18 - STUPID INMATE.

[deusexmechanic]

If anyone sees me hauling a corpse to the infirmary, just... don't automatically assume I did it, okay?


[Private to the Admiral]

Bring him back. Just bring him back.

[Annnnnd a bit later.]

He needs to get off this boat for a while. Let me take him back to his home, just for a couple of days, then I'll bring his ass back here and we can get him rehabilitated, or something.

[Maybe ten minutes later, once he's dropped off Rex's corpse. He sounds KINDA DRUNK and REALLY REALLY PISSED.]

You know what? I don't even know why we freakin' allow vampires here! I don't know who the hell rode in saying that everyone else loses it all but they get to keep carrying two razor sharp knives around with them at all times, when they've got a permenant incentive to use them on just anyone. And they do use them. They find a freakin' target and then that person just never stops getting it, ad infinitum they get to walk around for the rest of their life with one eye over their shoulder because we didn't do the right thing and just knock a couple of teeth out before it got to this point.

What, we've got a ship fulla doctors and no one with a freakin' hand file here? Fuck it. Fuck them...

[He mutters something under his breath, like he's not quite finished, but he forces himself to shut up. YEAH, REX DYING LIKE THIS GOT TO HIM.]

You're forgetting the strength and the speed.

You're forgetting the knock out gas (or the vampire equivalent, or whatever.)

And what happens when they wake up, my friend?

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess then they'd bite my neck with their... Oh wait!

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

I expect they grow back. Besides, their strength and speed will come back when they're conscious. I think you should lean toward a more permanent solution.

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

You know, they used to bury vampires with bricks lodged in their mouths, for the precise reason that as far as anyone knows? Those teeth don't grow back.

Besides which, doesn't the barge sap your strength and speed anyway, if you're like, a superman?

[vampish_aleera]

Mine do.

And if you are to take our teeth, then so, too, should you take those of the living.

And their hands.

Only if you're an inmate and only to weaker levels.
