"There's two kinds of people in that room. The people who don't know what they're talking about, shooting off their mouths - and those kind of people rarely make it anywhere important in this business. Then there's the people who take it all deadly seriously, and crack jokes to stay sane.
You ever heard murder scene techs? Black humor jokes about the dead, their families, their method of death left and right. Its not that they don't take what they do serious - its that they need something to stay sane. Everyone who matters knows what a lot of these aliens can do. They're ludicrously ahead of us in tech level, energy resources, armament - and these people get to stand in front of it with a raygun, a communicator, and some kind of relentless optimism. The jokes about cosmic dwarf-horses bearing super powers aren't mean-spirited... they're a godsend to the psych department."
Another sip. "And why I insist on good coffee."
