Summary
-Am I really terrible to perceive?-
SecUnit is drifting at minimum functionality while it recharges, so perhaps it’s unkind of me to ask abstract questions: even at the best of times, it complains that its language-modules are “cheap garbage”. Still, in this state, it is drowsy and pliant. Almost (almost) affable.

“When you dropped your walls and threatened me.”
-Hardly a threat. My crew consider me delightful. You would have been delighted, too, if you had good taste.-
