I think we disagree on the nature of TIM more than anything. I legit think he's a knight templar who really does want to do good for humanity. You don't. I'd sooner trust him with the base than anyone else, simply because they'd either not have the resources to utilize it effectively, or they'd have some bullshit moral problem with it. I only destroy it because I view it as an artifact similar to the One Ring of Sauron: It was never meant to work for us, and it doesn't matter how much to the contrary I'd like to use it, it's going to be spiked with some kind of Reaper controlling mechanism that indoctrinates.
That's right. I think at best he's criminally incompetent (and actually criminal to boot) and at worst he's been a wanna be Palpatine the whole time. I think you idealize him far too much, simply because he happens to occupy a niche you approve of or perhaps aspire to. But he's not a very good fit, in constitution or capability. I can respect the need for what you want him to be. But I firmly deny he's anywhere close.
I knew what TIM's goals for the station were pretty much right off the bat, and to be honest, he had my 120% support, but with one catch: As I said, it can't be controlled. The technology is too unpredictable, and it's trying to get something for nothing. I'd take anyone in Cerberus, especially the 'douchebags', because I can trust them to do the job. I'm not wanting them to sing kumbaya and have us be friends and allow them over for dinner on Wednesdays. I'm saying, the people capable of doing what they do in Cerberus are the same people who are willing to do what they do to fight the Reapers. As long as it doesn't subvert my own efforts (which I'd make quite clear), I'd basically be telling them to go nuts. As long as it has a practical benefit that has a stronger utility and doesn't take away more resources than it produces, then I'm fine with it.
I don't give a damn about trust for people like that. Because the one thing I can trust from them is that they'll do anything to keep themselves ahead. And as long as they realize that the Reapers getting ahead means a negative for themselves, then I'll give them what they need and wish them the best.
I don't think we're going to agree on this very much.
As for the coffee, I'd let someone else try it. If it works, congrats to TIM. If it failed, I'd tell him to try a different recipe.
Creating adjutants for the lulz isn't unpredictable, it's stupid. And you know what's better than sociopathic douchebags who get the job done? Regular, non-douchebags who get the job done. We have proof they exist. So round'em up and use'em and to the airlock with the rest. And I wouldn't even be opposed to using douchebags as long as they can be properly controlled and disposed of once their task is done. Sadly this is not the case when the guy in charge is himself a douchebag. But that just brings us back to our disagreements about TIM. Which we will have to leave here because we won't agree.
Also, if it's all the same to you I'd rather not need a coffee tester. Surely there are more productive things for him to do.
