In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Just a Little Further (Steve Levinson)

: Sorry that I’m posting this out of order - it’s supposed to precede
: iwannavacuum , but this is an easily forgettable level. This is a mini
: dream level - presumably from when you are in stasis on your way to
: retrieve the Achilles data chip. There is a single, Jjaro terminal on this
: level:

Awww... I liked this level, particularly the term, and then the precedence onto the next level. : )

: Though in the trade of war I have slain men,

: Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience

: To do no contriv'd murder: I lack iniquity

: Sometimes to do me service.

: I do begin to have bloody thoughts.

: This is an interesting bit of poetry, here. I’m curious, does anyone have a
: reference for this?

Yes, it's very interesting, and relevant in a way. After a bit of puttering around, if found...
it's the first line from Othello, Act 1 Scene 2. The full speech is:

IAGO:

Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience
To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service: nine or ten times
I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs.

Very interesting... The
"I do begin to have bloody thoughts"
appears to be of the Team's own devising... Perhaps this a reflection of one of the major players thoughts? I'm divided as to weather it's the player's or Lysanders, perhaps someone with better judgement could step in.

Service With A Smile : ),
