Davin Valkri posted:Right, that's what I figured. Everybody was panicking about the Raptors coming in to gun us down this mission and I was wondering if I'd missed something, because I miss a lot of things. There was a time gap between us learning of the impending corp military presence and when exactly they would get here.

darthbob88 posted:No, it's a reference to Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla Inc and 80th-or-thereabouts-richest person in the world. He can probably buy a wing of F-22s with pocket money, plus command of the squadron. Uh... it's not a reference to Elon Musk, it actually is him? I just wondered if having Musk take to the battlefield with his own squadron of superplanes is meant to be a parody of another sci-fi mercenary group with really expensive, high-end gear. Contrast this to our kitchen sink airforce.
