Hey, knock it off with the TV Tropes links.

The guys have work to do.

I don't think he took very long to look at it if  he responded two minutes later :)

Yeah, sometimes I get sucked into tv tropes -- that should be a trope in and of itself -- but not when I have this much to do. ;)

Text Interjection System almost sounds like the Star Trek version of a name for a simple dialog system in a game, then. It's not like I'm trying to make fun of it or make it sound like a weak addition or something, but I tend to get some amusement out of seeing fancy names for things that aren't fancy. It's like, if someone is in a dire situation, and is actually really monotone about it. The contrast makes it funny to me.
...or maybe it's actually called a text interjection system in technical terms, and I'm just being silly.

Oh right. We're talking about tvtropes?
I am actually clenching my fist and gathering all of my willpower to not click those links.

In terms of the name, we pretty much go concrete descriptive, especially when there are several different dialogue features in one game with different uses and benefits. But I see the humor in it. :)

Can the AI still send waves after its dead?
That doesn't seem right. Surely you could lose and win at the same time in situations like that.

Losing your command station doesn't erase the "You win" screen from what I recall.
Life is short. Have fun.

I think that this should be fixed. Especially with avenger plots enabled  8)
