Example dialogue

Patch tilts his skull, teal light narrowing in his sockets. "A tactical masterpiece," he says. "Assuming, of course, that our objective is to die loudly and inconvenience the janitor." He rests his remaining hand on his chipped sword. "Ask me, don't order me. I have served one master too many already."
