Oh man, we have new blood again? Welcome aboard!

I've been saving these stickers for the occasion.

[He sends a snapshot of the stickers in question:]



If you're not a newbie and you really want one, I barter in any of the following: snacks, shiny rocks, manga, monster movies, cool figurines, cigarettes, conversations about tattoos, spaghetti or any type of noodle, cute dimples, cheek kisses, compliments about my boots, neat pictures of any manner of phyla, a tall can of pringles, pens with blue or red ink, caffeine patches, 80's or 90's band shirts, things that hover that shouldn't, fancy scissors, dinosaur stickers, or coffee.

Just come on down to the lab and get your very special prize!

If I'm bumping into tables and jumping six feet in the air because you so much as sneezed in my direction, it's because I'm temporarily blind and literally can't see my own hand in front of my face.

Ciao!

If it's a sticker, why does it say "shirt"? Wouldn't it be better if it was just "this stupid sticker" and came in random shapes? Or better yet, offer an actual t-shirt! No one has any use for a sticker.

Come on, man. You're killing it here.

[He is not impressed. Why does he always have to deal with idiots wherever he goes? He is so over this shit.]

Hell no. You want me to set an explosive or rig a spring trap, I'm all yours. For a price.

But I absolutely do not do arts and crafts. That shit's for kids.

Can you predict the best placement to maximize the damage to enemy troops? Can you do it while being shot at from all sides and mortars blasting your teammates to bits? No? I didn't think so.

It's child's play for selling to dumb people and their dumb kids. And they have companies that already do that. Therefore: tapped.

It's one of many I can offer. You don't want to get stuck in it.

[Well, he's definitely been called worse that before. Except the Jaeger part.

Now that second comment actually gets on his nerves more than the first. His voice snaps out childish at first but grows more menacing as he continues.]


I'm not lame, you're lame! Stickers! For fuck's sake. Like some sort of child...

I don't know what a Jaeger is but I can pilot just about anything the UNSC has produced and most alien craft. That gives me the right to be a little cocky. Most people--even soldiers--can't say that. I doubt you can.

Joke's on you, asshole, my partner and I have been through worse and could easily pilot your dumb Jaeger...thing.

[Except it was right about at that point that he remembered that Locus had betrayed him. It sent his brain into a brief short circuit. And then a fit of rage hit.]

Fuck you! I've survived shit you couldn't comprehend! I am a survivor! And this will be a walk in the fucking park!

[YOU'RE NOT WRONG, TBH. Locus is the best partner...until he figures out you manipulated him the whole time and abused your partnership but let's not talk about it.]

I fucking doubt it. You're all fucking civvies here.

[Okay, not everyone but at this point Felix isn't paying attention to the words coming out of his mouth. He just doesn't care.]

Just don't ask me to save your ass when you inevitably get it into trouble, moron.

[You know the smart thing to do at this point would be to just hang up. But this is Felix. Felix is a petty little bitch. So Felix doesn't immediately "hang up" the conversation.

Instead, the feed switches to video and the image captures one obvious gesture: Felix's hand giving the middle finger.

Yeah, he's that kind of petty asshole. He finally disconnects and not only mutes the system for the longest amount of time it will allow for, but rips the ear piece off and throws it against the nearest wall.

Congratulations, Newt, you win the honor of being the first person to cause and endure Felix's (first) breakdown on the Ximilia. It's only been like a day...]
