Oh dear, here comes the puppy eyes, and such a dire prognosis you may even face the horrors of the pouty lip. I like Washu's explanation here, and how it basically boils down to "When I do a job, I do it right." If she was in a better mood, she might have just said that directly, and tacked on something like "I even accounted for your boneheaded stubbornness and the probability of getting injured while doing things the hard way, because I'm the greatest genius in the universe!"
I can see Deadpan29's point - I kind of shrugged the issue off as a product of the SI subgenre, but that aspect really would be better served if there was a few months of elapsed time rather than a few weeks. I understand that you have places you want to get to witht he story rather than doing the set-up, though.
Don't worry overmuch about my enthusiasm for the Macross material - you'll get there when you get there, and if not, well, I've got plenty of imagination, other fics to read, and oh yeah, thanks to finally getting that W7 laptop up and functional I've been futzing about with Champions Online again. More on that in The Legendary, rather than derailing here.
