Generic Lines
Generic lines are lines the character will say to the player, based off the relationship to the player.
Resting
Stranger
Plants are a vital part of a closed system like the one we have on this ship.
And it helps ground us back to nature too.
I always like to talk to my plants when I get bored.
But until I met Pilot and Sprout, the plants I've talked to never talked back!
I don't really like servicing the solar panels when they act up.
But asking Stewart for a favor is just as unpleasant, so I usually just tough it out and fix them myself.
The seed options we have are primarily based on the region of space we are in.
When we are orbiting a planet with little resources, people tend to get a little bored with their food options.
I'm teaching I-1900 more about botany and in return she is teaching me how to knit.
Acquaintance
Humans consume 3-5 pounds of food per day, but many species eat far less and get their energy from other sources like sunlight or geothermal energy.
My family has been reporting records amount of rain back home at my family's farm.
I know a lot of rain can cause problems... but it sure would be nice to not have to water my plants for a few days.
Captain, when visiting new places, first check if the atmosphere is safe.
If so, kick off your boots and bury your bare feet in the soil.
I don't know why it works, but it does!
My hands are always so dry from working in the dirt. I feel like an alligator.
Captain, did you know some fruits contain a lot of air inside of them?
For example, apples are 25% air which is why they float in water.
Friend
Do you think Pilot and Sprout like me?
Sometimes I feel like I say the stupidest things around them to try and impress them.
Fiji is so pretty don't you think?
She always stands out in a crowd.
Wouldn't it be wild if I dyed my hair green or something... but I'd probably chicken out.
I don't know how people can learn anything from reading a book.
I have to watch someone and then get my hands dirty myself.
Everyone tells me I should start selling my special soil mixtures but they're not really that special.
It does make me curious about how someone might start a business though.
PLAYER: Um, you got a little...
*blushes* Oh really, I'm always such a mess...
PLAYER: *ignore it* Hey, how you doing?
*excited* Great! I'm so glad I ran into you.
I just finished potting the latest batch of hybrid seeds so cross your fingers for me.
Good Friend
Sometimes I miss the sounds of life on a planet.
When you work outside, it can be quite peaceful to hear the different creatures around you.
Sometimes I get a little self-conscious in group settings.
I don't really like to compete for attention...
That's why I appreciate you talking to me one-on-one like this.
It's kind of exciting to put on a spacesuit and wander around on the outer hull, don't you think?
It just hits me sometimes how impressive space really is...
I-1900's' knitting lessons are going really well... I think I'm even starting to feel comfortable doing it on my own.
It has given me the confidence to patch up some of my favorite work clothes too.
Did you know some spices are more valuable than precious metals like silver and gold?
Best Friend
I like that sometimes we can just not talk about anything and it's not awkward.
When I was a kid there weren't a lot of other kids around so I had an ant farm to keep me busy.
They were great little friends, kind of like you.
Not that you're like an ant, I mean...
...you're better than an ant of course.
Can you guess what my favorite type of plant to grow is?
PLAYER: Pumpkins
Yep, my family has been growing pumpkins for generations... it's kind of our signature.
PLAYER: Blueberries
Well, I was going to say pumpkins... but now that you said blueberries, maybe I do like them more? Now I need to rethink this...
Guess what?! Sprout said next time we are in orbit around their home world, I'll get to take a tour!
I'm going to need more storage containers to collect samples.
I make a great bloody mary mix from fresh tomatoes.
I call it Snappy Mary since it was my mother's recipe.
Engaged
I'm getting so nervous for the big day, but seeing you makes me feel better.
I'm mixing up a batch of essential oils from some of my favorite flowers.
I hope our whole wedding will smell like wild flowers.
Don't take this the wrong way, but moving up to the Captain's Deck will give me even more room for my plants!
Uhh, sorry, it sounded even worse saying it out loud.
I hope you'll do most of the talking at the wedding, you know me and crowds...
Do you think we could ask Jimmy to take some engagement photos for us?
I'd love to have some in black and white to show our grandkids one day too.
Married
Sometimes I like watching you sleep.
Oh, but don't worry, it's not in a creepy way or anything.
Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to start a compost around here somewhere.
We are a perfect duo, like two peas in a pod.
Sorry about all that dirt I tracked in here...
I will clean it up when I get a free moment.
Oh gosh... don't sneak up on me so quietly.
Things sure were boring around here before you got arrived, or maybe I just like all the extra attention you give me.
I made some special tea blends with a kick of caffeine in case you have any late nights coming up.
While the player is on various missions, characters will provide different commentary rather than just generic lines based on the player's relationship status.
During the Meet the Crew mission:
Being the botanist aboard a starship means doing a lot more than just research.
So I'll be helping to produce food resources for the ship throughout the journey.
Even planets like the Grey Planet can provide valuable resources we need to grow crops...
...so don't discount the items you find down there just yet.
During the Visit the Grey Planet mission:
The conditions on the Grey Planet don't seem to support much plant life.
But the soil is rich in nutrients so it's very puzzling to me.
During the Report Back to Kaida mission:
While you're exploring the Grey Planet, you might dig up some grey radishes from time to time."
I ran some tests on them so don't worry, they're not poisonous.
But they do taste kind of disgusting.
During the Help Soot mission:
Captain, I know you have everything covered, but I just can't stand here and do nothing for that poor little alien.
I'll plant some extra crops right now in case you have any trouble with yours.
I just want to be helpful.
During the Crew Meeting mission:
CPU kicked me off the bridge because he said he has to prepare for some kind of special meeting.
I'm so confused, he can't do that right?
During the Ready for Departure mission:
Don't forget about your farming duties even though you have to start producing other items as well.
Not only can you eat, sell, or give away your crops, but they are more fun to produce than anything else.
During the Travel Days mission:
I find I have to clean my solar panels more often when we're in flight.
Space debris really sticks to the glass.
During the Microbe Seeking mission:
Hey, Captain... um... just so you know... there are microbes out there that are super useful for farming.
So keep an eye out for anything that might benefit your plants!
During the The Unknown Planet mission:
My inbox has been going nuts ever since we arrived.
I guess I have to go check out these new seeds Robert is offering too.
During the Land Sickness Cure mission:
Everyone you met down on the Blue Reef Planet sure seemed nice.
Growing ginger and water plants can be tricky, so it's no wonder they need some assistance from us.
I'm going to do my best to help too.
During the Mysterious Artifact mission:
My plants really perked up with the natural water source from the Blue Reef. But we have to move on I guess...
Oh, I'm sooo sorry! I should have congratulated you on getting another Relic Piece instead of whining about my plants.
I hope you'll forgive me.
During the Journey Onward mission:
You don't think we will run into any trouble while we're traveling, do you?
PLAYER: No, why would you think that?
Well, this ship is not in the best shape of its life, if you know what I mean...?
PLAYER: Maybe, space is kind of unpredictable.
It's not space I'm afraid of, but this ship falling apart mid-flight.
But I guess I should stop being a worry wart.
During the Discover a New World mission:
See you when you get back from checking out the new planet...
During the Fixing the Shellship mission:
Captain, I heard a giant vicious crab attacked you on the surface, is that true?
PLAYER: What! He was just a normal friendly crab.
Oh whew... I guess that's what I get for listening to the kids.
PLAYER: Totally, I'm so tough...
Really?! You look perfectly fine to me... you better not be messing with me.
During the Desert Relic Piece mission:
Captain, I know we have to move on... but... really?
Only having access to the same old boring stock seeds again feels like farming torture.
During the New Coordinates mission:
Captain, sometimes when we are in orbit around the Grey Planet, I see little Soot staring out the window at the surface.
It's like he's waiting for something, but I can't put my finger on it.
He must be deeply connected to that planet somehow.
During the The Planet Below mission:
Oh, when you go down to the planet's surface, remember to keep an eye out for any unusual flora or fauna.
Plants have so many benefits, new species are always worth looking into.
During the Fighting Off the Cold mission:
I don't tell many people this but...
When I was a young cadet, I crashed my shuttlecraft once too.
I barely passed my exam and still to this day I hate driving those things.
During the Ice Relic Piece mission:
Ah ha! I knew we'd be moving along at some point so this time I planned ahead and stocked up on some ice plant seeds.
Here... I'll share my bounty with you.
During the End of the Road? mission:
I wonder what kind of wonderful place we're headed next...
During the Explorer Badge mission:
Aren't you nervous going down to the planet's surface, not knowing what you will find?
PLAYER: Yes!
I'm a nervous wreck just watching you do it.
PLAYER: Nah.
Are you lying? No?
Well, I'm just glad you are in charge of this mission and not me.
During the Decoding the Message mission:
That Bonny Red is so intimidating.
I just hate confrontations and always freeze up like a statue.
Anyways, I know you need some more information about growing radiated crops.
I have the details ready at my place, so I'll meet you there when you're ready.
During the Lava Relic Piece mission:
[PLAYER], great job on winning over the pirate clan!
I know with that work ethic, there is no limit to your potential.
During the Master Explorer mission:
Oh, Captain. What a beautiful planet the Grey Planet has transformed into.
All of our hard work has paid off. I am just overjoyed with the outcome of the mission.
Gifting Lines
Gifting lines are responses the player will give upon being given a gift, based on how much that character likes or dislikes the item received. Sometimes those responses are a generic response, and other times the player will get a specific response based on the item itself.
Generic Lines
Loved Gift
Captain, I'm not used to getting such a great gift. I feel so spoiled.
Oh wow... *blushes*... oh wow.
Are you sure you didn't mean to give this to someone else?
It's just so perfect, I love it.
Liked Gift
Wow. This is unexpected. Thank you so much!
This is great, I hope you didn't go to too much trouble to get this for me.
You are so thoughtful. I will get something for you too, soon.
Neutral Gift
Thanks. I think I can use this for sure.
Oh thanks, Captain. I will put it to good use.
It's always so nice of you to bring me these kinds of little things.
Disliked Gift
Oh. Was this meant for me?
I'm not sure what I'll use it for really. But thanks just the same.
Ugh, I know it sounds silly, but this kind of thing gives me nightmares sometimes.
My mother always said, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.' So, umm...
Birthday Response
If the player gives Lin a gift on her birthday, they will get a unique birthday response. Lin's birthday is the Q01-17.
Oh, you remembered my birthday?... *blushes*
I usually don't make a big deal about it...
...but it is nice to feel special.
Specific Responses
Engagement Ring
There are several potential outcomes giving any character an engagement ring. If the player has completed all of the romance prerequisites, the character will accept the proposal. If the player is missing any of the prerequisites, they will be prompted with a unique line letting the player know which requirement they are missing.
Accepting the proposal:
...I just need a moment...
I mean are you sure? I mean, I'm sure... but are you sure? I mean sure?!
What's wrong with me? I really mean of course! Yes! Yes!
I don't think I've even been so tongue tied before. But so happy too.
Rejecting the proposal due to not having a high enough friend status:
Oh, hey, um, I think I forgot something back home...
...so I better get going.
It is a pretty ring though, I hope one day my partner will give me a ring like that.
Rejecting the proposal due to not going on enough dates:
Call me old fashioned, but we just haven't gone out on enough dates for me to accept right now.
But don't feel bad... it's a really nice gesture!
Rejecting the proposal due to not having a large enough house:
I don't think I could marry you until you had enough room for me in your house at least.
Oh sorry, that came out wrong. I really do like you but is it practical?
Don't worry though, I'm just going to pretend this didn't happen.
The player can also give Lin an engagement ring, while they are already married, for a different unique line.
Is it a special occasion or something?
You really don't have to spoil me so much you know.
But I do cherish everything you do for me.
Date Invitation
There are a few different outcomes giving any character a date invitation. The player must have a high enough relationship to give the character this item, or get rejected.
Accepting the date invite (non-married):
I was kind of hoping you would ask me.
Do you have something planned?
Accepting the date invite (married):
You are always so thoughtful thinking of me.
Rejecting the invite due to not having a high enough friend status:
But I have to be friends with someone before we start dating.
That was how my parents got together and they had the best relationship I've ever seen.
