They want me to bring the heat? I’ll bring them the heat.

Um, actually, I think I’m overheating. I’m pretty sure I saw flames back there. I hate that these stupid implants need external lubrication and fuel to function. Being a walking gas can is really hard on the ol’ social life.

I hope someone with a fire extinguisher comes along soon. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep these flames under control. I still have a mission to finish.
