Cels Piñol solved this issue with much more style in his Fanhunter comic series.
(Ridli Scott and fodder-like Macute creature end up at mutual point-blank deadlock situation)
Ridli Scott: Mind if I shoot first? I'm in a hurry...
Macute: Of course...
BANG BANG
Ridli Scott I knew a Trucutru Biolabs creation would not defraud me.
BTW, Ridli Scott's not a misspelling; it's an actual character from Fanhunter a colonial marine who sweats acid when someone badmouths Sigourney Weaver.
