[ From the gaming car, it's Kaiba. He's taken to tying his orange hoodie around his waist and popping the collar of his orange polo, in an effort to maintain the dramatic silhouette he loves so much. ]

Does it bother anyone else that the only glue holding this tiny slice of society together is the fact that we're trapped in a claustrophobia-inducing tin can rattling through the interdimensional void?

Think about it. We're from all walks of life. All different social structures. Predators and prey, haves and have-nots, all together and brought down to size. Homogenous societies themselves don't have a great track record of avoiding division and war, so the only thing keeping our tiny tube afloat and relatively at peace is the fact that there's no escape should we cause a big enough disruption.

Can alliances forged under these conditions truly be called genuine? Is it really what you call friendship, if such a thing exists? Or family? Would you accept someone who would be your enemy in any other circumstance? Who's committed unforgivable acts, and is still capable of doing so? Somehow I doubt it.

That'd be a weird thing to get paid for. I just saved your life-now give me fifty dollars.

Well, generally, the police are taxpayer-funded for that reason. To make it less overtly transactional.

Altruism takes a lot out of you.

Lotta stuff gets damaged by superheroing-I think there's even a super hero-damage insurance claim these days-doubt if anyone would want tax dollars going to us.

Although, Mr Stark's got it all worked out-he over sees the department of damage control.
