I imagine Ulysses' stupidity is of such a magnitude that it leaves everyone speechless.

By the way, I randomly selected that mission with a twenty sided die, and plan to do that every time in the future to simulate him picking random shit without reading it.

Edit: also, Ulysses has never actually met Averus. could be important. Although Averus might be aware of Ulysses' reputation of constantly blundering any mission requiring any subtlety at all.
