[[There is one human in the panel. The human points at their chest.]]
Human: I just have one tattoo - it's six dots on my chest, done by my oncologist.
Human: I need them for aligning the laser sights on a flesh-searing relativistic particle cannon,
Human: So it will only kill the parts of me
[[Dramatic zoom, the panel background is black, with white text.]]
Human: That are holding me back.
[[The panel is larger, revealing who they're talking to.]]
Human: But your barbed wire bicep tattoo is pretty hardcore, too!
Dejected: No, it's OK. I'll just go put a shirt on.
{{Title text: I calculate that the electrons in radiation therapy hit you at 99.8% of the speed of light, and the beam used in a 90-second gamma ray therapy session could, if fired with less precision, kill a horse (they did not let me test this).}}
