Heard from an uninspired tower controller somewhere south of Ascension, to an F3 wishing to depart north IFR (and to all those who have not had the joy of being here, north is toward some pretty high highground).
"Eagle 1, tower, right turn out on departure approved, caution, terrain responsibility is your separation!"
"Uhhhh, roger tower!"
Damn, change 6 strikes again!!!!!!!
Things are always worse than they seem!
