DISINTEGRATA
- Go nastily amid the peace and tranquility, and remember what satisfaction there may be in genocide.
- As far as possible, without surrender, move into other people's space.
- Lie often and loudly; and listen to the lies of others, even the slow and incompetent; examples can be made of them later.
- Seek out the meek and inoffensive persons; they are annoying, but fun to kill.
- Do not bother comparing yourself to others; those greater than you will eventually be eliminated, and those lesser than you are dead already.
- Fart in airlocks.
- Assassinate your superior as quickly as possible; your own career, however exalted, is not worth a plugged millo if one of your own junior officers gets it over your dead body.
- Exercise caution if one of your course changes suddenly produces a sensor ghost; for the galaxy is full of Federation vessels.
- But let this not blind you to the happier side of things; many starship captains are swaggering, tin-plated dictators with delusions of godhood, and everywhere life is full of incompetence.
- Advance yourself.
- Especially do not feign meanness, neither be cynical about hate; you are not likely to run out of either.
- Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the joys of defenestration and evisceration for more mature pleasures.
- Nurture a deep-seated suspicion of small furry creatures that purr; you never can tell.
- File your teeth regularly.
- Discipline is important; practice holding it inbetween planetfalls.
- You are a scourge of the universe, no less than your average interstellar plague or black hole; you have a right to be here.
- And whether or not it is clear to you, have no doubt the universe is going to pieces in a most laudable manner.
- Therefore do your utmost to annoy the destroyer, however you may conceive him, big bang, or entropy death; and whatever your plans of conquest, as you wade through the morasses of peace with fire and sword, annoy your soul.
- With all it's truth, high resolve, and courage, the world still has it's ugly spots.
- Be thoughtless.
- Strive to be miserable.
