Don't think he's trying to do it up like the cops, bro. Clearly he's got better shit going on that that.

Having a good time there, checking out his crotch?

Jack, you shouldn't have to do that. Not that I don't appreciate the offer— But I'll... I'll talk to him.

[chuckles] Thanks. It seems like they are, no complaints currently.

Which can be fleeting.

The datanet pages? I'll show you where to find them. You were going to suggest some edits, weren't you?

Let me know when your first trip's scheduled. I'll come along for moral support, if it doesn't clash with anything critical in astrogation. And you really should be awake in L-space every time we go through now. Your mind won't adjust if you do it infrequently, and you're already pushing the upper age range. The first few times are going to be rough, but just get through it, and then you'll have no problems. Ask Levannen. She went through it all not long ago.

That is to say you don't have to. She did, as an apprentice, but you needn't go through it if you don't want to. You can sleep through it every time, nobody will mind. Staying up through L-space just occasionally, though? That's tormenting yourself. You won't adjust properly, and you might increase your risk of serious space sickness.

The US Spaceforce is a military branch founded by the United States of America in 2019. It's the eight and youngest branch of the US military. Our objective is to secure US interest in space. This includes orbital threats, colonial security and alien hostiles.

I'm Lieutenant Chuck E. Bailey. Pleasure meeting you, lieutenant.

...Why would I have a good time looking at someone's crotch?

But if I ask him and he says no, then you don't have to ask him and make things awkward. It's a great plan!

How old are they?

Cause that's what you focused on. Twice.

What are you, a member of the Incredibles?

I didn't? I haven't met the guy. I've just read about him. [In comics, but he'll keep that to himself.]

…Yes, you’re right.

I don’t think I’ll ever truly overcome the pain of losing my entire family, home and people. It’s an ache I will burden for the rest of my life.

But I can no longer let it consume me. While I will never forget those lost, I’ve granted myself permission to move forward.

It's not that it's a bad plan... [ it's just he would be completely pathetic asking his own kid to ask his not!husband if he wants to marry him. or if he's interested in marriage.

but who is he kidding, really? ~~god~~ someone help him. ] What do you... plan on asking him, exactly?
