I think it was probably an oversight that Jon can easily correct.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Serial commas ... I can see the problem.

There is no reason other than blind prejudice not to use serial commas. On the other hand, there are plenty of situations in which they are absolutely necessary for a sentence to make sense, so one might as well be consistent and use them all the time.
