*The soldier looks silently over to another soldier*
Just give it to me straight. How bad is it?

*The soldier looks silently over to another soldier*
<Snipped quote by Session>
Soldier: It’s over.
<Snipped quote by Session>
Soldier: He will be.
*Glances over as two other soldiers bring a stretcher over to load him up and carry him away*
But you need to come with us.
<Snipped quote by Session>
*It has completely disappeared without a trace*
<Snipped quote by Session>
*Points as a small squadron of soldiers take notice of us, and run over to our side. One kneels down, pokes my neck with his finger to inject me with something in it, and then takes the knife out of my neck after a moment as I fall asleep, with the blood loss nearly completely stabilized*
Soldier: Let us take him back to the ship. Proper equipment there.
<Snipped quote by Session>
*He seems to largely be more stable and calm through the trauma, more so than any normal person would be at least*

When calamity strikes, it’s not up to the storm to decide they are. If your intentions are as pure as you wish me to believe they are, then know that truly is admirable. But making this call is never something I consult with the empath in myself over.
<Snipped quote by Session>
And the pain they’d cause the undeserving, should that future come to pass, is something you’d bear on your shoulders as the weight of your own decision?
