Chocolate Rain

On Phobonos there's a chance that an acid rainstorm can occur and the player will have to attempt blocking the acid from the inside of the shuttle (strength) or the outside (agility). If the latter choice is unsuccessful, A.S.T.R.O. will say this:

“

During the acid storm, you ran up onto the slippery shuttle to seal the leak, but you kept stumbling and losing your footing on the hull. Eventually you gave up. The chemical rain leaked into the shuttle and got everywhere, even as you tried to sweep it away. It was enough to make everyone spew up the last portion of soup they enjoyed. Some stay dry, and others feel the stomach pain. Acid rain!

”

The last lines "Some stay dry, and others feel the stomach pain. Acid rain!" are a reference to the song Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday. The specific lyrics referenced:

“

Some stay dry and others feel the pain. Chocolate Rain.
