"THE MESSENGER"

Ma'am, three more cities were captured today, two without incident.		Only two?
\		/

Well, the third city, Reset, gave up without a hitch. But the squad that was sent to its ROM folder...		Let me guess.
/		/

All 27 ships wiped out, no survivors.		Yeah. But at least, as you ordered, they destroyed the Kid Radd games before... whoever, whatever got them.
\		\|

Indeed. Soldier, you know those movie scenes where the bad guy kills the messenger, just to show the audience how evil he is?		Uh, y-yeah?...
/		/

Well, I don't do that sort of thing. It's too impractical, not to mention cliché.		Oh. Whew! That's quite gracious of you, ma'am.
/		/

Infliction of gratuitous pain is enough for me. It's almost as much fun, with no need to hire replacements.		That's very intelligent...
