I'd wear something like that to a party or club, but if they asked me to while saving the world, I'd laugh in their faces. I mean, what is this, 1950? Jeez, at least this thing is warm...""Hey. I'm Susan." She nods at Echo "You, I think I saw on the news the other day. The FFM riot, right?" And Ms. DeLorme certainly needs no intro - I have to play plenty of her cra-I mean, music, at work. Waitaminute - I had to. Force of habit.

That would explain all that paperwork - please, please tell me there isn't a stack like that waiting for me..."</blockquote>
