Oliver: -to Tarbak- Well, apparently I found a flash drive.

I put it in, and it showed me more... memories, I've gotta call them. No other word.

Apparently the ship I was serving on was attacked, and I ran and hid. I was a reservist - I served with the expectation that if I was attacked, I would grab a rifle and defend.

And I didn't.


Six: When people say the first one's the hardest they mostly mean the thinking you do after. The psychological toll of ending somebody else as smart as you are. With a gun, it's simple - point at your target, pull the trigger. Two actions.

Humans are squishy sacks of meat. Bullets and us don't get along very well. There's a lot of variables, but at the end of the day, all it takes is one bullet in the right place, and it's lights out forever.

So if somebody's angry at you, and they pull a gun, they don't have to get close and throw themselves into a swing. They can focus all of their anger into a single trigger pull and lash out with ease as extreme as the aftereffects.

When that's what you're facing down, there's not many viable solutions.

Asagi: What the heck are you looking for in a relationship? Cause if you want to get your rocks off, you could ask Azzie for it.

Oliver: Yeah.

And then I got so damn angry when I learned the boarders were going to kill off everyone in the sickbays.

So I massacred them all.

I... I feel incredibly numb. I don't know how to deal with this.

Oliver: I got reassigned to a combat role in lieu of any further punishment, specifically because of how many lives I saved when I nutted up.

Asagi: Dude, I'm being serious. If you're looking for romance, you gotta know what you want, like really want more than anything in the world, and then go for it. I'm not giving you shit just to give you shit, yo.

@Six: I see. I suppose in that sense, you are right. It's the thinking afterwards that's the hardest. I still can't comprehend the act of taking another being's life. It's like something I can't mentally process, even if I'm capable of the act. I guess you and I are like Kopaka and Tahu of my world. Tahu is emotional, passionate, and loyal to his ideals. Kopaka, as far as I can tell, is cold, calculating, and logical, with a hint of snark for good measure. He doesn't seem to have many lines he won't cross, but I've never quite seen him have to go all out. The funny thing is, I'm Tahu and you're Kopaka in this case. I never thought I'd be the one more emotional in this case.

Six: Such is life.

I won't press you to do it. If you don't feel like you can take another life, that's your prerogative.

Tarbak: And they didn't think of making you have a detour by the psychologist, did they.


Quartz: Well, where should start, then?

Oliver: Dereliction of duty. They weren't interested in remediation, not during a war.
