Expanded Beginnings

he raises an eyebrow at that and goes to get his own gun

*Garret has a variety of weapons in front of him, all of them non-Protectorate. Guess he doesn't have much experience with other firearms.*

sev is now limping around using crutches

he watches him as he fires down range

*He's a pretty good shot...for a grunt.*

he fires off a couple of hawk missiles from his armour

*Garret notices THAT.*

Garret: Mind not blowing a hole in the ship?

"relax, they're low power"

keili pats kharr on the chest

Garret: "Low power"!? Does "structural integrity" mean nothing to you? An explosion is an explosion!

he sighs
"cool it kid"

Garret: Right...said the man in the airtight suit....How does it feel to let that loose in a crowded space station? Break a few windows? Send a few dozen innocent people screaming into the vacuum of space?

"....who the fuck let lord commander von high horse on this ship?"

Garret: Oh please. You really think people in the Protectorate are as brainwashed as the sheep in the Systems Alliance? We know what you're like, N7.

"...keep going, this is the funniest shit i've heard all week"

Garret: Excuse me?

"this is genuinely hilarious that you're so stupid"

sev walks up to the bickering two
"you two shut the fuck up before my crippled ass has to kick yours"

Garret *ignoring Sev*: What makes me "so stupid" compared to a oh so high and mighty state sanctioned murderer?

"this is pure gold"

he headbutts garret and punches the N7

he's in full armour
the punch does fek all
"...Sev why did you do that you probably just hurt yourself"

*Garret just gives Sev an irritated look as he rubs his head and turns back to Robert.*

Garret: If you're going to call something "pure gold", at least have the fucking decency to explain why, bastard.

sev headbutts him again and uses the N7s weight against him tripping him with a crutch
sev: listen you bastards

it doesn't work cause its a full on battlesuit dude
not that simple
"sev...seriously what are you doing"

Garret *to Sev*: The hell is with you and heatbutting people!? Fuck.....

sev: whats with you two pissing off people

"............"

Garret: We were having a legitimate argument. Besides, it was just the two of us.

he sighs and leaves

"that was odd"

"So, where were we. oh yes you were working on your stand-up routine"

*Garret does not look amused.*

he's clearly grinning under his helmet

Garret: Why is this so funny to you?

"i find stupidity amusing"

Garret: I can't help but notice you're not denying what I said about you N7s. You're just ignoring it and trying to change the subject. What? Don't want to talk about all the people you've murdered?

"what's the point refuting something so obviously wrong its actually funny"

Garret: And how is it, to use your own words, "so obviously wrong"?

"put it this way kid. where did you learn that shit? propaganda maybe? your bosses telling you about us like we're trolls or the boogyman to scare kids to sleep?"

Garret: It's common knowledge across the entire Protectorate.

"and how is that knowledge spread?"

Garret: Media groups and the extranet.

".....AKA obvious propaganda"

Garret: And how can you be so sure you're not the one getting fed propaganda?

"....how is the N7 sure that himself killing innocents is propaganda, gee that's a tough one"

Garret: Uh huh....Well, you may deny the mass murder, but you can't deny that the Systems Alliance abducts biotic children.

"So one bad company does some fucked up shit decades ago and suddenly an entire faction is evil? that's some pristine logic right there kid, top notch, A plus" *slow clap*

Garret: Let's not forget how biotics are treated in the Systems Alliance. I'm sure the Soviets would be proud with how you force them all into military service. I mean, it's not like biotics are people.

"so is this gonna just be you angrily spewing propaganda at me for hours?"

Garret: That depends on whether or not you come up with an intelligent reply.
