Shall tremble, he descending, will himself,
In thunder, lightning, and loud trumpets' sound,
Ordain them laws.
~ John Milton, Paradise Lost, Datalinks”

##Quantum Lab
#FAC16
$quotes[ ] = ”Have you ever wondered why clouds behave in such familiar ways when
each specimen is so unique? Or why the energy exchange market is so
unpredictable? In the coming age we must develop and apply

seek, and find, the hidden fractal keys which can unravel the chaos
around us.
~ Academician Prokhor Zakharov, University Commencement”

##Fusion Lab
#FAC15
$quotes[ ] = “It will happen, and it will happen in our lifetimes. Fusion

One more blurb. Also, I noticed their is a typo for the blurb of Information Networks. It should be The Blessed Struggle not A blessed Struggle.

##Advanced Subatomic Theory

Here are the newly typed and formated SMAX facilities blurbs:

#; Covert Ops Center
#HELPFAC34
$quotes[ ] = “The idea first of all was to create a center without a physical location; more of a nexus of thought where we could trade intelligence, turn codes and techiniques. The second goal was to hide it from the very probe teams that used it. Nothing could be more secret than a collection of information that spends ninety-nine percent of its existence dissolved into the aether.

~Datatech Sinder Roze, ‘Putting the Covert in Covert Operations’”

#; Brood Pit
#HELPFAC35
$quotes[ ] = “Of all the employments, working in the brood pit was considered at once the most horrific and the most desirable. Horrific because of what we saw occur day after day, and because of the very nature of the sessile native lifeforms. Desirable because, having been chosen to work in the pits, you were highly unlikely to  become one its victims.

~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, ‘The Shadow Resonance’”

#; Aquafarm
#HELPFAC36
$quotes[ ] = “Juvenile Sealurks, when isolated from the collective planetary conciousncess, perform astounding feats as underwater sheep dogs. Vast schools of calorie rich sporefish can be herded by a few well-trained specimens. Just don’t them get to close to the fungus, or they’ll turn on you like a razorshark.

~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, ‘Tending the Sea’”

#; Subsea Trunkline
#HELPFAC37
$quotes[ ] = “Each individual pipe contains a hot  slurry of minerals drawn from planet’s crust, and makes a sound like rain falling on a tin roof. When they converge at the trunkline, the sound becomes a terrifying thunder, a thunder of untold wealth and power

~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, ‘Tending the Sea’”

#; Thermocline Transducer
#HELPFAC38
$quotes[ ] = ”The boundary between cold water and cold, the thermocline, has been important to undersea warfare for hundreds of years of man’s history. Now we have found a way to harness that power for constructive purposes. What once cloaked us can now feed us. What once shielded us from death; now brings us life.

~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, ‘The Ripple and the Wave’"   

#; Flechette Defense System
#HELPFAC39
$quotes[ ] = “Resonace: come not from individual beings: rather city as whole. Progenitors: not seperate: lines between us blur. Resulting power: exponential: brilliant beacon even in vast universe.

~Caretaker Lular H'minee, ‘Resonance : Power’”

#; Subspace Generator
#HELPFAC40
Missile attack on Zeta-Five: humans activate: first defense successful. Afterwards: danger posed by innovation suddenly clear.

~Usurper Judaa Marr, ‘Human : Nature’"

#; Geosynchronous Survey Pod
#HELPFAC41
$quotes[ ] = “The managers always talked about the view from thirty thousand feet. The only problem about having the view from thirty thousand feet is that everyone looks like a ant.

~Foreman Domai, ‘Genejack and The Beanstalk’”

Is there a difference on how the game depicts the alternative quotes?

Is there a difference on how the game depicts the alternative quotes?

The game as far as I know does not read the alternative blurbs any differently once they are converted through a progam like audacity into .mp3 files, and placed into the voices folder. I have converted and posted the audio files in the topic "Changing the bit rate of a audio file?".

[Geo]

Oh, now I see it. You link existing voice files to other then their normal facilities. I though you were just removing the new alinea's in the blurbs txt file.
