...democracy or death, eh?

Those who begin their reign in blood will end it in blood.

So, wait.

Th' frogs... they bombed their own kin? Over... what, a politician?

That's low. That's cowardly low. I mean, it ain't like I ain't seen shit like dis 'fore, but... hell, I ain't no fan of th' frogs, an' even this pisses me off. Ain't provin' yer point if'n you ain't willin' t'face th' heat yerself. Cowardly low.

Oh yeah, definitely the krogan. You have it all figured out, don't you?

No. No way. My brother didn't die for... for whatever this is. No. No. This is ridiculous. NO. I can't believe this. I refuse to believe this. NO. Krogan, humans, batarians, even cerberus - but our own people?

No. NO.

So I was wrong about the rock lizards doing it. Its not as I knew all along it was Frog!Cerberus.

in before krogan start spouting Entish All The Frogs

...did crazy nano-bomber guy have bladed shoulder pads on armor?

Looks like the private intel biz suddenly got a lot more interesting.

A new city blow up every week?

heh heh heh heh

Nah, the Bahak all batarians thing only made sense cause of alliteration.

And it was stupid and deserved only mockery and image memes even then.

Entish all the toads, then?

I'm just saying, people will be posting that. The Union's not exactly popular right now.

Note: Neither FEMES nor I endorse 'Entish all the toads' as any kind of political or personal viewpoint. I employ several salarians, and I've been taking good care not to do anything to piss them off right now, because they certainly don't need it.

Things like this are a staple of our society. It doesn't make it better, but you should at least understand the situation better, no?

Personally I'm more worried about the lunatics running around with Tier II WMDs are political idealists.

Those are worst. You can't reason with 'em, you can't even bribe 'em, all you can do shoot 'em the face until they stop moving.

I know. Unless the STG locks down on this shit fast, the final bodycount's gonna be massive.

Organizing what we can spare for Sur'Kesh in terms of medical supplies, but fuck me, these guys aren't fucking around.

So who do you think is gonna win? Normal frogs or Terrorist frogs?

My credits are on the terrorist frogs heh heh

I wonder if ennybody's hirin'... been a while since I was in a war. I mean, yeah, there were the Reapers, but they was easy t'hit.

AW COME ON

firs' major attack on da lizards an' dey do it ter demselves?

VARRENSHIT

DO OVER

DO OVERRRRRRR

Who cares you whiner. Frogs killing frogs is hilarious

This. God this.

The issue with a true zealot is that you can't talk them down, you couldn't negotiate even if you wanted to because they would cheerfully burn themselves alive if it meant achieving their objective.

As we've already seen they have little to no compunction deploying fucking WMD's against soft civilian targets. This bodes...

well I would say "ill" but that would be a touch of an understatement no?

No fucking kidding, Nik. Undernet's going insane. A few prominent salarian hackers bit it in the attack. There's a fucking virtual wake. I knew some of these guys.

Call me sentimental, crazy, stupid, fucktarded, whatever - I'm kinda pissed. Scared as fuck about this and what it could mean in the long run, but kinda pissed.
