indirect

there is a new hire today. inevitably introductions and small talk ensues. due to her ethnic background and upbrinding, the topic of marriage is important. the fact that she did ask everyone about it is a testament itself.

yay

if she only knew but a glipse of what has happened, maybe she wouldn't be so eager to ask
if she only understood the plight of a sheepdog, maybe she wouldn't be confused of the current predicament
if she only knew the history, she would know the present

fault her? no. this is not her fault at all. it is perfectly natural topic of conversation.
like with any other daily occurences, it's more salt to wound. doesn't matter if it's client records or DCRs to observations or conversations, Walkabout's turbo lasers are constant and daily.

Today, they did more than take down the shields.

and with all the fall outs - it didn't help one bit at all. Not a damn bit.

Status: Shields down, Hull 34%, Engines 15% holding position.
