[@LeeRoy]

[i]Once again Bruce Lee had to muscle his way into the equation, this time with a nice little quote.[/i]

[b]*"Let an opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let an opponent smash into your flesh and you fracture his bone; let an opponent fracture your bone and you take his life! Do not be concerned with your escaping safely; lay your life before him!"*[/b]

[i]Such was the philosophy of a berserker, such was the philosophy of Gonad. His offence was his defense. Whatever damage LeeRoy threatened, Gonad would raise him two chips. LeeRoy could grab Gonad's knees if he so pleased, and scorch them to the bone. But in doing so he would have no limbs with which to protect his head, and trying to leap aside or duck and slip what came next would be futile. Gonad's hands were big too, and his left one, curled into a fist large enough to engulf a human face, would be set to smash through the glass dome covering LeeRoy's head as he attacked, maybe even interrupting the grab before serious damage could be inflicted. It would be like a homeless vagrant deciding to wantonly peer into a dark tunnel only to have his block taken off by a silent bullet train. The barbarian would have needed but an instant to lean down and loose a sudden straight the likes of which would reduce the scientist's face to little more than a marred knuckle imprint studded with shards of (probably) bullet-proof glass or high density plastic. 

LeeRoy could try to leap aside in his standing motion, but that would require far more time than it would take for Gonad to throw his well-aimed punch. What's more, if the blow landed and LeeRoy were put onto his back again and with perhaps about as much metaphorical sense as he had entered the fight with, the very next thing his rattled brain would register was the barbarian's titanic mass straddling his chest, piston fists ready to beat his skull into the floor unless he relented.[/i]
