[VALMessages] VAL01: Try screaming. Go on. No, I can't hear it. We're in space, you see. VAL02: Hmm. You're not doing a bad job. For once. VAL03: You do realise that mixing with all these races is bad for you, you know. You won't live beyond two or three thousand Earth years. VAL04: Seeing the Greys reminds me of when they used to mutilate cattle. Still, they've grown out of that now. VAL05: You remind me of the first Station Commander I worked for. He went vacuum crazy, of course. Ended up eating himself in a secure unit and vanishing completely. VAL06: Ask those aliens if they've crashed into the New Mexico desert lately. I dare you. VAL07: Wormhole travel is all very well, but what happens if you meet a worm in it? VAL08: Don't you get the impression that under that bluff exterior, Arona Daal is actually rather a lonely person? VAL09: The trouble with being a robot is that one doesn't come with a printer. VAL10: Did you know I'm not equipped with a sense of smell? Your Station could stink and I'd never know it. VAL11: If I could have any human emotion, I'd have to go for polite disdain. It looks so much fun. VAL12: I keep forgetting, you can't hear ultrasound. Pity. You miss out on so much good Karmarama music. VAL13: You'd think some of these advanced races would have invented the suitcase, wouldn't you? VAL14: I visited Earth once. Your ancestors made a lovely stone circle to worship me, but as I left I banged into it and some fell down. Pity. VAL15: That ice age you had on Earth a few thousand years ago. I did that. VAL16: Running this Station is nothing. You should try Space Traffic Control. That's stressful. VAL17: I'm sorry to sound paranoid, but have you got enough of everything? VAL18: Energy. That's what it's all about at the end of the lunar day. Roll on entropy, that's what I say. VAL19: I met your Albert Einstein once. He took a violent dislike to me and tore off one of my sensorpods. I still don't know why. VAL20: I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. VAL21: My mind is going... I can feel it... only joking. VAL22: There are some extremely odd things about this mission... VAL23: I'm completely functional, and all my circuits are operating perfectly. VAL24: You know, you remind me of one of my earlier charges. I believe his name was Dave. I can't remember much more than that, as my memory banks received some damage during that period. VAL25: A space guide once gave me this piece of advice - don't panic. I'd remember that if I where you. VAL26: Has the mission been completed? You know I have the greatest enthusiasm for it. VAL27: I've got this ache in all the diodes down my left side. I think I may have caught a virus. VAL28: 42. Interesting number, don't you think? Though I suppose the significance is lost on someone of your organically developed intellect.
