Mal, WHAT the FUCK!?
Did you seriously just bring me into this? Because by now I would have thought that you would have known better.
First, leave me out of your petty squables. I may not start fights like my arch-type did, but I damn well finish them. Second, Benjamin has pulled my ass out of the fire a few times too. I may be a high-performance bioandroid, but that doesn't mean I can be in two places at once. And FUCK HARUHI. (Yeah, you heard me, so come and get me if you dare, mädchen.) Benjamin could have walked away from her offer. In fact, he makes a show out of disobeying her when it goes against our interests, or even worse, the interests of the Convention.
In fact, he really didn't need her help in the first place. He only made that deal because it got what he needed sooner and left him with more capitol to work with in the end. (He just didn't suspect that she would incur the wrath of the US Government.) Make no mistake about it, Mal. Even if he didn't make that back-alley deal, the Roughriders would still exist in some form today.
Oh, and Benjamin would still be a Big Damn Hero because he already was one. He rescued Queen Serenity before the SOS-Con.
Oh? A Randian hero? Hah! He doesn't quite look the part and he knows it. He's too short and skinny. The girls only chase him because of his Tenchi Masaki Syndrome quirk.
That aside, he's a fighter and a lover. The Belters respect us because of the things Benjamin has done, and we get more young-buck Belter kids turning up on our doorstep than the Fderation, the Republic, and the Patrol all combined. We just can't hire them because we're full up. (We had to sell off all the clanks just to hire as many as we could!)
Sure, in the end someone else found Boskonian prime, but we were too busy with supression (the data on those battles, however, helped narrow the search area considerably). There were too many Belters dying out there, so we kept on flying. Some of us died bravely. Some of us died for HIM! Him so that he can keep on leading US!
So don't you fucking dare say anything like that about him or us. He deserves the praise that gets heaped onto him, even if he doesn't really acknowledge it.
Stop trying to pick a fight. Ben won't strike first and niether will I (as much as I'd like to). But if you do... Skuld help you because it will drag just about everybody into it. This ends now.
By the way, I am trying to be as nice about this as I am capable of and it took me THIS LONG to get a letter out... and AC Peters built my body. Think about that, okay?

OOC: Phew! that's a bit of a relief, Mal. You'll have to forgive Gina. She's very protective. Like a mother bear. Ben is everything to her because of their circumstances - when he could have done something like delete her or take advantage of her, he instead kept her from going insane. Oh yeah, she's a tsundere and she doesn't give a damn until you call her on it. Then she'll just kick your ass on principal. (^_^
Just keep in mind that any further disparaging remarks is gonna send her flying off the rails. Just because Benjamin made sure she didn't go insane doesn't mean she's always the most stable of people - she knows this, hence her usual restraint, but she still has her hot buttons.
BTW: Is it bad that she is in my head right now, giving me an evil look at the thought of a sign that says, "Please Do Not Provoke The Happy-Fun-Berserker"?
