It will be nice to have more competence than the robots. They're advanced for what they are, but this is more delicate work.
[Said semi-thoughtfully. Billy's isn't the sort of demeanor you'd associate with delicate work, but it seems our resident highfalutin bird has decided to go for it.]
I'm a man of my word, but you'll see that too, in due time.
Now, I have some spare time -- why don't you tell me more about your home circumstances?
[Apparently they don’t just have that information on hand, unlike other stuff. Or they want to hear it from his mouth.]
The Supes where I’m from are fucking monsters. Get up to the worst shite behind closed doors, squash people in the blink of an eye—any moment now one’s gonna go off the bend and start a massacre no matter what fuckin’ diplomacy the twats in Supe Affairs come up with.
Biggest right cunt of ‘em all happens to be the hardest to take down—-bombin’ the prick didn’t work, so gotta go bigger.
When you say "Supes", I assume you mean superhumans. This must be a pretty interesting vacation for you.
[It's a musing tone, rather than a sympathetic one, but perhaps that's to be expected. The attention of somebody turning over something and examining it from all angles, but attentive all the same.]
The easiest way to gain an iron grip on society is to have the power to back up your vision; the easiest way to have people get used to their oppressors is to have a good PR team. But the state of affairs where you come from sounds pretty artificial to me.
Still, there's a way to take down anyone and anything. What else have you tried? How big was the bomb?
[He's trying to see a bit of entertainment value in it, given he's still pretty sure that all superpowered people inherently need to be gotten rid of. The list of the ones that haven't been raging assholes is very, very low.]
What you're going on about is how it all works back then--they make bloody blockbusters outta them. You ever have to see the monster that took everything from you on every fuckin' billboard you turn a corner on?
...bomb was big enough to total the entire house. Also dropped several tons of concrete on the bastard and all it did was slow him down. Been able to rule out stabbin' or shootin' him working through reconnaissance, too.
