Rommie quotes from Andromeda

Dylan may not be a god, but on this ship, I am.

What is it Rev Bem always says? The universe doesn't always give you what you want. It gives you what you need.

Harper, I had no idea you were such a cunning linguist.

Twenty worlds, joined into a single structure, manipulated by artificial gravity and powered by an miniature sun. I guess it's true what they say: No matter how powerful you are, there's always someone bigger and stronger than you – I just never thought it applied to me.

Dylan

Talking to yourself is the first sign of mental collapse.

[simultaneously as avatar and hologram] Only for wetware.

Which explains why the two fish-necks get to hang out with the hot chick with the lungs. In fact, I think I will sit next to the lung lady.

And create a major diplomatic incident? I don't think so.

Beka

What if they start shooting? How am I supposed to run in a dress?

Good heavens! What kind of dinner parties have you been to?

Beka

So, what you're saying is that you randomly chose a bunch of human female features, you mixed them all up, and this was the first face that you came up with?

I may have experimented with a few options.

Beka

Define "a few".

Beka

I knew it!

VX, I have learned many things from interfacing with humans. Including one particulary useful phrase. "Go To Hell".

I killed him, Dylan. I loved him, and I killed him. [Crying]

Dylan

You had no choice.

No, I didn't. Because I'm a warship, and warships only know how to do one thing, and that's kill. We don't have hearts. We don't have empathy. We're killers. We're attack dogs. And I'm afraid. The Balance of Judgment went insane, the Pax Magellanic went insane, and I don't want that to happen to me.

Dylan

You're forgetting something. The Balance of Judgment had no captain, no crew. The Pax lost her captain. Why do you think warships have captains in the first place? I'm your heart, Rommie. I always will be.

[Calming Down a bit] These physical reactions. I didn't know Harper was so good.

Dylan

The Commonwealth needs you, Andromeda. The crew needs you. I need you. So, permission to chop yourself into pieces is officially denied.

I deployed Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Dylan

How are the lads?

Efficient, as usual. They drove off the first wave of the Magog assault ships.

Dylan

Yeah, but the Magog can always send more. Magog suck.

Peerpoint Drift is a den of thieves. I say let the Than blow them up.

Dylan

Well, that is why you are not conducting the negotiations.

Triagonal, prismatic, quartz crystal. Trace elements of vanadium, chromium, manganese, and cobalt. Eighty-two-point-two-five grams. I wonder how many of these fake Hearts are out there. I lost count at three.

Dylan

You never lose count of anything. I mean I assume you could tell the difference the whole time.

Of course. Harper is sweet, but he still believes pretty much anything I tell him. (as if to Harper) Oh, I'm sorry. I may have a brain the size of a planet, but I can't tell the difference between one pretty rock and another.

Friends? That's crazy! AI's don't have any…

Any what? Emotions? You'd be surprised.

I gave you my best offer. You have 73 seconds to change my mind.

73 seconds, huh? That sounds about right.
