we will call the Mercury. It will finish by 2021 at latest."

"Cool. I wanna invest on that."

"Sure thing, bidding just opened two months ago."

"By the way, what lines does the Regulus run?"

"Two lines: One on Hyperdimension and one on Ultradimension. And not just one train, but a reasonably sizeable fleet."

"I see."

There are three things that you must understand when entering these hallowed halls.

First, is that this temple has no place for the old gods.

Third, is that the beings shown in this temple are not gods.

Second, is that this temple is in praise of the potencies of man and his reason.

"One of many things that you will all note in this regiment is that I do not care about race. I do not care what class of Machine Race you are, or if you are organic. I do not care if you are white, black, yellow, brown or yellow and pink with a blue border. I do not care if you are atheist, agnostic, Jewish, Muslim, Christian or Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Until you prove yourselves to be beyond such petty name-calling and display the appropriate decorum befitting such a supreme species as Mankind, you are all worthless in equal measure."

~ General Elena Trotskaya, to a batch of recruits in the Eighth VDV Regiment.
