The sort of greeting you get depends
on where you are, who you are, what polity or empire or representative
you are approaching, what augments you have, what memetic orientation,

here in the terminus biolocker. I would suggest visiting The Good Medic
for assistance in removing them."

of a NoCoZo Conceptualization
Implant Advertisement, the text of which can be roughly summed up as,
"Buy JolaCola - nothing else tastes you as well!", complete with a
subliminal lust implant, a salivation enhancer, and certain other
bio-emotional triggers)
"ArphidCo welcomes you to Arphid. We thank you for
your interest in Arphid Corporate Technologies, and request you input
your personal identifier(s) for our dedicated security sentients'
attempt to clear you for access to the information you requested..."
