01x10 - Heroes

[bunniefuu]

[Crowd cheering]

Can I get a Sea Breeze?

We're about to go onstage.

Eh, they're mostly juice.

I live on a ship.

Gotta prevent scurvy.

Whole thing feels wrong.

Just smile and pretend everything is fine.

Everything is fine.

You really believe that, don't you?

I don't believe in wallowing in guilt and shame

for the rest of my life, but to each their own.

Ah, Supernova's right.

What's an accidental genocide here, a couple of murders there?

Lower your voice.

k*lling the people who called us for help

'cause all the alien blobs on these bush-league planets

look the same?

Not a mistake I saw us making twice, but—

Perhaps every time.

For who are we to arrive in these new worlds

and presume to know who is the oppressor

and who is the oppressee?

You see? That. Right there.

Whoever we k*ll is the oppressor.

And then the survivors throw us a little ceremony,

give us a medal, their firstborns, whatever.

And we get to do it again and again.

And is it too late to get another Sea Breeze?

Yes!

This confounding thing ...

Noob-Noob, give him your clip-on.

Well, then what am I gonna wear?

g*dd*mn.

And now, the heroes who vanquished Doom-Nomitron,

who saved us from the same fate as Xildor 9 ...

The Vindicators!

[Cheers and applause]

Ahhh!

[Cheers and applause continue]

[Audience cheers]

[Cheers and applause continue]

[Cheers and applause continue]

See? We're still heroes.

No.

We're Vindicators!
