Freddie experienced the sort of abysmal soul-sadness which afflicts one of Tolstoy’s Russian peasants when, after putting in a heavy day’s work strangling his father, beating his wife, and dropping the baby in the reservoir, he turns to the cupboard, only to find the vodka bottle empty.

All right, I’m taking a couple weeks off for the holidays.  Genocide Man will return on Monday, January 4th, when we’re going to check in with the American military!  That’s going to be fun, I promise you.  🙂  Happy holidays, everyone — I’ll see you next year!

↓ Transcript
Msaka: Kentaro's drones have bottled up the British army, as well as Germany and France.
Jacob: But when I kill Kentaro you'll be defenseless.
Msaka: Why would you do that?
Jacob: Because he's an A.I. capable of bottling up Britain, Germany, and France. And you better hope he didn't forget about America.
Msaka: Hmn. General, prepare the troops for a quick march to London...and keep an eye on that nets for news of the American military.

    I wish you relaxing holidays, merry christmas and a good start into the new year!
    To everyone else here too, of course! 🙂

    Enjoy your holidays, see you next year.

    Enjoy your break. “See you” next year.

  4. Jordan says:

    Happy holidays!

    Yeah… I really can’t blame Jacob for deciding to kill Kentaro. 1) He’s an AI, and thus is guaranteed to go insane. 2) He’s got access to enough drones to go toe-to-toe with three major powers and 3) He’s likely to gain access to the plethora of WMDs that the Genocide Project probably has lying around.

    Obviously I can’t read your mind but based on context I think maybe you mean “forced march”. Quick march is a parade command. Of course maybe you meant simply a “fast” march, whether in duration or cadence or both, but it sounds weird to military ears, I think.

  7. Pat Scaramuzza says:

    I meant ‘fast’, yes. Might get away with it because Msaka isn’t really military, but maybe I’ll take your recommendation. Thanks, Bob!
