All quiet on the western bun

[After the rampantly successful mission to Mars, Misa-who, it should be noted, attempted suicide via ridiculous explosion-can be found on the observation deck of the Macross, staring back at the Red Planet.]

So. Dinosaurs.


Ugh, don't remind me...how did they get even get wildlife on mars? It's -60 C out there...


I thought they were kinda cute!

[Izuru promised to talk to Misa. So he's here!]

Umm. Miss Hayase, I mean, XO?

Are you... okay?

[Yeah this already starts swimmingly.]

...Yes, I'm fine.

[Said in one of those 'I'm-totally-not-fine' tones.]

[herodrawing]

I didn't know you had this kind of past. Sorry if I'm intruding into something which really isn't my business.

[ships_full_of_missiles]

...No, I suppose it isn't.

[herodrawing]

[Aaah, Izuru is not good at things like this.]

Would you... like to talk about it?

[ships_full_of_missiles]

What do you think?

[herodrawing]

It'd... help to have someone who can listen to what you have to say? Help it get off your chest... maybe?

You fought dinosaurs? On Mars?

[ships_full_of_missiles]

With all the changes to their biology that would have to be made, I'm sure they're more robot than dinosaur...


They had clubs and everything. It was awesome.

...The funny thing is, that's not even the first time we've fought dinosaurs this year.

[cloningblues]

Well, we didn't fight the rest of them on a planet that doesn't even have air, or wildlife. And clubs? I thought dinosaurs would fight by biting things.

[ships_full_of_missiles]

Wouldn't they break their teeth on the robot's armor, then?

[gold_four]

Not for lack of trying...

[Ataru muses on the state of Mars. Aside of that...]

Personally if I had to design those dinosaurs though, I'd use some kind of vibrational or heat weapon for the teeth. Perhaps both...

[cloningblues]

Teeth would be more efficient than a club wielded by a t-rex. It has really tiny arms.

[ships_full_of_missiles]

They're still stronger than your arms. And we model robots on humans, so...wait, why am I trying to justify that insanity!?

[cloningblues]

Well, it's not like we're ever going to see robot dinosaurs again, right? Except the Dinobots.

Hey, fancy meeting you guys again! I guess this is fate's arrow.

Or the devil's javelin...


Hey, don't be so harsh. I think he's pretty funny.


Yeah! Go fumbles!

[ben_dixon]

Really, you think so? Do you really think I'm funny?
