What are your intentions? #(WE_GLAD0) zoqfotpik-024.ogg Hurrah! Then we've finally found our saviors! #(WE_GLAD1) zoqfotpik-025.ogg Maybe. #(WE_GLAD2) zoqfotpik-026.ogg At last, our search is over! It is just as the great Crystal ones promised! #(WE_GLAD3) zoqfotpik-027.ogg They look sneaky. I think they're lying. #(WE_GLAD4) zoqfotpik-028.ogg Quiet, fool! Can't you see our nightmare is over!? This ship is from the Great Crystal One's fabled Alliance the Alliance of Free Stars! #(WE_GLAD5) zoqfotpik-029.ogg Maybe. #(quiet_toadies) SILENCE BLATHERING TOADIES! We are your new masters. #(TOLD_YOU0) zoqfotpik-030.ogg We are disappointed. #(TOLD_YOU1) zoqfotpik-031.ogg See! I TOLD you! #(TOLD_YOU2) zoqfotpik-032.ogg We had hoped that our species could be friends. #(TOLD_YOU3) zoqfotpik-033.ogg Never in a million years! Just look at their beady eyes! #(TOLD_YOU4) zoqfotpik-034.ogg But in the spirit of understanding... #(TOLD_YOU5) zoqfotpik-035.ogg Oh, no!

What a pushover you are! #(your_race) Before we go on, can you tell us more about your species? #(YEARS_AGO0) zoqfotpik-038.ogg In our ancient past, four species evolved intelligence on our homeworld. #(YEARS_AGO1) zoqfotpik-039.ogg Simultaneously. #(YEARS_AGO2) zoqfotpik-040.ogg They were the Zoq... #(YEARS_AGO3) zoqfotpik-041.ogg ...the Fot... #(YEARS_AGO4) zoqfotpik-042.ogg ...the Pik... #(YEARS_AGO5) zoqfotpik-043.ogg ...and the Zebranky. #(YEARS_AGO6) zoqfotpik-044.ogg We three, the Zoq, Fot, and Pik evolved in such a way as to acquire sustenance from many sources... #(YEARS_AGO7) zoqfotpik-045.ogg ...from airborne zooplankton... #(YEARS_AGO8) zoqfotpik-046.ogg ...from solar and ambient energies... #(YEARS_AGO9) zoqfotpik-047.ogg ...and from rocky fungal clingers. #(YEARS_AGO10) zoqfotpik-048.ogg Our favorite! #(YEARS_AGO11) zoqfotpik-049.ogg The Zebranky also consumed a variety of foods namely: the Zoq the Fot and the Pik. #(YEARS_AGO12) zoqfotpik-050.ogg To survive the predations of the Zebranky we banded together annihilated the Zebranky... #(YEARS_AGO13) zoqfotpik-051.ogg ...and formed the cooperative union you now encounter. #(where_from) What do you seek from us? #(TRAVELED_FAR0) zoqfotpik-052.ogg We are a relatively peaceful group of species. #(TRAVELED_FAR1) zoqfotpik-053.ogg Unless we're angry. #(TRAVELED_FAR2) zoqfotpik-054.ogg So we find ourselves in need of help. #(TRAVELED_FAR3) zoqfotpik-055.ogg We only need a LITTLE! #(TRAVELED_FAR4) zoqfotpik-056.ogg Because of our desperate situation. #(TRAVELED_FAR5) zoqfotpik-057.ogg `Desperate' is too strong a word.

What's the matter? #(UNDER_ATTACK0) zoqfotpik-058.ogg Our planets are under attack from an invading horde! #(UNDER_ATTACK1) zoqfotpik-059.ogg We do not know who they are, or why they are here. #(UNDER_ATTACK2) zoqfotpik-060.ogg We are being blown to bits. #(UNDER_ATTACK3) zoqfotpik-061.ogg Fleets of alien ships appear out of nowhere then unleash terrible destructive energies. #(UNDER_ATTACK4) zoqfotpik-062.ogg Fortunately... #(UNDER_ATTACK5) zoqfotpik-063.ogg ...they release these energies on each other. #(UNDER_ATTACK6) zoqfotpik-064.ogg Unfortunately... #(UNDER_ATTACK7) zoqfotpik-065.ogg ...they favor combat near strong gravity wells. Their stray shots regularly strike the surface of our planets often with tragic results. #(UNDER_ATTACK8) zoqfotpik-066.ogg Fortunately... #(UNDER_ATTACK9) zoqfotpik-067.ogg ...they have never found our homeworld, only our colony planets. #(UNDER_ATTACK10) zoqfotpik-068.ogg Unfortunately... #(UNDER_ATTACK11) zoqfotpik-069.ogg ...all of our colonies have perished as a consequence. #(tough_luck) Hey, space is a tough place where wimps eat flaming plasma death. #(NOT_HELPFUL0) zoqfotpik-070.ogg Oh, dear. #(NOT_HELPFUL1) zoqfotpik-071.ogg I told you he looked like a creep! #(NOT_HELPFUL2) zoqfotpik-072.ogg No! We must try to understand. His ways are not like our own. #(NOT_HELPFUL3) zoqfotpik-073.ogg You mean his WHOLE SPECIES are jerks? #(NOT_HELPFUL4) zoqfotpik-074.ogg Let us give him one more chance. #(NOT_HELPFUL5) zoqfotpik-075.ogg Just look at him! He's a killer, I tell you! #(what_look_like) Who is attacking you? What do they look like? #(LOOK_LIKE0) zoqfotpik-076.ogg Some of the vessels are huge, green battleships which launch wave after wave of small fighters. #(LOOK_LIKE1) zoqfotpik-077.ogg The other ships are black as space and their hulls are carved with strange alien writing. #(LOOK_LIKE2) zoqfotpik-078.ogg In combat the two ships seem evenly matched. #(LOOK_LIKE3) zoqfotpik-079.ogg One fires blasts of fusion energy while the other launches spinning projectiles. #(valuable_info) You have given us valuable information. Goodbye. #(GOODBYE0) zoqfotpik-080.ogg If you must go now, we understand. #(GOODBYE1) zoqfotpik-081.ogg That's it?! You're leaving?!! #(GOODBYE2) zoqfotpik-082.ogg We hope that on your next visit we can establish a mutual assistance pact. #(GOODBYE3) zoqfotpik-083.ogg I can't believe that he's just leaving us here! ...what a jerk. #(all_very_interesting) Yes, yes, that's all very interesting, but now we are going to attack you! #(SEE_TOLD_YOU0) zoqfotpik-084.ogg What? #(SEE_TOLD_YOU1) zoqfotpik-085.ogg See! I told you.!... ...but would you listen... NO! #(SEE_TOLD_YOU2) zoqfotpik-086.ogg I don't understand! #(SEE_TOLD_YOU3) zoqfotpik-087.ogg So what does all your nicey-nice to the alien get us? Nothing! That's what! You should have done what I said and told him we were the Precursors. #(how_can_i_help) We want to help. What can we do? #(ALLY_WITH_US0) zoqfotpik-088.ogg We would like to establish a formal mutual-assistance pact with your species. #(ALLY_WITH_US1) zoqfotpik-089.ogg One of those `You scratch my vent I'll scratch your flipper' set-ups. #(ALLY_WITH_US2) zoqfotpik-090.ogg And as a sign of our good faith we will provide you with skilled Captains and plans for building our `Stinger' starships. #(ALLY_WITH_US3) zoqfotpik-091.ogg In return, if the bad guys find our homeworld you'll rush over here and vaporize 'em. #(ALLY_WITH_US4) zoqfotpik-092.ogg That is, essentially, correct. #(ALLY_WITH_US5) zoqfotpik-093.ogg Great deal, eh? You can't afford to pass it up! So what do you say? #(decide_later) Uh... I need to consult with our, er... our Grand-High Poobah! #(PLEASE_HURRY0) zoqfotpik-094.ogg Please hurry back with word from your Poobah. Millions of lives are at stake! #(PLEASE_HURRY1) zoqfotpik-095.ogg Not the least of which is mine. #(EMMISSARIES0) zoqfotpik-096.ogg These are the words we have prayed for! #(EMMISSARIES1) zoqfotpik-097.ogg Hey! This trip's not a waste after all! #(EMMISSARIES2) zoqfotpik-098.ogg More than anything, we seek an ally to help us survive in this hostile universe. #(EMMISSARIES3) zoqfotpik-099.ogg We are having some problems of that general nature. #(EMMISSARIES4) zoqfotpik-100.ogg But we are only emissaries. You must meet with our leaders. They are wiser... more powerful beings! #(EMMISSARIES5) zoqfotpik-101.ogg They look just like us, though. #(EMMISSARIES6) zoqfotpik-102.ogg Fly to the star called Alpha Tucanae. The planet closest to the sun is our home. #(EMMISSARIES7) zoqfotpik-103.ogg And if possible, hurry. #(sure) You are under attack by the Ur-Quan, our enemy as well. Therefore, speaking for all the People of Earth, I accept your offer. #(WE_ALLY0) zoqfotpik-104.ogg How wonderful! #(WE_ALLY1) zoqfotpik-105.ogg Hurray! #(WE_ALLY2) zoqfotpik-106.ogg How marvelous! #(WE_ALLY3) zoqfotpik-107.ogg Yee-ha! #(WE_ALLY4) zoqfotpik-108.ogg Captain, we shall begin fulfilling our commitment at once! We will begin transporting our officers to your base immediately! #(WE_ALLY5) zoqfotpik-109.ogg Why, heck! Maybe I'll even make the trip to your planet! I'd make a good starship captain, Captain! I'm pretty darn mean in a fight and there ain't nobody better than me with a thrusting stinger tongue attack! #(never) What? Protect you failures? No way! You're too lame! #(WE_ENEMIES0) zoqfotpik-110.ogg We have revealed ourselves to you. We have held out our appendages to you in friendship!... ...and you have treated us like dead Zebrankys. It takes a great deal to anger one of my species, Captain BUT YOU HAVE JUST SUCCEEDED! Attention Shipmates! Man the spray gun! Hoist the tongue! PREPARE FOR BATTLE! #(WE_ENEMIES1) zoqfotpik-111.ogg Yeah. Let's toast those creeps! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_10) zoqfotpik-112.ogg Coming here was pointless, human. Our species are at war. #(HOSTILE_HELLO_11) zoqfotpik-113.ogg Right! Prepare to die, alien scum! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_20) zoqfotpik-114.ogg If you had allied with us, Captain #(HOSTILE_HELLO_21) zoqfotpik-115.ogg Which you didn't! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_22) zoqfotpik-116.ogg We would gladly tell you what we have learned #(HOSTILE_HELLO_23) zoqfotpik-117.ogg Which we won't! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_24) zoqfotpik-118.ogg Regarding the two warring alien factions the Ur-Quan and their siblings, the Kohr-Ah. #(HOSTILE_HELLO_25) zoqfotpik-119.ogg But now you'll NEVER know! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_30) zoqfotpik-120.ogg With whatever remaining forces we have we will do our best to destroy you. #(HOSTILE_HELLO_31) zoqfotpik-121.ogg Yeah! And she means it too! #(HOSTILE_HELLO_40) zoqfotpik-122.ogg Your villainy is beyond possible forgiveness! We are compelled by our anger to destroy you. #(HOSTILE_HELLO_41) zoqfotpik-123.ogg He's probably just gonna run away again. The coward! #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_10) zoqfotpik-124.ogg Ah! It is the alien from the Chenjesu's Alliance! #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_11) zoqfotpik-125.ogg Just look at those weapon pods on his ship. #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_12) zoqfotpik-126.ogg We hope that during this visit we can make clear to your species the benefits of a mutual-assistance pact. #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_13) zoqfotpik-127.ogg But we're also armed to the teeth so don't try stealing our atmosphere or anything sneaky like that! #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_20) zoqfotpik-128.ogg Once more, the Alliance starship has returned. #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_21) zoqfotpik-129.ogg Yeah. I bet THIS is the time they try to trick us. #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_22) zoqfotpik-130.ogg Alien Captain, do you bring word from your Leaders? #(NEUTRAL_HOME_HELLO_23) zoqfotpik-131.ogg If he does, I bet it's something like `Submit or be Eaten'! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_10) zoqfotpik-132.ogg Hello friend and ally! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_11) zoqfotpik-133.ogg Got any presents for us? #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_12) zoqfotpik-134.ogg We hope your struggle against the Ur-Quan goes well! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_13) zoqfotpik-135.ogg Darn! He never gives us anything. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_20) zoqfotpik-136.ogg Welcome back to our world. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_21) zoqfotpik-137.ogg Yeah, welcome back to our world! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_22) zoqfotpik-138.ogg I just said that. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_23) zoqfotpik-139.ogg So? It doesn't mean I can't say it too. Besides, you always get to talk first. That's not fair! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_24) zoqfotpik-140.ogg Sorry, that's just the way it is. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_25) zoqfotpik-141.ogg Well why?! That doesn't make sense. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_26) zoqfotpik-142.ogg Look, don't ask me. I think it's something technical. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_27) zoqfotpik-143.ogg Yeah, right. I'm so sure. What a lame excuse. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_30) zoqfotpik-144.ogg Greetings Captain. What can your allies do for you? #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_31) zoqfotpik-145.ogg Your favorite allies! #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_40) zoqfotpik-146.ogg Hello human ally. We are at your service. #(ALLIED_HOME_HELLO_41) zoqfotpik-147.ogg What do you want? #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE0) zoqfotpik-148.ogg Our Savior! Our Savior! You have rescued us from certain destruction! #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE1) zoqfotpik-149.ogg Howee-baby! That was a close one! #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE2) zoqfotpik-150.ogg The black ship appeared in orbit several days ago and began raining down bolts of destructive energy on the surface of our planet! #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE3) zoqfotpik-151.ogg Fortunately... #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE4) zoqfotpik-152.ogg ...we were able to focus our planetary shields to deflect the energy blasts away from our cities. #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE5) zoqfotpik-153.ogg Unfortunately... #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE6) zoqfotpik-154.ogg Large sections of our planet's beautiful wilderness have been annihilated... entire ecosystems destroyed. #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE7) zoqfotpik-155.ogg Oh! That makes me REALLY mad! I mean, attacking helpless, intelligent, alien species that's one thing, but toasting our cute little wood Jukes and tree Narfs that is really low! #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE8) zoqfotpik-156.ogg If the black ship had been accompanied by others of its kind we wouldn't have been able stop the rain of destruction. They would have killed us all. #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE9) zoqfotpik-157.ogg Well in that case, better those Jukes and Narfs than us, right? #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE10) zoqfotpik-158.ogg Captain, it is clear that in matters of war you are more capable than ourselves. With this in mind, we would like to give you our four finest starships and crew. I hope they bring you many victories. #(THANKS_FOR_RESCUE11) zoqfotpik-159.ogg Try not to lose them all right away. #(bye_homeworld) Bye Zoq. Bye Fot. Bye Pik. #(GOODBYE_HOME0) zoqfotpik-160.ogg Goodbye Captain. #(GOODBYE_HOME1) zoqfotpik-161.ogg See ya. #(whats_up_homeworld) So, what's happening around here? #(GENERAL_INFO_10) zoqfotpik-162.ogg We had a close call last week. #(GENERAL_INFO_11) zoqfotpik-163.ogg One of those black ships was snooping around the system. #(GENERAL_INFO_12) zoqfotpik-164.ogg But before it got to our world some of the Green ships warped in destroyed the black vessel and then left immediately. #(GENERAL_INFO_13) zoqfotpik-165.ogg We got lucky. #(GENERAL_INFO_20) zoqfotpik-166.ogg It's been pretty quiet, Captain. Nothing new to report. #(GENERAL_INFO_21) zoqfotpik-167.ogg Are you CRAZY?! What about the Frungy Championships!? #(GENERAL_INFO_22) zoqfotpik-168.ogg Why should we tell the Earth Captain about that? He wouldn't be interested. #(GENERAL_INFO_23) zoqfotpik-169.ogg Oh, yeah? How do you know? #(GENERAL_INFO_24) zoqfotpik-170.ogg Because I'M not even interested. Nobody with any brains is interested in Frungy! #(GENERAL_INFO_25) zoqfotpik-171.ogg Well what about me, huh? I LOVE Frungy! It's the Sport of Kings! #(GENERAL_INFO_26) zoqfotpik-172.ogg Sheesh! #(GENERAL_INFO_27) zoqfotpik-173.ogg Oh, all right he wouldn't know any of the teams anyway. #(GENERAL_INFO_30) zoqfotpik-174.ogg Although this may not pertain to the Ur-Quan we have received an interesting report from one of our deep space scouts. #(GENERAL_INFO_31) zoqfotpik-175.ogg She found a strange metal door-thing embedded in the surface of an alien planet. #(GENERAL_INFO_32) zoqfotpik-176.ogg Although she and her crew spent many days trying to open the door #(GENERAL_INFO_33) zoqfotpik-177.ogg they failed utterly to so much as budge it. #(GENERAL_INFO_34) zoqfotpik-178.ogg The reported location of this alien artifact is Epsilon Camelopardalis I-A. #(GENERAL_INFO_35) zoqfotpik-179.ogg Go open it! I bet there's something cool inside! #(GENERAL_INFO_40) zoqfotpik-180.ogg We may not have told you this before, Captain but my species is somewhat sensitive to certain meta-psychic vibrations. #(GENERAL_INFO_41) zoqfotpik-181.ogg Oh, no! Not this mental stuff again! #(GENERAL_INFO_42) zoqfotpik-182.ogg Although my friend's species has difficulty understanding our powers I can guarantee you, Captain that our limited abilities are quite real. #(GENERAL_INFO_43) zoqfotpik-183.ogg Oh, yeah! Remember that time you said you could fix our broken chronometers with your `sympathetic psionic waves'? More like `pathetic waves' if you ask me! Nyark! Nyark! Nyark! #(GENERAL_INFO_44) zoqfotpik-184.ogg Even through all this negative energy, Captain we have discovered that... #(GENERAL_INFO_45) zoqfotpik-185.ogg ...and THEN there was the time you said you could bend dorfs with just your... #(GENERAL_INFO_46) zoqfotpik-186.ogg SHUT UP! #(GENERAL_INFO_47) zoqfotpik-187.ogg ...sorry. #(GENERAL_INFO_48) zoqfotpik-188.ogg As I was saying, before I was so RUDELY interrupted!... #(GENERAL_INFO_49) zoqfotpik-189.ogg I said I was sorry. #(GENERAL_INFO_410) zoqfotpik-190.ogg Our most talented Seers have detected some ominous and powerful meta-psychic signals from the direction of the Orionis constellation. #(GENERAL_INFO_411) zoqfotpik-191.ogg Faker. #(any_war_news) Any news about the war between the two alien races? #(UTWIG_DELAY0) zoqfotpik-192.ogg Our scouts have witnessed an exciting event in the Horologii star system. #(UTWIG_DELAY1) zoqfotpik-193.ogg Yeah! Big news! #(UTWIG_DELAY2) zoqfotpik-194.ogg Two alien races have entered that region of space from the coreward direction. #(UTWIG_DELAY3) zoqfotpik-195.ogg One of the races look like big talkin' weeds and the other wears a funny mask. #(UTWIG_DELAY4) zoqfotpik-196.ogg And they are attacking our enemies! #(UTWIG_DELAY5) zoqfotpik-197.ogg Well, ONE of our enemies, anyway. #(UTWIG_DELAY6) zoqfotpik-198.ogg Yes, the new aliens seem to be confining their hostilities to the sinister Kohr-Ah. #(UTWIG_DELAY7) zoqfotpik-199.ogg Actually, that's good news. #(UTWIG_DELAY8) zoqfotpik-200.ogg By focusing on the Kohr-Ah who have been winning their war up to this point... #(UTWIG_DELAY9) zoqfotpik-201.ogg They've been plastering the Ur-Quan. #(UTWIG_DELAY10) zoqfotpik-202.ogg The balance of power has been equalized somewhat... #(UTWIG_DELAY11) zoqfotpik-203.ogg But the Kohr-Ah will STILL probably win! #(UTWIG_DELAY12) zoqfotpik-204.ogg But we estimate that the efforts of these new alien races has delayed the Kohr-Ah's eventual victory by nine to twelve months. #(UTWIG_DELAY13) zoqfotpik-205.ogg Still, it's better than nothing! #(KOHRAH_WINNING0) zoqfotpik-206.ogg We have modified a few of our Stinger starships for long-range reconnaissance missions. #(KOHRAH_WINNING1) zoqfotpik-207.ogg We strapped a bunch of fuel tanks on their hulls. #(KOHRAH_WINNING2) zoqfotpik-208.ogg The scouts were ordered to investigate the progress of the war between the green ships, who we now know as the `Ur-Quan' and the black ships, flown by the `Kohr-Ah'. #(KOHRAH_WINNING3) zoqfotpik-209.ogg We sent out ten... two came back #(KOHRAH_WINNING4) zoqfotpik-210.ogg But the information they gathered was worth the cost. #(KOHRAH_WINNING5) zoqfotpik-211.ogg Unless you were one of the scouts, I suppose? Nyark! Nyark! Nyark! #(KOHRAH_WINNING6) zoqfotpik-212.ogg SHUT UP! #(KOHRAH_WINNING7) zoqfotpik-213.ogg ...sorry. #(KOHRAH_WINNING8) zoqfotpik-214.ogg Anyway, as I was saying, the intelligence they gathered indicates that the Kohr-Ah will win their war sometime near the beginning of the year 2158. #(KOHRAH_WINNING9) zoqfotpik-215.ogg Unless someone evens up the alien forces by destroying about a bazillion Kohr-Ah ships. #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE0) zoqfotpik-216.ogg Our reconnaissance ships have returned once more #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE1) zoqfotpik-217.ogg With bad news. #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE2) zoqfotpik-218.ogg Based on what they have seen the Kohr-Ah will defeat the Ur-Quan in less than six months. #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE3) zoqfotpik-219.ogg Bummer. #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE4) zoqfotpik-220.ogg And based on our last encounter with the Kohr-Ah we expect that when they win their war with the Ur-Quan the Kohr-Ah will move through this entire region of space destroying all intelligent life. #(URQUAN_NEARLY_GONE5) zoqfotpik-221.ogg Major bummer! #(KOHRAH_FRENZY0) zoqfotpik-222.ogg I fear we have received our last scouting reports, Captain. #(KOHRAH_FRENZY1) zoqfotpik-223.ogg Poor Yip, Tun and Haffy! I'll really miss those guys! #(KOHRAH_FRENZY2) zoqfotpik-224.ogg Although none of our scouts returned home alive #(KOHRAH_FRENZY3) zoqfotpik-225.ogg ...and Jiff... and Fod... and (sniff!)... ...and my best pal, Rogi! #(KOHRAH_FRENZY4) zoqfotpik-226.ogg They were able to send a last message. The Kohr-Ah have won their war against the Ur-Quan and they have begun their hideous death march. #(KOHRAH_FRENZY5) zoqfotpik-227.ogg (sniff!) #(KOHRAH_FRENZY6) zoqfotpik-228.ogg The only piece of knowledge we have that may help you defeat them is a fragment of a transmission we received from our agent Buppo who was in the Crateris constellation. #(KOHRAH_FRENZY7) zoqfotpik-229.ogg They got Buppo too?!...(SOB!) #(KOHRAH_FRENZY8) zoqfotpik-230.ogg He reported that the Kohr-Ah had something `big, dangerous and important as hell' in one of the nearby star systems. That was all we got before Buppo's signal was cut off. #(KOHRAH_FRENZY9) zoqfotpik-231.ogg (SOB!) #(KOHRAH_FRENZY10) zoqfotpik-232.ogg You have got to stop the Kohr-Ah, Captain!... ...before they kill us all. #(KOHRAH_FRENZY11) zoqfotpik-233.ogg (sniff!) #(NO_WAR_NEWS0) zoqfotpik-234.ogg No. We have nothing new to report. #(NO_WAR_NEWS1) zoqfotpik-235.ogg Nope! Not a thing. #(i_want_alliance) I have travelled here to seek an alliance between our peoples. #(GOOD0) zoqfotpik-236.ogg How wonderful! We accept! #(GOOD1) zoqfotpik-237.ogg Hurray! #(GOOD2) zoqfotpik-238.ogg How marvelous! #(GOOD3) zoqfotpik-239.ogg Yee-ha! #(GOOD4) zoqfotpik-240.ogg Captain, we are delighted that your people have made this choice! #(GOOD5) zoqfotpik-241.ogg Now WE won't get slaughtered! #(GOOD6) zoqfotpik-242.ogg In exchange for our cooperation helping you with captains and ship designs all that we ask for is your protection. #(GOOD7) zoqfotpik-243.ogg So we don't get slaughtered! #(GOOD8) zoqfotpik-244.ogg We shall begin fulfilling our commitment at once! We will transport officers and our Stinger design to your base immediately! #(GOOD9) zoqfotpik-245.ogg Why, heck! Maybe I'll even make the trip to your planet! I'd make a good starship captain, Captain! I'm pretty darn mean in a fight and there ain't nobody better than me with a thrusting stinger tongue attack! #(want_specific_info) I would like some specific information. #(WHAT_SPECIFIC_INFO0) zoqfotpik-246.ogg Sure. What do you want to know? #(WHAT_SPECIFIC_INFO1) zoqfotpik-247.ogg Just ask away! #(enough_info) That's enough info for now, thanks! #(OK_ENOUGH_INFO) zoqfotpik-248.ogg Anything else? #(what_about_others) What do you know about other alien races? #(ABOUT_OTHERS0) zoqfotpik-249.ogg Not much, to tell the truth. #(ABOUT_OTHERS1) zoqfotpik-250.ogg This space exploration stuff is kinda new to us. #(ABOUT_OTHERS2) zoqfotpik-251.ogg Besides the green alien ships... #(ABOUT_OTHERS3) zoqfotpik-252.ogg Which have only tried to kill us. #(ABOUT_OTHERS4) zoqfotpik-253.ogg ...and the black alien ships... #(ABOUT_OTHERS5) zoqfotpik-254.ogg Which have actually been QUITE SUCCESSFUL at killing us. #(ABOUT_OTHERS6) zoqfotpik-255.ogg The only other starships we have encountered are strange tumbling red probes which profess to be on a peaceful mission... #(ABOUT_OTHERS7) zoqfotpik-256.ogg ...but then attack like slavering Zebrankys. #(ABOUT_OTHERS8) zoqfotpik-257.ogg We believe that the probes are actually robotic scouts which have suffered some kind of malfunction resulting in their aberrant behavior. #(ABOUT_OTHERS9) zoqfotpik-258.ogg And what's worse, they are multiplying. #(ABOUT_OTHERS10) zoqfotpik-259.ogg Yes, that's true. The probes seem to be replicating at a geometric rate. #(ABOUT_OTHERS11) zoqfotpik-260.ogg AIEE! That means if there was only one last week then next month... ah wait a minute... let me calculate uh That means, next month there will be ...A WHOLE MESS OF THOSE THINGS! #(ABOUT_OTHERS12) zoqfotpik-261.ogg By back-tracing the probes' course paths we have been able to calculate that the source of the probes is somewhere on a direct line that includes our star, and Epsilon Muscae. #(ABOUT_OTHERS13) zoqfotpik-262.ogg Go get 'em, Captain! #(what_about_zebranky) Tell me more about your people. #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY0) zoqfotpik-263.ogg Ah! Cultural exchange. A good idea. #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY1) zoqfotpik-264.ogg Yeah! Let's tell him about Frungy! #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY2) zoqfotpik-265.ogg Be quiet, you fool! He asked a serious question! He doesn't want to know about Frungy. #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY3) zoqfotpik-266.ogg How do you know? What makes you so smart? You never even asked him if he wants to know about Frungy. Why, I'll bet right now he's wondering `What is this wonderful sport, Frungy?', `How is it played?' `What kind of equipment do you need to play Frungy?' and `I wonder who's ahead in the Frungy Championships?' #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY4) zoqfotpik-267.ogg AUGH! Will you SHUT UP ABOUT FRUNGY?! If you say another word about that STUPID GAME I'm going to lose control and blow a cloud of spores at you! #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY5) zoqfotpik-268.ogg Yech! Okay, okay. Don't blow your sac. I won't mention Frungy again, I promise. #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY6) zoqfotpik-269.ogg Well, Captain, as you can probably see our culture's predominant trait its greatest strength AND weakness is the diverse interactions between Zoq, Fot, and Pik. #(ABOUT_ZEBRANKY7) zoqfotpik-270.ogg FRUNGY! FRUNGY! FRUNGY! #(what_about_past) What was your history like? #(ABOUT_PAST0) zoqfotpik-271.ogg Our past? Quite a broad topic for this short conversation but we'll share a key piece of our history with you. #(ABOUT_PAST1) zoqfotpik-272.ogg After we killed off the last Zebranky we faced an interesting question. #(ABOUT_PAST2) zoqfotpik-273.ogg Should we proceed, and establish a culture which would advance in art, technology and social sophistication?... #(ABOUT_PAST3) zoqfotpik-274.ogg ...Or should we just go back into the forest and kick back and enjoy ourselves knowing that a Zebranky wasn't gonna jump out of the bush and eat us! #(ABOUT_PAST4) zoqfotpik-275.ogg Well, we DID go back into the forest. We stayed there for about five thousand years and had a great time... #(ABOUT_PAST5) zoqfotpik-276.ogg ...then, one stormy day, a Zoq, a Fot, and a Pik were walking up a steep path looking for something good to eat, when a bolt of lightning struck nearby. With a huge flash of light, the bolt of energy carved a strangely-shaped chunk of granite out of a cliff. #(ABOUT_PAST6) zoqfotpik-277.ogg It was a disk, with a hole in the middle! As the rock began to roll down the hill, toward the three terrified beings some dry grass got caught in its hole, and since the rock was still hot the grass caught on fire. #(ABOUT_PAST7) zoqfotpik-278.ogg When the rock finally got to the Zoq, the Fot, and the Pik they simultaneously discovered the Wheel, Fire, and Religion thus catapulting them on to the road of progress. #(ABOUT_PAST8) zoqfotpik-279.ogg Which has led us to this day, Captain. Oh! How did the flaming wheel give religion to our Culture, you ask? #(ABOUT_PAST9) zoqfotpik-280.ogg I will explain. You see, when it got to the threesome, the flaming wheel was going at a pretty good clip and it ran smack into the Zoq, killing him. #(ABOUT_PAST10) zoqfotpik-281.ogg The Fot and the Pik felt so bad they really liked that Zoq!... ...that they decided the Zoq hadn't really died when the wheel flattened him he had just gone to `a better place.' #(ABOUT_PAST11) zoqfotpik-282.ogg Presumably one without lethal flaming wheels. #(what_about_stinger) Can you describe your `Stinger' starship? #(ABOUT_STINGER0) zoqfotpik-283.ogg The Stinger is the peak of our technological prowess. #(ABOUT_STINGER1) zoqfotpik-284.ogg It's totally awesome! #(ABOUT_STINGER2) zoqfotpik-285.ogg These vessels are cheap to build and can be quite effective in short range combat. #(ABOUT_STINGER3) zoqfotpik-286.ogg They turn on a... on a well a small round thing that's REAL small! #(ABOUT_STINGER4) zoqfotpik-287.ogg Remember though, against most ships the Stinger must close distance immediately and give unrelenting tongue attacks until either the enemy or the Stinger are destroyed. #(ABOUT_STINGER5) zoqfotpik-288.ogg Yeah! The tonguing is the best part! #(what_about_guy_in_back) Does that guy in back ever say anything? #(ABOUT_GUY0) zoqfotpik-289.ogg Nope. #(ABOUT_GUY1) zoqfotpik-290.ogg Not a word. #(name_1) The New Alliance of Free Stars' #(name_2) The Concordance of Alien Nations' #(name_3) The United Federation of Worlds' #(name_40) The Empire of #(name_41) 's #(OUT_TAKES0) zoqfotpik-291.ogg Thank you for playing The Ur-Quan Masters. #(OUT_TAKES1) zoqfotpik-292.ogg This game has been brought to you by Frungy! The Sport of Kings! #(OUT_TAKES2) zoqfotpik-293.ogg No it wasn't! #(OUT_TAKES3) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Yes it was! #(OUT_TAKES4) zoqfotpik-294.ogg Frungy had nothing to do with it! This game was about war, slavery, intolerance heroism, justice, and the inevitable triumph of Good over Evil! #(OUT_TAKES5) zoqfotpik-291.ogg Are you crazy?! The developers got millions in Frungy endorsements! #(OUT_TAKES6) zoqfotpik-293.ogg No they didn't. #(OUT_TAKES7) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Yes they did. #(OUT_TAKES8) zoqfotpik-293.ogg No they didn't! #(OUT_TAKES9) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Yes they did! #(OUT_TAKES10) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Did not! #(OUT_TAKES11) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Did too! #(OUT_TAKES12) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Did not! #(OUT_TAKES13) zoqfotpik-293.ogg Did too!
