[WP] "...as big a job as the pyramids. For a pre-stone age people." "1600 tons of rock excavated, to get this 60 ton slab of rock down into this cavern." "I had to take them decades, every waking moment, the entire tribe." "What the hell's under that slab?"

[WP] You're the general in charge of the US's new weapon, Thor. Satellites that drop 10 ft (3m) titanium rods from orbit that strike with the force of a nuclear bomb. The military had long used the alert 'Broken Arrow' to refer to lost nuclear weapons. You awake to the alert message 'Stolen Hammer'.

[WP] I figured out that reality is all just a simulation, way too many glitches. Simple things like walking through furniture, oranges tasting like licorice. I could pretty much do what I want. Nothing was real, there were no actual consequences. But this is one very realistic jailcell.

[WP] The director hung up the phone, "MI5 just shot up Time's Square trying to get this guy. It's off the rails." "Maybe it's like an urban legend, the guy doesn't have anything, everyone just thinks he does." That statement nearly confirmed the director's suspicions about his most trusted advisor.

[WP] You're worried to find the Intranational Space Station has a self destruct. You're worried that it's labeled, and has instructions. What really worries you is that English is the second language in the instructions. The first is Harborian, an obscure language that died out 11,000 years ago.

[WP] The powerful hand jabbed again at the will, as the confused young lawyer stammered, "As executor, I inherit everything?" The old man's life support hummed as again his powerful hand jabbed at the sentence "...within the grounds of Wayne Manor and the executor shall assume all associated tasks."
