Universe

"We don't belong there."

"So?"

"These aren't the right people."

"It doesn't matter now. Deal with it."

"Sir, I'm trying. It's not easy."

"It never is. How do you think I got here?"

"I understand sir, the odds were against you."

"Our situation was hopeless. It wasn't all me, but I kept pushing through it all with everyone else. Look what happened."

"It is remarkable."

"Indeed it is Colonel. There is no perfect situation, it only gets worse. We'll do what we can to help, but you're on your own."

"Thank you sir. I'll see you in a few weeks."

"Let's hope you last that long. You have permission to depart, good luck, and Godspeed."

"Yes sir!"

At this point I really don't care, I hate the show nowadays and I'm sort of sad about how hyped up I was...

Reogan said...

Life is fun, innit?

Met said...

Indeed...

Reogan said...

Again with the ellipsis?

Met said...

I trail off...

Reogan said...

And that necessitates an ellipsis?

Met said...

In my mind, yes. What should I show to represent that instead?

Reogan said...

Anything but.

Met said...

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.
