"I can't promise you that. These days, it takes a lot to trigger an involuntary incident. Saying something I don't like won't do it. Hitting me in the face once won't do it, either. Repeatedly hitting me, trying to provoke me? That probably will, depending on the circumstances. If ROMAC attacked the base and people were being hurt? I'd almost definitely become the Other Guy. Stubbing my toe wouldn't do it, but breaking a bone or a serious cut, one requiring stitches, would. It all just depends on the situation and how much space and time I have to calm myself down."
