TVTROPES BATTLETECH CODE
Choosing this option results in the player character feigning ignorance over whether the bank code they're supposed to send toll money to has a O or a 0, much to the pirate's very vocal frustration.
One of the random encounters involves being held up by pirates in space, with one of the options being to stall with them until help can arrive. Darius comments that he likes the phrase 'Loud and Fatal' enough to want it on a plaque. Yet another pirate mission asks you to get a patrol's attention by 'doing something loud and fatal' to them. They'll word it as if they're insurance salesmen, and Darius is befuddled why the pirates don't just come out and tell the mercenaries they're hiring that they want a lance of mechs destroyed. A different pirate mission will have you enforce a protection racket. Darius points out that the pirates don't need to obfuscate their intentions for a prison break and wishes they would stop. One of the missions from the pirates has them using a bunch of euphemisms, talking about how they have a friend who's being looked after by the state, but decided she wanted to leave and needs a ride. Of particular note is one of the missions scenarios, where a scientist has clearly been double-crossing both sides of a conflict that she is involved in, and Darius quips about the amount of double-dealing going on. Marina Liao could ask you to " add some live-fire exercises" to a Canopian military training drill, for example, or the Aurigan Restoration can claim that "Directorate forces have 'unpaid loans' (read: stolen) on military vehicles" and request that you teach them a lesson on unpaid debt by demolishing those vehicles (read:destroy them to deny them to the Directorate). Some of the briefings on bounties can be blackly amusing. The fact that the progressive achievements for cutting off an enemy 'Mech's arms and legs are "'Tis But a Scratch," "Just a Flesh Wound," "I'm Invincible," and "We'll Call It A Draw.". The flavour text for the Gamma Pod of the Argo mentions requests from crew members for not only the aforementioned swimming pool, but for a " Drop Ship-sized bouncy castle". Yang agrees, and then uses whatever your Commander's callsign is as an example of how silly they can be. You can remark that pirates aren't exactly poets, or you can joke that MechWarrior callsigns aren't much better. Yang will lampshade the silliness of the pirate lord "Grim Sybil's" moniker, and then really loses at "Lady Death", Sybil's old boss (and the meanest pirate in the Periphery). 
They keep doing it even if there is a zero-g pool on the Argo.Prior to this one of the random announcements is Farah noticing a pilot skinny-dipping in the primary coolant tank and reporting it to Darius.ĭarius: I swear, it's like herding cats.Announcing that you have a recording of this skinny-dipping incident prompts one of your pilots somewhere deeper in the ship to yell "Oh my god!" One event that comes up after you refit the Argo to have a low-gravity swimming pool allows you to grant permission for Skinny Dipping night at the pool after someone was caught doing so.One of the possible responses to this is to basically bullshit and flatter them into claiming that those threats were made "in error". Another event has your banks threaten to repossess your ship.

Going full Team Dad, treating the guys arguing over the coffee like children, and splitting it between them and berating them for being giant babies over it causes everyone to agree that it was silly and get the High Spirits buff.It is possible to be mean and take the cup for yourself. One of the possible events allows you to intervene in an argument over the last cup of coffee.Her ancestors are originally from Pomme De Terre.When Sumire suggests that her worst case scenario for a JumpShip misjump is getting stranded on a planet of birds, she is describing the exact plot of the novel. Her hatred of birds is also a Take That! directed at Far Country, a BattleTech novel that's become infamous for featuring sentient aliens, specifically alien birds.Much of her background characterization chatter is dedicated to her antipathy towards birds because of it. Sumire Meyer, the navigator, comes from a planet that has a very avian-rich animal biosphere essentially, birds, birds, and more birds.
