Ooh well I'm naat in chaarge an' all, but suure you can ask me anything, yaknoo.

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

And before ya go playin' like the penguin that ate the squid with all this water cooler talk, yaknoo darn well squee-ee clack that this jabber jaw session's strictly aaff the record.

[Tiberius Anar]

Do you have a lucky tool? If so, when did you realise it was lucky?

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Ooh suure, that would be my trusty somaflange binder. Oh, she's been with me all the way back to my workshaap apprentice days back on Giju. Lemme tell ya, yoou doon't waant a bad somaflange seal that'll ruin your day toot sweet now. Never had a bad seal with her, noo siree. She doesn't look like much, suure, but that's like saying all baby penguins look alike. You can bet yoour baattom credit that mama penguin there knows which one's her baby, boy howdy. Soo yaah, maaaybe she's naat lucky, maaaaybe it's just that she hasn't let Gradoona down yet. And yaknoo, that's with some tough bind jobs with some pretty sketchy somaflanges! Anyhoo, I put my name on the back with a little engraver. I doo thaat with all my tools though. I don't care who you are now. We can be best buds, heck, we could even share nuptials and have two cats and a daag, but yoou're naat gonna touch my tools. I doon't love anyone that much.

[Akasha Khan]

What would you do if you were in charge? Say you were Empress for a day. What would that day look like?

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Ooh dear, well noo one's ever asked me thaat. Gee well I dunnoo. I kiiinda doon't goo around paaliticking yaknoo. Seems like a whole laatta jabberin' about naat much. But, suppooosin' I was queen bee for a day, hmm...

First I guess I'd call aaff the whole war thing yaknoo. Do we reeally need to be fightin all the time? I mean suure folks get out of soorts and all, but I've never been put out by someone bad enough to let the sun set down on it. I'd tell all the other big shots to come and sit at a table and break penguins and I think we'd see we're all good people once we get past all that rigamarole.

I guess I'd aaalsoo pass a law about standardized parts. Boy howdy that would be a load aaff my shoulders donchaknoo.

[Damon Void]

So, like, yah know, what do you think of the Station so far, and junk?

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Well, I knoo moost folks aren't super keen aan settin' up shop in a symbol of Imperial hegemony oor what have you, but I kiiinda like it. The Empire miiiiight be a totalitarian fascist regime and all, but they suure knoow how to build things! Everything's ooversized and ooverbuilt yaknoo. And all standardized to boot. This girl here appreciates things like that. Makes it easy to tinker aan most bits.

[Ydran Esk'avar]

Do you have a criminal record to declare?

Not as if I don't already know...

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Ooh gee...(gulps)...well I did get a ticket once for ice fishin' without a license on Giju. Didn't even knooow I needed one! Really, I think the Imperial governor just made that up to generate revenue, but what can ya doo, yaknoo?

[Baastian Cain]

I've got a marine mammal coworker who's all business, all the time, and I'm trying to get her to open up a little and have some fun. Do you have any suggestions?

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Well, aside from a gooood looong real actual bath, I dunnoo. Depends aan the mammal yaknoo? Does she like penguins? Praabably naat, eh? Well, the bath thing helps, I bet! I know when I've had a real dirt kicking kinda day, nothing beats a nice big tub or pool oor what-have-ya. Well that and a pitcher oor two of Green Zygarrians, haa!

[Alexi Hesith]

I don't know if you've noticed but you mention penguins a lot. What's the deal there?

[Gradoona Pod-Floewander]

Huh. Well geepers, I never thought about that! I guess I kiiinda doo, doon't I? Never really thought about how aaften it comes up in Herglese turns of phrase. It's just paart and paarcel of all soorts of sayings. I guess what I'm saying is that jabberin' and gooin' aan about penguins is about as Herglic as...as...penguin pie. Oh heck, I did it again!

Oh shoot, now I want penguin pie. Soo nostaalgic!
