I apologize if I seem to be over educated but that's something I can't change and can honestly see no reason to.
I was practically raised in a Gaming an Comic Book store that was owned by my uncle, heck I even began working the at 14 though as far as the state an IRS are concerned didn't start till I was 15.

Oh an if Cypress wanted Ruby Dead she'd have used one of the 7 blades she carries (6 throwing knives and 1 Tanto)

As I said I hope I don't seem combative or confrontational
I actually enjoy discussing such matters because they are a way for me to discover new ways to see things or to alter my own actions.

Oh and I discovered a much simpler solution to the present conflict, Cypress an the others could be recalled by Aperture. The company wouldn't need to explain why just issue the command and if their operatives want to continue to receive their hefty paychecks they will return
