They begged you for mercy, without ever knowing if you were actually listening. Now, when they look to the sky, they don't ask us for lightning, they don't ask us for rain, they just want to see one of their so-called superheroes. When did we become the joke?"''

->Oh yes, spoiler alert: turns out Cortana’s dramatic death scene in the last game wasn’t for realsies...But despite Mr. Chuffy knowing Cortana best and his grief affecting his work--'cos they had to install little windscreen wipers to get all the tears off his face plate--he is inexplicably disinvited from the mission. (I guess his superiors thought they were playing ''{{VideoGame/XCom}}'' and wanted to level up some of their rookies.)
