Ace's hologram: Well, I need some refined titanium and platinum. Working on a few new bullet designs down in the R&D department.

Ace's hologram: -sigh- It's alright, Old Man. Oh, and did you remember about Endymion's offer to buy your shop? I know business is tough these days, but we can MODERNIZE and bring your store new profits!
