-“It's OK, Loke... I'm neither mad at you, nor at Ms. Long. I understand how it is to have conflicts with you fellow team-mates, and that's why it's painful to watch you argue... Carrying those negative feelings into the battlefield can lead to disaster.”
...Celeste said, while looking remarkably distressed, as if she had experienced something like that in the past. Still, trying to look more calm, she looked towards Loke...
-“...By the way, I'm not offended by you calling me Ipso! I don't know what it means, but coming from you it must be something nice... People have called me worse in the past, so having a nickname doesn't bother me at all!”
...Then, while bearing a faint smile, she said...
-“Now, if it doesn't bother you, there are two things I want to ask you: One, could you please open the door, it seems there's a guest waiting behind it. And two, after you do it, I'd like you to come closer to me.”
After Dr. Destiny hung up the phone, Gjallahorn quickly readied himself to go to the nearest test chamber. He didn't brought a lot of things along with him, only a gym-bag with some personal effects, and a weary trench-coat he usually wore while not clad in the special uniform they assigned to him for missions in the over-world.
With haste and precision, he made his made his way towards the reunion point, where a guard looked to him, clearly intimidated by the stature and bulk of the giant man. After he opened the door to the special chamber, he stoically uttered to the guard...
-“Inform Destiny. I'm ready.”
"It's better to burn out... THAN TO FADE AWAY!"-“Sweet-heart?”
Celeste repeated after listening to Loke's response, looking clearly embarrassed. However, the real significance behind the word was lost to her. At that moment, she thought Loke was just using it as a way to extol her gentle nature...
-“That's... That's a really nice nickname. No one has ever called me like that... I feel honored to hear you see me that way, Loke... I like that one better than 'Monster Slayer', which is what people back at Gene-Sys usually call me...”
After Loke opened the door, Celeste saw Jack clad in his ceremonial uniform, looking particularly regal and proper. Her eyes sparkled with joy once again...
-“Jack! It's good to see you again!”
"It's better to burn out... THAN TO FADE AWAY!"Her left hand clenching at Celly's reason, Faith exhales. "Funerals are wrong... They're a perversity, a mockery of the dead... Burying the bodies of your heroes in the ground, burning their corpses, locking them away like objects... That's the ultimate sign of disrespect. They should be honored and never forgotten. Funerals... Its the final death, telling people they should shed fake tears for someone none of them even care about."
Faith's eyes perking up when she heard Loke say Ispo meant Sweetheart, Faith looked over her more closely as she thought. "She couldn't of been here for more than a day since she was nowhere around when the three Eldritichians attacked... She thinks she's friends with Celly and has the right to give her a nickname... Came in here to tell her something, and the nickname means Sweetheart... She's a lesbian that thinks she's in love? The thing has to be important if she didn't just say it out loud so I could hear it. Hmm..."
Taking off her Kyubey ears and setting it on Celly's bed, Faith readjusts her white wig before taking some sort of offensive/defensive stance. "Loke Kinipela, are you a lesbian!?"
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass.""Yes. I am. I prefer Girls to boys. Is there an issue?" She looked Faith up and down tracing her scars...This was...awkward. "And what's with the stance?" She frowned. Great. They were using that stereotype. "No. I'm not going to rape you. Alright Wahine?"

Good to be backNatalya cocks her head to one side and looks at him curiously
"Ty ..... Amerikanskiy ....?"
You're.....American....?
She narrows her eyes and spits on the area of floor closest to his feet.
"Yeblya amerikantsev. Oni ne mogut byt' obespokoyeny, chtoby uznat' lyubom drugom yazyke, krome angliyskogo. Ty nikogda ne grebanyy govorit' so mnoy ili podkhodi ko mne, amerikanskiye svin'i. You understand, yes?"
Fucking Americans. They can't be bothered to learn any other language besides English. Don't you ever fucking speak to me or come near me, American pig.

Natalya just sneered at him and walked off to find her room. After walking through the halls, she spotted a sign that indicated the pilots' rooms were in this direction and headed in the direction the sign indicated. When she was almost there, she heard a man speak to two unknown people and decided to go check this scenario out.

-“No, not at all! It's always good to see you, Jack! We were just hav-”
...However, just as Celeste was about to finish her statement, she heard Faith's exclamation, closely followed by Loke's response. It was something that she wasn't expecting, that's for sure... And also something that made her think for herself...
-“Why would Ms. Long ask such a personal question? Does she have one of those 'gaydar'-things people talk about? All those things related to sexuality and romance are really confusing to me, I doubt I'll ever understand them... I guess, that's why I am the way I am... But, whatever might be the case...”
...Then, momentarily shifting her attention back to Loke, she said with a tone of kindness...
-“I don't mind it at all, Loke! True love doesn't have anything to do with gender, and judging people just because they like girls or boys, is stupid... People who treat others like 'freaks', just because they don't match their standard of 'normality' are truly despicable.”
...She paused for a brief moment, clearly remembering something painful from her past, before speaking again...
-“...In any case, you still need to fulfill my second petition: I need you to come closer to me.”
After making his way through the base's aisles, all the way to Katherina's quarters, Vaughn stood still in front of her door, with her phone in hand, and looking clearly nervous, while he thought for himself...
-“Should I really be doing this? What if she's already at the funeral? Or, worse, what if she's busy doing something there, and I'm just rudely interrupting her? Argh... I've never been good dealing with girls, not even with all the tips and advice that Sarah has shared with me.”
...He was a about to retire, when he interrupted himself...
-“So, that's it?! Are you gonna give up without having fought a single battle?! Nothing in this life worth having ever comes without effort! You should already know that, Vaughn! So, if you want to have any hopes with that girl, you'll have to stop being so insecure, and get your act together, man!”
So, he did a 180 degree turn, and knocked to Katherina's door, while assuming a more confident stance...
"It's better to burn out... THAN TO FADE AWAY!"Loke smiled at Celeste, she fell deeper in love with her almost everytime she opened her mouth it seemed, "It's fine Ipso. I wasn't mad at you." She looked at Faith, up and down. "Will you get out of that stupid stance?"
At Ipso's next comment, she turned. "Wait, you want me to come closer?"

Good to be backCeleste said to Loke, while looking slightly embarrassed, but with a smile on her face...
-“...Well, if you're OK with it, of course. Don't worry, I won't bite you!”
...She said, while making a slightly morbid reference to yesterday's incident involving Leo... Thinking about it, she realized it was kind of bad taste, specially with Jack nearby, who actually with witnessed the violent event. Even more embarrassed than before, she continued...
-“...I apologize, cannibalism jokes aren't funny. B-But, I'd really appreciate if you could do so. I know it's a silly petition, but I can't get up right now... Not without the risk of the nurses scolding me again.”

"It's better to burn out... THAN TO FADE AWAY!"Her eyes narrowing as Loke went over to Celly, Faith moved to block the two of them. "First off, I don't give a shit about you Puttana but Celly is my friend. So don't get your fluids on her, I don't care if she thinks you're a freaking saint. You are an unknown person and none of us knows how you behave. So I much rather you not rape Celly, got it? If its so important she can share it with all of us." "Besides, rape is technically the act of a man forcibly having intercourse with a woman and more generically any form of undesired intercourse. Sex is truly the act of a man and woman, so it wouldn't be rape between those of the same biological sex."
Looking back to Celly, Faith smiles a little devious grin and speaks "Sides, I never thought she was a lesbian. I really just said that to see if she was, so she could of easily lied and I wouldn't have even known. Really, I just didn't want her hurting or taking advantage of you."
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Loke flinched, unsure of what to say, she was physically shaking with rage, she looked down at her barefeet, still quivering with rage. Her voice was a near-animalistic growl. "Celeste asked me to talk to her, alright? And I am not-NOT going to rape Ipso, are we clear?." She shoved forefully past Faith walking over to Celeste.

Good to be backDan quietly walked around the command room talking to Alex and Simon as Summer and Sarah kept on talking.
"So how long till the funeral?" Dan asks.
"Not too long. Anything you need?" Simon replied.
"Do any of you have a lighter?" Dan asks, chuckling.
"To set the comic on fire with? Umm none of us smoke." Alex points out.
"Hmm I'll find one later." Dan remarks.

"Kovacs, Kovacs is a different man. He overloaded his mechs power core to take out a horde of eddy's, claims his mask is his new face. Don't ask to see what's underneath, its not pretty."
The flesh is weak!
