*Stares*
I apologize for the interruption. We may proceed.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Alioth: YEAH... HE'S NOT... WHY DO THESE SHUTTLES OFFER DRINKS TO SOLDIERS... AH HUMANS, THEY GO TO WAR PHYSICALLY THEN THEY GO TO WAR AGAINST THEMSELVES... SO MUCH DISORDER AND IMBALANCE IN THIS CREATURES!

Soldier Boy: *Hicks and stumbles forward and clasps one hand in a 'buddy' resting arm around shoulder gesture* Yoooooo... PR-IJMMMM! Th-is ihsss my buddy from a far away land pals! *Gestures to you melodramatically to attract the attention of the disembarking soldiers -- Clearly lost it right now and drunk*

Alioth: *Sighs in frustration*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*Flicks my hand and all alcohol disappears from your system*
Problem resolved.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: You really are here to torture me are you? If i don't stay drunk or high for at least two days after what we just went through, the asylum is my next destination!

Alioth: WELL, MY TIME IS NEARLY UP AS THE TESSERACT IS ABOUT TO STABILIZE AGAIN! BEN! YOU NEED TO TOUGHEN UP, BECAUSE THESE LAST 7 MONTHS FOR YOU WERE JUST THE BEGINNING AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS REAL IS ONLY GOING TO COME CRUMBLING DOWN EVEN HARDER SOON!

*As Alioth says those final words, the blazing incandescent yellow tesseract with the ring of fire and light around it, flickers, faulters, then drops to the ground humming back with that low intensity crimson glow revealing the hypercube through the crystal*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Whatever comes next, we will be able to handle it.
*Stands with unusual rigidity*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

That sort of thing is very popular where I’m from. It really helps us figure out the right path.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Let me see here...

*Grabs the tesseract, hooks it back to my belt, then concentrates on the palm of my hand as it begins to glow with that nuclear fiery glow, then a vorterx of incandescent light starts forming like a bulbous tornado in my palm, and a full bottle of what looks like a green concotion of about 3 liters seems to manifest*

Ah... i do so love this custom concoction of mine! Hemp Whisky! Wanna try? *I open the bottle and chug a massive drink of it*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

If it works, it works. I'm not gonna knock it that hard, but I am gonna say I pass on all that stuff.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

So for you, what is your will for where you go from here?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I dunno. Whatever strikes my fancy. Maybe I’ll check back in at the office, see what’s up with work? But I’ll figure that out when I get there.

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Certainly.
*Takes the bottle awkwardly and downs a large drink of it*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Oh, I meant long-term. What's your future?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Imma work my way up the ranks as high as I can. Eventually maybe I’ll run the show completely, who knows?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*depending on your tolerance, this is both Hemp and alcohol effect... you are high and drunk!*

*I just grin so stupidly and with such satisfaction while we get out back on the port of New Eden*

Attaboy! hahahahaha!

Now first we're gonna go to my flat, i need to change attire then we're gonna take you and your miss through town, because if more hell is gonna come raining down, we need our spirits lifted for a bit!

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Do you ever not get to be violent anymore?

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*Flashes two thumbs up, not hiding the smirk plastered across my face*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Under the influence of hemp and alcohol i also raise a thumb up*

Yyyeeeeeaaaah! TAXI!

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Nah, there’s always some capacity for people with higher capabilities than your average joe to get some action in. That’s why I’m a Captain that you won’t find buried in an office or a base somewhere or something.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

So everyone gets to be rule enforcers, no matter the rank?

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*Immediately falls over flat on my face*
