ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

An event that occurs when a Collector Drone in the video game Mass Effect 2 is possessed by Harbinger, the main villain of the game. It is one of his constantly repeated one-liners designed to intimidate you and it generally fails in that respect. Can be used to indicate that you have had your mind and body taken over by an alien consciousness.
Billy: Hey Jim, want to go to the cinema?

Jim: Is something the matter?

Billy: YOUR FORM IS FRAGILE. WE WILL DIRECT THIS ONE PERSONALLY. WE ARE THE HARBINGER OF YOUR ASCENSION. I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS. IF I HAVE TO TEAR YOU APART SHEPARD I WILL. YOU HAVE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF THOSE INFINITELY YOUR GREATER.

Jim: No need to be a bitch about it..

Billy: YOU HAVE FAILED.

slice and dice

To slice and dice is to break a body of information down into smaller parts or to examine it from different viewpoints so that you can understand it better. In cooking, you can slice a vegetable or other food or you can dice it (which means to break it down into small cubes). One approach to dicing is to first slice and then cut the slices up into dices. In data analysis, the term generally implies a systematic reduction of a body of data into smaller parts or views that will yield more information. The term is also used to mean the presentation of information in a variety of different and useful ways.

This term can be compared to drilldown, which is the process of dividing an information area up into finer and finer layers in a hierarchy, but with the purpose of narrowing in to one small area or item.

Also can be used as a reference to violence.
"Multidimensional analysis involves drill as well as slice and dice."
