SLA Quotes

[Dog Pants]

The GM's guide I'm writing already has a few nice quotes direct or paraphrased from previous characters, but not nearly enough. You guys must have some from our BPNs though. Post any good ones and I'll put them in the book and make your character famous!

[Grimmie]

Ones we actually made, or make some up that fit our characters?

[Dog Pants]

Either, I'm not fussy. As long as they look good in the book.

[Dog Pants]

Okay, a starter for 10 to demonstrate;

It’s not fucking right man! We’ve a termination warrant for this guy, and he’s doing the same job as us. Every time he kills it’s one less monster on the street. If we kill him we might as well be pulling the trigger on all those missing kids. He’s not a serial killer, he’s a fucking hero. Christ, three BPNs ago they stopped us killing that psycho because she’d look good on the Contract Circuit. It’s fucking bullshit man, I hate this job.

Shut up Folly for chrissake, I’m not having your mouth getting us in the shit again. Just do your job and track the guy so we can get paid.

Interdermalising must really chafe. Ebons are weird.

We’re weird? We’re not the ones who have to buy lips.

A Sarge class powersuit is a dangerous opponent, but with the correct application of horse and tactics can be dealt with asymmetrically – that is for maximum result disproportionate to the minimum risk to the attacker. In this case I aimed for the hydraulic supply joint in the suit’s neck, which lines up nicely at ground level with the pilot’s head. She never saw it coming. Maximum result, minimum risk.
Of course I deliberately aimed for it. I didn’t actually expect to hit it though. Sometimes you just have to rely on luck.

What ya be wantin’ ‘round ‘ere, company mon? There no needin’ ya to go botherin’ about dat now, we take care o’ tings whidout de likes o’ yous. Now run along, ‘fore ya gets ‘urt.

Aaaah, listen it was a mistake! The guy was looking down a rifle sight at us so we shot him up. Who wouldn’t? How were we to know he was a Cloak Division observer? He should have bought himself some binoculars to avoid confusion. Anyhow, he’s got a LAD account so it’s no big deal, right?
What do you mean you can’t re-attach his head? Oh.

[The Shutting Downs]

So, did you find out what happened to that squad?

What Squad?

[The Shutting Downs]

Who the fuck do you think you are talking to those subversives? You are not here as a negotiator, we have professionals for that. You are here to lead an assault squad into that building, where you can negotiate with them BY FUCKING SHOOTING THEM! Now get your squad into that goddamn building and clear it.

You know you look very pretty when you're flushed and angry like that.

Listen, I asked for a full brief when I got here and you didn't deliver. Our job is to resolve this situation, and I'll use whatever tools are at my disposal.

So then, we've got a job to do and you need to start pulling your weight. Patch me through to the negotiation team immediately - I will converse with them whilst I find the rest of the squad.

You're wearing my patience thin, Gently. I'm not patching you to a goddamn thing, and if you don't do what I tell you to right now I'm docking your SCL. The rest of your squad are in the lobby preparing their assault. I suggest you catch up to them there.

Fine, if you're adamant then we'll discuss this over a candle lit supper this evening.

[Dog Pants]

Good call.

Found another in the depths of my document;

Man, I hate KPS. Okay, I punch a reporter a bit an' everyone gets pissed at me, so KPS cancel their sponsorship deal. Which is shitty to begin with 'cos now I have to do a BPN a week to pay off my loan, but what makes things worse is I can't afford to respray my armour an' so I leave their logo on my shoulder. Next thing I know some asshole lawyer is ringin' me and tellin' me KPS are gonna sue me for copyright infringement! 'Cos I'm wearing their fuckin' logo!

[Roman Totale]

Not an exact quote, but:

Where is you squad leader?

He's off visiting his mother

His mother? But he's a stormer!

It's complicated

[Dog Pants]

Haha, yes. Gerald and his mother

[Dog Pants]

Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization. The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Tas-Tuo, chamber music, Captain Contract. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.

*a Carriens with a beanie cap acts goofy nearby*

You take a look at this fellow here.

*The Advanced Carriens shoots the goofy Carriens in the head. The other Carriens laugh*

Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been to Mort before. There are the Uptown shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we've been turned down in the past.
