Starfield:Sam Coe

Sam Coe is a resident of the Lodge, a former Freestar Ranger, a member of Constellation, the son of Jacob Coe, the ex-husband of Lillian Hart, and the father of Cora Coe. He is a potential Companion and romantic partner.

As a crew member, Sam offers Tier 4 Piloting and Tier 2 Payloads, allowing you to fly Class C ships and carry additional cargo. As a companion, he is an expert rifleman. Sam is always accompanied by his daughter, Cora, who will remain on your ship at all times.

Overencumbered

 * Is all that junk really necessary?
 * Are you training for some sort of weight lifting competition?
 * You know they have cargo holds for all that?
 * You got to drop some of that.
 * Please, just drop some of that. I'm hurting just watching you.
 * Sure, just keep grabbing everything. What could go wrong?
 * How do you even manage to carry all that?
 * Do you need all of... that?
 * You could stand to drop a few pounds. And I don't mean a diet.
 * You might want to stow some of that? Just a suggestion.

Drinking

 * Good times.
 * Haha. Enjoy.
 * Whoever first figured out booze needs a memorial. Heck, a whole theme park.
 * I might have one later. Just one.
 * It's always 5 o'clock somewhere, right?
 * That's good for what ails you.
 * Cheers!
 * Sometimes you just gotta let off steam.
 * If you have any extra...?
 * Down the hatch.

Using Chems

 * Well, whatever floats your boat.
 * Man, I sometimes miss the partying.
 * Recovery's a bitch. So... just be careful?
 * Just don't do that around Cora, please.
 * I've done all manner of drugs in my time. Words of wisdom - it's not worth it.
 * Reminds me of some my long haul days.
 * Haha. Someone's having a good time.
 * Just take it easy, okay? Everything's fun in moderation.
 * Man, I miss the good ol' days of partying all night.
 * In moderation, partying can be a whole lot of fun.

Crafting

 * Where'd you learn to do that?
 * Bet you can't make a tuba.
 * You must save a fortune making things by yourself.
 * Look at you go.
 * You're handy.
 * Glad you're making it instead of me. The only A I'd get is for effort.
 * You can do wonders with a schematic.
 * That looks pretty useful.
 * Whatcha making?
 * Is there anything you can't do?

Construction

 * You've got more patience for building than I.
 * You'll turn this into a second home in no time.
 * I confess I usually just build fuel depots. Not as ambitious as you.
 * Not bad at all. You got a gift.
 * Remind me to tell you the story of the first time I let Cora work on an outpost. *chuckle*
 * This place is really shaping up.
 * That's looking really nice.
 * Whatcha building now?
 * You'll make this New New Atlantis in time.
 * When you're out beyond civilization, an outpost'll save your life.

Upgrading

 * Another upgrade? Show off.
 * Cora's going to lose her mind when she sees what you built.
 * If you ever have a chance, I'd love some of your handiwork on my ship.
 * One day, when all of this is over, you got to show me how you do that.
 * You keep this up and your ship will be the envy of all.
 * Whatcha doing now?
 * You're always tinkering, aren't you?
 * You do know there are Staryards for that, right?
 * Now you're just showing off.
 * The stuff you build. Amazing.

Crafting Armor

 * My size is medium. Just in case you were wondering.
 * That looks nice and... defensible?
 * Every ounce of survivability is priceless.
 * So can all Vectera miners do... all that?
 * And you make armor, too. Of course you do.
 * Fine work. Bet it'll stand up to some punishment.
 * The best offense is a good... Yeah, you know the drill.
 * Never even tried making that. Impressive.
 * If you're making armor, don't forget your buddy. That's me. Good ol' Sam.
 * I always wondered how armor was made.

Crafting Weapons

 * Being able to trick out your own gun is a valuable skill.
 * That gun's looking fierce.
 * You're quite handy with those tools.
 * Whoa, that's looking really... dangerous.
 * That's a good trick. Might try it one day myself.
 * You might want to... no, you already thought of that. Good work.
 * I wouldn't want to be on the other side of that.
 * That's looking really good.
 * You can never go wrong putting some more TLC into your main weapon.
 * I have been known to tinker with my own sidearm from time to time.

Firing Out of Combat

 * Save that for the bad guys.
 * You celebrating something? *chuckle*
 * Easy there. No bad guys around. Wait, no one's around right?
 * Whoa. Sorry, startled me.
 * Hahaha. Reminds me of the time I was half out of my gourd in HopeTown.
 * Well, whatever you were aiming at is so dead it's like it never was there.
 * Bit of a hair trigger there.
 * Please tell me that was target practice.
 * Might be I've done that a time or two. *chuckle*
 * Did you get it? Whatever it was.

Dropping Items

 * Shame to see that go to waste.
 * Hey you dropped... And you meant to do that. Okay.
 * How's it go? Waste not, need not?
 * Now we're just throwing things away. Great.
 * You sure you don't need that?
 * You know there are scavengers in Neon that would kill for that.
 * Hey, that looks useful.
 * Never know when you'll need that.
 * And you're just dropping it? You know that's worth something, right?
 * Hey, you dropped... Wait, you meant to do that?

Using Enhance

 * Got to look our best for Constellation.
 * If I had only bought stock in Enhance!, I'd be sitting pretty. Well, prettier.
 * I barely recognize you.
 * Now you're looking sharp.
 * Those machines are amazing.
 * Might be I had some work done back in the day.
 * Looking good.
 * I think you looked good before.
 * Cora keeps saying I need some work done. Kids.
 * Looking good, looking good.

Hacking

 * Hope you find the good stuff on there.
 * Glad you're doing that not me.
 * You, uh, doing the thing. Hell, I have no idea how hackers speak.
 * Everything going good?
 * I tried hacking once. Still have the scar from it.
 * Don't look at me. Hacking and me don't mix.
 * Anything good in there?
 * Whatever you're doing, well, looks impressive.
 * Careful of the security systems.
 * I never could get the hang of hacking.

Searching Alien Carcasses

 * Never let a carcass go to waste.
 * Life in all its messy gooey splendor.
 * Hope you don't mind I let you skin that one?
 * The smell's part of the job.
 * Glad to see you don't mind getting your hands dirty.
 * Don't let anything go to waste.
 * Gonna use that for crafting or profit?
 * You can make a mint off animal parts sometimes.
 * It may stink to high heaven, but all part of the job.

Mining

 * Nice. That looks good.
 * You're really handy with that.
 * If you want to fly, you got to mine.
 * Good haul with that one.
 * You were a miner before all this, right? It shows.
 * Most folk swear by harvesters, but I like getting my hands dirty.
 * Sometimes you just got to get the minerals yourself.
 * That looks promising.
 * The number of rocks I've pulverized... I deserve an award.
 * You must've been one hell of a miner.

Harvesting

 * Never know what you'll find foraging.
 * Foraging is serious work.
 * A lot of explorers turn their nose at skinning and foraging, but they're leaving credits on the table.
 * You don't have allergies, do you?
 * Looks like you found some useful stuff.
 * Constellation: Exotic Gardening at your service.
 * Ah, berry picking time.
 * If you know what you're looking for, exotic plants can make some mean credits.
 * Is it weird I'd rather gut an animal than berry pick?
 * Be careful handling that. Sometimes you can get a nasty rash.

Being Rescued

 * I was just taking a siesta.
 * Oh, that was... not good. Thanks.
 * Sincerely and truly: thanks.
 * Oh thank god.
 * I figure I'm supposed to be the one rescuing you.
 * Whew. Good to be up again.
 * I owe you one.
 * Whew. Thanks. Don't mention this bit to Cora. She worries enough.
 * That was too close.
 * Aww, you shouldn't have. Actually, you really should've. Thanks.

Returning from Jail

 * It's good to have you back. But, try not to make a habit of it.
 * No judgments here. Been there, done that.
 * I assume you're all rehabilitated now. Yes? No?
 * Word to the wise: if you're breaking the law, don't get caught.
 * I'm glad I'm not you. If Sarah finds out she's gonna be so pissed.
 * I take it you didn't get my cake with the nail file.
 * Welcome back, jailbird. Have a good visit?
 * Maybe play it a little safer next time.
 * We've all done a spell or two in jail. Welcome back.
 * You should've paid the fine. Just saying.

Fall Damage

 * That was a hell of a thing to see.
 * You're okay, right?
 * I just got to ask... why?
 * The answer to the question: "If you're friend jumps off a cliff, would you?" "No, no, sir, I wouldn't."
 * Gravity's a bitch, don't let anyone tell you different.
 * Ouch. That didn't go well.
 * Mind if I take the long way?
 * Was that some sort of stunt gone wrong?
 * Most folk prefer the jetpack?
 * Now that looked... painful.

Looting

 * All you.
 * Grab everything useful.
 * Better we get it than someone else.
 * Waste not, need not.
 * We do what we must, right?
 * Grisly, but part of the job.
 * To the victor goes the spoils. I said it right, right?
 * Well, they don't need it.
 * Take the good stuff, leave the rest.
 * Looting the dead ain't glamorous, but it sure is profitable.

Lockpicking

 * And.. bingo. Let's see what we got.
 * Every time I see a lock I wonder, what are you hiding?
 * Locks must hate you.
 * Why do they even bother locking it?
 * Hope you find something good.
 * And... you did it.
 * You make that look too damned easy.
 * You are seriously handy with those locks.
 * And you're in.
 * Cha-ching.

Hostile Boarding

 * Boarders. Boarders!
 * Boarders. Life just got interesting.
 * Board me will you, oh, it's on.
 * We got boarders, Captain!
 * Board us, huh? Big mistake.
 * That's it, we're breeched!
 * Oh, you come on to my ship? Hell no.
 * Boarders! Gotta hide Cora.
 * We're being boarded. Boarded!
 * Aww, dammit. We got company!

Boarding Action

 * Ready for some close combat, Captain?
 * All right, all right. Boarding time.
 * These close quarters boarding actions can really get your juices flowing.
 * And we're boarding. It's better this way than the other.
 * And we're in. Let's hit them hard before they dig in.
 * We got their back up against the wall, careful.
 * Things are going to get up close and personal.
 * All right. No idea of the layout, so stay alert.
 * Think they'll just give up? Hey, it's got to happen one day.
 * The enemy crew may not like visitors.

Pre-Flight

 * The board's green, ready for what comes next.
 * This is where I belong.
 * Where to next?
 * I bet Cora has already finished the pre-flight checklist. That's my girl.
 * We're ready for take off, Captain.
 * Love the smell of getting back into the harness.
 * Nice to be back.
 * You doing all right, gumdrop? We're home.
 * Time to tell Cora we're back.
 * Home, sweet home.

Stealing

 * That's not ours, you know?
 * What? You're stealing?
 * If you get caught...
 * Nothing good can come from this.
 * Oh please, can we lay off the light fingers?
 * That's not yours.
 * Oh so we're stealing now. *grunt*
 * Oh please don't get caught.
 * What? That's, uh, you know illegal?
 * Wait. You know that's not ours?

Pickpocketing

 * This... it's a crime, you know?
 * You really like living dangerously, don't you?
 * This... is not what I signed up for.
 * I hope whatever you found was worth the risk.
 * If you get caught, you'll be in a heap of trouble.
 * How'd you even do that?
 * Are you for real? Picking pockets?
 * There are laws against... this.
 * What? That's crazy. And impressive.
 * Are you doing what I think you're doing?

Swimming

 * Swim time it is.
 * A little swim never hurt.
 * And I left my bathing suit on the ship. Oh well.
 * Cora is going to be jealous.
 * Marco?
 * I wish the ship had a pool.
 * Hope nothing's in the water.
 * Don't mind if I join you.
 * Too bad Cora's not here.
 * I could go for a swim.

Scanning

 * Scanner pick up anything fun?
 * What do we got?
 * What's the read out?
 * Find anything?
 * Hope you find what you're looking for.
 * You picking up something?
 * The scanner is Constellation's best friend.
 * And a-scanning we go.
 * See if you can get any vid reception? I'm missing my stories.
 * Got a bead on anything?

Using Powers

 * You are... one of a kind.
 * The stuff you can do... Whew.
 * Remind me to stay on your good side.
 * That really happened, right?
 * That's simply... whew.
 * That.. is something else.
 * You're still... human, right?
 * Nobody's going to believe me if I tell them you could do that.
 * How on earth do you do that?
 * Holy... I ain't never getting used to that.

Naked

 * Don't let Cora see you like this.
 * If you're expecting me to travel in the buff, you're mistaken.
 * Careful you don't catch a chill.
 * I think you're forgetting something... You know, pretty standard. I mean clothes, all right. Clothes.
 * Haha. Well, all right - we're going au natural.
 * Didn't know traveling with you was clothing optional.
 * Clothes are still customary around these parts.
 * You might want to, I don't know, put something on?
 * Bold fashion choice.
 * For some people walking around like that's a nightmare...

Zero-G

 * Long-term Zero-G has it's drawbacks, short term: it's a blast.
 * You spend much time weightless? It's a blast.
 * There's something almost magical about zero gee.
 * I could float like this for hours.
 * laugh* I don't know why, sometimes when the weight drops off it tickles.
 * And... we're floating.
 * I spent almost a year in Zero-G once. It was hard getting used to gravity after.
 * Nothing like the Zero-G 100% weight diet.
 * Zero-G is... pretty amazing, right?
 * You see what happened to my gravity? Might be in my other pair of pants.

Waking Up

 * Time to earn our paychecks. Wait, why don't we get paid?
 * I'm feeling good now, you feeling good?
 * All right, let's get back to it.
 * The galaxy ain't gonna conquer itself.
 * Another day, another credit as my daddy liked to say.
 * You awake? Good.
 * The mighty hero awakens. Let's go.
 * Did I hear snoring? *chuckle*
 * Up and at 'em.
 * Hope you got better sleep than I did.
 * I feel like a million credits. *chuckle*
 * I am a lucky, lucky man.
 * How'd I ever get so lucky?
 * I could be like this with you forever.
 * I know we have to get up, but do we have to get up right now?
 * Don't know about you, but... this... It's the best.
 * You look like an angel when you're sleeping.
 * Morning, love.
 * Aww, we're getting up.
 * Morning, sunshine.

Waking Up (Romanced)

 * You are wonder of nature, love.
 * Can't wait for tomorrow night. I've got some ideas.
 * Last night: totally worth the bruise.
 * Hopefully I did Constellation proud.
 * I could get very, very used to this, love.
 * Aww, we're done? I could go for round four.
 * With all the fun we had, you manage to get any sleep?
 * You are... With the legs, and the arm... How's that even possible?
 * Right here with you is a little patch of heaven.
 * Last night was truly something.

Location Comments

 * I think I have some outstanding parking tickets. They don't care about that, right? Right?
 * I cannot believe I'm on a SysDef command ship. Yaaay.
 * These are the good guys, right? Please tell me SysDef are the good guys.
 * Being here on the Vigilance... I feel literally queasy.
 * SysDef. So much fun.
 * Smell that? I would bottle that up if I could. Musty old books, a bit of motor oil, and... history?
 * It's good to be back.
 * Exploration still lives as long as the Lodge is still standing.
 * I wonder how much Walter pays in property tax on this baby?
 * I sometimes still can't believe I got my own room here.
 * I keep expecting they'll one day say it was all an elaborate practical joke.
 * So much history in these halls. And if we're lucky, we'll be adding some more.
 * This here is the closest thing Cora has to home. Not bad, right?
 * Constellation. It's always nice to come home.
 * I'm not a fan of the UC. But this here... is a little patch of heaven.
 * Home sweet home.
 * The fact you came here... voluntarily... that's it: you win the Nerves of Steel Award.
 * Thank god Cora isn't here. Who am I kidding? That girl would probably love it here. She's crazy that way.
 * The Key is just about the most dangerous place in the galaxy. Well, maybe a black hole. But the Key is second.
 * The Key. I cannot believe I'm here. I don't want to believe I'm here.
 * If it's all the same to you, let's leave the Key as soon as we can.
 * Let's put all the Settled Systems on one planet. What could go wrong?
 * There's a lot of history here. And not the good kind.
 * Come to the Key, you said. It'll be fun, you said. Riiight.
 * My father always said I'd wind up in a place like the Key. I guess he was right.
 * Yeah, just ignore me. I am so a pirate. Yar? That's what they say, right?
 * You can find farms like this all over the Freestar Collective.
 * This is where Barrett found you, right? Welcome home, I guess.
 * I never, ever imagined I'd be in the heart of the Crimson Fleet.
 * You can feel the misery already.
 * House Va'ruun leveled this place. It's never really recovered.
 * The Clinic's a bit of a legend in the medical field.
 * Trident Luxury Lines. They ain't cheap, but underneath all the gold inlay they make really good ships.
 * Taiyo. *chuckle* The mecca for folks that prefer style over substance.
 * Don't tell Walter, but his company can make a hell of a ship.
 * Don't much care for HopeTech ships. Some people swear by them, though, really rugged.
 * Oldest Staryard still in business. Always pumping out ships for the UC to keep the colonies under their thumb.
 * It'll be good to see Vladimir. Wonder if he's found anything.
 * A lot of smart folk graduated here. I feel... out of place.
 * Please, please tell me you aren't going to run the Red Mile.
 * The Red Devils. Lots of stories, terrible stories, about these guys. Of course you ask a UC patriot and they're all heroes.
 * We here for some much deserved R&R? Paradiso certainly lives up to its name.
 * I've always wanted to visit here. I've heard it's, well, charming.
 * To think one man made all of this. Nothing was here until Ron Hope.
 * We've been mining this rock since time immemorial.
 * This is something! You hear about explorers finding old girls like this out there.
 * What is this place? It's not on any surveys I know of.
 * This place has a... colorful history. People here are tough as nails.
 * If you haven't tried some of the wine here, you are missing out.
 * This place looks awfully prosperous.
 * I have to admit it, I missed the old girl. New Atlantis.
 * Been stationed here for years now, and I'm always finding something new.
 * I will say this, New Atlantis is a good place to raise kids.
 * We here for the Lodge?
 * I barely ever visited here before I joined Constellation.
 * sigh* Neon's got nothing on New Atlantis.
 * I don't want to like it, but I gotta admit... New Atlantis is classy.
 * Would you look at that? This place is something else.
 * New Atlantis is gorgeous. But it's all built on lies.
 * The public face of the United Colonies.
 * There's no way in hell I'm letting Cora land here.
 * Lights, glitter, and a whole lot of sin.
 * Neon's got an energy to it like no other.
 * Personally, I think Neon's the heart of the Freestar Collective.
 * If you've got a thirst for something, Neon can deliver.
 * I don't know what's wrong with me, but Neon might be my favorite place to visit.
 * Look out for gangs. Actually, the gangs should look out for us.
 * I don't know if I could ever live in a place like this, but Neon's great to visit.
 * Neon's dangerous, but man can it be a lot of fun.
 * Neon. Where every vice can be indulged, and they make up new vices every Thursday.
 * Look at all those soldiers. Makes you wonder how happy people are if you need that much military to keep it pacified.
 * This place and its history, well, gotta admit it's impressive.
 * You can feel the age and history here.
 * Mars would be a whole lot better to visit if you could just bulldoze this place.
 * Everyone clamors over New Atlantis, but a place like this... This is what the UC is really all about.
 * Cydonia is about as UC as you get. That ain't a compliment.
 * All the soldiers around here, bad place to start trouble.
 * This is where it all began. Where we first started colonizing more than Earth.
 * Being in UC territory always makes me nervous.
 * This place is just dripping with that good ol' United Colonies flavor.
 * Yeah, Akila City. Let's make this quick.
 * I wonder why Solomon named this place Akila? You'd think I know the answer to that. But I don't.
 * Just promise me we ain't going to visit Jacob, all right?
 * Keep your sidearm handy, parts of town can get rough.
 * I spend so little time here these days, I *groan* kind of miss it.
 * Good ol' Akila City. One thing I'll say is it's better than the UC.
 * I hope no one recognizes me here.
 * I wonder what Solomon would think of this place now?
 * Spent most of my life trying to escape this place.
 * Home, sweet home.
 * Just because we can't breathe it, don't mean other things can't.
 * Let's not stay out here too long, space-walks can be dangerous.
 * Well, not every rock is swimming in Nitrogen and O2.
 * Smugglers use world like this to stay off the grid.
 * One little rip and it's all over. So be careful.
 * You wear the suit enough and eventually you don't even notice it.
 * Lemme see, yeah, definitely keep the helmet on here.
 * Could be predators here that can breathe this junk. So eyes open.
 * All that stands between us and certain death is a little fabric. Good feeling, right?
 * Suits reporting all things green. Let's roll.
 * Another dead rock. Plenty of them in the Starfield.
 * Makes you realize how precious life is.
 * There's a certain quiet wonder to planets like this.
 * No organics near here at all.
 * This place... it's a little boring.
 * It's got a certain charm to it.
 * Listen. We're all alone here.
 * Not much to see around here.
 * No life signs nearby. Just another dead rock.
 * Minerals can be good on planets like this.
 * Landing on new planets like this never gets old.
 * I think I set up an outpost on a planet like this once...
 * As wonderful as living worlds are... look out for predators.
 * You never know what you'll find. This place is... *sigh*
 * Some people go their whole life without... This...
 * The first step on a new world full of life and the unknown. Mmm...
 * Looks like organics aren't going to be a problem here.
 * Planets like these are my favorite.
 * Life in all its many colored glory.
 * Breathe that in. Planets like this are precious.

Shortcut

 * Got an opening over there.
 * Wonder where this leads?
 * Might be a shortcut over here.
 * Some sort of opening.
 * Might be a more discreet way through here.
 * And where do you go, my little opening friend?
 * Another way through here.
 * Might be some goodies or a short cut through here.
 * Spotted you. Another path over there.
 * In my experience, it always pays to go in through the side passage.
 * You catch that passage?
 * And where do you go?
 * Not sure what that connects to. Maybe a super secret Chunks branch.
 * This side passage might lead someplace interesting.
 * Got another option with the passage over there.

Found Valuable

 * If I may... *clears throat* Cha-ching.
 * Thank you for your deposit to the Cora Coe book fund.
 * I could always use some more of that.
 * And some times things just go your way.
 * Looks valuable. Happy to help shoulder this one. Or not. Heh.
 * Finding valuable stuff like this, for some reason, never gets old.
 * Thank you very kindly.
 * More this and less pew pew.
 * Just goes to show you that sometimes the good guys come out ahead.
 * Every time I see something like this I think tuition, down payment on a home one day... Man, I'm getting old.
 * Looks like things are going our way.
 * Who doesn't like loot? Am I right?
 * Moments like this are too few and far between.
 * Jack. Pot. Yes.
 * If you're too tired to pick up those valuables, I will happily help out. I know, what a guy, right?

Starborn Site

 * Just look at it. Who exactly built this? I mean, did the Starborn build it?
 * This mean you're going to get a new cosmic power? How about getting Cora to go to sleep at her bedtime? Naw. Too powerful.
 * I can't wait to see what happens. It's all kind of... well, amazing.
 * This whole temple... It just blows my mind. Truly.
 * I could spend years, literal years, digging into the Starborn. The secret of the century. Hell, millennia.
 * Wonder what we'll find in this temple?
 * How long have these ruins been here? Millennia? So much we don't know.
 * If I didn't know any better I'd say this is a sign of alien life. Hell, it may still be a sign of that.
 * One of these times I'm bringing Cora. I just have to.
 * This temple... This is really the heart of what Constellation is all about.
 * You ever get the feeling you're living through history? Our time here -- you better believe there will be novels about it.
 * I just can't get over how... stunning... just stunning these Temples are.
 * We know more -- a lot more -- than we did. But looking at the Temple... just so many more questions.
 * So top super power you're hoping for? Me: teleportation. Could get out of a lot of scrapes with that one.
 * I don't think this right here could ever get old.

Mine

 * I bet this takes you back.
 * If all miners are like you, then I am going to watch my step around here.
 * Looks like this is your home turf. Eh, dusty?
 * Mining's a hard life. It's... Well, you would know better than I.
 * So if you've been ready to bust out your encyclopedic knowledge of mining: now's your chance.
 * There can be very, very good money in mining.
 * Pretty big mining operation here. Right?
 * I bet you never, ever miss this life. Or do you?
 * Is it dangerous down here? You're the expert.
 * If you brought your cutter, go ahead and show me your moves, dusty.
 * I don't know how stable it is down here. But, well, be careful.
 * It takes an insane amount of resources to keep the Settled Systems going. So places like this are never going away.
 * I wonder how much it costs to set up a mining operation like this?
 * Cora's not much into geology. She's more into astrophysics. Well, today, at least.
 * Might be some valuable, lightly defended minerals around. Just saying.

Research Facility

 * Most labs you come across aren't bad. Lots of good science out there.
 * Labs like this are like an amusement park for Cora.
 * I never had a head for science. I have no idea where Cora got her smarts.
 * What flavor of science do they do here?
 * Sarah and Barrett love to geek out about places like this. Not my style.
 * It's kind of reassuring, no matter how much we figure out - there's still so much unknown out there.
 * We got ourselves a nice little lab here.
 * We're probably trespassing. So, there's that.
 * Hopefully they won't mind us poking around at their science... stuff.
 * So many labs around doing all manner of good and ill.
 * You can't stop progress. Science always marches on.
 * We are one powerfully curious species. Kind of endearing.
 * Labs like this usually have security. Just a heads up.
 * Cora's got the brains to work in a place like this. Not sure if she will, though.

Industrial Site

 * That's the smell of industry there.
 * Wonder what they're building here.
 * Industrial operations like this often have security.
 * Usually places like this are bankrolled by some corrupt corporation or another. I have no problem hurting their bottom line.
 * Pretty typical factory type dealio.
 * Odds are good there's some sort of security. Corporations don't like people playing with their toys.
 * And the factories keep churning. They're reliable that way.
 * Usually industrial complexes like this are worth rummaging through.
 * I wonder what flavor of corporate greed this is catering to?
 * Nice little operation they got here. If you want to explore, I certainly won't object.
 * What you think they make here?
 * Sometimes I wonder if there are more machines than humans out here.
 * That there is the steady, relentless, soul-crushing hum of industry. Yay.
 * I am 100% on board purloining anything we need from here.
 * I just hope Cora don't wind up working for a corporation churning out factories doing who knows what. Nah, she's too smart for that.

Abandoned Ship

 * Derelicts litter the Settled Systems.
 * My greatest fear is one day Cora and I wind up in a boat like this. Just floating. Forever.
 * There's a million reasons a ship can wind up like this. Seldom pleasant.
 * Derelicts always make me think we're just one really tiny hunk of metal away from a tragedy like this.
 * Never, ever take space for granted. When you do: that's when you wind up like this ship.
 * Usually there's good salvage on derelicts. If you can stomach it.
 * Wonder what got this ship?
 * Derelicts like this are like the tombs of space. Space tombs. That sounds cool, right?
 * We're all just one accident away from a fate like this. You're welcome for the cheery observation.
 * I've come across boats like this more times than I can count. *sigh*
 * No signs of life. Empty.
 * Wonder what took the ship out?
 * Just once I want to explore a place like this and in the last room: surprise! "Happy Birthday, Sam!" And cake. The cake is a must.
 * Since the very first days of us launching hunks of metal into space, a certain percentage wind up just like this.
 * Space is a harsh mistress.

Abandoned Military Site

 * My favorite kind of military installation: abandoned.
 * Militaries don't abandon places like this without a good reason. Hmmm.
 * Wonder why the grunts left here?
 * Hopefully we don't find a pile of bodies. Occupational hazard exploring bases like this.
 * You find a lot of empty and abandoned exploring. The stories are sometimes heart-breaking.
 * I wonder which side set this military base up?
 * Might be some unmanned defenses, but this base seems safe enough now.
 * Hope all the grunts made it out of here in one piece.
 * Sometimes you find some stray ordinance in a place like this. Usually, it's picked clean though.
 * There's got to be a reason they left a perfectly good base like this. Probably a sad reason.
 * Whoever was here, left in a hurry... Or never left at all.
 * Sadly common sight. Dead military bases.
 * There's so much space out there... I don't know why we can't get our act together and live in peace. We shouldn't need places like this.
 * Having lived in the UC for many years, soldiers are all the same, really. I hope whoever lived here made it out okay.
 * Might be some decent salvage here. Military bases can be good that way.

Cave

 * Me and my buddies used to spelunk in my misspent youth. Is that a word?
 * A good empty cave can be fun. Keyword there: empty.
 * Cora was big into rock collecting when she was... 8? Not so much any more.
 * Caves can be a real good place to hole up.
 * As long as there aren't any beasties, a cave can be an explorer's best friend.
 * If we get ourselves a nice cozy campfire, you can have a good time in a cave.
 * I hope this place is tectonically sound...
 * I wonder if we're alone in here.
 * I keep wondering if one day some explorer's going to find alien writing in a cave like this.
 * Smugglers use caves like this everywhere. Sometimes you get lucky and find the damnedest things around.
 * You might be able to break out those mining skills in a cave like this. Show me what you got.
 * We should bring Cora back here some time. Tell ghost stories. I think she's still into that.
 * You like caves? I like caves. Honestly, I might love caves. Is that weird?
 * I wonder if there's anything in here?
 * Spelunking can be a lot of fun. Nature can be just beautiful.

Cargo Facility

 * Look at all the containers. Might be something good around here.
 * Wonder what sort of cargo they store here?
 * Some sort of supply depot. Or storage.
 * Usually there's a computer around places like this that says what's what.
 * Might be some security around. Usually is in a cargo facility.
 * I hope no one minds we take a look-see.
 * Usually cargo facilities are full of boring stuff. But you can get lucky.
 * If the stars align, I have been known to... explore... places like this.
 * Wonder what they stored here?
 * Just once I want to find a cargo facility filled to the brim with Single Malt Bourbon. Once I find it, that's it - I'm retiring. It won't get better than that.
 * There's got to be some sort manifest around. Or we can just blindly open things. That works, too.
 * Cargo. That means security of some flavor. Or, it's just free candy lying around.
 * I wonder who's storing what here.
 * Nice little cargo facility here. Might be worth a look.
 * Don't get your hopes up. Most cargo facilities are full of boring stuff. Like ball bearings.

Abandoned Site

 * Looks like we're the first folk that have been here in a good spell.
 * Seems empty. For a long time, too.
 * You find places like this abandoned all over.
 * Nobody around. Might be able to find some salvage about.
 * Hello? Anyone? Yeah. Nobody.
 * We got ourselves some good old fashion quiet.
 * No signs of humans about. Should be safe. Boring maybe, but definitely safe.
 * Space is dangerous. All sorts of places had to be abandoned for one reason or another.
 * I wonder how long it's been that someone's set foot here?
 * I always wonder when I find a place like this, what happened?
 * There's a kind of serenity to an abandoned place like this.
 * I hope whoever lived here long ago got out okay. Usually they don't. But hey, a man can hope.
 * Empty as the grave. Hopefully not literally.
 * Nobody about. Except ghosts, if you believe in that malarkey.
 * Sometimes I let Cora explore places like this. The kid's got sharp eyes.

Zealot Site

 * Oookay. Zealot territory. Not good, the very opposite of good.
 * Zealots are scary customers. Fanatical and well-armed.
 * What is Var'ruun doing here? Who the hell knows.
 * Everyone's scared of House Var'ruun. For damned good reasons.
 * Unless we have to, have to be here we should leave. Zealots.
 * Zealots and why they do what they do is one mystery I don't even want to touch.
 * Great more blather about the Great Serpent this, and the Great Serpent that.
 * What is wrong with Zealots? Like seriously, what?
 * We should just leave. There's never a good reason to tangle with the Zealots.
 * Closest I've ever come to dying was fighting a Zealot. Not keen on a repeat.
 * The Zealots are mean customers. And crazy. I mentioned that, right?
 * Constellation is theoretically neutral with House Var'ruun. Not that that helps us one god-damned bit in the field.
 * I ain't afraid to say it: the Zealots scare me.
 * I just wish Var'ruun would leave us the hell alone.
 * We got to be careful. Veeery careful with Zealots about.

UC Site

 * UC territory. At least they'll be friendly.
 * I always expect the UC to gun for me just because I'm a Coe.
 * Sarah would love this. She's just a happy little UC clam. Not me, though.
 * Look at all that order. Means the UC live here.
 * I wonder what type of UC drones live here?
 * Before Cora and I moved to New Atlantis, I... well... hated the UC. But they ain't all bad.
 * UC's about. I can smell the bureaucracy. Hope your permits are in order.
 * Friendly territory. Sort of. UC.
 * I don't get why people would live under the yoke of the UC.
 * UC territory. Safe. Safe and boring.
 * We have wandered into UC turf. So the greatest threat are paper cuts. You know, from the bureaucracy? Yeah, I could tell that was a stretch.
 * It's funny how Cora thinks the UC's just fine. Maybe we should spend more time in Akila City.
 * Looks like UC territory. So, we should be safe at least.
 * Looks like the UC. Not really a fan, but there's far, far worse out there.
 * I still can't believe the Freestar stood toe-to-toe with the UC.

Spacer Site

 * Spacers. Great.
 * Spacers are total scum.
 * Well, Spacer's are near. Usually means loot, and blood.
 * It takes a certain type of person to go Spacer. Usually psychotic.
 * I heard that Spacers were a problem even back in Solomon's day.
 * We got ourselves a damned Spacer nest.
 * Expect more Spacers. Because you can't swing a stick without hitting those bottom feeders some days.
 * The only saving grace with Spacers is they ain't organized. Like, at all.
 * You can almost smell Spacers before you see them.
 * Only positive about Spacers is they usually have loot. Just don't think too hard on where they got it from.
 * We got Spacers nearby. Happy times.
 * As threats go, Spacers aren't even close to top of the list. But they are responsible for all manner of miseries.
 * It's Spacers. It's always Spacers.
 * We got a Spacer infestation. Call the exterminator. Hmm... That's us, right?
 * Unless I'm very much mistaken, Spacers are about. And I'd seriously love to be mistaken.

Smuggler Site

 * Smuggler's are about. Might be some goodies about.
 * Smugglers don't take too kindly with folk poking around their turf.
 * A lot of smugglers are just down on their luck. So maybe a little live and let live?
 * All different types of smugglers. Some ain't half bad. Some are little better than Crimson Fleet.
 * Wonder what sort of contraband these smugglers are running?
 * Smugglers are as common as fleas.
 * Smugglers about. Sometimes they're friendly. Or close to it.
 * Smugglers would be wise to not tangle with us.
 * Looks like a smuggler den. Warren? Nest? Whatever you call it, smugglers are near.
 * Some smugglers are not bad folk. Just trying to make a living, really.
 * I knew quite a few smugglers back in the day. They know how to party. *chuckle*
 * I wonder what flavor of smuggler lives here. Maybe cherry vanilla?
 * Smugglers have been known to defend their turf hard. So, let's not get too careless.
 * Given everything I've dealt with, smugglers just don't scare me.
 * Even smugglers might take a shot at you if you invade their turf.

Syndicate Site

 * Whew boy. Seokguh Syndicate's here. Watch your back. And your front. Pretty much everywhere.
 * Damned Syndicate is about. I'm so sick of them.
 * Syndicate's a big problem in Neon. But they've been spreading like a rash.
 * Shit. We got the Syndicate around. Total scum.
 * Seokguh is about. Damn it. I think I'm still on their shit list. Old history.
 * Seokguh is about. Rangers should be told about it.
 * The Freestar Collective needs to get into gear and take care of the Seokguh Syndicate before they become a big, big problem.
 * If we don't have to be here, we should leave. Tangling with the Seokguh can go sideways fast.
 * No, no, no. Seokguh's here.
 * We got Seokguh here. Not good.
 * If Benjamin Bayu did a god damned thing, Seokguh would've been dealt with long ago.
 * Well, bad news is the Seokguh are about. Good news is, we might be able to end some of the bastards.
 * Syndicate's here. That takes me back. Not in a good way.
 * I don't know what's worse... Seokguh or the Crimson Fleet. They both... suck.
 * This is Seokguh Syndicate turf. They're vicious and dangerous.

Robot Site

 * Should be plenty of mechanical parts around.
 * Robots about, for sure.
 * I hope the robots are the friendly Vasco kind. Instead of running battle programming.
 * A robot's only as useful or friendly as its programming.
 * We got some ace programmers in the Freestar. They can do some amazing things with robots.
 * We should've brought Vasco here for a family reunion.
 * Some robots work around here. Signs are everywhere.
 * Robots can be incredibly handy to have around.
 * I used to pretend to be a funny robot for Cora when she was young. Mr. Beep. Used to crack her up.
 * Wonder what flavor of programming the robots around here are running.
 * Robots are only as friendly and helpful as they're programmed to be.
 * Whoever programmed Vasco did a bang up job. Most robots are boring, really.
 * Wonder what sort of robots are scurrying around here?
 * I like robots. Unless they're shooting at me. Then I like them less.
 * Robots are around. You can always tell.

Freestar Site

 * Freestar Collective's about. No doubt about it.
 * We got friendlies here. My kind of friendlies.
 * Wonder what the Freestar are doing here?
 * We can keep our guns holstered. Freestar Collective turf means we won't need it.
 * We took a beating in the Colony War, but the Freestar's still standing.
 * Wonder who lives here? Freestar for sure, though.
 * Just call me Solomon around here. Sometimes Freestar get downright embarrassing about meeting a Coe.
 * Now this is my kind of people. Freestar.
 * Constellation's supposed to be neutral, but I'm always happiest in Freestar territory.
 * deep sigh* Nice to come across good folk for once.
 * Sometimes it feels the deck is stacked against us Freestar. But we're fighting for something we believe in. Unlike the UC.
 * Got to love the Freestar Collective. Am I right?
 * Freestar Collective turf, definitely.
 * I think the Freestar Collective bounced back from the Colony War better than the UC.
 * You'll find Freestar Collective folk like this all over the place. We're survivors.

Ecliptic Site

 * Whew boy. Ecliptic's around. Watch out.
 * I've had plenty of fire fights with Ecliptic. They're tough customers.
 * Wonder what Ecliptic's doing here. Nothing good, that's for sure.
 * Ecliptic's bad news. Well-armed, usually veterans. And they love to shoot first.
 * Ecliptic are around. Guaranteed.
 * Sarah says Constellation shouldn't provoke Ecliptic. I know why, but we got to defend ourselves, right?
 * I know a friend who's convinced Ecliptic's someone's cat's paw. The question is... who?
 * Ecliptic. Expect heavy resistance.
 * You can just tell Ecliptic's here. Stay frosty.
 * When I was younger and way, way dumber Ecliptic tried to recruit me. Thank god, I turned them down.
 * Ecliptic are just... terrible. Rotten, murderous...
 * Maybe let's not tell Cora about the Ecliptic here. She worries about me sometimes, bless her.
 * I can't think of a single nice thing to say about Ecliptic.
 * sigh* Ecliptic. They are dangerous.
 * Well, Ecliptic are based here. They have some serious goodies if you can take 'em out.

Crimson Fleet Site

 * Great. The Crimson Fleet. My favorite people. Totally. Pick up on the sarcasm?
 * Crimson Fleet's been marauding through here. Great.
 * I know you're all buddy buddy with the Crimson Fleet, but it doesn't mean I gotta like it.
 * I mean I feel for the original Crimson Fleet. They were just prisoners trying to get free. But now...?
 * Crimson Fleet. And I bet not a single one has a parrot. Or an eye patch, even.
 * I just wish the Crimson Fleet were the good kind of pirates. Sea chanties and walkin' the plank. Instead, murderous scum.
 * Only a matter of time before SysDef clears the last of the Crimson Fleet. Thanks to you.
 * Watch your back, the Crimson Fleet's in town.
 * Great. The Crimson Fleet. Need I say more?
 * Great job, UC. Put all of the worst criminals in one basket. What could go wrong?
 * Crimson Fleet's in town. Just great.
 * I've dealt with the Crimson Fleet enough for three lifetimes.
 * I still can't believe you work with the Crimson Fleet. *sigh* Well, must be happy your "buddies" are around.
 * Crimson Fleet's bad news. Just about the worst.
 * You can tell from the stink and just... everything... damned Crimson Fleet's around.

Alien Site

 * Wonder what sort of critters live here?
 * Wonder how friendly the lifeforms are here?
 * Life's all over the Settled Systems.
 * Something lives or lived here. Might be some good organic compounds we can harvest.
 * Something's nesting here. Might pay to be careful.
 * After dealing with Ashta, alien life forms don't scare me much.
 * Wonder if we got the friendly type of beasties here or the other kind?
 * That... aroma. That means some critters live here. Some very fragrant critters.
 * Even friendly critters don't like humans in their territory.
 * You never can tell what you'll find in a critter lair.
 * Cora loves it when I take pictures of alien nests and such. I guess, whatever floats your boat.
 * Doctors go crazy for critter parts. All sorts of applications.
 * Another day, another nest.
 * This is something's territory. Hopefully small bunnies. That would be nice for a change.
 * Wonder what sort of beasty lives here?

Bounty Hunters

 * Hope you don't got a mark on you.
 * Never much cared for bounty hunters.
 * As a matter of practice, I try and give bounty hunters plenty of space.
 * Damned bounty hunters. Keep an eye out.
 * Bounty hunters are a necessary evil.
 * Too many times I've seen bounty hunters hurt or kill innocents.
 * There are some, very few, decent bounty hunters. The rest are glorified murderers.
 * You never can tell what a bounty hunter will do.
 * I wish the Freestar Collective would outlaw bounty hunters. Let the Rangers take care of it.
 * Bounty hunters sometimes have some good loot around. Just saying.
 * The difference between spacers and bounty hunters is all too often non-existent.
 * Great. Bounty hunters.
 * Bounty hunters are the scum of the Settled Systems.
 * The Trackers Alliance should be flat out illegal.
 * Let's do what we need to and get gone. Bounty hunters are never good news.
