"Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the "Recon Rover Rick" character with a multi-tiered media campaign — televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours—the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers."

"If you read our last adventure, you may recall the final terrifying scene where Tippy Tinkletrousers ended up cowering beneath the gigantic foot of Zombie Nerd Harold. You were probably horrified when the super-sized shoe slammed down to the ground, leaving behind a squishy, red stain. You may even have commented on the surprising inappropriateness of such a murderous and bloody scene appearing in a children's book. It's fun to feel offended, isn't it?"
"What are you doing? Hey, let go! STOP IT!"

That was only an instant before meat and matter exploded through the eye and nose-slits in Doom's armor, through his mouth, through whatever minute openings there were in his metal suit. With it came blood. Lots of it.
The entire process took only a few seconds. When it was done, not much remained within the armor except liquid and bone fragments. The metal was very hot to the touch.

The king was elated, but he kept the queen hidden in a room until the Sunday when the baby was to be baptized. At the baptism he said, "What does a person deserve who drags someone out of bed and throws him into the water?"
The old woman answered, "The scoundrel deserves nothing better than to be put into a barrel stuck full of nails, and then rolled downhill into the water."
Then the king said, "You have pronounced your own sentence."
He ordered such a barrel to be brought. The old woman and her daughter were put into it, and the top was hammered shut. Then the barrel was rolled downhill until it fell into the river.

Obi-Wan and Satine also get caught up in a terrorist attack while strolling through Mandalore, and the guy who did it decides to jump from a high place and kill himself rather than get caught. Yeah, I think we can stop pretending that Clone Wars is a kids show at this point.
