Camera pan to me, staring in mixed confusion and horror.

@hierarchon I literally cannot imagine being able to force myself to do [thing], even when I know it's something that absolutely has to be done. but apparently some people can?? It's such an alien idea.

commander: "...but what is her plan?"
hostile telepath: "that was it. we are sorry."
