There's a downside to everything...

Don't misunderstand me. That mission was awesome, it really was! Turned out Shiro is still alive, Kusuha and Bullet got an awesome new unit, we've shown those Silentium bastards what humanity is capable of, and nobody died! Our mecha just got hit very badly, and I didn't envy the guys who would be repairing them after the fight

Hey, the fact that you came back intact enough to complain about anything is something to be thankful for.

[wetnoodleguy]

What if I returned only to drop dead from overworking, though?

[klan_klan_klan]

Oh, take it like a man. I'm sure even a lowly human like you can survive this.

[wetnoodleguy]

Depends on the amount of beauties that's going to cry at my funeral!

[klan_klan_klan]

I suppose I could fit the time into my schedule to pay my respects to the deceased. I'm not promising tears, though.

[wetnoodleguy]

Maybe that's for the better - your tears would drown everyone involved!

[klan_klan_klan]

Don't make me destroy you with my many and varied alien powers.

[wetnoodleguy]

Can you shoot eye beams or make people's heads explode?

[klan_klan_klan]

Both at once.

[wetnoodleguy]

Show me, show me! Just not on me, take a practice target!

[klan_klan_klan]

Sorry, but I took an oath to only use my alien powers during times of great need.

[wetnoodleguy]

We're surrounded by 9001 various enemy factions, and there's at least two attacks each week. If that doesn't count as times of great need, what does?

[klan_klan_klan]

How about a situation where blowing up practice targets for your entertainment is actually relevant?

[wetnoodleguy]

Want to go to the shooting range, then?

[klan_klan_klan]

Sorry, but my afternoon's booked with a meeting with my brothers and sisters in the Ancient Zentraedi Overlord Council.

[wetnoodleguy]

Ancient? Just how old are you, really?
