A quote for the USS Leeds... - Scifi-Meshes.com

2cvbloke · 11-20-2006, 11:01 PM

Ok, cos I'm really into making the USS Leeds more than just a prop in DS9, I've started on a Dedication Plaque, but I'm stuck for a phrase (like the Enterprise's "...to boldly go.. etc"), and all I keep thinking is "Eh up lad, there's trouble at' mill..." which is a fairly local Lancashire/Yorkshire phrase (for those who are not in the UK), but is a bit stereotypical for Leeds itself.

So does anyone have any ideas for what I should put on my Plaque for the Leeds?

..I've been waiting for this. I might have a suggestion.

"we'll never be as famous as the Enterprise" or "Leeds United are at the bottom again?". lol

"My other ship is a Sovereign"

"We could have taken the bus, but this looked faster"

Or perhaps a nice quote from the great Captain himself;

"Risk, gentleman! That's why we're aboard her!"
