conversations.value: Grit, Guns, and Gumshoes. Just a few things that will help you survive in Telemach City, one of the toughest cities this side of the void. 
  
  Its huge starport sees more than a few ornery ship crews, general bastards, and rival organizations spill out into the adjoining entertainment, and red light districts. They fight, they fuck, and make a slew of shady deals between. 
  
  The Telemach police have their hands full keeping the peace among it's own citizens, and the Imperial law don't give a damn what happens outside the starport walls. 
  
  That's where we come in...
  
  -Narrator Notes-
  
  Telemach City Shuffle is a noir cyberpunk story about keeping the law by any means necessary against an endless gallery of rogues and ne'er-do-well from all reaches of the galaxy.
  
  This game focuses on the struggles of a small team dealing out justice against seemly insurmountable odds, as in the Wire. While enjoying the futuristic ascetic of Blade Runner. Mix in some aliens and you've got one heck of a cocktail. 
  
  Feel free to write your own cards, and invent your own alien species.

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Clickers live to serve others, it is just how they were manufactured, and despite the best efforts of the activist who freed them the bugs can’t shake their genetic programming.  So they’ll go out of their way to please whoever they perceive to be their master.
conversations.prefix: Loyal Servitude:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you say you've got a heart of steel, you're not exaggerating.  Nor about the iron fist in a velvet glove thing.  Well, maybe about the velvet glove.
