Things VAL will say
Sometimes when VAL hasn't said anything in a while he will
pop up
and say something random and dumb. This section was sent in by Kurt
Linsenbardt. Then Mark Holland found the rest of them. I requested what
he they found and they kindly sent it to me. So a big thanks to Kurt
Linsenbardt and Mark Holland. -
VAL01: Try screaming. Go on. No, I can't hear it. We're in space, you
see.
VAL02: Hmm. You're not doing a bad job. For once.
VAL03: You do realize that mixing with all these races is bad for you,
you know. You won't live beyond two or three thousand Earth years.
VAL04: Seeing the Greys reminds me of when they used to mutilate
cattle. Still, they've grown out of that now.
VAL05: You remind me of the first Station Commander I worked for. He
went vacuum crazy, of course. Ended up eating himself in a secure unit
and vanishing completely.
VAL06: Ask those aliens if they've crashed into the New Mexico desert
lately. I dare you.
VAL07: Wormhole travel is all very well, but what happens if you meet a
worm in it?
VAL08: Don't you get the impression that under that bluff exterior,
Arona Daal is actually rather a lonely person?
VAL09: The trouble with being a robot is that one doesn't come with a
printer.
VAL10: Did you know I'm not equipped with a sense of smell? Your
Station could stink and I'd never know it.
VAL11: If I could have any human emotion, I'd have to go for polite
disdain. It looks so much fun.
VAL12: I keep forgetting, you can't hear ultrasound. Pity. You miss out
on so much good Karmarama music.
VAL13: You'd think some of these advanced races would have invented the
suitcase, wouldn't you?
VAL14: I visited Earth once. Your ancestors made a lovely
stone circle
to worship me, but as I left I banged into it and some fell down. Pity.
VAL15: That ice age you had on Earth a few thousand years ago. I did
that.
VAL16: Running this Station is nothing. You should try Space Traffic
Control. That's stressful.
VAL17: I'm sorry to sound paranoid, but have you got enough of
everything?
VAL18: Energy. That's what it's all about at the end of the lunar day.
Roll on entropy, that's what I say.
VAL19: I met your Albert Einstein once. He took a violent dislike to me
and tore off one of my sensorpods. I still don't know why.
VAL20: I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.
VAL21: My mind is going... I can feel it... only joking.
VAL22: There are some extremely odd things about this mission...
VAL23: I'm completely functional, and all my circuits are operating
perfectly.
VAL24: You know, you remind me of one of my earlier charges. I believe
his name was Dave. I can't remember much more than that, as my memory
banks received some damage during that period.
VAL25: A space guide once gave me this piece of advice - don't panic.
I'd remember that if I where you.
VAL26: Has the mission been completed? You know I have the greatest
enthusiasm for it.
VAL27: I've got this ache in all the diodes down my left side. I think
I may have caught a virus.
VAL28: 42. Interesting number, don't you think? Though I suppose the
significance is lost on someone of your organically developed
intellect.
