Like '##### Galore'? No, I was trying NOT to go down that particular avenue of depravity.


Besides, the high collateral damage from Minmei and Lisa's covert war against each other WITH 'quiet' espionage weapons(as opposed to, say, more overt weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers) is a good reason why the Macross civilian police(and the Military Police for that matter) tend to stay in their station houses and barracks, where it's relatively safe.

“Congratulations; you have been chosen to take part in a Permanent Endowment Revivication Clones-R-Us Contract awarded to Dana Sterling. Your personal genome and persona matrix have been co-opted as part of this endowment and your accounts accredited accordingly with the purchase price of your personal genetic and memetic information! Congratulations!
Courtesy of a recent technology merger between Clones-R-Us and the Cylon Collective, we’re happy to announce that your PERCC now comes with our new Continuous Consciousness Lifeflow(tm) System. Attached to your head, you will find a headband. Please do not remove this. This wonderful device is recording your conscious brain state and preserving it for posterity and incorporation into your PERCC! In the event of your untimely discorporation from your current body, your consciousness will be instantly transfered to your new corporeal body at our Revivication Works or convenient Resurrection Ship! No more having to periodically check into a Dummy Pug Recording System or Brain Scan Center, with the possibility of missing memories because you missed a recording session; our quantum link system provides instant and unjammable up-to-the-micro-nano-nano-nanosecond preservation of your stream of consciousness!
Please wear the headband to insure your precious consciousness is not lost in event of accident or deliberate termination. Removal of the band will mean that if disaster strikes in an unguarded moment, the you who is you now may be lost! Removal of the headband also voids your PERCC bonus payments, and may result in you being hunted down by our Baseline Preservation Service, who will re-acquaint you with our PERCC policies and your obligations as an indentured persona-donor! Try as we might to smooth over any misunderstandings, we advise you NOT to test your PERCC or the BPS. This is all for your own good and good health.
But any inconvenience you may feel you suffer as a result of the CCLS hardware is, we assure you, only temporary. In the event of your untimely discorporation, your subsequent revivication will already have the CCLS incorporated into your new body! Your continued stream of consciousness is thus assured for your PERCC, regardless of what happens to you or what you’re wearing(or not) when it happens!
Any questions? Consult the handy info brochure accompanying this announcement, or contact Clones-R-Us to speak with a service representative! We’ll be happy to answer your questions, address any issues, and resolve any misunderstandings!
And again, congratulations on your selection! Enjoy your PERCC!”
