    So a step up from the IMF where only the tape self-destructed in 30 seconds.

    That tape deck is now on workman’s comp indefinitely. This was cheaper.

    This gentleman has the potential to be a good DM. All we have to do now is train him in the proper distribution of monsters and treasure chests. ^_^

      You don’t even need need to give him monsters and treasure chests. Give him a copy of Mercenaries, Spies, and Private Eyes and make him a Game Master and turn him loose.

    Would he be pleased or annoyed if he knew teams were collectively child-safing and adding wheelchair accessibility to his deathtraps?

      Possibly both. On the one hand, they’re making them less deadly. But on the other hand, they are showing some intelligence, preparedness, and teamwork.

      He would probably consider that as a sign that they are ready for Level 2….

    And note of course this was _approved_ by Asig leadership who consider themselves sane.It doesn’t seem to be as much a case of the lunatics running the asylum as of matryoshka madhouses.

    There’s nothing strange about him, He’s just another ‘Mis-matching’ engineer….angry, yes, but strange? Nothing strange about him in the Industries.
    Guys like HIM show up all the time.

    Does this guy remind anyone else of Peck, from Ghostbusters?

        So hard to tell in these crude drawings. Claims have been made by other characters, but who knows?

    A Social Darwinism approach to corporate synergy. On the one hand, the survivors are stronger and more effective than ever. On the other hand, employee turnover and recruitment has to be a nightmare.

    A whole new meaning to the phrase, “Watch the Tram Car Please”.

    Who’s in charge again? Peirson or Mr. Ask?

      There’s a subtle (sometimes not so subtle) difference between “in charge” and “in control”.

        in mad scientist hierarchies, status is often established by who rants best, and Peirson definitely has the edge there.

          He also has the advantage of being the one to leave death traps in his wake. That has a tendency to put others at your mercy (as if he has any).

        control, being, as they say, an illusion. And, of course, the claime that one is in and/or out of control is a kind of control so… REGRESSION… and down the rabbit hole…

          If one claims to be in control, he is almost certainly wrong. Peirson controls by his actions, and therefore does not need to make the claim.

    The Shadows have had influence within EarthGov for a long time, I see.

    It also promotes punctuality.
