THE PERSONALITY WAREHOUSE
This shop is located on the bazzar square in the main Space Station
for Serabi (10003,10002,10003 for those with sysgen). Patrons looking for
cargo or just shopping my be set upon by a small, bright yellow ball bouncing
through the air and exclaiming "HiYa!" in a cheery voice. It will bounce
around and try to attract customers to the shop.
The Personality Warehouse specialises in giving mechanical objects
"personalities". Anything from a desk calculator to a ship's computer can
be so modified. It is accomplished through ultra small speakers, sensors,
and computing components. Prices range from 100Cr for a purse that screams
when you open it to 1MCr for a complex and fully interactive addition to your
ship's computer. Generally assume 10Cr per word vocabularly. Different
inflections or being triggered by specific things count as more words.
The shop has several items on display. There is "The Guru"; a small
elderly person who makes Zen like responses to philosophical questions. An
attachment that can be placed almost anywhere that can be programmed with
ten choice insult to hurl at passer-bys. The more complex programs may be
"interviewed" via a computer terminal. They comprise a wide variety of uses
from a simple to use user interface for a passenger ship to cargo wise
managers for merchants.

My own players bought three things here that might be useful as examples.
1) For the assistant engineer (laid up in bed so missing the leave) they
got her calculator modified to say "You can press my buttons anytime" in
either a husky male of female voice (depending on the presser). Price 150Cr.
2) A small ball of fluff with eyes on it that shouts "HiYa!" to anyone who
passes it. Price 100Cr.
3) For their currently absent Captain (the one who kidnapped them) they got
a personalised mug. When sipped it murmmurs, moans and sweet nothings with
increasing intensity as the liquid is drained until with the last drop the
ejaculations reach their natural climax. Price 1600Cr (they clubbed together).
I assume 10Cr = $1.
