Ambient dialogue[edit]

Leeza:There, I fixed it. You won't be giving me any more trouble.

Leeza:Hmm, that doesn't seem right...

Genius (1):So, there we were, and all I could think to do was pull out my septipincers and latch onto its nose with them. It screamed and ran.

Genius (2):I've heard this story. It doesn't make you the foremost authority on septipincer techniques.

Genius (1):Of course it does. Apart from my years of study, I've had in-the-field experience. Do NOT discount my expertise!

Genius (1):My krewe's on the verge of a major discovery in the field of sensometric inspeculation.

Genius (2):No kidding? Mine too. Except we're doing sensometric inspeculation with a focus on fungal superbodies.

Genius (1):Really? Fungal superbodies? Interesting. Excuse me. I think I hear my lab manager calling me.

Genius (1):Did you get that "you know what" we need back at the "you know where?"

Genius (2):I can't talk about it here. I'm expecting “you know who" to come by any minute.

Genius (1):Okay. I'll be back at "you know where" doing "you know what” until "you know when."

Genius (1):I found it, the "you know what." It won't be too hard to acquire.

Genius (2):Shhhh. Keep your voice down. "You know who" could have agents anywhere. Well, where is it?

Genius (1):Not here. Meet me later, "you know where." We'll be able to talk freely then.

Local (1):I need to go to the lab today.

Local (2):Pop, you don't work at the lab anymore. Remember? You retired.

Local (1):Idiot. I go to the lab in my head. We're changing theworld there.

DEL-X99:(BEEP) Target–located. Stand–by–for–message.

Krewe Member Eink:Excelsior! I love getting messages.

DEL-X99:Eink, I–saw–you–today–outside–the–lab. Please–use–more–discretion–when–testing–your–cloth–of–invisibility. Fha.

Krewe Member Eink:I guess my cloth of invisibility still needs more work. Thank goodness it wasn't cold out.

DEL-X99:(whistle)

DEL-X99:(BEEP) Target–located. Stand–by–for–message.

Krewe Member Hama:I'm all ears.

DEL-X99:Dear–Hama. I–insist–you–suspend–work–on–your–Spectragon–forthwith. The–Spectragon–was–my–idea.

DEL-X99:I–am–the–sole–inventor. You–will–never–amount–to–anything–more–than–an–assistant–to–a–true–genius.Tama

DEL-X99:Do–you–wish–to–respond?

Krewe Member Hama:Give me a moment to gather and sharpen my thoughts.

DEL-X99:(BEEP) Target–located. Stand–by–for–message.

Krewe Member Swip:A message for me? How wonderful.

DEL-X99:Dear–Swip, you–are–a–cheat–and–a–coward. I–know–it–was–you–who–stole–the–destrosphere–from–my–lab.

DEL-X99:You–cannot–thieve–your–way–to–success. Return–it–post–haste! Give–my–regards–to–your–DEL-X99.Happ

Krewe Member Swip:That jackal! How dare he impugn me with lies? I should throttle him. DEL-X99, prepare to reply.

DEL-X99:Reply–sent. That–jackal. How–dare–he–impugn–me–with–lies. I–should–throttle–him. DEL-X99–returns–regards.

DEL-X99:(BEEP) Target–located. Stand–by–for–message.

DEL-X99:Dear–Zica, your–brilliance–is–radiant–like–the–sun. Quit–that–lab. You–deserve–your–own.

DEL-X99:To–be–your–assistant–would–grant–me–everlasting–happiness. Signed: an–admirer.

Krewe Member Zica:Oh my. Who sent this message?

DEL-X99:Error. Sender–name–not–found.

Krewe Member Zica:Oh well. I don't have time for such nonsense.

Laborer (1):Looks like they filled the MuseKrewe. They hired one of my friends.

Laborer (2):I wanted a spot on that krewe, but I didn't get my name on the list early enough.

Laborer (1):When it comes to krewes like Muse, you snooze, you lose.

Laborer (2):Say that three times fast.

Laborer (1):I've heard rumors that theInquest is recruiting.

Laborer (2):I couldn't work for them, no matter how bored or hungry. My tolerance of evil is too low.

Laborer (1):They can't be that bad. Genius turned evil is still genius.

Laborer (1):It's always the same thing. Teleportation gates, blasting rods, and golems. These geniuses have limited imagination.

Laborer (2):What are you talking about? What could be more interesting?

Laborer (1):I can't think of anything, but the krewe geniuses should. They need to dazzle me more.

Laborer (1):I'm particularly fascinated by the fact that the world's smallest sentient race is also its most intelligent

Laborer (2):What fascinates you about it? It seems fairly elementary to me. We're the top pf the evolution chain.

Laborer (2):We're what happens when you eliminate weakness and waste. We're concentrated magnificence.

Laborer (1):My son insists he wants to work at the Incinergen Labs when he gets out of school.

Laborer (2):He's just saying that to assert his independence. He'll come around.

Laborer (1):I hope not. Maybe he'd learn he should start listening to me.

Xann:Who's this worker you're dating?

Alli:He finished third inDynamics, father. You'll like him.

Xann:Why didn't he finish first?

Alli:TheIncinergen krewe had already recruited him. His priorities changed.

Xann:Hmph. His priorities changed.

Alli:He'll be here any minute, father. Please be hospitable.

Xann:Oh, I'll be very hospitable.

Crabb:Zapilicious greetings, Alli. What's cracking? You must be Papa Xann. I'm Crabb of the Incinergen krewe.

Xann:Where are you taking my daughter, Crabb?

Crabb:Sir, I thought we'd go into the city for dinner at this littlehuman place I know.

Xann:Human food? Zapil-ick!

Alli:We'd better get going, Crabb. See you later, father.

Crabb:Keep it snapping, Papa Xann. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Alli. She's my own special phosphoradorable flower.

Xann:Oh, I'm not worried.

Xann:DOM-555i, engage. Initiate chaperone sequence.

Alli:Father!

Xann:You geniuses have a good time.

DOM-555i:Hands—where—I—can—see—them—at—all—times.

Statics Expert:I've got the first problem. Blaze contamination. How do we clean up after a spill of magical energy.

Dynamics Expert:Easy. We create negative-field golems that soak up spilled magic and then transport themselves to disposal sites.

Synergetics Expert:That won't work. Instead, we use ionomasticators that render the magic inert. Brilliant. Hold on. I need to write this down.

Dynamics Expert:I know theEternal Alchemy requires that all things have purpose, but I fail to see it for all beings.

Statics Expert:Such as our esteemedSynergism colleague?

Dynamics Expert:Quite so.

Synergetics Expert:Surely, if we put out formidable minds to work on these problems, we can spark solutions.

Dynamics Expert:I'm willing to lend my extensive expertise in kinematicgolemancy to the discussion, though I can't stay long.

Statics Expert:Brainstorming rarely solves anything. We have to build a solution from the foundation up.

Progeny (1):I heard your father made another prize-winning golem sub-harmonizer.

Progeny (2):Don't tell anyone, but I've been fixing his prototypes. He has really good ideas but is really bad at numbers.

Progeny (1):Really? You know, that could get you a spot on almost any krewe.

Progeny (2):(laughs) Oh, I don’t need a little polishing on someone else's experiment to guarantee my career.

Lab Attendant:Hello! I have an amazing opportunity that you cannot pass up. My krewe has just one slot left and–

Progeny:Get a job.

Lab Attendant:I have a job! A great job on a krewe doing ground-shaking work in golem progeneration. You get a job!

Lab Attendant (1):There's been a sighting. I saw the old genius myself.

Lab Attendant (2):You're kidding, right? He hasn't come out of his lab for years. You sure it wasn't hisghost?

Lab Attendant (1):He was definitely flesh and blood. He had some of his krewe with him too. They looked pale and tired.

Lab Apprentice (1):I don't know how you work with him. He's so incredibly old. His memory started going years ago. It has to be long gone by now.

Lab Apprentice (2):It is, so he keeps meticulous notes of everything.

Lab Apprentice (1):Everything?

Lab Apprentice (2):Everything cross-referenced. Once a week, I have to add in new content.

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:Well, that was an interesting turn of events.

Peacemaker Krabb:Interesting?

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:Yes. Let's call it an "unforeseen variable in a routine training exercise."

Peacemaker Krabb:I think you're an "unforeseen variable."

Peacemaker Chief Grumm checking out the golems

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:Ah, truly a thing of genius.

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:Excellent work!

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:Yes yes! Quite impervious.

Peacemaker Chief Grumm:The product of a genius mind.
