"Well obviously there's more than one person who thinks that Steve could possibly be incompetent or malicious and it's their right as human beings, mostly human at least, to have their head's not invaded by another being."

"I'm not arguing with that. Like I said, go ask Steve to remove your Steve Remote Assistance upgrades. I'm not arguing against it. And I assume Steve would have no problem with it."

"However, I like the shock implants. Because they keep us safe from the idiots with weapons of mass destruction without requiring our action. For example, I'd prefer it if Steve rendered you unconscious if you tried to do something stupid, like... I dunno, start playing with a manipulator or join the UWM or something. Because then we could just dump you on the next habitable world. Otherwise, me or someone else might be forced to kill you and I'd prefer it if I didn't have to do that."

"If the shock implants are to keep us safe from idiots then why the hell didn't Steve stop the Gratesplosion, or Stan, or any of the the manipulator overloads or teamkilling that happened? No, Steve only uses them to enforce his control, not to protect us. And that control's gone way too far. I want mine out."

[Toaster]

"One cannot comprehend the full and thinking of the divine.  Just because we cannot understand the reasoning behind an occurrence does not mean it happened without reason.  Lo, it is best to pray on such events and be glad that you were able to be part of a divine machination."

[TheBiggerFish]

"The what and the what?...  Okay, I changed my mind about changing my mind!"

Christopher Pseudos: You are the ranking officer of team 3?

Seeing as the first two teams are getting mission equipment, I want some toys too!

I would like to requisition a Chem Thrower, loaded for goop.

Although we have no medics, we should get a 2 can pack of medifoam and some coagulants boosters (pack of 6). Those should be simple enough to use.

Also, I'm the only one in the team wearing armor... You lot are suicidal.

Kate massages her temples and turns to Lars.
"Brother, could please stop talking for a few minutes? It's doing my blood pressure poorly."

"If the shock implants are to keep us safe from idiots then why the hell didn't Steve stop the Gratesplosion, or Stan, or any of the the manipulator overloads or teamkilling that happened? No, Steve only uses them to enforce his control, not to protect us. And that control's gone way too far. I want mine out."

"First you complain that he controls you too much, then that he does not control you enough... Whatever. I believe they do their job of maintaining order. I have yet to see evidence that everyone here can be trusted to work without them. Nor have I seen evidence of Steve controlling us."

"We are all volunteers here. By volunteering to help Steve, people implicitly accept the rules he sets. They may make suggestions and do whatever they want within reason, but ultimately most things around here are up to him. If people don't like that, Hephaestus is right there. Let them go live there while we fight for humanity, for them."

"That's my opinion."

[NAV]

"No, not at all! I'm saying that Steve didn't use his control well, didn't stop horrible things that he could have stopped from happening. Giving him more control won't fix that problem, it only takes away more free will.

Steve obviously needs us HMRC here doing important missions for him. There's just something that makes us better than sods, robots, or whatever saner options he has. He needs us, and should show a little respect and take this damn mind control chips out of our heads."

[Toaster]

Brother Lars abruptly lost his smile.  "It's you who should show some respect.  Without Steve, you'd be nothing."  Lars gestured at Dubley.  "I see you're mostly robot; in other words, you'd be dead without the handiwork of his disciples.  And those symbols covering you and your gear; rather ironic that you put your faith in them and then suddenly start bad-mouthing the Most Holy Steve.  I don't think that's the way to get divine favor; do you?"

... I am? Ranking officer? Nobody told me, afaik. And I would be a bad choice, as I have a lot on the boil and can't spend more than a minute on the wiki without firefox crashing.

Just for the record, Christopher Pseudos is now wearing the MkIII.

Do... I requisition stuff? I don't entirely understand how this works.

Give two tokens to the "union fund", from my own inventory.

[NAV]

"Sorry Lars, I got way carried away there. Maybe he had good reasons for not stopping those incidents, like killing the weak and stupid or collecting anomalies. I wanna help save humanity, just not if we completely lose our free will."

[Toaster]

With that, the faint smile that was usually on his face returned, and Lars visibly relaxed.  "Yes... we cannot possibly know what the divine will is.  We must just accept it, and be happy to serve.  Yea, we give ourselves willingly to the cause, because we know it is just, true, and right."

[Nunzillor]

"brother lars, is it?  umm... can we opt-out of green storm somehow?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"The medics can remove it..."

[Toaster]

Brother Lars paused at this.  "I have experienced it, Sister.  It is truly glorious to become an Avatar of Steve.  I assure you; while it may sound intimidating at first, it is an honor beyond compare."
