#handler shaming

"Jesus Herbert Walker Christ, the pilots are our most important asset! With the amount of money the government invests in this, if you keep breaking those girls, even a failgirl of a senator's daughter like you is going to get reassigned to clean the bilge pumps at this rate."

"Per my last message, Captain, pursuant to ATP 5-692.11, you are obliged to rotate your mech pilots off the line at regular intervals. Your Academy instructors should have taught you what failure to adhere to proper doctrine will incur, and gods help you if I have to enforce this."

"You will remove your cover in this office and stand at parade rest, Captain. This is a disciplinary hearing, and I am not one of your pilots, I am your fucking battalion CO. You are not the god of this unit, you are one of several Handlers, and I *will* replace you. Is that clear?"

"You see these two slices of bread from that retort pouch? What are you? That's right, an idiot sandwich. We have a robust supply chain for a reason and you cannot keep feeding the pilots this fucking swill for the rest of eternity."

"It's alright, kid. They've been reassigned pending disciplinary action. You're safe now. The private here will see you to the chow hall, and after that, we'll convene for the debriefing. Rest assured, your former handler will face consequences."

"Do not test me, Lieutenant, and do not violate Handler doctrine or military law again. Break another pilot, and I will unmake you."

"With what?….and you were under the impression that this would help the pilots how? My gods, Captain, the good idea fairy must've bit you twice this week. This is why we have to uphold the standards as an organization. That's stuff's unsat. Let's get you squared away."
