[quote]"An unfortunate victim of science" - ouch[/quote]

That's actually talking about Grunt. Look back at the context.

[quote]”...A failed fey invader, a alocholic alien and a mentally challenged... thing...” He started to mumble
”A repentant fey invader, a formidable brawler and a” The hologram trailed of. ”A unfortunate victim of science”[/quote]

The hologram was trying to repeat everything Merlovich said, but with a more positive spin on things. Failed vs. Repentent, Alcoholic vs. Formidible brawler. Merlovich called Grunt a mentally challenged thing, and then the best retort Archie had to that was "An unfortunate victim of science."

I actually really liked those two sentences because they kind of gave me a good picture of how Merlovich thinks AND how Archie thinks.
