Alternative description text, contributions WANTED
#1
Information 
Rarely we offer alternative descriptions for certain items. An example below is the captain's scabbard:


Code:
get_desc(var/dist, var/mob/user)
    if (user.mind && user.mind.assigned_role == "Captain")
      . = "A stylish container for your sabre. Made from the finest metals NT can afford, or so you've heard."
    else
      . = "A tacky container for a sword. Hey! This thing's actually just plastic painted to look like metal! What a ripoff!"

There's a lot of potential here to have fun with job specific text and maybe even some LORE so I'm looking for quality suggestions. I think it would be great if engineers would geek out about tech items, botanists about plants etc...

I like the idea of specialist jobs knowing more detail about an item at a glance - however I want to caution against playing gimmick descriptions like the cap's sword into the ground.

This would work really well for the Medical staff knowing more about certain healing chemicals/equipment.
