Subject: [PATCH] Vocal mimicry for synxes

trying to write a vocal mimicry system.

this might be very spagheti and attempts to integrate the existing pet mimicry into the base synx to try and make use of the mob speak list as a storage for random sentences to choose from as well as adding the `voices` list to store names of people, yes this does include yourself if you play as a synx and use say instead of speak, no you should not be using say as a synx in the first place.

Might populate the say for synxes and voices for synxes with random voices and sentences so they dont start at 0
