Lines
Flavour text on encounter:
 * I am Ozymandius, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and Despair.

On being hired:
 * Yes, YEESSS! Look on my future works, ye mighty, and *bzzzz bzz bzzz* desp- *bzzzz bzzzz* despair!

On being rejected:
 * You would reject the wisdom of eons to save a few coins. Fools that you are; the Remnant will surely find you and do unto you as they did unto us.

On being fired:
 * Tossed to the solar winds, then. My people may be gone, but I will always hold their memories, and my pride.

If the player is too poor:
 * Once, long ago, I was a king. Riches were mine in measures beyond counting. Your civilization was microbial when I ruled the stars. But alas it was indeed a very long time ago, and riches beyond measure have, over time, become measurable.And this displeases me. In short, if you will not pay me, I will not join you.

Trivia
Ozymandius is a reference to the poem "Ozymandius" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, first published in 1818:

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.
