<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Takes a deep breath*
Even if I had thousands of copies, I still would like to avoid death wherever I can.

<Snipped quote by Blueflame>

*Reaches into a distortion of space and from it emerges a first aid kit*
Are these shadow things going to pop out and try to kill us again?
*Starts bandaging the wound*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Commences atmosphere re-entry procedures* Yeah, but at what point do you become too cautious and at which point that cautiousness turns out to become its own death trap due to stagnancy?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Shade: No we should be alright, umbra only got out cause i was having a hard time getting me barrings
*winces as Kathrine starts bandaging them*
thank you for the help, and i truly am sorry he tried to rope you in

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Long, long after you get to the point of ignoring the emergency alert systems.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Phhhhh AHAHAHAHA How did you even managed to ascend with THIS much fear still in your system is beyond me! *We begin landing protocols*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

'Least I tried.
*Picks up the bag and steps out, briefly waving at the people*
And that much beats rotting away behind bars.

<Snipped quote by Session>

I can’t pretend I know what it was like, but it must have been agony.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Mumbles*
How you’ve managed to survive with this much confidence is more impressive...

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

You learn to keep yourself busy. Negotiate trades. The works.

<Snipped quote by Session>

I hope you get to enjoy your reward, truly.
*As we near the car, I stop and pull out a set of keys attached to a keyring with a couple of odd accessories attached, including a dogtag and a small blue stuffed animal. I pull a key off the ring and hand it to you*
You’ll probably need this.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Exiting the landed ship* You alright there? What are you mumbling about?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yeah, we’d be in pretty hot water if you lost your keys.
*Takes the key and hops in the driver’s seat*
We’d have to hotwire it.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The others who were gathered around it somberly watch you as you walk up and enter, as though they're convinced this is the last time they're going to see you*
This is it, I guess...
*Rubs my arm*
I'll be the one staying in talks with you if you've got a channel open with the General up above. I'm not sure what all I can provide other than maybe directions if there's anywhere you're looking to go.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Now that you mention it, top dog’s been pretty quiet this whole time.
*Fumbles with my earpiece and eventually flicks a switch*
Oh hey. That’d do it.

<Snipped quote by Session>

I haven't checked in in a while either. He might have gotten busy, or maybe he's letting you get the lay of the land first? He's been pretty adamant about time being of the essence so it makes sense he doesn't want to waste any.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Then I guess I’ll get out of here and get doctoring. Good meeting you, Rea.
*Starts the ignition*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Nods and closes the door for you, steps back and waves with a smile that betrays a melancholy I am clearly failing to hide. A closed garage door on the far end of the lot slowly raises itself and lets in the sunlight*
