#2: I may not be an expert, but it looks like we have a serious problem. Do we? #14: Maybe. This intelligence has not been confirmed. #2: So the plan is to wait until the human Tenth Fleet arrives and destroys us. Is that going to be our confirmation? #14: I am not a member of the General Staff. I cannot answer that question. #2: Sergeant Lopez called you a bug just before you shot him. Do you know what he meant by that? #14: Research shows that we resemble exoskeleton species from their home world. I suppose it was meant as an insult. But our exoskeleton is far superior and more evolved than their human body of soft tissue supported by bones. So I personally took being called a bug as a complement. #2: You missed Sergeant Lopez’ meaning completely. Perhaps that is due to the imperfections of our computer translation devices. On the human home world a bug is something stupid and little, that can be easily squashed. It fits you perfect. Defense rests. (After two hour recess) JUDGE: In regards to the civil lawsuit, the Court finds that #14 used excessive force against Lieutenant Czerinski while said human pestilence was in custody.
