[i]"Dare you accuse my Corps. of wreaking this needless havoc? Listen to me, weakling, and listen well."[/i] Shrapnel said, drifting closer to the Star Sapphire. [i]"It is a strain on it's own to be forced to work with a pathetic Sapphire, like yourself, but I shall not stand for you to throw around your ignorant accusations."[/i]
He said, malice dripping from his voice. He turned away from the woman, cringing as he moved too close to the blue lantern.

[i]"As for the Blue one has pointed out, this is no time for joking. Perhaps if you could focus for longer than a goldfish, you would understand the seriousness of this situation. But no, I suppose you barley have the mental capacity to match such a creature."[/i]

Shrapnel raised his ring, playing out a holographic video. Death. Destruction. Carnage. The video showed the Manhunters verily tearing apart the planet.

[i]"Perhaps that puts it in better perspective for you?"[/i]

Shrapnel said, allowing the lights to flicker out. 

[i]"You are correct, in that that was barley a full squad. Needless to say, at least one of them most likely alerted their comrades of us. It would not be wise to stay here. Perhaps someone has a plan?" He asked, allowing his form to degrade back into twisted metal.
