*to Matsiyan*
I’m glad you enjoyed it. My own grandmother, unfortunately, would have been distraught that she wasn’t drinking out of crystal, and would never have realised what the wine was…I hope Cmdr. Jemel is all right. It _was_ a tough shift. We could check MedBay in case he isn’t.
*gets datapad and taps away*
//and waits for response before determining someone else’s status//*To Blaze, with honest curiosity*
But is there anywhere left where public transport isn’t fully automated?*to Mundy, surprised*
Of course there is. Even on the old Earth. Not all regions of the planet are advanced enough to have automated transport.No idea. When I got the order “coordinate fire with Lancer” I expected to see Jemel on the comms net and was about to request orders, then I saw Das. He seemed to do fine on the outside, but nothing on my reports and briefings for today hints at him. All around, this week is a clusterfuck.
*even more surprised, back at Blaze*
Really? On Paragon, we mostly relied on the trains, in urban areas. I loved those trains, they seemed to take no time at all. There were cars, but they were self-driving. Nobody needed to learn to drive unless they specifically wanted to, so I didn’t. I suppose it shows…Has anyone seen Wade? I ran into him as I was heading here. He just got back from that special assignment. I broke the news to him and I think he’ll be here as soon as he’s grabbed a shower.
*steps through the doors of the bar and glances around until he sees the familiar faces from his division. He stops over at the bar to grab a beer before moving to sit at the table with the others. He nods a brief greeting to them all then lowers his eyes to the table for a moment in somber silence before speaking up.*
“Not to understate the situation, but it sounds like I missed quite a lot on assignment. *tips his bottle toward Matsiyan* Thanks for briefly catching me up on that. *nods to van Leigh* Sorry to hear about the Phoenix. I hope she’ll spread her firey wings again soon.”
Perfect, now you show up.
*Glares. Goes to take a drink. Realizes that the glass is empty. Glaring intensifies*
After $#!% has hit the fan.
*raises a brow at Aramond, attempting to gauge his level of inebriation*
“Hey pal, it wasn’t my call to schedule a secret weapons test at the same time as my other assignment. Had I been able to, I would have been aboard the Raven when this went down.”
*he pauses to take a swig of beer and looks ahead in brief contemplation*
“But… I’m not sure I would have contradicted Xavier’s order if I had been.”
*looks at Aramond squarely*
“A weapon with the destructive capability that Matsiyan described to me… The idea to build something like that should never have even been -entertained-, let alone carried forward into action.”
*with the faintest hint of “Librarian In Shushing Mode”*
Gentlemen, let’s keep this civil.
*adds, a little wearily*
We go where we’re assigned, all of us. And yes, it would have been better if that weapon had never been contemplated, let alone developed. Sometimes I wonder whether they surgically remove people’s common sense before they let them into R&D…
