OK, when I read the sign I assumed it indicated that either the AI had a sense of humor, or that he employed someone who did.
But you being surprised that folks read the signs, I'm wondering if it is canon?
Nope, and about six and a half years from 'now' I'm going to severely mangle one of his tunes as a tribute to one of the characters. I'm not going to say which tune or which character :)
Love that graphic with the waves from the head. Good to see some rock and roll survives. And isn't everyone fluent in English in the future? You dare defy the trope!
Well, if you were to go by the cities' names, New Troy and New Sparta would have a primary language derived from Greek, just as Nova Roma's residents speak modern Latin. Perhaps English is a secondary language.
english as a standard city language is a drifted launguage.
everyone speaks whats called "standard" now for the sake of the readers its "english" but its actually a mish mash of conrtactions . other launguages and other stuff. it would sound like non sense to us - although you would be able to catch a word here and there - Standard was a attempt to "standardize" launguages for communication and was adopted by most everyone as a "trade launguage" New Troy has a inner speak thats slightly diffrent , the andriods have speedspeak and even Luna has a variated launguage - although luna is the least corrupted. roma has "latin" and the wastes have yet another broken up luanguge...
Now - the A.I.S. systems do speak perfect english -- and almost every other language.
I would love to hear the backstory of just how Acantha found her way into that complex without being turned to ash in the first place. Are we gonna see that?
"Smile all activity is monitored" With the orbital defense cannon aimed at anything that breathes that would seem a motto to live by. What I'm worried about, Lynn identifying the AI parts Aeneas deciding she is a threat to him and removing her.
Lynn and Aeneas
Might have something
To talk to each other about...
(Aluminum foil hats must be in somewhat short supply in The Future!)
I think I see why TR likes him too.
Personell Must wear aluminumn foil hats at all times?....wwhat the heck were they using in there!!?!?!?!?

You can't see the panel borders out here!

*(Except TR of course.)
(Also a clear image of the PCR warning poster would be nice.
If you are feeling generous.
It would make a fine T-shirt.)
(Here is a TFH that might meet criteria.
Ill see about the sign :D
thats too cute :D
Aluminum Hat zone really would make a great tee!
"PRE-"OOPS""
What a massive load of irony!
(You could build a bridge!)
But it took me this long
To come up with a nuanced response!*
Is it a common usage, or is Acantha being erudite?
*(And then be in the right humor
to pull the button.)
*** "Almost never used actually :P
*(An elegant concept indeed.)
Though I'm not sure that was even the silliest thing in that film, all in all...
