Know you not, oh rash ones, that I have doomed you to extermination?” “Have mercy on us!” “Hear us, ere you slaughter!”

No googling or refs, source is ragbag memory.

Whoops! Sorry about that, lno and lieu… I’m gonna claim I was just so discombotulated by Bricker making an error that I mixed the two of you up.

Since I just found this and everyone already got what I knew, I’d just thought I’d throw in that Lazarus Long did indeed rescue Llita and Joe, but at the time, everyone knew him as Capt. Aaron Sheffield.

I’m keepin’ my eye open for the next challenge. Beer is good.
