Trivia:

• New U-Stations break cannon despite being used to explain the player character's respawns. Anyone that dies and doesn't come back is assumed to either have been broke, out-of-range of a station, had their account banned/disabled, opted not to use the system or wasn't registered with it to begin with. It is possible for the system to experience technical difficulties or be taken over by interested companies and individuals looking to use it for their own interests. Some people may simply choose to opt out is the listed side effects are to be believed: "By using this New-U station, you have forfeited your right to reproduce."

"Never Meet Your heroes, Kid, They're All Dicks. Every Last One." - Jack

I could have saved this planet! I could have actually restored order! And I wasn't supposed to die by the hands... of a CHILD KILLING PSYCHOPATH!! You're a savage! You're a maniac, you are a bandit, AND I AM THE GODDAMN HERO!!" - Jack

"I will pay you to kill yourself." - Jack

Funny thing -- you wanna destroy a man, you don't need to kill him. You just need to kill what he loves. - Jack

"No, no, Jimmy, choking is something you do when you eat too fast. As I'm crushing Mister Moorin's windpipe with my watch chain, what I'm doing is actually referred to as strangling." - Jack

"No! You let your enemies live, they shoot you in the back! I don't want any surprises! I don't want any SURVIVORS! You blow up that ship to hell, and you do it NOW!" - Jack

Hey, you wanna know how I got my hands on that vault key? Well, a few years back, Wilhelm and I played a little visit to your buddy, Tannis, and we beat her for hours, ripped it out of her broken fingers. But we let her live, because that's what heroes do, they show mercy."

"Be honest with yourself, kid. Do you really think you can stop me? I knew you were gonna go for Roland. I am smarter than you. I don’t mean to condescend, that’s just a fact. (beat) “Condescend” is a word that means “talk down to.” You got that, kitten?"
