Razor frowns.
"One of them. Unfortunately, Chips only struck the helmet on the other one. And I'm not counting on our captive revealing their accomplice."
That would not have happened if it had been left to you. But that's not your concern at the moment.
"They were plotting to start a... mutiny. That was what they said."
"Yes, you and Chips have both reported that already."
"Then, the one who escaped... they might go ahead and start it."

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
