I'll start this one off. Overheard from an unknown player.

"Did the GDF really steal the Donghorn?"
"Yeah. At least they didn't get the @#$%& Joke."

Around the same time:

"You just know, somewhere in a stuffy war room filled with GDF Sularas, someone is putting a check-mark next to a mission labeled "Operation Cock-Block," and stroking the Donghorn."

Drunk Hannah, with Liam's gun pointed at her face:

"Is this thing loaded?"

Dax (from across the commisary): Hannah!
Hannah: Liam (more people start shouting my name) I need you to bounce.
Liam: (as the commissary is now actually chanting my name) I'm not bouncing the whole commissary
Hannah: (looks over her shoulder) Never mind, he wants to give me a drink!

The chanting was adorable, as was Kris thinking "Justice Hannah" was going wild by entering a drinking contest.

"Dr. Dolarhyde delivered his best pickup line, one that always worked..."
"Come here often?"
*slap*
"It was clear she was in on it. There was no way she could have resisted his charm."

At the maintenance party, a bunch of us got the SELF ACTUALIZATION pamphlet and started asking people about it. At one point, we went up to Drake and Felicity-Anne to ask them about it.

Drake: *extends hand* Hello, my name is Drake Townsend and I speak with the voice of Aleph Thunder.
All of us: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALEPH HUMONGO!!

At nearly 2AM, over the radio, after a period of silence, those of us hold up in the Radio Station lost it when Leeward suddenly said, "There was a sound. People think it's a bird."

Near the end of game on sunday the GDF stormed the commissary and Basil had weaknessed a soldier... snowman came over to finish the job and looked at the soldier cowering near the sink behind the bar... and all he could see was himself in that position, with all the emotion that had gone on, with the thoughts lingering in his head he blurted out.

"Soldier... surrender... please."

to which got responded to

"I'm sorry... you have your orders.. and I have mine."

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. I dont have it, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. I will find you and I will kill you." ~ Some famous actor some where.

I'm trying to find my poor little lost puppy on Friday. I'm by the pavillion with Cindy, Sean, Dameon, and some others. We get word over the radio that there are wolves in the woods.
Sean just starts walking away "I'm going to go count wolves."
Cindy: What did you say?
Someone else: Exactly what you thought he said...

One of my faces who shall remain nameless is asking the PCs WTF they were thinking by going to war with the GDF.
Jack gives an admittedly inspiring speech about how they had heart, and pluck, and all that stuff that was only missing inspirational power chords.
At which point Josh Marcus comes bumbling over as a new CDF person, carrying an armload of armor, "Can somebody show me how to wear this?"
(beat)
Me: "Yea. You guys are gonna be juuuust great. "

I legitimately did not expect the PCs to get so into the one-on-one fights with the Soldiers of Mother. Every time one of you screamed "GLORY!!!!!" I couldn't stop smiling.

Oh that combat was glorious and almost totally worth almost finaling!!!!

Blue opens the door to the autoforge, revealing herself and all her guns to the Soldiers of Mother. "No really, I'm holding these for a friend. I'm a yoga instructor."

Blue, watching Deadwood's GLORIOUS combat, "You know, watching him almost makes me think my orientation* could change."
Slade, "You haven't seen me fight."
Blue, "Oh, I've seen you fight."
*To fully appreciate the double entendre here, you need to know that he was fighting with swords.

After the fight, Blue told Slade, "You know, that GLORIOUS COMBAT was like a [shiny and chrome] reset death chip on our friendship."

Slade - We bro'd it out.

Hawkins attempts to shed more light on the SELF-ACTUALIZATION brochure.
Blue, "Is that the black light flashlight we agreed would not be turned after the first month in quarantine?"

Oska, Snowman, Hannah, and Cindy talk about last minute wedding plans.
Snowman: So we have an offisticator... (I believe he meant officiator, but I ran with it.)
Oska: Offisticator?! We're going to have someone who's job it is to PUNCH people at the wedding?!?
Snowman: NO! No, I meant-
Oska: That's the greatest idea EVER!!!! Deary, let's hire an offisticator!

Background story: Oska has never had popcorn before, and after it was explained to her a year ago that it requires the kernels to blow up, she was scared it would blow up in her mouth. On her wedding day, there is popcorn, and she finally has enough trust in the colony and Snowman to eat what she believes to be grenade-corn.

*bites*
Oska: Hey, I'm still alive!!! *biggest grin ever*

Hannah may have enabled the post wedding brawl idea and arranged for Liam to offisticate....

She also may have discussed with Eva Slade how this is an awesome idea, and they should renew their vows and have battles with their husbands. Slade vs. Slade would obviously be a a brutal physical fight that Eva would win by a long shot. Hasturi vs. Hasturi would likely end up with the commissary falling around them due to excessive lazers and explosions.

BEES!!

I also forgot about this gem from when the mission at game start:

Network: Turn around, and put your hands against the wall.
*Darius puts his palms back, still looking at the Network*
Network: Turn around.
*Darius spins in a full circle*
Network: No, a 180!
Darius: I'm *really* bad at math.
*More Network show up*
Other Node: Is he being a problem?
*At the same time*
Network: Slightly.
Darius: No!
Darius: If you're going to kill me, then let me just see it happen!
*Some arguing commences*
*Second node rolls his eyes and sighs*
*Smack, Smack, Smack, Smack, Smack!*
*Darius collapses*
Second Node: There!

MULTI-BALL! MULTI-BALL! MULTI-BALL!

Sam Archer: [some f-bomb laden paranoia]
AC: Sam! There are ladies present!
Sam Archer: Huh? Did I say something about ladies?
Slade: You dropped an F-bomb dude.
Sam Archer: What?
Sunshine: Oh what the @#$%& ever.

Hahaha. "There is... at least one lady present! Two, if Evie was listening!"

Basil: Doc? What is it Doc?
Doctor Dolarhyde: It's your kids Basil!

The Monologue: This sort of thing had been happening to the 505 Marshal Service quite often lately... was it in the fog in the air? The drinks? The snacks on the table?

Basil: How does getting angry with someone lead to sex?
Evie: You clearly haven't gotten angry at the right person.
Basil: I've been angry at pretty much everyone...

You forgot a line, Mike.

"It's your kids, Basil! They grow up to be @#$%&!"

Slade and Glass are by the commissary's bar, when Basil approaches. Basil starts talking happily about biological samples, and collecting them from a certain someone.

Slade: "There is no way you would be able to get to them."
Basil: "I'd just need to go around, behind them, and collect the sample. It is called *subterfuge*, have you guys never heard of it?"
(beat)

Slade and Glass start laughing.

...To be honest, I completely forgot the angry sex conversation...that was the best, though.

And Evie's response to the "two if Evie's listening" was something along the lines of "I may be a lady, but Sian's my brother, so feck it."

Slade: (passionately) "Do you think I like doing this?" (gestures at murdertown gear) "Wait... yeah, actually I do."

Songbird and CW are sitting talking about all the programmed people.

Songbird: So, is it safe to be 'round them folks?
CW: Yea, I think so. Just don't be goin' down any dark alleys with them.
Songbird: Then how'm I supposed to have any fun 'round here?
CW: <ponders> I see yer point. I guess just bring a chaperone?
Songbird: Dependin' on the chaperone, that is either gonna be no fun... or even more fun. That'll work.
CW: <triumphant noises>

Which led to Songbird starting a few conversations with the folks she'd been warned about with. "So, I been told I can't be goin' down no dark alleys with you without a fun kinda chaperone, but..."

I often forget which adjective is used for the lowest level of consumables. People then hear me muttering improvised procedure calls to myself as I make coffee, leading to a variety of suggestions beyond my scatalogical default.

"Production, create <foo> coffee"...

shitty
bad
mediocre
terrible
no good
awful
cheap
cheap-ass

At some point a Hasturi (I forget which) chimes in firmly "I create poor cheese, not shitty cheese, thank you very much."

And then it devolved into "Production, create brown water," "Wait that sounds more like bio," "Hey I did that after the chilli, amirite?" and then I excused myself.

"Create Shitty Coffee" is about right. Which reminds me...

Laurence: "AC, would you like some awful coffee? It's not good at all. It's really quite bad. But it's warm."
AC: "Um, okay."
*sip*
AC: "It certainly is... a warm temperature."

Louis Godfrey giving advice on research: "Well it probably won't work, but just think about how proud you can be of having contributed to the field and being able to say you know it doesn't work now!"

Overheard near the Rez bed. Names removed.

"Well, I could stop Monte from singing [while deathwalking, and therefore freaking everyone out]."
Medtech: "Wait, you can?"
[fraught conversation about the ethics of messing with the dead...]
"A medtech has been using science to affect the revived?!"
"I didn't say that!"
"Have you been doing that?"
"I didn't say that either!"
"Well, if they are, it's a serious violation of their oath. If you're doing it it's just cheeky."

Redacted a name. I'll leave the slander to Sam Archer.

[In the Power Station on Sunday, nervous conversation]
Sam: Desperate situations remind me of the memoirs of this revolutionary I read. Her last words were: “When they ask how I died, tell them: still angry.”
[slightly later]
Sam: Oh, do you guys know to watch out for death chip researchers? It can be hard for people to resist the lure of an undead unstoppable army that does their bidding, so you have to keep an eye on them. I think that med-tech is cool, he seems nice, but you never know. Oh, and [REDACTED], that @#$%& would love an undead army.
CW: Yeah, I'm not sure I could resist making an undead army if I could.
[within an hour]
Radio: Blair is dead, but she's still fighting for us because [REDACTED] worked on her chip.
CW: Holy @#$%& Sam, how do you do that! Stop predicting things, you are going to get us all killed!
Sam: Hey CW… … When they ask how I died, tell them: Still correctly predicting @#$%& that no one else thought of.

Blue ended up crying to whichever medtech was on duty, which resulted in the following (which I am totally paraphrasing because I cannot remember):

When Blue kept interrupting Louis Godfrey and Glass' conversation about complicated math stuff, Godfrey was very comforting:

So, psychology is not my area.
It sounds like you should speak to a psychologist.
I hear Grace is good with people in leadership dealing with stress.
No really, you should probably speak to a psychologist.
Did I mention I'm not a psychologist?

The next morning, Blue found ZG,

ZG, to someone else - GET FELICITY ANN!
Someone else- She's dealing with an emergency right now!
ZG - THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!

Sam Archer has "the Talk" with Blue.

Sam- So, this is awkward.
Blue- Huh?
Sam- So, I hear you and [redacted] are a thing.
Blue- WHAT?!??!?? NO!!!!!
Sam- Well that's good, because [romance] is a security risk. You don't want to be naked in bed with someone with no guns and no armor--
Blue - I'm NEVER naked with anyone in bed! Or with no guns or no armor!

Hannah is drunk and laughing about something, and I have a klutzy moment and tip in my chair a little. Liam, seeing his chance, gives my shoulder a slight tap, and I topple over onto the floor

Hannah: You popped my bra strap off! Without even touching it!
Liam: I used my mind...(in a panicked voice) don't tell your husband!
Liam: No, really, don't tell your husband!

I get up, my bra strap pulled out of my shirt as evidence and walk over to tell Stark in mock anger

Liam (leaning in and looking at Ali suggestedly): I can pop bra straps off with my mind

---

Rymaus Liena “Ellie” Dax

In the moment, I believe Ali's reaction was simply to glare and make some comment about how she could do worse if Liam kept that conversation up. Or maybe I just thought that. No idea, stupid o'clock was in full swing by then.

C.W. labeled his water/coffee cup with "herpes???" instead of his name.

(group commentary may or may not have referenced past variola)

Leeward reacts with, "Well, if you don't have that already, this may be one way to get it... What are you doing, collecting samples?"

C.W.: "Oh, back on Interim I collected PLENTY of samples!" (eyebrow waggle)
