Sam Coe:

"So, how much of a thrill has it been traveling with the one, and only, last descendant of the great Solomon Coe?"

"Is it everything you imagined?"

...	Player	Response
	[+Starborn?] It feels like we've been traveling together forever.	I don't know whether to be flattered or concerned.
	I think you're doing your family proud.	Haha. Well, that's a first.
	Such an honor. You should see my diary.	Yeah, but no autographs, OK?
	It doesn't matter to me you're a Coe.	Ha. You're something else.
X	I'd like to pick this up later.	Oh, bad time? Got it. Later, then.
🗣︎	The last Coe? What about Cora? And your father?	Ain't you ever heard sarcasm, friend? So how is it traveling with one of the great Coes? That better?

"I gotta say, it's a relief being with you... So many people hear "Coe" and they expect me to pull some miracle out of a hat."

"Time has a way of just building on itself. Solomon was a good man. A great one, even."

"But if he ever heard all the bullshit being talked about him these days... Well, he'd flat out deck them."

...	Player	Response
	[+Professor?] Solomon Coe was remarkable. But his legend outstrips his documented accomplishments.	So that's just your fancy way of saying he ain't all cracked up what he's supposed to be? But fully deserved or not, the Coe name carries weight.
	It sounds like you aren't happy being related to Solomon.	I am, and I'm not.
	Well, then, I want my miracles.	It appears I left them in my other jacket. Sorry. But... for some people. It ain't a joke. They have serious expectations.
🗣︎	Why do they revere Solomon so much?	There's books about him. Lots of them. A couple high notes: He was one of the first grav jump explorers, back when they had no idea of the dangers... First solo jump out of Sol system: all him. He explored all the planets in Cheyenne and settled Akila. Plus he formed the whole Freestar Collective with Volii. So as you can see - the name's got serious heft.

"There was a time, well, before Cora... Where it really weighed on me."

"It felt like every little thing I did or didn't do was a reflection on our "great legacy." It's enough to drive you crazy."

"Now, I just hope I can help Cora to... I don't know."

▲	Every parent wants their children to learn from their mistakes.	Well, then Cora's going to get a five star university education from me. [QE105]
	That's some serious parenting thoughts there, Sam.	Yeah, yeah. See if you can do better with her. Some days I think she's half feral. [QE110]
	How you raise Cora is none of my business.	No judgment, I appreciate it. [QE115]
▲	Cora's great. You're doing a good job.	Your kind words are appreciated. [QE120]

"For my father, Cora, and me everything starts and ends with Solomon Coe. He looked out at the stars, and he dreamed a way to get there."

"Imagine being the first person to jump to a new system and set foot on a new world? Well, I get it. That's powerful stuff."

"And now... I'm just getting sappy. You're a bad influence, you know that?"

...	Player	Response
	I'm the worst.	Heh. That's what I like about you.
	There's hidden depths to you.	Aww, now you're going to make me blush.
▲	You really do have the heart of an explorer.	You say the damnedest things.
	[Flirt] Oh, I have my wiles, Mr. Coe.	I believe that might be the most honest thing you've ever said. *chuckle*

"Well, I hope the comic book they make up about our adventures is better than that rag on Solomon."

"The stuff they publish is just downright embarrassing."
