deusexmechanic[Harper tries really, really hard to come up with something re-assuring, or funny, or useful to say, but... he's drawing a blank right now.
PORT SUCKED. Finally, he manages to come up with something:]
So... okay, I used to know this guy, and he-- he spent his entire life hungry. I mean like, serious, ravenous hunger, all the time. For him, the only way, to ever satisfy that hunger? Meant that everything and everyone around him would die.
"My pain belongs to the divine, it is like air, it is like water."
I got that off him. That was how he coped.
[He lets out an irritable little sigh.]
It worked for me once. Sorta. Not so much now, but hey, your mileage may vary, right?
[Private to Uhura]
You get back in one piece?
[Private to Rex]
Hey. You in your room?

So, are you gonna let me in, or are we just going to drink these here?

I also plan to speak with Victor and remind him that insults are unnecessary toward your inmate. His condition is unfortunate enough as it is.

I appreciate that, it's probably not something you need to worry too much about? I mean, I think Rex kind of enjoys having someone to constantly argue with, only right now might not be the best time for it.
Also, Rev Bem reference made me super happy.
Date: 2010-08-26 11:00 pm (UTC)[Private]
I will ask him to do so only to defend himself, then. I never understood the need for altercation for entertainment. I hope that I never do.
Haha! I nearly had him say "where there's life there's hope", but LOL BOAT OF THE DEAD!
Date: 2010-08-26 11:22 pm (UTC)Yeah... I guess that place kinda... had a gift for getting inside peoples heads. What'd it throw at you?
[Private]
Thanks, I'll tell Rex not to pick any fights if he can help it. [And he snorts a little at that last bit, sounding amused] Hey, you can't automatically be nice to everyone, some people just require the argumentative approach, or you'd never get anywhere with them!

That is true. It is inevitably a final resort in any of my discussions, but I have a feeling that I will be doing them more frequently in the future.
I also... appreciate having a friend aboard. If I learned anything, I do not want to be ensnared by my past.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-26 11:56 pm (UTC)I'm sorry. I'm glad at least that you could see through them.
[Private]
You mean, having discussions more frequently? Or getting into arguments?
[There's a brief silence in response to that last comment, then Harper sighs.]
I guess... that's something I could use a little work on myself. I like being friends with you too, Data.

Having more arguments. There are many impatient individuals on board.
[He gets a solemn little nod.]
no subject
Date: 2010-08-27 12:14 am (UTC)Uh, you mind if I ask what they were like?
[Private]
[There's a little snort of laughter at that.]
Yeah, you're telling me. Who's been arguing with you?
