Quotes[]

Oh my god. Do you have to be such a complete jerk all the time?

-- Hazard

I don't actually remember, but apparently, yes.

-- Artisan

I am RAVENROK. You bear my sign.

-- Ravenrok

We have been worried sick, young lady! Where have you been?!

-- Tank

I'd explain to you how that works, but it's highly classified alien technology, so then I'd have to kill you. I'm kidding, of course. I'm much too high a rank to kill you myself. I'd get one of these guys to do it.

-- Colonel Jamie Capshaw

This is a star-sized bullet aimed right at the heart of the Solar System. We let it hit us, and you can kiss all your favorite Greek mythology-named planets goodbye.

-- Colonel Jamie Capshaw

There is, of course, the possibility that this isn't a naturally-occurring piece of giant space debris, and an intelligence is actually operating this thing. That's where you military training comes in. Persuade whoever's driving to turn this thing around, or, failing that, to borrow a technical term...

-- Colonel Jamie Capshaw

...murder the crap out of them.

-- Hazard

I got here first! Not you!

-- Scion

Dude! You can't call cosmic dibs! That's not a thing!

-- Hazard

Instinct, inspiring creativity. Married to reason. Channeled by discipline. By themselves, mere aspects. But together--we are how nothing becomes something. We are what makes the universe.

-- Beacon

We are... PSI-LORDS!

-- Psi-Lords

Tell me, godlings, when you woke up this morning...did you know that today was the day you were going to die?
