YALL ZHOU IS IN Q2 HELL YEAH BABY LETS GO ZHOUUUUUUU

[llycaons]

Apologies for quibbling but I don't want people to get the wrong idea abt comc, also feel free to correct me but I just finished the book so I feel like most of it is fresh

I wouldn't be surprised if dantes was inspired by dumas himself but I don't recall anything in the book to indicate he was also mixed? dumas mentions he has black hair and dark eyes but also that he has a terrible and permanent pale complexion after many years of imprisonment. mercedes and fernand might have darker skin since they're catalans? but that's still...a region of europe

otherwise, saying there's 'a ton of poc' in comc is a little misleading imo. it's a book that leans upon orientalist tropes both for dumas's deal-life audience and dantes's parisian targets - it's a little more complex than simply 'there's a lot of characters of color'

there's Ali, the 'mute Nubian slave', who is intelligent and loyal but never does much but what the count orders, and who owes his life to the count. we get the sense that if Ali really wanted to leave, dantes would let him go with as much money as he needed. but Ali won't, because the count is just that great to work for. but the image Ali helps him present is very useful to dantes as he takes in his marks.

the exoticized young woman haydeé is greek, her father is albanian, and while I do enjoy her character and her courage in exposing her father's betrayal, she's presented with the sort of mysterious allure associated w orientalist depictions of young women, and despite the fact that dantes bought her as a slave as a teenager, treated her as a daughter, and freed her, she continues to refer to him as her lord and master, and they get married in the end. but she's a christian so um, I guess dumas was like don't worry about THAT I guess

dantes spends a lot of time with smugglers and sailors early on in the book, and if there were characters ofncolor mentioned there I don't recall because that was so long ago for me. but those would still be nameless and extremely minor characters

overall....maybe? IF you apply 'poc' VERY generously? look, a young man leaves the story to help colonize algeria as a soldier at the end and is lauded for it by dantes itself. it's not a claim I would make without a lot of disclaimers and explanations, and it's certainly not an aspect of the book I'd consider most important, not in comparison to its themes of religion, revenge, justice, or even just how to love when it seems all hope is lost

I will agree that eugénie is heavily implied to be a lesbian tho, and there's even a potential reading for her as transmasc. I can back that up

9-1-1 REACTION

This reaction is for the season 7, second episode “Rock the Boat” which originally aired March 21, 2024. The episode was written by Lyndsey Beaulieu and Juan Carlos Coto and directed by executive producer and Glee and American Horror Story director Bradley Buecker. Spoilers ahead!

“Stay calm and nobody will be hurt.” – Boris, the pirate

We begin the episode by picking up where we left off. Bobby, Athena, and Norman Peterson (played by Daniel Roebuck) are taken hostage along with Captain Ochoa (played by Mercedes Colon). We learn the reason the pirates have come aboard is because the ship has been turned around due to the approaching tropical storm. The lead pirate, Boris (played by Nikita Bogolyubov), asks Norman to hand over the dongle in exchange for Lola (played by Romy Rosemont). Another pirate walks over with a bound and gagged Lola. Norman insists he doesn’t have the dongle and Boris gives him to the count of three to turn it over. Bobby and Athena intervene on Norman’s behalf and for a moment Boris accuses them of having the dongle. He tells them that he’s only messing with them and then he shoots Norman. 

Cue title card.

Bobby goes to assist Norman while Athena tries to talk Boris down. Athena deduces that Lola is having an affair with the cruise director, Julian (Rick Cosnett). She explains that when Norman called Julian over to their table a few nights ago, she noticed Lola wouldn’t look him in the eye. Turns out, Julian is the one with the dongle and after he gets roughed up a bit, he turns it over along with the password. Norman is heartbroken by all of this and asks to die. Boris and the other pirates flee the ship now that they have what they need and Athena escorts Lola away. Bobby carries Norman to a nearby casino and places him on a craps table so he can access his injuries. The ship’s doctor (played by Eddie Jemison) is brought over but he immediately gets nauseous upon seeing Norman’s gunshot wound. Athena tells him to go help Julian who only has minor injuries. Athena asks her husband what he needs. Bobby tells her he needs his team. 

“Why is that drunks always come out of these things without a scratch?” – Hen Wilson

The 118 are called to the scene of an accident involving a young girl and her mother. Lexi (played by Jadah Marie) and her mother are trapped in a car after being struck by another vehicle. While Eddie accesses the mother’s injuries, Chimney goes to talk to the other driver involved in the collision. The driver (played by Ricky Martinez) refuses to be checked out and gets rough with Chimney. Hen comes over and asks the driver if he is refusing care. The driver says, he does not consent to being checked out. Hen asks Officer Williams (played by Chris Wu) to detain the driver. Chimney tells Hen that they should still evaluate the guy but Hen says ‘no’.

Lexi and her mother are safely extracted from the vehicle and loaded into an ambulance. Officer Williams calls out to Hen; the other driver has stopped breathing. Chimney checks his pulse but there isn’t one, so he immediately starts with compressions. Officer Williams says one moment the guy was fine and then he started speaking gibberish. Then he collapsed. Hen switches places with Hen and asks Buck and Eddie to call for another ambulance and also call the hospital to have a neurologist standing by.

“Better than finding out your wife of 36 years, the mother of your only child is an international smuggler … and a strumpet?” – Norman Peterson

We head back over to the cruise ship where Athena and Bobby have transformed into their first responder alter egos. Bobby tends to Norman. The latter is still coming to terms with his wife of 36 years and the mother of their only child is an international smuggler. He tells Bobby that he and Lola got rid of their home and sold all their possessions at a yard sale. They only made $2800. $2800 for 36 of memories. Norman asks Bobby how long he and Athena have been married. Bobby tells him they’ve been married for four years and that it’s the second marriage for the both of them. Norman asks Bobby if he’s happy and Bobby, without hesitation, says ‘yes’. Meanwhile, Lola asks Athena if she can be by Norman’s side, but Athena asks her if she really thinks Norman wants to see her right now. Athena goes to Bobby and asks him how Norman is doing. Bobby tells her Norman is stable but needs a surgeon. Bobby suggests contacting the Coast Guard so that Norman can be airlifted to safety. Athena and Bobby go to find Captain Ochoa but as leave, Athena notices Julian is gone.

“His name was Kyle Ortiz. His mother is Olivia Ortiz.” – Chief Simpson

Back in Los Angeles, Hen is dropped off at the 118 where Chimney and the others are waiting. She tells Chimney that the belligerent driver was pronounced dead at the hospital. Hen is shocked to discover the LAFD Professional Services Division is at the station taking statements. Chief Simpson (played by Richard Brooks) asks to speak with Hen. He tells her that the guy who died is Kyle Ortiz – the son of Councilwoman Olivia Ortiz. Hen insists that Kyle was showing signs of impairment, but Chief Simpson reminds her they won’t know for sure until his toxicology report comes back. Hen reminds the chief that Kyle refused care and that she followed protocol. Chief Simpson tells Hen she is removed from active duty until they get the toxicology report back. He tells her to go home. 

“She went after the snake.” – Lola Peterson

Bobby goes to Captain Ochoa to ask her about contacting the Coast Guard. Captain Ochoa tells him that the pirates sabotaged all of the com systems and the transponder. She lets him know she is headed below deck to check on the engines. She tells Bobby that Mr. Peterson is still his patient and to let her know if his condition changes.

Bobby goes back to the casino to check on Norman. He asks Dr. Gibson about his condition. Dr. Gibson tells him that Norman is in and out of consciousness and his vitals are weak. Security Officer Wes (played by Denzel Johnson) brings Lola over to Norman. Bobby asks the officer where Athena is. Meanwhile, Athena locates Julian and knocks him out with a fire extinguisher. She asks him what his plan is. Julian tells her he was planning on staging his death. Athena uses some zip-ties to cuff him.

Captain Ochoa finds Chief Communication Engineer Scott Westin (played by Nate Riley) trying to get everything back online. They think he’s successful until Scott finds a long yellow cord attached to a hatch. He opens the hatch which detonates a bomb. The blast takes out the lower half the ship causing it to capsize.  

“Well, they can’t fire you for one bad call.” – Evan “Buck” Buckley

Hen tells the others about her suspension. Eddie asks what happens if the toxicology report comes back showing Kyle Ortiz wasn’t under the influence. Hen tells him she doesn’t know but Councilwoman Ortiz is looking for someone to blame for her son dying. Buck says they can’t fire her for one bad call. Hen asks him if anyone has said it was bad call. Buck, of course, starts babbling and back-pedaling. Hen asks him if he thinks she made a bad call. He tells her know and says he and Eddie really didn’t see anything since they were tending to the young woman and her mother in the other car. Eddie says that he and the others all thought the guy was drunk, too. Hen says that he was and that she can smell it. She says Chimney could smell Kyle as well. Chimney says he didn’t smell anything. Hen finds this surprising considering he was the one closest to Kyle. Chimney asks her if she wanted him to lie. Hen is extremely offended by him asking this. He tells her that if the roles were reversed he and the others would’ve made the same call. Hen says, if the roles were reversed, she would have their backs and that she wouldn’t have to lie to do it.

“You just got a little more redder than white collar.” – Athena Grant

Back on the ship, the lights are flickering, sirens are going off, and the lower deck is taking on water. Athena and Julian try to find a way back to the others. Bobby checks Norman to access for further damage. A general muster call goes out over the ship’s intercom system asking for all passengers to go to their pre-designated muster stations. A passenger named Jarod (played by Christopher Livingston) asks if they need to abandon ship. The ship’s doctor says not necessarily; it’s just a general muster. Jarod says he is not getting in a lifeboat without all of his casino winnings. He threatens to sue the cruise line. Lola asks what they should do. Bobby says they will need to wait on an order to abandon ship. He tells Lola to stay with her husband and when she asks where he’s going, he tells her he’s going to find his wife.

Down in the lower deck, Athena and Julian find Scott Westin dead and Captain Ochoa trapped under some debris. Athena cuts Julian’s ties so he can help her lift the debris off the captain. The captain’s arm is broken, and she has some broken ribs. Captain Ochoa radios to First Mate Kenneth (played by Anthony Carvello) and tells him that the pirates have hobbled the ship. She tells him the ship is taking on water. Kenneth tells her that a general muster has been called. Captain Ochoa gives him the order to abandon ship. He warns her about the storm, but she tells him things are only going to get worst. In order to deploy the lifeboats, someone will need to activate the bilge pump. Athena volunteers to complete the task under the condition that Julian gets the captain back to the top part of the ship. 

“They did not betray you. They were just trying to make you feel better about the situation.” – Karen Wilson

Over at the Wilsons’ residence, Hen is venting to Karen about her suspicion and Chimney, Buck, and Eddie’s betrayal. Always the level-headed one, Karen assures her the guys were only trying to comfort her. Hen says that they were only trying to comfort her because they believe she made a bad call. Hen admits she screwed up. She tells Karen that when she looked at Kyle Ortiz, all she saw was an entitled brat. Karen reminds her that she didn’t kill Kyle. Hen tells her she didn’t save him either. Karen implores her to let this matter go. Hen gets up and goes to call Athena. She gets the voicemail which prompts her to call Bobby. She gets Bobby’s voicemail as well. Hen starts to get concerned but Karen reminds her there is a tropical storm off the coast of Baja which has been upgraded to a hurricane and is currently heading back out to sea. This does not quell Hen’s concern; however, Karen tells her everything will be fine because ships like the one Bobby and Athena are on are built to sustain anything, even a hurricane. 

“Of course she is.” – Bobby Nash

Bobby runs into Security Officer Wes who is busy helping passengers get onto lifeboats. He tells Bobby that once he’s finished, he will help him get Norman ready for transport. Bobby asks him if he’s seen Athena and Wes says he thought she was still in the casino. They try to find her via her passenger medallion, but they are unable to locate her. Bobby asks Wes where the explosion happened, and Wes tells him the engineering room on portside. Just as Bobby is about to leave, Captain Ochoa and Julian make it back. The captain tells Bobby that Athena saved her. When he asks her where Athena is, Julian says that she is saving the ship. 

“Did you lose a boat?” – Maddie Buckley

Hen goes to see Maddie at the dispatch center, and it occurred to me that we rarely get scenes between these two characters. Hen asks Maddie to contact the Coast Guard. Maddie jokingly asks her if she lost a boat and Hen tells her that she cannot locate Bobby and Athena’s cruise ship. She shows Maddie a map with every ship that’s currently on the water off the coast of California. Bobby and Athena’s ship is not showing up on the map. Hen tells Maddie she has tried to call Athena and Bobby, but her calls are going straight to voicemail. Maddie says she will make a call.

Athena makes it to the room where the bilge pump is located. She tries to open the hatch but isn’t strong enough. Bobby makes it to her and helps her open the door. The two of them go inside but the door slams shut behind him. Now the two of them are trapped inside and the room is rapidly filling with water. 

“Sometimes when people do the kinds of jobs you do, they understand the urgency of now. Of not waiting.” – Frank, the therapist

We flashback to two weeks before the cruise. We see Bobby in a session with everyone’s favorite therapist, Frank (played by Eddie McGee). Bobby is feeling the weight of their upcoming cruise and wonders if he and Athena had their honeymoon after they were married that maybe things wouldn’t seem so consequential. He admits that when he asked Athena to marry him, she was in a vulnerable place. They both were. Bobby was widowed and Athena was newly divorced. He and Athena had only been together a few months before he proposed to her. Bobby tells Frank that he didn’t give Athena a chance to say ‘no’. Frank tells Bobby that he’s afraid that if they go on the cruise, it’ll give Athena the chance to tell him ‘no’. His advice to Bobby is to go on the cruise and enjoy spending time with his wife. 

“I don’t deserve you, Athena. I never did.” – Bobby Nash

Back on the ship, Bobby is trying to get the door open. He starts to call for help, but Athena tells him that no one is going to hear them because everyone is getting onto lifeboats. The reality of their situation starts to settle in, and Bobby apologizes to Athena. He tells her she wouldn’t even be here, trapped, if it weren’t for him dragging her on the cruise. He tells her he doesn’t deserve her but for some reason she said yes. Athena tells him she would say ‘yes’ again. He tells her that he couldn’t even save his first family and he can’t save her either. Athena tells him he’s already saved her. She reminds him that he’s not the only one getting a second chance. She tells him that she’s there with him because she wants to be. She admits that she was afraid that she wouldn’t know how to be with him without all the noise. She was worried that when they were alone, they wouldn’t have anything to talk about. But now, with time running out for the both of them, she has lots to say. Athena says I love you, Husband and Bobby says I love you, my wife. They kiss as the water wises. Bobby tells Athena to grab the pole over their heads while he goes under water to hold her up. Athena screams for him. Just as the water rises up to their necks, the door opens. Turns out Julian isn’t all that bad of a guy.

“Captain Wilson, our job is to protect the people of Los Angeles.” – Chief Simpson

Back at the dispatch center, Hen runs into Chief Simpson. He tells her that she can go back to work. He tells her that Kyle Ortiz’s toxicology report came back showing he was twice over the legal limit and had meth in his system. He says that Hen acted professionally. The 118 will be turned back over to her. Hen tells Chief Simpson she is looking for Captain Nash and his wife. She tells him that their cruise ship is missing. He asks if there was an SOS from the ship. She says ‘no’ but they need to utilize all resources to find them. Chief Simpson reminds her that they are not the Coast Guard and that the LAFD has no jurisdiction over the waters off of Mexico. He tells her to report back to the 118 as captain. After he leaves, Hen asks Maddie for the number for 9-1-1 in Mexico.

Julian leads Bobby and Athena back to the top deck, He tells them that almost everyone has been placed onto a lifeboat. Only a handful of them are still on the ship.

“That can’t be a coincidence.” – Hen Wilson

Maddie reaches out to 9-1-1 in Mexico. She learns that around ten that morning, more than two dozen 9-1-1 calls came into coastal emergency call centers in central Mexico. All of the calls dropped. Hen says that’s around the same time Bobby and Athena’s ship went off the radar. Hen gets up to leave right as Maddie gets a call from Chimney. Hen asks her not to answer it until she’s out of the building because she doesn’t feel like being second-guessed right now.

“He wouldn’t leave without you.” – Julian Enes

Julian, Bobby, and Athena make it back to the top deck where Captain Ochoa, Norman, Lola, Security Officer Wes, Dr. Gibson, and Jarod are waiting. Bobby is shocked that Norman hasn’t been evacuated but he is told that Norman wouldn’t leave without him and Athena. Captain Ochoa reports that First Mate Kenneth is trying to send a distress call via SOS. We then see Kenneth using a light to send out a message. He goes outside the cabin and sees a huge wave approaching them. He sets off an alarm. Back on the top deck, Bobby yells for everyone to brace themselves for the oncoming wave. When the wave hits, we see the ship flip upside down and just like the movie Poseidon Adventure, we see everyone slide across the floor. Athena holds onto a table. Jarod falls onto the glass ceiling but thankfully it doesn’t shatter. Oh, shit!!!!

Oh man! Oh man! Oh man! Let me just say, I have never been this riveted by an episode of 9-1-1 and that’s saying a lot considering I have seen episodes where the 118 face off against 7.8 earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, city-wide blackouts, and Maddie’s husband. We still have one more episode to go before we see this story play out, but something tells me this season opener is going to go down as one of the best of the series. I loved both stories equally this episode. I sympathized with Hen as she second-guessed her actions during the emergency call. I also felt bad for Chimney, Buck, and Eddie who didn’t mean any harm but who could’ve chosen their words more carefully. I’m happy that Hen was vindicated in her actions as captain of the 118 but I do think she’s learned a valuable lesson about leadership and not judging so harshly. Kudos to Karen for being a supportive partner who was able to comfort Hen without simultaneously feeding into her frustrations. I do worry that Hen’s job will be put into jeopardy in the next episode when she ultimately defies orders from Chief Simpson and goes to look for Bobby and Athena. I actually worry about everyone else, too, because if I know my boys, I think Chimney, Buck, and Eddie are going to help her out. 

As for the drama playing out on the ship, I really felt bad for Norman Peterson. When we met him several seasons ago, he was a husband who simply wasn’t paying attention to his wife’s needs. When this was brought to his attention, it seemed he did everything to make his marriage better. I hate that Lola cheated on him and which ultimately put his life in danger. I do wonder if their relationship will survive this catastrophe. I wonder if they will survive, period. Speaking of survival, last episode I was really worried about the state of Bobby and Athena’s marriage; however, after this episode, I feel confident these two are in it for the long haul. Yes, they thrive when it comes to chaos, but I think they will now be able to appreciate each other in those moments of calm. I will say, even though I knew coming into this episode that Bobby and Athena were going to survive, it didn’t stop me from tearing up during the scene where they told each other they loved each other right as the water was rising. This will go down as one of my favorite scenes of the show. 

Next week is the conclusion to the cruise ship story and I’m counting the minutes until we get to see what happens next. 9-1-1 airs on Thursdays but I won’t get to see the episode until Friday. I’m extra excited about this Friday because it’s the same day that Cowboy Carter drops. So, hopefully I not only get an amazing Beyoncé album, I also get an amazing episode of 9-1-1. Until next time ..

if mercedes had balls they wouldn't allow colon dusk in their garage

[gunnerina]

I take back saying this was partially Lewis’s fault for not leaving space going into that turn and partially George’s fault for not backing out. I truly wanted to give George the benefit of the doubt and be fair in my judgment, but this new information as really changed my conclusion.

The crash was fully George’s fault for refusing to follow team orders and not backing out when it the plan ahead of time was obviously to have Lewis go through into turn 1.

The way Merc is making Lewis the scapegoat, when they are fully aware of his treatment by racists and the media (also racist), is vile. Allowing the black man to take the fall while infantilizing the white man is insidious and a continuation of a history of vilifying black men while allowing white men to go scot free for their actions. And then filming Lewis apologizing to George and posting it for the world to see? It’s malicious.

People always want to talk about anti-racism but don’t want to walk the walk when it comes down to it. How convenient that they have Lewis to take this blame and George to publicly condemn Lewis on the radio and almost silently admit that he was the one who refused to listen to orders. George is being very particular with his words of “it was a very difficult situation.” He is trying to deflect, he is trying to downplay his actions, and unfortunately in this sport it’s going to work because people are always ready to vilify the one black man in this sport.

Don’t come on my page and try to tell me to “stop making everything about race” cause colonizers made everything about race centuries ago the moment they decided to subjugate other cultures and people with different skin tones from them. Americas racism may be open for everyone to see but European racism is insidious, a creeping evil that everyone in Mercedes is complicit in.

[blundergato]

watched a video someone made about who they through in the fire emblem 3h cast they could beat or lose against in chess-boxing and it made me think about what my chances would be.

now, the best thing about my chess ability is that "i can play it." however, i have been studying martial arts since i was a kid and have done full contact, so i at least i know i stand a fighting chance against these medieval jabronis in fisticuffs. with that in mind...

characters who destroy me in round 1 chess so we don't even get to the boxing portion:

lysithea - probably the biggest nerd in the game.

claude - he beats me at chess before we even sit down to play.

seteth - this seems like the kind of dude that really knows chess and hes been around long enough to be really good. though it doesn't matter too much because even though I THINK i could box him up if we made it that far, if he unleashes dad rage, then its over for me.

yuri - he could easily beat me at chess fair and square but he's a lil freak that runs an underground rodent kingdom, so he cheats and beats me unfairly.

i think that's about it for characters who insta-beat me in chess;

characters who beat me in boxing only:

raphael - he outweighs me by like 100+ pounds and his arms are bigger than my legs. luckily, he's the one character dumb enough that i could probably beat him in chess round 1 before i got my head punched off.

balthus - literally the same thing as raphael.

catherine - also pretty dumb, but smarter than raphael and probably survives the chess round. shes going to stomp my shit in during the boxing.

dimitri - also kind of a doofus, but will definitely hold his own long enough until we get to boxing where i get punched so hard, i go flying out of the ring and probably straight to the morgue.

--

characters i curbstomp in chess: n/a (raphael if im lucky)

--

characters i can stall long enough in chess to mollywhop in boxing:

lorenz, flayn, sylvain, bignatz, ashe, dorothea, annette, bernadetta, mercedes, marianne, cyril, sylvain - the least threatening characters in the game. i think i could fight them all at the same time and win.

ingrid, hubert, hilda - im not losing to the racists.

linhardt - okay, hes definitely smart enough to defeat me in chess super fast, but this dude is the laziest man on planet earth, aint no way he's speedrunning me in chess. he'll prolly fall asleep.

constance - yea, she would probably kill me in chess, but shes so incredibly arrogant (affectionate) that i think i could boost her ego long enough to get to the boxing round.

--

characters who kick the shit out of me in both chess and boxing:

rhea - dude, shes in the opening cutscene both leading an army and LITERALLY throwing hands.

dedue - hes definitely smarter than me and he also outweighs me by at LEAST 50 pounds. just looked up his height and he has over half a foot on me, so i have no shot.

--

toss up

edelgard - she would eventually beat me at chess and she wears 500 pound armor and wields a big axe, so shes got to be strong as shit and can fight, but shes little and a colonizer so i get a rage stat boost

felix - hes probably terrible at chess, but so am i. hes definitely at least a decent fighter, but very impatient and im a counter fighter anyways, so i think i could eventually beat him on points.

caspar - i dont think this is that much of a toss up. i think i beat him both and chess and boxing, but not like a curbstop either way. late tko.

leonie - this ends in a draw. we're both pretty dumb and i think we're evenly matched in a fight.

shamir - honestly, she probably poisons my water and i lose.

--

petra tier (characters i wont fight)

petra - i aint fighting petra. if you created an evil clone of me that had my exact stats but was just evil and then you killed the real me so i couldnt kill the evil clone before it challenged petra, it would STILL lose to her in both chess and boxing.

hapi - like cmon dude.

jeritza - his alter ego is the DEATH knight. im not fighting him, sorry.

▸   @toksikk   ⟶   ❛  For the song meme- 36. Mercedes to Michael!  ❜   ╱   (  wrapped , accepting .  )

   “I don’t really get why everybody’s all excited about the possibility of colonizing Mars.”  Michael has his eyes fixed on the night sky, cigarette wasting away between his fingers.  “It’s not like moving away from Earth will be some miracle cure, and all our problems will be solved, and we’ll sing Kumba-fucking-ya forever.”

   It surprises most people that Mercedes, of all people, takes a lot of Michael’s grim views about the world herself, but he is glad that she does.  He likes being able to speak what’s really on his mind without getting called a doomer faggot or whichever other insult is currently trending among the conformists.  According to the news, life on Mars isn’t as far away as he thought it was, but he’s not exactly stoked about being proven wrong.

   “We spend some time floating out in space, find another planet, make the same mistakes.”  He takes a drag while he watches plane lights blink overhead, wondering how many paranoid little conspiracy theorists out there think that’s a UFO.  “Well, the air’s on fire, so we’re moving on.  Better find another one ‘cause this one’s done.”  He rolls his eyes.  “Like they won’t just fuck Mars up even harder and faster than they did here.”
