Sheridan: Who are you?
Justin: Now, that's really not important.
Sheridan: Who are you?
Justin: Who decides that the workday is from 9 to 5 instead of 11 to 4? Who decides that the hemlines will be below the knee this year, and short again next year? Who draws up the borders, controls the currency, handles all of the decisions that happen transparently around us?
Sheridan: [slightly confused] I don't know.
Justin: Ah! I'm with them. Same group, different department.

"When it comes to the First Order, we don't know if they have control over any planets, and yet it seems like they're already everywhere at all times. Let's just take this moment to appreciate that an entire Star Wars sequel trilogy was created, and we the audience have no clue what the First Order even is, what planets they control, or how the rest of the galaxy feels about them. That's why the new Star Wars movie universe feels so dead and devoid of life."

Medic: Don't think you're off the hook, Engineer! The Institute is one of the worst factions in the entire fucking series!
Engineer: Now wait just a goddamn minu—
Demoman: HE'S RIGHT! THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO DUMB, IT GOT ME TO SPIT OUT MY BOTTLE OF SCRUMPY!
Engineer: Opposing House is one thing, but the Institute? Do you boys just hate prosperity or something?
Medic: Please tell me how kidnapping random people and replacing them with Synths benefits anyone?
Demoman: Don't even bother, Medic. THE FUCKING GAME DOESN'T FEEL COMPELLED TO GIVE YOU A REASON! That's the problem with this shitty fucking game! The Institute is just evil for the sake of being evil, while factions like the Minutemen barely suffer any flaws!
Medic: I may hate the NCR, and I think that Demoman is a total soyboy, but at least I can admit that they're trying to do good in the world.
Demoman: I think the Legion is hands-down the shittiest faction in the series, But at least I can admit they're ruthlessly efficient.

"In recent months, a new criminal network has been wreaking havoc. Drugs, weapons, terrorism, the whole lot! And to top it all off, they've developed a powerful superweapon. Our team has done a good job: we've identified a number of bases around the world. As well as the leader of the organization, who goes by the name General Viper. But we don't know where he's hiding, or what the secret weapon is. What's more, these mercenaries have taken hostages! We need you, Sergeant! We need to disband the group, take out their weapons, kill the General, and free the hostages. You know, everything it takes to be a hero!"
