My priorities may be a bit off . . .

. . . but whilst my heart does go out to my fallen comrades in the Medlab, I do have a rather pressing question: What is a Deathstrike and why am I meant to be concerned? I mean, yes, certainly the monicker "Deathstrike" does not imply a sunbathed field of daisies through which fluffy kittens cavort, but there are levels.

(And no, I did not mispost; I simply do not care to ask on the team comm and be ridiculed for not reading over the entireity of seven years' of mission reports whilst a trainee.)

I too am somewhat underwhelmed by the alias, but phrases like "inexplicably back from the dead" and "half the team currently in hospital" do bear further inquiry. (Though perhaps not so much the former, as that seems somewhat par for the course for these environs.)

Isn't half the team in the medlab half the time they are coming back from stuff? I know without Nathan there's a lot less "people with concussions" going on, but Clarice gets irradiated and people come back half dead all the time. (And then die and come back apparently) What about this is unusual other than "villain with cheesy name"?

Yes, injuries are par for the course. I was reacting more to the tenor of the mission report (which I know you would not have seen), which indicates it was a bit of a blindside.

I think we may need to petition to formally change Deceased to "Deceased" in villain dossiers. The lack of quotes reads as rather optimistic.

Yeah, all I know is that Angel hurts and apparently people are busted up. Though if they're all badly busted up maybe the Deathstrike name isn't covering for him/her/them/it being a pansy. Maybe. Or tiny zombie mutant chickens pecked them to death.

Aren't the good guys supposed to be optimistic?

I don't know. On the one hand, the team's a bit the worse for wear. On the other there are no fatalities, so there is the faint reek of false advertising. (As I recall, the zombie chickens were a different mission.)

And yes, I suppose they are, but at this point I feel there is a fine line between optimism and gullibility.

Well, Yvette did get -her- ass kicked, so I'm pretty sure it was bad, whatever it was. I mean, dude.
