[ WP ] When they granted NASA 'unlimied budget ' for a whole year , they did n't expect them to hire professional Starcraft-players for resource-management .

`` State your will.'' 
 
 `` Well, Frank, we just need a progress report on the funding for the launch construction, we've been waiting a month for it.'' 
 
 `` Consider it done.'' 
 
 `` Oh, good, so you have it ready?'' 
 
 `` It's much more sophisticated...'' 
 
 `` Frank, I just need the dang report. I have to discuss it with the board on Friday, and we're almost...'' 
 
 `` Stop poking me!'' 
 
 The manager sighed, leaving Frank to his desk. Whatever, he could wing it, he'd already been having to do so for the last eight months. As he walked back to his office, he spotted another face on his list, and sighed. Maybe this time would go better... 
 
 `` Hey, Jim. Sorry, Jim87EliteZergRush. I've been meaning to catch up with you on that construction. Frank is... running a bit behind...'' 
 
 `` Explain this odd behavior.'' 
 
 `` Well, you know how he can be, always wrapped up in his own little world, its hard to get him to follow a deadline, he prefers to just game on and ignore the rest of the staff.'' 
 
 `` Of course. You have persecuted us for generations.'' 
 
 `` What...? Oh, never mind. Anyway, did you get those blueprints done?'' 
 
 `` Research complete.'' 
 
 `` Entirely? No sudden, last minute surprises or changes? This is the final draft?'' 
 
 `` Upgrade complete.'' 
 
 `` Good, good... well, that's something, at least. Did anything come up that we're running short on?'' 
 
 `` You must construct additional pylons.'' 
 
 `` More bracing for the rocket, got it.'' 
 
 `` You've not enough minerals.'' 
 
 `` Listen, we've got an unlimited budget here, I'll get you what you need. What are you going to require to manufacture the pylons?'' 
 
 `` Power overwhelming. We need more Vespene Gas.'' 
 
 `` Fuel?'' 
 
 `` Immediately. We burn...'' 
 
 `` Great, I'll get you a pump line out to your station.'' 
 
 `` As you will.'' 
 
 `` Good, good. Man, it's so hard keeping up a conversation with these Trekkies, or whatever they are. They just keep bouncing around, unable to get anything done. We need more focus...'' 
 
 `` Actually, sir, it's just a matter of direction. You're doing a good job leading us, but we're so used to our injokes and references that we're practically incapable of communicating otherwise. Think of it like, if you spent twenty years in Tokyo, immersed in the culture, and then got airdropped back into the US and ordered to get to work. Naturally, you're going to have difficulty transitioning back into that language, and keep slipping into Japanese when caught off guard. Also, it's StarCraft, not Star Trek or Star Wars, like you keep mixing up.'' 
 
 `` Those are all good point, I suppose... I'll keep'em in... hey, wait a damn minute, do you mean that you've been able to speak in non-quote the whole time, and have just been messing with me?!'' 
 
 `` Affirmative. Haha, at last, we hear you.'' 
 
 `` What was it, then? Did I accidentally quote something, too?'' 
 
 `` I thought you'd see it our way.'' 
 
 `` DAMN IT. I'm about two seconds away from kicking your ass.'' 
 
 `` Do not provoke me to violence.''
