   One should always be careful about attaching conditions to a request. It’s uncanny how often such conditions can be met, often in direct proportion to their inconvenience.

     It reminds me of men in black.

   Ever wonder what modern arms would do to a dragon? It’s an old book, but Brian Daley’s Doomfarers of Coramonde depicts an M113 crew’s difficulties in dispatching a fire-breathing dragon.

   To phlogiston! Clink!

     I wonder quite often, actually, and I think the odds would be a lot more even in the humans’ favor these days. And I’m pretty sure someone’s written about the matter since. But… “M113 crew”? Meaning this…?

     I was thinking more of aerial combat with one or more modern fighters. Having an M113 wouldn’t give its crew any special advantages against your average dragon.

     I do wonder what a shoulder-launched grenade, rocket or armor-piercing whatever would do. As long as I’m at it, I wonder what Iron Man(TM) would do.

   This is why lackeys need a labor union – it’s just too difficult to work for scale otherwise!

     At the moment I’d say he’s both working overtime and for hazardous duty pay – neither of which he’s likely to get, even if he survives.
