1. [Video] Much Ranting to Be Had

[mostremaining]

[Gilbert is at the terminal again, a nutrition bar in his hand. A stack of them can be seen in front of him. He begins to practically shout into the screen, gesticulating angrily.]

Hey, everybody! Gilbert here, and I am PISSED! We've got these stupid bars again! And the restaurant is CLOSED! Definitely, surely, one-hundred-per-cent CLOSED! I checked around the area, in the area, around the area some more, and NOTHING! Maybe we should FORCE the restaurant open somehow! Like, I don't know, we could get in there somehow and maybe raid their ingredients... they've got to still have ingredients.

[An incredibly huffy sigh.] I have to eat bunches of these things before I feel full... [He reluctantly takes a giant bite out of the nutrition bar in his hand.] I've had a nutrition bar month before, but I'd still like to ask you guys: how do YOU survive the Nutrition Bar Lifestyle?

Oh. If he gives us only those tasteless things there, but offers things more varied, at a heavy price, isn't that taunting us through the restaurant's cost? It was what I had thought at first, that he wanted to see us giving in and running all over the tower to find whatever it is we needed to find to keep our bodies intact.

*Of course, he's turned out painfully wrong.*

I see. You think he loves seeing us scramble around the tower and then removing our body parts when we fail? Yeah, that sounds about right. Surgical enough for Jason, at any rate.

At the very least, it would have been the opposite of the "coddling" he claimed Dax was doing.

But it was Dax all along, with what little influence he could exercise over Jason.

Dax was probably just trying to help, but I can't help but thing that the compromise kind of hurts us, too. I mean, if we fail, Jason still gets to play surgery with us, sort of. Well, he had to do what he could.

In the end it was Jason's choice. I'm surprised Dax was able to convince him at all.
