A Newtype is basically an evolved human and they're almost like psychics.

if 40k and Starcraft have taught me anything, it's that human psionics in space are extremely bad things

When Newtypes get a tingly feeling in their brain from someone they'll basically murder whole planets for that person if they wanted them to

One of these days I'm going to get drunk and just write a terrible webcomic where the protag is just a merc playing all sides of a generic super robot war. Maybe name him Cannibal or something because his bot constantly gets destroyed in every fight and has to cannibalize other parts to be this ugly loving monster of metal just like him.

I get a tingly feeling that this is not hyperbole or a theoretical scenario in the least.

Banagher: They way you describe the war, is nothing like how my professor does!
Minerva: My grandpa murdered a half-crazy philosopher, handed power over to my Literally Hitler uncle, my dad died piloting the Oh Hey Big Zam, and then our best pilot went absolutely batshit and tried to plow a meteor into Earth to settle his mancrush. That's the war.

Alright so imagine National Treasure except instead of a map on the back of the Declaration, it's the first draft of the Constitution with a secret paragraph that got taken off the final

why the gently caress are you dumping exposition that requires concise attention during action scenes that absorb the viewer's attention

So is the Earth Federation attacking the colony to stop the tradeoff and capture/kill the red-hair girl?
