In space no one can hear you become someone else's venture capital.

Today I saw the strangest thing.. a Sidewinder escort firing at the Boa it was escorting. Both showed up as clean. I watched for a few minutes and finally decided to step between to protect the poor Boa. Of course the Sidewinder hit me and turned into an offender and I shot it down.
As I did so, the Boa started screaming for help and started attacking me.

By then I'd had enough of the whole business and headed for the space station instead.

Escorts act funny in test versions, it's fixed on the trunk versions.

Galaxy is from the greek. Greek is kind of old like latin, and latin words are pluralised by adding ii to the end. You now, jut like virii is the plural of virus

I believe that only applies to words that end in "us" (which funnily enough should make the word "bi" plural of "bus")
From wikipedia

used when the noun is used in a direct address. The vocative form of a noun is the same as the nominative except for second declension nouns ending in -us. The -us becomes an -e or if it ends in -ius (such as filius) then the ending is just -i (fili) (as distinct from the plural nominative (filii). (e.g., "Master!" shouted the slave. "Domine!" servus clamavit.)

And no, it's not "kind of like Greek" Latin is an Ancient Roman language, although the Greeks eventually stole that from the Romans

What? Greeks were speaking Greek last time I checked, nothing to do with the Latin or the Romans.

Oh, and galaxy definitely originates from the Greek word "Γαλαξίας".
