Kindle Notes & Highlights
The alien held up his suddenly glowing hand and barked a phrase, though Charlie couldn’t quite make it out through the electric pain flashing through his body as he was abruptly flung through the air. He slammed roughly into a pile of debris and slumped to the ground, very much unconscious.
That was the most moronic attemp at intimidation I have ever witnessed.
Locking me up and smacking my friends? These bastards are going to pay,
Gonna yell at them some more while NOT firing a weapon.
“Ah, is spell, then.” “No, technology.”
This level of not understanding is just stupid word play.
“I’m not for sale. You can’t just take people and force them into slavery.”
This is an idiotic statement.
My guess is my buddy Tuktuk, here, is just some hick who believes every tall tale he’s told.
As opposed to some moron who wants everything to fit in his limited view of reality.
Charlie may have been a foreigner to the strange world, but he was not stupid.
All evidence to the contrary.
Is that blood on his lips? He must be more injured than I thou––
Charlie is a fucking idiot. This level of pure stupidity is docking the rating a star.
“Wampeh,” he softly said. “Sounds an awful lot like Vampire.”
That you saved, you idiotic coward.
Great. Now I’m in the shit for helping a vampire.
So your impulsive, ill informed descision had a consequence.
and hoped they’d allow him to see her soon.
Every time I think he can not be more idiotic, he just says something and shows how stupid he really is.
Charlie woke up in his cell sometime later,
That he was not killed at this point is just plot armor. This story is rapidly losing stars.
Things had taken a dark turn for the stranded spaceman from Earth.
Being a coward who failed his friends can lead to that.
Everything seemed to have lost that shade of novelty.
Maybe if he took things seriously from the start it could have turned out differently.
He shut his eyes and lay in bed awake a long time, gears churning in his head while he worked on a plan for escape.
Which he SHOULD have been doing from the start.
This, Charlie lamented, was not what I had planned.
Brst an idiot like him could hope for.
You seem like you have a bit more brain in that head than most we pick up.
Unlikely.
He liked to call himself an extroverted introvert during his military service,
Nope, I call bullshit. This moron has never had any military service!
“If I could just get this stupid thing off, maybe I could understand what’s going on around here,” he grumbled to himself.
Doubt it. He is to myopic to understand anything.
Marban crouched over him, an annoyed look spread across his scarred face. “Idiot. Now look what you’ve done.”
It is not surprising. A shock collar to keep him from running and he thinks only the translation function will keep working! He is such a moron!
Where he expected circuits and wires,
No one has ever understood any tech talk. Why would he expect circuits and wires? Ohh, yeah, he is an idiot who refuses to learn about his current situation.
Through all of the raids, he stuck true to his personal ethics,
Cowardice is not the same as ethics. He enslaves and has others do the killing he is to scared to do himself.
I am so screwed.
Doubt it. You have had plot armor till now, why would it stop?
“You have spirit,” the man said, sizing him up
This is so wrong, so very, very wrong.
“Very observant. It is your sharp wits that led me to believe you would perform better when faced with an asymmetric attack.
He is a coward who refuses to act. He did as well as he could.
“There are actual enchanted weapons here?” Charlie found himself asking,
Moron.
This is it. This is how I die.
About gods damned time, you useless piece of shit!
but miraculously,
No, plot armor.
“I’m trying.
This is the one thing he has not done since the crash.
Ser Baruud thought long and hard, staring at him until the silence threatened to unsettle his mind. “No, Charlie. I will not. Not today, anyway.”
And this is plot armor.
Baruud smiled. “Good. You have been paying attention.
But not thinking.
