    Someone went to the Corbin Dallas School of Hostage Negotiation it seems.

    The only thing that surprised me was his manners. The Lieutenant was generally more well mannered than the rest of his type but that isn’t saying a whole lot.

    Seems a lot more calm and collected than the Rats in the future. I don’t know if they would have asked everyone to step aside before opening fire.

    He was an adult. A dog. And dangerous, and yelling. Hadn’t he ever seen Old Yeller?

    That’s what’s known as a ‘one shot’ negotiation. Not a wise move on the canine humanoid’s part, and he learned that lesson the hard way.

    Kind of like the opening scene of that Stallone ‘B’ movie, “Cobra,” minus the product-placement Coors can Sly takes a swig from before capping the bad guy (who was holding a hostage at the time).

    It’s the Officer rat. I remember him by his glases. He was the only one which was at last a bit sympatic to me, because he is the most inteligent one of them.

    In short – is there a doctor in the audience, and don´t make yourself a large target if you take hostages.

    Is that a knife or a razor?

    Love the shot, thru the mouth and out the top of his head. When bombs are falling we ain’t got time for talking.

    I bet Doc is happy he didn’t go with the Keanu Reeves/Speed approach to hostage negotiation.

    I think we’ll find out whether other VIPs are using their real names in Endtown or aliases. Like Mallard.“Professor Mallard?… PROFESSOR MALLARD?… You, there, the duck… Are you a professor?”“…Yes…”“Are you a Mallard?”“Um…” ::looks at himself:: “I suppose I am… I— …Yeeahhh, I’m Professor Mallard! A VIP… Yes, I am…”
