what you are saying is you don't know what this. thing. is.
options.

gentlemen?
no.  it's just getting bigger.

all right, then! staedert?
yes?
i'm listening.
one more reason to shoot first eh?

that's exactly what we are going to try and do: protect the lives of some 200 billion of our fellow citizens! general? you may fire when ready.
staedert? give me a minute.  i have a doubt.
