"Get that jelly mould out of here!"
"Everyone knows who I am, but do they know who they are?"
"Maybe you should do what you do best - run and hide."
"I'm not letting anyone else get hurt on my behalf, okay?"
"Violence is merely a tool."
"What would you know about where I'm from?"
"Us cowpokes, we take it as it comes."
"You come from a world of rules and laws. This place is indifferent to all of that. I do not think you would be willing to do what it takes to survive here."
"The question is, will you still want the same things when you have become a different animal altogether?"
"I know that it can't have been easy for you, what with all the murder and dirt."
"I think this conversation would benefit from some actual ideas."
"You saved me!"
"How do you live like this?"
"Now, that right there is the closest thing we've had to an honest exchange so far."
"I come from a place where the world is what you make of it."
"Everyone wants to save the world. They just disagree on how."
"The things I'm willing to do for you never cease to amaze me."
"You might be the only one of my invites that actually showed up!"
"You smell good."
"That was weird, right?"
"Trust doesn't come easily to those of us with a guilty conscience."
"When it comes to leadership these days, dangerous is what they call a prerequisite."
"Somebody's got to step up and bring some order around here."
"In my experience, the apple tends not to fall too far from the tree. Is that true in your case?"
"There's always some new little faction, isn't there?"
"Hypocrisy is like violence in the movies; if you only let the bad guys use it, the bad guys win."
"Our test subjects were less compliant than we anticipated."
"Your ignorance cannot excuse your cruelty."
"Such a display of loyalty! You don't see that much anymore."
"The future of humanity comes down to one word: management."
"What? No! When you put it like that, it sounds downright morally questionable!"
"War? War never changes."
"You see what this place does to people?"
"Maybe you can stop them, maybe you can't. Maybe all you can do is try."

He selected the first EM weapon that he could get his hands on, checked it over and decided that this would be the best option if he had to use one even if the pirates wouldn't show them the same curtesy. Weapon in hand he hurried back to the makeshift lab to check in on the sample and the progress that it was making. He needed to know more about the creature. "In the lab with the sample waiting for it to analyze. I've acquired the EM rifle." He informed over the nearest intercom. It seemed that now was the moment of truth as the humans so often liked to phrase it. Those pirates were going to come through here and they were going to have to do their best to stop them causing too much damage.
"But, Captain... the parasite." He realized that they had gotten into a very dangerous situation. If these raiders managed to get infected and carried it to other planets... a good portion of humanity could be wiped out. He quickly snatched up the blood sample from the floor and rushed it to the make-shift lab to get the processing started so that it could be analyzed quickly once the problem at hand was dealt with. With the sample cooking he hurried into the other room to find a weapon to prepare to defend them. Normally it was against his programming to harm a human, but there were some cases in which he could act, and this was one of them. Still, he would try to resolve it peacefully until he was left with no other choice.
Making his way over to a panel he managed to pry the bent thing open and flip a few breakers that turned on the lights. Better than sitting in the dark. "That should have the water running for a shower." Or at least he hoped that there was still water, and the thing hadn't sprung a leak, but the lights were green, so it looked good. Now for that live wire... he flipped a few breakers and switched to find the right one to get that shut off. "I expect a clean uniform or two in the bunks."

Although he regretted the loss of life it was -he supposed- a poetic justice for the pirates to die in such a way. He heard the call. The only problem was that the devastation of firepower that had been rained down on him left the comms absolutely useless and he was unable to respond or to even update the captain on the situation here. Which meant that he would have no warning about the parasite and the extreme danger that it was going to pose to anyone that it came on contact with. He would just need to hold on and hope for the best. Maybe there was still a chance to prevent the worst from coming true.
It only took a blink to activate thermal imaging to see through the smoke and mist to find his targets and when he did, he took a few more well aimed shots at them without the pressure of being fired at in return. It was just a shame about the synthetic skin being so damaged to reveal the tungsten alloy shell beneath. It would take some time for the nanobots to repair, and the humans always tended to be quite uncomfortable with it. They didn't like it when things were different or unfamiliar to them. "I was designed to withstand battle with Terrormorphs. Your efforts are wasted." He didn't bother with more warnings. They had plenty of them and had not been swayed. He was now authorized to kill to preserve the life of his crew.
"Ah. That. It seems Dr. Richtofen wanted to test emotional stimuli on a synthetic." Pausing he wiped a hand across his nose and glanced at his blooded palm. Resetting his systems seemed to have caused it for reasons unknown even to him. "Convincingly Human, isn't it? I had even believed it myself." But someone had programmed him to believe it hadn't they? So, were any of those thoughts or feelings his? Were they real? Hard to say knowing what he knew now. "Do you think handing you back to Dr. Richtofen would be a better alternative?" Just because his directive was to preserve human life did not mean that the good doctor's was. "The UC is your best chance at being returned to your people."

"Why would anyone want to go into the atmospheres of gas giants in a space exploration game" because that's where the space whales live. Obviously.
"You brought a man-eating parasite onto the ship?"
