    Wait. “This soon”? Implying that she had a plan for being framed in the first place? o_O

      She expected it not planed it, though you never know.

        Plan B should involve a young man sticking some implement where it doesn’t belong and getting blasted halfway across the room while conveniently blowing all the fuses in the detention block.

        Oh, Hai! Dr Mendoza! Here, take this butter knife…

        Everybody needs something to believe in. I believe I’ll have another shot of bourbon.

          Somehow, your comment called up all kinds of dirty images in my head.

          I’m going to go have a lie-down now…

            That’s only because you know me casually. When you get to know me personally, I bring the videos…

            …as long as you bring the vodka.

    (TUNE: “America The Beautiful”, Katharine Lee Bates & Samuel A. Ward)

    How pitiful, that I’ve been framed
    By some dumb rogue A.I. …
    And I’m afraid that I’ll be blamed
    When all my bosses die!
     America! America!
     The land that will be fried,
     We must defend until the end …
     That’s why you were shanghaied!

    How pitiful, I’m trapped behind
    These bars of energy …
    It’s hit the fan, so never mind
    That sexy Doctor Lee!
     America! America!
     It’s bad, and getting worse!
     Recruiting you, I threatened to
     Collapse the multiverse!

    Hmm, the “New War” in caps. Has Violet mention the Old War before?

    There’s a lot of Mad Patriotism going around, and folks that will use it.

    Has been for about two hundred years now….

      Alot longer than that.

      Prior to the American Revolution, Europe’s version were religious crusades both of the sectarian christian and ‘liberate the holy land’ versions.

      Then the trade/colonization wars of the 14th thru 18th centuries C.E.

      Today – the middle east is trying to dig out of that same morass – Religious factions migrating/mutating into political/national/corporate factions.

    ….The person at Bee’s controls miles from here is General Thunderbolt Ross, isn’t it.

      I was thinking General Ripper, but she hasn’t mentioned her precious bodily fluids yet.

      Seriously? You consider hyper-american jingoism a positive trait?

    She’s manipulative, a liar, and would probably kick a puppy. So why do I fan-crush on Violet Bee so much? XD

    I take it, then, that Madblood isn’t involved in the design of St. Charlie? Those energy bars aren’t exactly his style (c.f. “Professor Madblood and the Doppelganger Gambit”).
