00:05Courtyard at the other end of your building, that's your best bet
00:09Copy that
00:10Well, we sure as shit can't stay here
00:13You're Baird
00:14Yeah, that's right, asshole
00:16Question is, who are you?
00:22Quick to fling out a wry joke
00:24Damon Baird makes light of everything
00:27My unique charisma should do the trick
00:29Paired with a ferocious intelligence and skill for invention
00:33Those are locust tunnels, Phoenix
00:35You know I'm right
00:36Arrogant, smug, sarcastic
00:38He carries a perpetual sneer on his face
00:43He may crack wise at any opportunity
00:45Keeping many at bay with his sharp and caustic wit
00:48But his quick thinking and adaptable acumen
00:51Is what makes him a reliable ally on the battlefield
00:55Well, get Baird to come up with an idea
00:58No problem
00:58I've killed blowy leviathans before, remember?
01:01Often coming up with unconventional solutions to problems
01:04I thought you'd enjoy the witty irony of grub on blowy violence
01:07Yeah, it's fucking hilarious
01:09You're gonna blow up the whole ship, genius!
01:11Raised in a privileged household
01:13Baird grew up loving machines
01:15Building and tinkering evolved from innate interest
01:18To recognizing and nurturing his own talent
01:21Belligerent and often angry
01:23Baird's arc curves from antagonistic jackass
01:27To reluctant aide
01:28To eventually trusted friend and companion
01:31His close friendship with Cole
01:33Often echoes the core dynamic we see between Marcus and Dom
01:37Founded on their own past battlefield experiences
01:40Baird's connection with Cole sustains him
01:42As the war worsens
01:45His figurative role in the Gears of War universe
01:48Represents the human ingenuity and adaptability
01:51That ultimately gives humanity the edge
01:53Over their monstrous enemies
02:03That was fun
