cmb_yes is an impressive terminal beat in CMB with reaction "He nods in [if submission of Progue > 0]surprise and gratitude[otherwise]acceptance[end if]. 'Good,' he says, 'far more important than dreams and pyramids and whatever and whatever. Tell me, tell me when you're finished.' He closes his eyes again.".

cmb_cant is an annoying terminal beat in CMB with reaction "He grunts, face falling in disappointment. 'Then it's over,' he says, 'the beach will never be-- not again, can't--' he struggles for words, then gives up, shrugging. 'Our own choices,' he mutters.'".

cmb_wont is an annoying unaffinitive submissive terminal beat in CMB with reaction "He looks up at you angriy. 'Don't understand,' he says, 'doing wrong... the beach is what's important, what's important...' He turns away. 'Go then and go. And go and go.'".
