Oh, and because I could...#9:

A Cerberus Combat Engineer is calibrating an Atlas mech when a Guardian comes walking over. Guardian: "Steve, hey Steve!" Engineer: "James, you don't have to have that stupid voice filter on in the base." Guardian: "Right..." *turns off voice filter* "Steve, you know that glass they use for the Altases?" Engineer: "It's not 'glass', it's a polycrystalline composite—" Guardian: "Yeah, glass, whatever. Anyway, I know most people just fire center-mass at my shield ineffectually, but the only way I can see through it is to look out that little slot and my head is a little exposed looking out that slot, so I was thinking that maybe you could put some of that glass in my shield slot?" Engineer: "Why, what do you mean?" Guardian: "Look..." *lifts up shield, puts face in front of slot* "You could easily—" Engineer: *pulls out Phalanx and shoots the Guardian in the face* Guardian: *falls over, screaming in pain* Engineer: "Yeah, I see your point." *gets back to work*
