Hand to Hand For Manipulators

I walked my way down the hall continuing to feel bad for them, I really did. If I could have laughed I would have. They were the cream of the crop, the elite of the elite.

It was refreshing to see the natural disaster himself, the obnoxious lightbulb getting his ass handed to him. He was getting especially beat, it was as if the colonel had it out for him.
