Humans are weird: Glory to the Core
Alien: What do you mean you're withdrawing?
Human: The offensive has failed.
Human: We’ve lost over half our regiment and half that remain are barely walking wounded; so we’re getting rotated out.
Alien: You get your nose bloodied once and you retreat like cowards?
Human: What part of losing over half our regiment did you fraking miss?
Human 2: *shambles over with injured leg.
Human 2: It’s too fraking early for shouting.
Human: Well tell it to this prick calling us cowards.
Alien: You still live yet no flee the battlefield; hence you are cowards.
Human 2: Are you naturally this stupid or is it a new development?
Alien: Choose you words carefully, lest I take you remaining good leg.
Human 2: You better fraking do it because you’re going to need the handicap for the ass whooping I’m about to give you.
Human 2: *draws combat knife
Human 2: Get your scaly ass over here; I’m going to turn you into a dentist waiting room sofa.
Human: Don’t look at me; I’ve not idea what that means either.
Human Commander: *kicks in door knocking human 2 on to the floor
HC: What is going on here!?
HC: *Looks down at H2 laying on floor with knife in hand
HC: Son, what in the nine hells of Kaleb are you doing on the floor?
H2: Searching for my will to live, sir.
HC: You’re in the core, boy; you’re will to live was the first thing we took from you!
HC: Now what is all this screaming about!?
H1: Just a lively discussion about tactics, sir.
Alien: More like the lack of them on your part.
HC: *Rapidly rounds on alien
HC: I’m sorry, but did I ask you a goddamn thing?!!
HC: Your translation unit must be malfunctioning because that was not an invitation to speak!
HC: It is in your best interest to get down on those corkscrews you call knees and pray to whatever god felt bad enough to be your patron and listen before you open those sagging lips again!
HC: Every man and woman here is ready to die for their country, provided they take about twenty sorry bastards with them.
HC: The difference is when we do so we die with a purpose!
HC: The core did not invest so much time and money to be wasted every time some grunt wants to reenact glory!
