PSEUDO-HERO
Lemme go out I can lead them in.
OBLIGATORY CONTROL FREAK
Negative. You will not leave the lander. I’m overriding
your launch controls. Did you close that valve?
PSEUDO-HERO
Just give ‘em two minutes, Mike.
OBLIGATORY CONTROL FREAK
You don’t have two minutes. You will die, the mission
will fail. I want that lander off the planet now.

I’ll go out. I can go out and get him.
PSEUDO-HERO
Yeah, Mike, let her go.
OBLIGATORY CONTROL FREAK
Negative. I’ll eat the loss of an EVA suit. I

You and Shaw ship out in two hours. Get

PSEUDO-HERO
That’s it?
OBLIGATORY CONTROL FREAK
That’s what.
PSEUDO-HERO
You’re just going to let him die?
