“…gas or diesel?”

“Hmm…and can you do anything in a battle situation? Project this in a fiery stream, maybe?”

“Oh, no. Geez, that sounds like it would hurt!”

“So, you…go…in a gas tank. That’s it?”

“Just about. I thought I could help with the team vehicle or something.”

“Uh, not really, we use a fusion powered hovercraft. Listen, I’m sorry, but I don’t think you’d be a very good fit at this time. But, hey, at least you save at the pump, right?”

“Ah, sure. Thanks for your time.”
