Ah Dan, sorry to hear that you're having motto problems. This is pretty minor compared to when the aliens come here announcing that they're here "To Serve Man." I feel for you when you go up into the ship expecting maybe a nice back rub or a foot massage and find out what "To Serve Man" really means.
You can reprise Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now moaning, "The horror...the horror..." with "The motto...the motto..."
I bet if you tell them that you're a diver, maybe they'll make you into a nice bouillabaisse.
