We need wings here, he said ruefully.

You reported, Joe?

Sanford does act oddly, he said uncomfortably.
gpt
When he met me in the lock he said our coming was useless. He talked about the futility of everything while I reported. He sounds like he sneers at every possible action as useless.

human
We won't be knocked off! We've got rockets of our own up here now! We can fight back if there's another attack!

Your landing rockets set off four bombs on the way from Earth. You brought us six more rocket missiles. How many bombs can we knock down with them?
