Of course.

And it will. Eventually. We all end up leveling out sooner or later.

[Well, once you hit the bottom,you do kind of level out, right?]

I hope you're right.

[Really hadn't planned on living that long. But North...]

It'll be okay. Eventually. Everything's okay eventually.

But until then? Call me to bitch if you need to.

It kind of has to be. [Because hey, life's a bitch and then you die, right?]

Okay. I will. [Don't worry, York. She's not a complainer. She's not going to bother you with her petty bullshit.]

Seriously. Everyone needs their 'bitch about the world' buddy. It's my turn to do that for someone.

That's really nice of you. It really is. But I also know all you Immune have it way tougher than me so I'd feel like an asshole to complain even more.

Dude, I didn't get dropped off a building and land on my spine. To me? You can complain. I mean shit, I'm glad to be breathing. Helping you out is just what friends do.

[Can't say I am, sometimes.

No, can't say that. She doesn't want to just vanish. If she's going out, it's on her own terms.]

That's a good attitude I have.

Should probably try to feel that way myself.

It's harder than it looks. I have trouble but then that's why I have the doc and a support network- when I'm not being an idiot and I and isolating myself deliberately. Some people cope better on their own. I am not one of them.

I miss my platoon.

You can't call them to check in on them?

It's just kind of weird. Dunno why they'd want to talk to a wash out. And they have better things to do. They need to focus on the mission. That's more important.

Keeping up with a commander, a good commander, one that got a raw deal because she survived something that killed her, is something I think they'd wanna do. Send 'em a a text or something. Let them be the judge of how they spend their time.

If you think that wouldn't be a distraction from the mission.

Actually York maybe you can explain something to me because I don't really want to ask North about it because I think it's hard for him to talk about. But North told me that Maine killed him. And I asked Maine about it and Maine was really confused and so he didn't and why would he. I don't think Maine would do something like that though now I know there was some really fucked up shit going on to. So do you know what the deal is?

...okay what I know of this is all from another source on account of my being dead at the time. But North was traveling with South, keeping her and Theta safe; The Meta- not maine.

Maine hadn't been maine for a long time when this happened. He was Maine up till a little while after the point where he gets here. In his mind he's in the middle of the mission right before his throat gets shot out.

Mission end- his throat gets shot out. He can't talk anymore. Carolina gives up her AI, Sigma, so he can talk for Maine and maine can communicate. Sigma was...ambition. creativity. He wanted to be metastable which means he basically wanted to cannibalize the rest of the AI fragments- theta, Delta, Epsilon, etc, to become a whole stable entity. His first victim was Maine. He sort of- brain fucked Maine into compliance and conned him into attacking the rest of us.

This is all after when maine's from. After I get shot The Meta, in an unrelated incident, corners North and South. South leaves North to die. The meta kills North and takes Theta.

It's not Maine. Maine was always kind of a dick about things but he wouldn't kill his friends over nothing.

[Long pause as she processes this.]

No. No one is doing that shit to one of my soldiers.

No.

[She's forgotten for the moment that he's not one of her soldiers any more because she's mustered out.]

It happens. It has happened. It will happen.

I'm sorry. None of us saw it coming- well. maybe one guy did but fuck that guy.

Edited 2014-12-21 09:05 (UTC)

Maine is here, not there. It stops. I'm not gonna let that happen to him. He's my soldier.

If he goes back- it happens. Throat shot out, Sigma, Everything.

If he stays here? It doesn't. Honestly there are a lot of us I'd rather have stay here.

Then he stays here. He does not deserve to have that happen to him. He is better than that.

If you can keep him through sheer force of will? We'd all be happier. He doesn't need to be where he is.

I'll do what I have to. I never let them take one of my soldiers even if it meant they got me instead.

...Compliance?

Yeah

Jesus.
