–I can't believe it, they're going to renew our contract _again_! Am I the only one offended by this? Aldrich, are you listening?
–Well, I can't say I'm overly thrilled about it either, captain.
–But why would they do such a thing?

Farewell, gaming headset. You've served me well for 10 years, listening to me curse, yell and make up my own dialogues with NPCs but in the end time caught up with you. Rest in peace, old companion.

–What is that smell, captain? Something tells me that it isn't the usual slow burn of your temper.
–It might as well be that too, doc, but no. It's Cadwell, or rather his attempts to launch his missile toads!
–Is smell indication he has succeeded?

–So, here's where we live. Is that a type B star? That's worrying; they don't last for longer than some 100 million years. Wait, are you out here scouting for a new home?
