When the smeg gets going, the going gets smeg.
Jacky didn't particularly like Seymour. He was pompous, he was selfish, and did not seem too bright. However, Jacky ran over and tried to help him up from Bedge's attack. Bedge responded by trying to punch Jacky, but considering the state of his arms, didn't pack enough force to knock off his goggles. It did, however, nudge them. Jacky corrected this.
Everyone in the room turned to look at Jelena. She stood in well deserved confusion, and so Seymour decided to explain.
"We are going to help Marilyn Monroe blow up a comet to save a bunch of condom-based life forms and let them attack humanity so that we can gain access to fine silk."
Jelena was even more confused, but she wasn't surprised.
Jacky was getting ticked. He saw Justin laughing at Seymour's expense, and was getting especially ticked at Justin's attitude. Jacky turned to face the nearest person, which happened to be Alex, and said in a secretive tone (but intentionally loud enough for everyone to hear) that "Justin shouldn't be laughing, Seymour got to TOUCH Marilyn."
Justin stopped laughing and stood up to face Jacky, who was wearing a smug grin with his hands behind his back.
"That is a cheap shot, my friend!"
"What are you going to do, hit me?"
In anger, ironically, this is exactly what Justin tried to do. It passed harmlessly through Jacky, who simply walked away, satisfied.
Alex was also a little steamed. "This was a very important situation." he stated."We need to be serious about all of this."
Jacky continued to grin at Justin, and was met, in response, a kick to the shins from Marilyn.
"Listen here you rude little dork! You know how to operate those panels?"
"I do." Jacky rubbed his leg.
"Then get going." She aimed the gun at him.
Jacky was not thinking clearly under the conditions, and did something he actually regretted as soon as it happened: He spit on Marilyn Monroe.
The woman beamed with rage and shot his legs, making them much younger, and then shot his face, making it much, much older. He fell over painfully and suddenly, positioning himself in a push-up position to look up at Marilyn's face. She was smiling.
Marilyn glanced at every person in the room, pointing her gun at each one. She motioned to Bedge and Jacky, noting what crossing her could cause, and making it clear that she could do far worse.
"It's up to all of you. You can die, or let them live..."
"...to kill." Alex responded.
"It's not so bad when you get used to it."
