+I am afraid Fwiffo is no longer with the living.
+
+#(POOR_FWIFFO)	spaho000.ogg
+Somehow, Captain, we are not surprised.
+
+#(fwiffo_fine)
+What Fwiffo? Oh, he's fine, just great. Really! Doing swell.
+
+#(NOT_LIKELY)	spaho001.ogg
+Well then, surely you would have no trouble letting Fwiffo approach the viewscreen for a little chat
+would you, Captain?
+We thought not.
+
+#(we_attack_again)
+Our new course of action involves combat.
+
+#(WE_FIGHT_AGAIN)	spaho002.ogg
+New? New!? This is not a new thing. Your violent ways are, as they say in your language, as old as the hats.
+
+#(bye_no_ally_offer)
+We must go, but we shall return soon.
+
+#(GOODBYE_NO_ALLY_OFFER)	spaho003.ogg
+Please don't hurry on our account.
+
+#(bye_angry_spathi)
+I can tell you are upset, and so we shall leave.
+
+#(GOODBYE_ANGRY_SPATHI)	spaho004.ogg
+Suddenly we grow less upset.
+
+#(why_dont_you_do_it)
+Why don't you do it?
+
+#(WE_WONT_BECAUSE)	spaho005.ogg
+Two reasons.
+Firstly, we have an unreasoning fear that the Evil Ones will devour us all painfully.
+Secondly, in the rare cases where we have overcome our fear, and ventured to Spathiwa's surface
+the Spathi who landed were all devoured painfully.
+
+#(MEAN_GUYS_RETURN)	spaho006.ogg
+Look, look everyone! It's the violent creature from Earth.
+I wonder how many of our encrustlings it wants to devour today?
+
+#(we_apologize)
+We regret our past deeds, so why dwell on the past? Let's look forward to a bright new future, together!
+
+#(DONT_BELIEVE)	spaho007.ogg
+I am probably just an old stick-in-the-mud, Captain, but I just can't let go of the idea
+that this is all part of some devious trick of yours to torture and kill my species.
+
+#(HELLO_AGAIN)	spaho008.ogg
+We did not expect to see you again so soon, Hunam!
+Our prognosticators had indicated that you would not return for at least 30 years
+and now I fear, they will lose their tenure as a consequence.
+How sad. I expect each had thousands of encrustlings to feed who will now go hungry.
+Here's an idea! Leave now and do not return until the appointed time.
+This premature visit shall remain our little secret, eh?
+
+#(HATE_YOU_FOREVER)	spaho009.ogg
+We, the High Ruling Council of Spathiwa have just passed a new law.
+Your continued existence is now a crime!
+With the authority of justice, we attack!
+
+#(WHAT_IS_PASSWORD)	spaho010.ogg
+What is the Secret Cypher?
+
+#(WHAT_IS_PASSWORD_AGAIN)	spaho011.ogg
+We'll give you just one more chance.

+Attention aliens: I am

+
+#(good_password)

+#(WRONG_PASSWORD)	spaho012.ogg
+You do not know the Secret Cypher!
+Therefore, you must be an evil, dangerous alien invader
+intent on killing all of us in some horrible fashion!
+We have every right to prevent this.
+
+#(NO_PASSWORD)	spaho013.ogg
+You have tried to trick us with a clever deception
+however, we are ever wary and have uncovered your evil scheme!
+While we abhor violence, we have found that under circumstances like this
+the best course of action is to attack suddenly with overwhelming force.
+Like so.
+
+#(what_do_i_get)
+Once I've given you the Cypher, what do I get?
+
+#(YOU_GET_TO_LIVE)	spaho014.ogg
+You get to live a bit longer.
+
+#(YES_GOOD_PASSWORD)	spaho015.ogg
+We are The Safe Ones -- the Spathi High Council.
+You have given us the correct Cypher and so you will not be destroyed immediately.
+Now, if you please, tell us how you acquired our most Secret Spathi Cypher
+which every Spathi swears never, never to reveal
+even when threatened with considerable pain.
+
+#(spathi_on_pluto)
+We met a Spathi on Pluto... uh, we became good friends!
+
+#(WHERE_SPATHI)	spaho016.ogg
+And just where is this Spathi `friend' now?
+Never mind -- the answer is all too obvious in your tiny, dry eyes.
+
+#(hostage)
+We have Fwiffo on board. He can vouch for our good intentions!
+
+#(GUN_TO_HEAD)	spaho017.ogg
+If you held a weapon to Fwiffo's head, he would say anything you wanted him to say.
+In fact, if you held a vegetable to his head
+he would probably say anything you wanted him to say.
+
+#(we_come_in_peace)
+We come in peace, and with good will.
+
+#(OF_COURSE)	spaho018.ogg
+No doubt.
+
+#(KILLED_SPATHI)	spaho019.ogg
+No, you ARRIVED in peace.
+You CAME in a somewhat more violent manner
+as indicated by this report from the Spathi patrol vessel you attacked.
+
+#(misunderstanding)
+Uh, that was just kind of a misunderstanding.
+
+#(JUST_MISUNDERSTANDING)	spaho020.ogg
+Of course Captain, we realize that misunderstandings happen... occasionally.
+Let us just hope that no similar `misunderstanding' causes us to open fire on you
+with our planetary defense batteries.
+
+#(give_us_resources)
+As a gesture of good will, could you spare some mineral resources?
+
+#(NO_RESOURCES)	spaho021.ogg
+No.

+#(bye_ally)
+Goodbye Council members.
+
+#(GOODBYE_ALLY)	spaho023.ogg
+Goodbye hunam.
+
+#(what_about_hierarchy)
+What can you tell me about the Ur-Quan Hierarchy?
+
+#(what_about_history)
+What do you know about ancient history?
+
+#(what_about_alliance)
+Do you know anything about the old Alliance races?
+
+#(what_about_other)
+Are you aware of any other alien cultures?
+
+#(what_about_precursors)
+Do you have any information on the Precursors?
+
+#(enough_info)
+That's enough info for now.
+
+#(OK_ENOUGH_INFO)	spaho024.ogg
+Good. I don't feel much like talking about that anyway.
+
+#(ABOUT_HIERARCHY)	spaho025.ogg
+Since we never wanted to be in the Hierarchy, and we're afraid of all the other members
+our knowledge on this subject is a bit limited, but I'll tell you what I know.
+The Hierarchy is the construct of the Ur-Quan. It exists to maintain their supreme authority
+over all sentient lifeforms in the galaxy.
+As far as we know, there are 6 other races active in the Hierarchy, including:
+the gelatinous Umgah pranksters,
+the multi-legged, super-violent Ilwrath who are fanatical in their worship of Dogar and Kazon,
+the Thraddash - a weak and obnoxious race from the Draconis group of stars,
+the humanoid clones you call Androsynth, though they have been strangely absent for some years,
+the vain VUX, commanded by the brilliant and eccentric general ZEX,
+and the mysterious Mycon, who ramble endlessly about people, places and events from long ago
+as though they happened just today.
+If there are other Hierarchy races, we are not aware of them.
+
+#(ABOUT_HISTORY)	spaho026.ogg
+Before the Evil Ones appeared, we Spathi were a simple folk
+we were content with our calm lives, our rude huts
+and our coarse-woven turtle-neck sweaters.
+I suppose we could have remained that way for eons
+were it not for the sudden arrival of a million voracious monsters from hell!
+We have never quite figured out where they, the Evil Ones, came from.
+The few specimens we collected, who had mostly died of tooth decay from eating sweet Spathi flesh
+were physiologically unlike any other species from Spathiwa.
+It was as though they had arrived suddenly on the surface of our planet
+transported there by some unknown agency... but that is nonsense
+who could be so cruel?!
+
+#(ABOUT_ALLIANCE)	spaho027.ogg
+You mean the one we helped demolish? That one?
+Well, we had some contact with Alliance members before the Ur-Quan showed up.
+Mostly with the Chenjesu, who stopped off here occasionally
+when they were on their way to explore the galactic core.
+Actually, their last visit was interesting. They were returning from the Tucanae Star systems
+Where they said they had found a new alien race called the Fop-Dope-Bic...or something like that.
+The only other race we ever dealt with was the Mmrnmhrm who once tried to colonize Beta Herculis
+which we considered within our sphere of influence.
+When we explained this to the Mmrnmhrm, they politely withdrew from the contested star system
+and never bothered us again.
+
+#(ABOUT_OTHER)	spaho028.ogg
+Since we tend to stay close to home -- preferably in the living room
+we know little about other races beyond our neighbors, such as the Umgah.
+Before being subjugated by the Ur-Quan, the Umgah were a contented and peaceable race
+who inhabited the region of stars which you call `Orionis'.
+They spent their time happily exploring and mining the nearby planetary systems
+and engaging in elaborate, and to our way of thinking, cruel practical jokes.
+One particularly nasty prank was the time they broadcast a trick message through space
+declaring the arrival of the 'Grand Master Planet Eaters' or some such nonsense.
+This caused several alien cultures to go mad with panic
+including, you might be surprised to know, ourselves.
+
+#(ABOUT_PRECURSORS)	spaho029.ogg
+Like all other races, we have found evidence of the Precursors scattered throughout our space.
+Our belief is that the Precursors are not really gone, they simply came to their senses one day
+and used their superior technology to invent some kind of perfect invisibility shield
+and remain alive and happy to this day. We hope to rediscover this secret someday
+and disappear into similar obscurity.
+One other thing
+We haven't been able to translate much of their writing, but we understand one fragment of text.
+It mentions a sequence of 10 artificial `waste disposal sites' they built somewhere around here.
+I suspect that even garbage from the Precursors would be of incredible value.
+
+#(little_mistake)
+Uh... sorry about that little mistake... we thought we had gotten all of those creatures.
+
+#(BIG_MISTAKE)	spaho030.ogg
+That was not a LITTLE mistake.
+A LITTLE mistake is leaving the top off the eye cream or forgetting to clean your lid in the morning.
+Now on the other hand, a BIG mistake might be, say
+telling your friends that a certain place is safe when in fact it is crawling with hideous, hungry beasts
+who want nothing more than to feast on soft, Spathi flesh!
+That's a BIG mistake.
+
+#(bye_before_party)
+We shall return after we have completed the quest.
+
+#(QUEST_AGAIN)	spaho031.ogg
+So... the hunam coward has returned.
+You know, if the Ur-Quan discover we have been fraternizing with you
+we're going to be in serious trouble.
+Perhaps it would be better if you just leave.
+Unless you're here to accept the quest, that is.
+
+#(GOODBYE_BEFORE_PARTY)	spaho032.ogg
+Unless you are killed and eaten, which is fairly likely.
+
+#(GOOD_START)	spaho033.ogg
+You have made a good start and are to be commended.
+Now go finish the job.
+
+#(something_fishy)
+Hey, are you up to something fishy?
+
+#(NOTHING_FISHY)	spaho034.ogg
+Fishy! Fishy? What is this fishy?
+No, nothing fishy here -- totally fishless.
+There, now that that's resolved
+is there anything else you would like to talk about, Captain?
+
+#(surrender)
+We demand an immediate surrender!
+
+#(NO_SURRENDER)	spaho035.ogg
+I'm sorry, I must have an embarrassing waxy build-up in my hearing hole.
+What did you say?
+
+#(surrender_or_die)
+If you won't surrender, we must destroy you.
+
+#(DEFEND_OURSELVES)	spaho036.ogg
+There ARE other options you know, but if you insist...
+
+#(hand_in_friendship)
+We offer our hand in friendship. Join us and our many allies.
+
+#(TOO_AFRAID)	spaho037.ogg
+We are too afraid of the Ur-Quan to consider such an alliance.
+They would most certainly punish us with extreme tortures.
+
+#(stronger)
+We're stronger than the Ur-Quan. You're better off with us.
+
+#(YOURE_NOT)	spaho038.ogg
+Hello! Hello! Awaken from your dreamy state Hunam!
+Now is the time for realism, not wild fancy!
+
+#(yes_we_are)
+Yes we ARE strong enough! Look at our Precursor vessel. Is it not unique?
+
+#(NO_YOURE_NOT)	spaho039.ogg
+Yes, your vessel is unique, and here is the crux of the problem.
+A `Unique', meaning singular, starship is not equal to the task of destroying the entire Ur-Quan armada.
+If you had, say, ten thousand similar starships, we could take your boasts more seriously.
+
+#(how_prove)
+Look, what do I have to do to prove this to you - destroy your entire star fleet?
+
+#(BETTER_IDEA)	spaho040.ogg
+Well, that would probably work
+but I have a better idea -- a test
+one of those questy kind of things.
+
+#(share_info)
+Would you be willing to share some information with us?
+
+#(NO_INFO)	spaho041.ogg
+No.
+
+#(WE_UNDERSTAND)	spaho042.ogg
+We understand.
+That's why we live on this inhospitable moon, instead of our nice, warm home planet.
+
+#(prove_strength)
+Ok, to prove our strength and bravery we will perform this test without even knowing what it is!
+
+#(YOUR_BEHAVIOR)	spaho043.ogg
+Your behavior makes clear the very slight distinction between bravery
+and suicidal stupidity.
+
+#(what_test)
+Well, what kind of test do you have in mind?
+
+#(BEFORE_ACCEPT)	spaho044.ogg
+Let us explain the sad history of our species.
+Once upon a time, many thousands of years ago
+we inhabited the warm, safe surface of our home planet, Spathiwa.
+We were happy and content. During those golden centuries, we evolved from a primitive nomadic culture
+into a complex, agrarian society. We learned to write on clay tablets
+and we were well on to being able to read those tablets
+when the Darkness fell upon us
+when the Evil Ones came!
+Creatures from the darkest pits of hell they were.
+They hunted our people -- devoured them like tasty nodules
+and we had no defense against them.
+Suddenly, our culture became once more nomadic.
+We fled across the oceans, from continent to continent, but the evil ones always followed.
+Spurred by our great need, we advanced from bronze to atomic technology in less than one of your centuries
+but none of our innovations was a match for the Evil Ones' natural cunning and ferocity.
+Finally, with no other option available, we fled our world and took up residence here on our own moon
+where we have resided, most uncomfortably, for the last three hundred years.
+
+#(WIPE_EVIL)	spaho045.ogg
+You must wipe the Evil Ones from the face of Spathiwa!
+
+#(think_more)
+Gee, I'd like to think about this some more before making any commitments.
+
+#(COWARD)	spaho046.ogg
+Don't feel bad about being a coward. It's natural.
+
+#(tell_evil)
+Tell me more about these Evil Ones.
+
+#(i_accept)
+Ok, I accept!  Start packing your bags, eyeball dudes, you'll be home in no time.
+
+#(AWAIT_RETURN)	spaho047.ogg
+We will await your return with great anticipation.
+Simultaneously, we will prepare a short, poignant eulogy to mourn your demise.
+
+#(talk_test)
+Can we talk about that test again?
+
+#(already_got_them)
+What a coincidence! It's your lucky day -- we just eliminated all of those guys!
+
+#(EARLY_BIRD_CHECK)	spaho048.ogg
+What?! Can this be a true fact and not a false lie?
+We will send an exploration team to investigate your claim.
+If what you have said is true, we shall be forever... er
+substantially in debt to you for a long, though unspecified, period of time.
+Goodbye.
+
+#(NOT_SURPRISED)	spaho049.ogg
+I'm not surprised. We certainly won't go there.
+Why should you be any less craven than ourselves?
+
+#(TEST_AGAIN)	spaho050.ogg
+You must wipe the Evil Ones from the face of Spathiwa!
+They are creatures from the darkest pits of hell
+whose relentless passion for our fleshy parts
+forced us to abandon our otherwise wonderful homeworld
+and take up unhappy residence on this cold, airless moon.
+
+#(too_dangerous)
+Nah, this sounds too dangerous.
+
+#(WE_AGREE)	spaho051.ogg
+You're right. It is. Don't even consider reconsidering.
+
+#(HOW_GO_EFFORTS)	spaho052.ogg
+How go your foolishly courageous and noble efforts to rid the Evil Ones from our beloved Spathiwa?
+
+#(killed_them_all_1)
+Although we lost many crew, we have eliminated the scourge.
+
+#(killed_them_all_2)
+We killed them all, yup we sure did.
+
+#(WILL_CHECK_1)	spaho053.ogg
+This is wonderful -- too good to be true!
+We will immediately begin transporting Spathi from this unpleasant moon down to the safe surface.
+We shall send encrustlings and the infirm elderly first, as a special honor!
+Please come back later to receive your accolades.
+
+#(WILL_CHECK_2)	spaho054.ogg
+Fool me once, shame on you.
+Fool me twice, shame on...er
+even MORE shame on you!
+You lied to us before
+but I suppose we'll check again.
+
+#(zapped_a_few)
+Well, we zapped a few of them, but some got away.
+
+#(RETURN_COMPLETE)	spaho055.ogg
+Return when you have completed the job.
+
+#(MUST_DESTROY_ALL)	spaho056.ogg
+You must destroy them all, and swiftly!
+They breed like Shofixti, and will replenish their numbers in days.
+
+#(no_landing)
+Well to be honest, we haven't even landed there yet.
+
+#(saw_creatures)
+We landed and saw the creatures but left right away.
+
+#(YOU_FORTUNATE)	spaho057.ogg
+You are fortunate to have survived
+but to complete the quest, and earn our friendship
+you must annihilate them all!
+
+#(YOU_LIED_1)	spaho058.ogg
+You failed us!
+There were creatures all over!
+They attacked the unsuspecting Spathi the second our ships unloaded and took off.
+The poor encrustlings were gobbled like popcorn!
+We can only conclude, that in your eagerness to return us to our world
+you neglected to eliminate ALL the Evil Ones from the surface.
+The job is incomplete until their presence is scoured from the surface of Spathiwa!
+
+#(YOU_LIED_2)	spaho059.ogg
+What kind of fools do you take us for?
+Your lying is pointless.
+From this day forward we are enemies forever!
+
+#(bye_from_party_1)
+Sure, I'd hate to spoil your party. See ya!
+
+#(bye_from_party_2)
+No sweat. We'll return later, when you have more time for us.
+
+#(bye_from_party_3)
+Hey, I can understand your excitement, so I'll just come back in a while.
+
+#(GOODBYE_FROM_PARTY)	spaho060.ogg
+Goodbye.
+
+#(MUST_PARTY_1)	spaho061.ogg
+Oh joy! Oh happiness! We rejoice and make merry in celebration of our imminent return to our homeworld.
+You are most heroic and helpful - thank you, thank you, thank you!
+But now I must return to our festivities.
+Please feel free to come back any time!
+
+#(MUST_PARTY_2)	spaho062.ogg
+Oh, you're back
+greeaat.
+Um... our celebrations are still going on, can you come back later?
+
+#(MUST_PARTY_3)	spaho063.ogg
+Oh, hello Hunam. Your arrival is timed most poorly.
+You called just when it was my turn at the Ja-ja pole
+and now I have to wait in line all over again.
+Do you think you could return at some point in the future?
+
+#(deals_a_deal)
+Hey! A deal's a deal! What about our alliance?
+
+#(WAIT_A_WHILE)	spaho064.ogg
+Why don't you just wait a while, until after we are resettled on our homeworld?
+We can discuss details at that time.
+
+#(how_long)
+How long do you expect this to take?
+
+#(TEN_YEARS)	spaho065.ogg
+Ten, fifteen years tops.
+
+#(reneging)
+Am I correct in understanding that you refuse to live up to your end of the bargain?
+
+#(ADULT_VIEW)	spaho066.ogg
+No, no, no!
+We are simply taking a more adult, `welcome to the real world' view of the situation.
+We cannot simply say, `Hurrah!' and form an alliance with you this very moment.
+Surely you see that?
+
+#(return_beasts)
+You know, those creatures aren't dead. We have them in suspended animation.  How would you like us to return them to the surface?
+
+#(WHAT_RELATIONSHIP)	spaho067.ogg
+NO!... er,... no... please!
+(sigh)
+exactly what kind of relationship were you thinking of?
+
+#(minds_and_might)
+A mutually beneficial alliance of minds and might.
+
+#(HUH)	spaho068.ogg
+Huh?
+
+#(fellowship)
+An egalitarian fellowship of sentient lifeforms.
+
+#(WHAT)	spaho069.ogg
+What?
+
+#(do_as_we_say)
+The kind where you do everything EXACTLY as we say.

+Oh, ok... we're quite familiar with that arrangement.
+Very well... I'll bet we will regret this decision later on, but you leave me with no choice.
+We will comply with your needs.
+A Spathi delegation will depart immediately for the planet Earth.
+
+#(HELLO_ALLIES_1)	spaho071.ogg
+Welcome back to Spathiwa, Captain.
+We hope the material we provided your starbase engineers was sufficient for your needs.
+
+#(HELLO_ALLIES_2)	spaho072.ogg
+What can we, the High Spathi Ruling Council, do for you?
+
+#(HELLO_ALLIES_3)	spaho073.ogg
+Hello Captain, what brings you here today?
+
+#(whats_up)
+Have there been any developments of significance?
+
+#(GENERAL_INFO_1)	spaho074.ogg
+Perhaps Captain. I will explain.
+We have been investigating the `Caster which we took away from the Umgah
+after the `Jud the Vug' scandal, 8 years ago.
+We have uncovered evidence of something strange going on between the Umgah and the Ilwrath over the past many years.
+We suspect that the Umgah were using the `Caster to pull off some kind of long-term joke on the Ilwrath
+but we are unable to glean any more details.
+
+#(GENERAL_INFO_2)	spaho075.ogg
+Yes, and the news is not good.
+As you know, Androsynth space borders our own, and while we never really liked the Androsynth
+it seemed that they weren't out to kill us as everyone else seems to be.
+Imagine our shock when we learned that they had been invaded and eaten by those fish-folk, the Orz!
+Well actually we don't know if the Orz ate anybody, but we're sure they did something creepy.
+I sure hope you're not considering an alliance with them, Captain, they are dangerous.
+
+#(GENERAL_INFO_3)	spaho076.ogg
+I guess we forgot to tell you this a while ago... sorry
+but we've been so busy lately, working on the shie-- er... preparations for returning to Spathiwa
+that I'm afraid it just slipped my mind.
+Okay, that's all.
+Hey, I gave you an apology!
+What more do you want?
+Oh, right! The thing I forgot.
+Yes, I remember now! It was something odd that happened to us when we first met the Ur-Quan.
+We sent out a ship to meet the oncoming Dreadnoughts
+we wanted to tell the Ur-Quan about the Evil Ones, so they could safely avoid our planet
+but when we got close, the Ur-Quan started blasting out this overwhelming signal
+`SENTIENT LIFE.  WE ARE THE UR-QUAN. INDEPENDENCE IS INTOLERABLE. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.' -- you get the idea
+anyway, in a moment of panicked genius, the Captain blurted out
+`Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?'
+To everyone's amazement, the Ur-Quan fleet stopped dead in space.
+The Ur-Quan fixed a tight communication beam on the ship
+and the creature spoke a long while and with great passion
+almost as though it were intoning a high ritual.
+The words he spoke were of planet-shaking significance!
+At least, we assume so. We can't be really sure, because all of the Spathi on board at the time
+were curled tightly in their shellcases, and couldn't hear very well.
+Maybe if you get the opportunity Captain, you can try to ask the question again.
+
+#(GENERAL_INFO_4)	spaho077.ogg
+Developments?! What developments!? Whatever are you talking about, Captain?
+Are you implying we are up to something -- that we have some kind of secret plan!?
+How wrong you are, Captain! Our feelings are injured by your unwarranted accusation.
+Apologies would be appropriate at this time.
+
+#(GENERAL_INFO_5)	spaho078.ogg
+No Captain, no news.
+
+#(like_some_info)
+Would you supply us with certain specific bits of information?
+
+#(WHAT_ABOUT)	spaho079.ogg
+Certainly, about what?
