In Alhambra base, you can see a man in military uniform standing in front of some sort of coffee machine.

"They installed an automatic coffee dispenser..."

He turns toward you and cries out dramatically.

"I'm in despair! The way human easily substituted the art of coffee making for automated, mechanized coffee-making device has left me in despair!"

I'm not a fan of it myself, but don't you think it'd be unfair to everyone to not have one of these here?

[dolorous_sensei]

It's the principle of it. By putting this machine here, are they saying that we grunts are not worthy of real handmade coffee and must be satisfied with this?

[empress_without_a_throne]

... You're joking. You can't honestly...

If you wanted some you could just make it yourself!

[dolorous_sensei]

And besides, it's a slippery slope. What's next? Are they going to replace us pilots with automatic devices too?

[empress_without_a_throne]

That would be rather abrupt of them. "Oh hey, welcome to the Unity Grou- Oh wait, nevermind! We're just using killbots instead!"

So I'm going to wager "no", that's not going to happen anytime soon.

You're right. It would be a waste of resources, because currently us grunts are cheaper, and if there's one thing that we can be sure is, the higher ups sure hate wasting resources. Thanks miss, you're making me feel better about it now.
