    Guys, I think Mr. Green knows what you’re up to. He just doesn’t care. 🙂

      Given his history, the answer to panel tour’s question is always “yes”. The next question should be “How will this fit into his plans?”

    I love how they make this extra ridiculous, I think the double piloted rat drone bit really takes the cake, that’s why I love it so.

    And there are not 2,300,009 invisible blood-sucking vampire ghosts.

      It’s the 9 that sells it, why would the number be that specific?

        That’s exactly why Rincewind added it.

    Echo Bravo’s the guy Mr Green sends when he wants a job to be done badly, so his feelings about mutant vermin are just another thing to give him confidence in his abilities.

    Mind, I’m not too sure what Mr Green does when he wants something to be done properly.

      Off the top of my head, I don’t recall Mr. Green ever getting anything done properly (mind you, I’m really tired right now, and I’m sorely overdue for an archive binge, so I won’t be surprised if someone very quickly points out something I’ve forgotten). He personally botched every attempt to date (translate: kidnap) Virginia Lee.

      Dr. Englebright was one of the few competent (sort of) people on staff who hasn’t bailed on him, but IIRC, she is now suffering from reality blindness.

      He must’ve been at least moderately successful to have gotten this far, but honestly, I can’t understand how.

        I assumed he had some of Jonah’s foresight from the Second Gate.

        In an ironic twist, maybe Fake Ira really _is_ going senile.

        He is a giv’t bureaucrat. They don’t have to be competent at their job to get promoted, merely competent at getting promoted. Two completely different skills.

          Voyager: Anasigma is a private contractor which Ira runs, which means he has to have some skill at turning whatever it is they’re doing into money.

            A private contractor mostly undertaking mostly government (indeed, military) contracts. They’re drowning in a sea of public subsidy, like Silicon Valley.

        Peter Principle at work. Mr. Green is a great underling and excels at the politics to get in charge of a murderous secret organization.

        Good god! I just realized how much a mirror to Sweetheart he is.

      When he wants something done properly he does it himself, like he did just now or when he was undercover for years.

    I’m so glad they’re dating him. This is so my jam.

      Maybe they’ll defect and join the exodus to Planet Lovetron.

    Would’a thought that relationship would’a come to an end after they had that big blowup…

    I’m looking forward to them combining their mission and a date.

    E. B. and A. A. deny that they have knowledge from dating a rat. The detail’s the devil, ’cause they’re chosen to level Kansas hippie encampment thereat.

      It might be easier done than said, with most of the encampment planning on leaving earth anyway.

        That suggests a compromise. NHS depart for Lovetron aboard Mothership, leaving smoking crater behind so A.A. and E.B. can claim “mission accomplished”.

          Which means that there’s going to be some massive cock-up to derail such a simple resolution.
