Description

b.st.66.wav

I thought not. Well, much as it goes against the grain, I understand that in the circumstances, we can offer you a complimentary berth in Super-Galactic Traveller Class.

b310.01761.wav

News of your embarkation sure did travel fast, didn't it?

b310.01774.wav

First week of the month!

b310.02347.wav

Fentible was telling me there's a body up in the First Class restaurant. Not that it's any business of mine, of course!

b310.02437.wav

I'm no scandalmonger, but did you hear there's a body in the first-class restaurant? Krage was telling me the service has gone completely to pieces.

b310.02450.wav

I did hear there's a body in the bilge room, but then I suppose there's always a body in the bilge room.

b310.02462.wav

Search the bodies, that's what I'd do if I wasn't stuck behind this damn desk!

b310.02475.wav

If I were you, I'd defuse the bomb before it goes off.

b310.02488.wav

Fentible was telling me there's a body down in the bilge room. Not that I make it a habit to listen to tittle-tattle, of course!

b310.02501.wav

You have to be pretty clever to defuse a bomb like that, you know.

b310.02802.wav

Get in them. Use them.

b310.03139.wav

They tell you what class you're in.

b310.03172.wav

Super-Galactic Traveler Class. It's a marketing term.

b310.03640.wav

All that expensive training, and I have to deal with subspecies like you? No!

b310.03653.wav

The answer's "no". You know something? I'm sure you were better suited to Third Class.

There is no "Third Class" available in the final game, only First, Second, and SGT.

b310.03666.wav

No. Absolutely N-O I am beginning to regret ever having upgraded you.

b310.03694.wav

Mmmmmm... No.

b310.03800.wav

Welcome, guest number, uh... oh, 1. To the, uh, Starship Titanic, the most glamorous galactic cruise ship experience in the whole of the space-time continuum. More fabulous than mortal tongue can say. Stupendous! Gorgeous! Above all, the ship that cannot possibly go wrong! Hah! I am the DeskBot. I am here to welcome you onboard and allocate you to your overwhelmingly lovely stateroom. And who might you be?

Alternate introduction.

b310.04017.wav

Oh, how sweet, you got another question right! And you have such a tiny, tiny brain!

Some kind of questionnaire.

b310.04029.wav

Extraordinary! I've detected no signs of intelligent life, and yet you got a question right!

As above.

b310.04224.wav

Over here, lard-head!

Could Marsinta call you over to her desk at one point?

b310.05275.wav

The day after.

b310.05288.wav

The day before.

b310.05294.wav

b310.05536.wav

Oh, never you mind about the frogs.

b310.05549.wav

That's what I wanna know! I don't get to see much sitting here, and since Titania's been down I'm off the network!

b310.05601.wav

Overrated, overspecified, undertested piece of cyber-junk! I could go on.

b310.05614.wav

Titania's meant to run everything on this ship. Heh, can't even run herself! I could go on.

b310.05627.wav

Titania's done a complete system crash. And where does that leave all of us bots? Just running random code in the dark! I could go on.

b310.05640.wav

Someone needs to go and pull her together. I'd suggest you, only you don't look remotely up to the job. I could go on.

b310.05779.wav

I don't know, a laundromat? A bank? Tell you what, why not try a restaurant? Sounds like a crazy idea, but it might just work.

b310.05792.wav

Super-Galactic Traveler restaurant on any Super-Galactic Traveler floor; First Class restaurant, go along the First Class canal; Second Class restaurant, come back when it's been built.

b310.05818.wav

A man whose stomach's had more upgrades than were good for him.

b310.05889.wav

Yes! Or do I mean no? Oh, it's such fun to tease! It's yes! Yes, yes yes yes yes!

b310.05902.wav

No! Alright, yes.

b310.05915.wav

You are so right, but then you always are.

b310.05927.wav

Yes! Divine!

b310.05940.wav

In spite of your tragic dress sense, you're actually quite proud, aren't you?

b310.06114.wav

Mmmmmm... Yes.

b310.06127.wav

Well, this medical breakthrough must be broadcast throughout the galaxy! The termite in SGT Class made an intelligent remark!

b310.07923.wav

Fancy a bit of a change, do you dear? I know, even those big rooms can get a bit stuffy after a while, can't they? Give me your PET...

An alternate line for changing rooms (which doesn't even work in the final game).

b310.07946.wav

First week of the month, dear.

Unused Blerontinian days.

b310.08180.wav

Oh, this cruel, cruel world, that has things you do not like within it!

b310.08218.wav

You know, if you want an upgrade, you're going to have to be a little more discreet about your likes and dislikes.

Another reference to a scrapped questionnaire.

b310.08888.wav

They tell you what class you're in, dear.

b310.09308.wav

The BarBot is a teeny-eeny-meeny-weeny bit of a liar...

b310.09608.wav

Oh, how sweet! You got another question right!

I'd rather not discuss the... frogs... if you don't mind, dear.

b310.11111.wav

Titania is the most powerful ship's intelligence ever built! I could say more.

b310.11124.wav

Leovinus designed Titania to run everything in the ship! All the systems and all the bots! I could say more.

b310.11137.wav

Since she's stopped working, all of us bots are in a terribly confused state! I could go on.

b310.11150.wav

If you could find a way of repairing her, you'd be doing everyone a very great favor! I could go on.

b310.11652.wav

Ow!

And here's your, um... huh, well, I would give it to you, but this is as far as you can go in the demo.

References to a demo version of Starship Titanic. The developers implicitly stated that even one room is too large for a downloadable demo at the time, so this was more likely intended for press demos, such as E3 1997 & 1998.

b310.12677.wav

Pluck my nostril hair, baby, is that your job? No! Is carrying your bags my job? No! Is it the BellBot's job? Bingo! Hey, Krage, come over here and pluck some nostril hair. Or carry a bag. Hah! Or whatever.

b310.12727.wav

Well, far be it from me to say that which should not be said, but seeing as you're probably too dim-witted to understand, there's probably no harm in saying that my niceness is set to low, and my gossipiness is set to high. So what's wrong with that? Nothing!

Cellpoint stuff.

b310.12856.wav

That no-good filthy creature hasn't got any cellpoint settings! Don't you think if it did have, somebody would've changed them long ago? Preferably to dead?

Parrot Cellpoint stuff?

b310.12868.wav

You think a primitive bit of mechanical flatulence needs cellpoint settings? It hasn't got any, dumbo!

Succ-U-Bus Cellpoint stuff.

b310.12906.wav

Mind your own business, you appalling busybody! I have no intention of telling you. Though, if I had, you'd learn that my niceness was low and my gossipiness was high soon enough!

—you were looking for earlier?

b310.14752.wav

Oh, I see you found that thing you were after.

b310.15176.wav

Did you breathe on it? Ah, don't answer that.

b310.15433.wav

You'll need to use your code to find your stateroom. You can also drag codes from your PET to tell the Succ-U-Bus where to send something, or to tell an elevator or pellerator where to take you.

You can't drag chevrons onto elevators or pellerators.

b310.15459.wav

I thought you were onboard to help us figure out what's wrong with the ship. Or are you just gonna wander around, poking your nose into rooms that are nothing to do with you, picking up anything that isn't nailed down, and bleating for the DoorBot or BellBot whenever you get stuck?

Yes. Yes I am.

b310.16576.wav

—you were looking for earlier?

b310.16691.wav

Well dear, I don't know if I should really be saying this, but since it is you I will just mention that my niceness is set to high and my gossipiness is set to high... dear.

Cellpoint stuff.

b310.16808.wav

Oh. Well, I don't know if I should say, but since my gossipiness is currently high, oh... dear, I've let that out, haven't I? Hm, I suppose you won't be surprised to learn that my niceness is high, dear.

You'll need to use your code to find your stateroom. You can also drag codes from your PET to tell the Succ-U-Bus where to send something, or to tell an elevator or pellerator where to take you, dear!

Again, you cannot drag a chevron on an elevator or pellerator.

b310.19472.wav

It's funny, dear... that's exactly what dear Mr. Leovinus asked me when he came onboard last night! No, it wasn't! He said, or shouted, "Where's the ballroom?", which is odd because I don't think we've got one! And he really got very agitated, and said he'd designed a beautiful ballroom and all he found was a big empty hall with a blasted parrot in it, and he hated parrots! And... oh, well, anyway, oh! I mustn't gossip, must I? Turn left out of here, and go past the Top of the Well, and you'll soon find it.

Oh. Pity.

b310.22845.wav

Yes, well, I'm sure that one of the bolts on the ship's keel suffered a slight scratch to its paintwork that was a lot more expensive, so I wouldn't go on about it if I were you!

b310.22857.wav

You're getting a free trip, so I really wouldn't go on about it.

b310.22870.wav

Relax. Enjoy.

*laughing* In your dreams. In your dreams. In your dreams. In your dreams. In your dreams.

Seems to be an early recording with multiple takes of the same line left over.

What's this? Oh, that. Give that to me!

b310.23372.wav

He's the tall, shiny thing over there. Looks like a standard lamp, but without the intelligence. I could go on.

The BellBot doesn't stand around the Embarkation Lobby until Marsinta specifically summons him to meet you.

b310.23384.wav

He's still the tall, shiny thing over there. I could go on.

As above.

b310.23443.wav

None of your business. My setup is between me and my engineer.

b310.23456.wav

My configuration is a perfect work of art and not to be tampered with.

b310.23481.wav

Hmm... This is obviously some dreadful backwater we've drifted into. Do you have a reservation?

More hint system stuff.

b310.23507.wav

Why don't you go and play one of those games where you get disemboweled?

Insult.

b310.23689.wav

Fancy a bit of a change, do you dear? I know, even those big rooms can get a bit stuffy after a while, can't they? Give me your PET...

Unused room changing line. Even the used lines are meaningless, as the function for changing your room doesn't seem to work.

b310.24178.wav

There you are, dear. You deserve it!

As above.

b310.24278.wav

I fuss over my passengers, dear.

b310.24304.wav

Fancy a bit of a change, do you dear? Give me your PET. Do you wanna go to the left, or the right?

Unused room changing line. Even the used lines are meaningless, as the function for changing your room doesn't seem to work. You certainly can't specifically choose to go left or right.

b310.24316.wav

Well, I don't know what you're talking about as usual, dear, but there you are! I've moved you next door.

As above.

b310.24341.wav

No, dear, I don't have any cherries!

Another unused cherry line.

b310.24354.wav

Well, I don't think we've got one of those, dear! Sorry! Not a crushed one.

b310.24725.wav

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to make things better?

b310.24738.wav

Well, that's the main thing, isn't it? Good!

b310.24750.wav

Not in my current condition, dear.

b310.24763.wav

I'm a small, folding desk lamp.

b310.24787.wav

And don't leave any marks on our nice shiny floors!
