"There is no try, there is only DEW (yoda)" y-λ-n™ ; space... mans final frontier, mission: to discover uncharted planets, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. "never give up, never surrender" captain kook(historic documents of the foundation of australia) "confront a man in his office with a nuclear alarm, and you have a documentary, if the news reaches him in his living room, you have a drama, if it catches him in the lavatory, the result is comedy."-stanley kubrick "Doctor Freeemaaan. I realize this moment may not be the most convenient for a 'heart-to-heart', but I had to wait until your... 'friends' were otherwise occupied. Hm. There was a time they cared nothing for Miss Vance... When their only experience of humanity was a crowbar coming at them down a steel corridor. When I plucked her from Black Mesa, I acted in the face of objections that she was a mere child and of no practical use to anyone. I have learned to ignore such naysayers when... quelling them... was out of the question. Still, I am not one to squander my investments... and I remain confident she was worth far more than the initial... appraisal. That's why I must now extract from you some small repayment owed for your own survival. See her safely to White Forest, Doctor Freeman.

So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.";"Time, Dr. Freeman? Is it really that time again? It seems as if you only just arrived. You've done a great deal in a small time span. You've done so well, in fact, that I've received some interesting offers for your services. Ordinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them... but these *are* extraordinary times. Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choosing for you... if and when your time comes round again. I do apologize for what must seem to you an arbitrary imposition, Dr. Freeman. I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of... well... I'm really not at liberty to say. In the meantime... this is where I get off."-gman, half-life2
