PREVIEW

Excuse me. Sir? Hi. I just wanted to ask a question. 

I’ve been here for a while now and I just want you to clear something up for me. Is that cool? I get that this new shooting technique is revolutionary… but I think it’s a bit stupid. I mean what is the point of this whole “Shoot to Scare” system?

Wouldn’t it be more effective if we aimed our weapons AT the enemy? I mean, I get that by firing our weapons around them, we can scare them and make them act foolishly- but we have some serious firepower on our side. And we’ve got some pretty advanced computers- I’m just saying, why don’t we shoot AT them instead? Doesn’t it make more sense to shoot to kill rather than try to rebound our laser blasts around them in such a haphazard way? I mean just the other day poor Larry shot his rifle and it bounced back and hit him square in the chest.
