Oh, lol. Yeah, don't read those either. Same issue until page 100 or something. lol

Oh, lol about the sidewinder. Yeah, those changes would work.

Oh, taste. I thought you did say smell, not taste. Doesn't matter really. But okay, those changes will work. Just make sure it's clear. ;)

You can change the weapon if you like, ;)

Those changes would suffice.
