[OKAY. GONNA TRY AND BE AN ADULT HERE. You know, that thing Johnny is terrible at being? Yes. But he wants to be useful. Also, he's bored.]

Um, anyone need help with anythin'? Things are pretty wrecked, an' all things considered, I'm in okay shape after all that, so I can like... Clean stuff or lift stuff or whatever. I'm pretty strong, ya know.

[AWKWARD PAUSE GOES HERE. After looking unsure of what to say after a few moments, he pipes up again.]

So does shit like this happen often here? All-out battles an' attacks 'n' shit? Cuz if so, maybe we should start preparing for when they do find out we're still here.

That's what I wanna know! I mean, I did go out 'n fight 'n shit anyway. But most of the time I was hidin' underground. That ain't what I like to do.

At least you were around for the fighting. [Bitter, who sounds bitter, certainly not her.]

Was this the first large scale assault this United Earth has launched? It wouldn't excuse the lack of preparations, but it would be something to go on for any future attacks.

I ain't been here too long, so I don't know. I haven't heard people talk about other battles like this though.
