Blitz and Diesel wish they had anti-armor weaponry to help them guard a corridor on a space ship.

You can use a Stapler to persist a spacefold to generate a wormhole.

hi how are you

sorry to hammer the point but what is MASAI supposed to stand for, and can you give a run down on what secretary of state Colin "smuggle anthrax into the UN" Powell did in this author's universe to earn the honor of having a Spacenavy Battle Cruiser named after him?

I'm pretty sure I haven't skipped what MASAI stands for, but I'll look.

As for Secretary of State Colin Powell having a ship named after him, maybe his deeds have grown exaggerated with time and the future of 2190 views him as some kind of hero?

Bitches love it when you call them names like "toothsome" and "sugartits."

Every guy should have a wingman like GEARS.

When they make the movie, GEARS is going to be everyone's favorite character.

More bickering about the as-yet-unrevealed callsign. I assume it's something insulting to the Asian Meow, but if it's not immediately apparent, I don't see why it's an issue they need to address right there.

I'm sure the real Von is actually even cooler and more muscular, but he had to tone it down or people would think the story was unrealistic.
