I guess the only one i didnt "get" is the Scavenger one??
The Scavenger tech quote, like the Controlled Fire blurb (and perhaps others) are lines from Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. I don't think there's anything to get unless they strike your funny bone. Just quips.
Anyway, Hydromancerx, I'll record the new quotes and upload them some time in the nebulous vagary of EST tomorrow. If there are any others listed at time, I'll read them as well.

Thats what i mean, i didnt get the voice part of the "little person" about 1/4 ways in?? Maybe i am just to old to get it
@ Hydromancerx you're welcome, i know they aren't the best, i said they are the best i could find
in quote searching the most difficult ones to find are quotes about prehistoric stuff or about really far future stuff. keep in mind when you will want to record later tech quotes, i know some of the may be weird or too long but there where the best i could find.
yes i did the search for most of the future tech quotes too

As advertised, here are the previously requested tech blurbs. There's a link to a zip containing all twenty-six that I've done; individual mp3s can be located in the spoiler tag.

@Grimith
Thanks for all the ones you have done so far. Here are some more;
One to replace the soft quotes ...
Architecture
I doubt if there is anything in the world uglier than a Midwestern city.
Balloon Warfare
Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.
Plough (A little long but I like it)
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
Some quote that have no audio yet ...
Fire Making
Son of Iapetus, surpassing all in cunning, you are glad that you have outwitted me and stolen fire -- a great plague to you yourself and to men that shall be.
Sewing
With fingers weary and worn, with eyelids heavy and red, A woman sat in unwomanly rags, lying her needle and thread. Stitch! Stitch! Stitch!
Tanning
Tis the same to him who wears a shoe, as if the whole earth were covered with leather.
Map Making
A good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there.
Vassalage
As the king lives, so live his vassals.
Bead Making
On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels.
Barter
Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.
Mountaineering
He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.
Stargazing
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Thanks again!
@C2C Team
This one is WAY too long.
Hot Air Balloons
"After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, "Oh! Life is so hard!" and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die." - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Can someone please come up with a new one? Thanks.

"Plying", isn't it? Certainly not 'lying'.
"Up, up and away, in my beautiful, my beautiful, ballooooooooon..."
But seriously, that's good enough isn't it? It's better than many.
Hot Air Balloons
"The balloon seems to stand still in the air while the earth flies past underneath." Alberto Santos-Dumont
"Half the art of ballooning is to make your crashes so gentle that you can fool yourself into calling them landings." Richard Branson, pilot and founder of Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Galactic

Haha I like the latter one!
Right-o, Hydromancerx. I even included the second "Hot Air Balloons" quip by cdman1990 because, well, it was there. Also, a compressed catalogue of these thirteen files with no spaces for strategyonly:

The individual file names do not deviate:

Great job Grimith! Here are some more.
Agricultural Tools
Agriculture represents the single most profound ecological change in the entire 3.5 billion-year history of life.
Apiculture
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
Elephant Domestication
The Indian Elephant is said sometimes to weep.
Seafaring
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Naval Warfare
A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace.
Shamanism
The knowledge of the realm of death makes it possible for the shaman to move freely back and forth and mediate these journeys for other people.
Military Training
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Sculpture
The best artist has that thought alone which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
Stirrup
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
Fundamentalism
The main doctrine of a fanatic's creed is that his enemies are the enemies of God.
Clockworks
I wasted time, and now doth Time waste me: For now hath Time made me his numb'ring clock; My thoughts are minutes.
Heraldry
Heraldry is the fusion of fact and fancy, myth and manner, romance and reality. It is an exuberant union of family, art, and history.
Usury
Usury once in control will wreck the nation.
Many thanks in advance!
@C2C Team
Note that many of these already have audio quotes but do not match the text. I am recommending we remove the old audio quite and use Grimith's new audio quote that actually match the text quotes.

Hey hyrdo,
So I finally got the activation letter from CFC. Send me whatever quotes you need to be redone and I'll record them ASAP.

Ok here is your first one to see how your audio comes out. Don't forget to include the "ding".
Chivalry
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Hydro, I was wondering whether I could help with some quotes, I can set up an appointment with a sound room and do a few quotes. If you need help elsewhere, just send me a link to where I can chip in

@BlackDragon2026
All help is welcome since we have so many techs that need audio. The requirements that strategyonly has said is that we need someone who can speak clearly, has a lower voice and that you add the "ding" to the audio.
Here is a quote to for you.
Metallurgy
The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storm.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for ignoring you. Here is a tech quote for you as well ...
Navigation
Though pleas'd to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way.
Thanks in advance!
