ResearchDirector: I don't care. Go out among the robots.
ResearchDirector: There's enough schemes afoot to stop you, between HeadOfSecurity and ChiefEngineer and Captain, and that is why I want you gone.
WhiteDwarf: That is not an option we can follow.
WhiteDwarf: Your negotiation from such an uncompromising position is foolish.
ResearchDirector: Find a solution or go into the waiting arms of the security department, but either way, I want your disruptions gone, and I will be well justified in violence to achieve that.

Your friend RedGiant succumbs to his nervous tic, and tries to convey his usual policy of nonviolence.

RedGiant: I'd be worried for you. That's not a good decision.
RedGiant: I hear a lot of people lately saying that the shuttle ought to be called instead.

ResearchDirector: And right now, one presents itself quite clearly.

Neutron : Inventory check.
