"Sorta like a chain gang, right?" Lilith continued, talking absentmindedly. Anything to get her mind off of where she actually was, and what she was actually doing. Mindless banter was better than discussing what had just happened. At least, for the moment.

I am become Death, Destroyer of Miniputts."Your first tour of duty?", Reechard snickered, "Ah, I remember when the Feds first interrogated me. I still have the scars, if you're curious. Eventually, it gets to be a second home, you know? An abusive one but home all the same."

The Centauri laughed, "You are something else. Chreest, you believed me? Didn't you? You're going to be around a few days and we'll trade you for a couple Knights and you'll be out. All you've got to worry about is shitty food and lukewarm tea. And you're army personel, those should be second nature by now."

"It's not an order. It's a request. Sorry... pilots are really... superstitious about offering to buy drinks 'if we make it back'. When you say that... things just happen to have a tendency to go wrong, especially for the person who said it..." Kiera was shivering inside her frame.
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve."If I had anything to leave you, I would. All I've got is my frame, and I'm leaving that to Calvin. After seeing how protective he is of his, I'm certain he'd look after mine well."

"Hey, if there's one thing being a pilot taught me, it's that your flight is your family: You don't choose them, but they'll be there when no one else is."
