Backstory 30: Captain Bombastic and the Brown Mud Cowboy

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

An AT-hauler. These people came to a warzone to steal a glorified dump truck? They’ve either got a really crazy leader or a really good deal on this bounty. Or whatever it is that brought them here.

And it’s never a good sign when your leadership starts snarking back at you. Or maybe it’s actually good? It means someone might mess up real bad and you’d better think fast.

Transcript

Jim: A Y-45 armoured transport hauler flew overhead.
Beckett: AT-hauler. That’s what we came for. Forward operations must be this way.
Jim: Ben, since your character died, you can be Corporal Wesger Odry.
Wesger Odry: They are, but the Major said we’re supposed to go that way!
Beckett: Yeah, go that way and die!
Wesger Odry: That’s exactly what happened to the Major!
Beckett: Who’s the ranking officer now?
Wesger Odry: You are, Captain.
Rio: Haha! He’s got you there.
Val: So what’s the plan, Captain Beckett?
Beckett: You mudskulls go that way and get killed. We’ll go this way.
Wesger Odry: Wait! One question!
Beckett: You wanna live, sparky?
Wesger Odry: Are you sure there aren’t any other NPCs here who outrank Beckett?
Jim: Positive.
Wesger Odry: In that case, yes, I want to live.
