the high lords would probably like his music. And would send down a covert team to capture and "convince" him to do some command performances between battles.

Young Beetles:(the older pop stuff) all the young meltrandi would squeal and get as close to their monitors as they could.
older Beetles:(the newer 'creative' stuff) would induce the zents to try some IFL joints

Classical: just noise to most, but some would find some calming effects during their death rides in their battle pods.

Rap: new unknown groups would appear aboard their ships dealing in protoculture and IFL leaves, along with defacing of bulkheads and battle pods.

Gangsta---The Zentraedi knock over Fort Knox or South Africa just to get enough gold bullion for all the gold chains they're going to need...

I envisage them turning into Renaissance Zentraedi/Meltrandi, walikng around wearing wigs, producing Zentraedi Rembrants, Meltrandi fashion designers "This would look fabulous with your guns dear!"

If there's an ALPHA Tactical Armored Corp, and they're spit-and-polish professional soldiers, the elite of the ground troops, then what about...?

(Shot of a squad of soldiers with what look like prototype Hovertanks, early model armor, early model energy weapons...all either marked in orange and black 'test' colors and photo-reference markings, scuffed, patched, and busted up, with burn marks. The troopers ain't too steady on their feet either, but they nevertheless can sing with all their hearts:)
"BETA! TACTICAL! ARMORED! CORPS!
WE AIN'T GOING TO TEST THIS S### NO MORES!"
(they collapse, as do their mecha)

Yeah, when you're on the bleeding edge of technology, anemia and faintheadedness are occupational hazards.

Ahh, the life of Beta testers every where, they do all the work but claim none of the glory.

Disturbing but funny.

"You may not play 'mecha polo' with your Hovertanks either...Nor play 'Air Hockey' with them either...especially consdiering that Lieutenant Satori and her hoverbike didn't know she was the designated 'puck'...She's out of the ICU, by the way, and intends to have a LOOONNNGGG word with you chuckleheads..."

Two years ago.....
Cadet Sterling: "you know Bowie, if they made up a game to play in our battloids everyone would be lining up to get more practice time."
Cadet Grant: "What brought this up? did they kick you off the lacrosse team? I was surprised when they let you play, the way you were kick off the field hockey team....."

Mantcore Power Armors. With Golf Clubs. On the Moon.
The sport was declared prohibited when a shuttle coming in to land at Moonbase ALUCE arrived with an orange golf ball embedded in its window right in front of the terrified co-pilot.
However, it's no small secret that even the high-ranking Cosmic Unit/Tactical Space Corps officers occasionally sneak out(under the cover of getting in required 'suit time) to the 'Dark Side Course' to shoot a few rounds of golf...There's some controversy among the diehard adherents, as to whether craters are 'greens' or 'hazards'. There's also rumors of a Martian league and tales of a few lucky golfers who've tee'ed off on Io, Europa, Titan, and Callisto.

Or the ever present ultimate suicide S/U; Walk up to the Regis with a salt shaker and go "Do you feel lucky?"

Word to the wise....Some full-size Zentraedi linebacker ALWAYS manages to run into the endzone and sack the tuba player in the marching band...
Avoid being near the tuba player at all costs...

Considering that there is still unexploded ordnance in these area laying around, it brings new meaning to the term Sudden Death.

He's at the ten, the twenty, He_Might_Just_Go_ All_ The _BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM OHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!!! He just hit an unexploded warhead!! (cameras zoom in on a smoking crater INSIDE the crater) Looks like that was a low yield one Dan. You're right Mike, I'd estimate it at no more than 500 pounds, but that spells the end for HIS career.
