This has to be the ugliest military base I've ever been to. I knew soldiers were hopeless at pretty much everything, but I didn't think that included decorating.

So. Where's my room?

You have to have been stationed at the weakest military base in modern history if you think this is some sorta base.

[dancemecanique]

I'm usually stationed on a ship, which you would know had you read the colonel's message like I know you were all supposed to. Honestly, what kind of soldier are you?

[shinnanigans]

The ace kind.

We don't even have colonels. Only Naturals need to get shafted into hierarchies like sheep.

[dancemecanique]

As if. You aren't even in uniform.

Ha. I bet you're just saying that because you're a lowly captain or something.

[shinnanigans]

Maybe you just don't recognize the elite uniform. Or you're not on your world anymore. Surprise.

Highest ranking pilot here.

[dancemecanique]

Of course I'm on my world.

Only because I have no ranking.

[shinnanigans]

Bullcrap. You're at Camp Fuck You Die, and if you even think you're higher ranking pilot than me, you come from somewhere else. Everyone does.

Completely autonomous movement? Not a single military higher-up?

[dancemecanique]

That's such a stupid name. So where are we, if we aren't in "my world"?

I only do what Dewey tells me to do, and he runs everything. And he doesn't order, he asks.

[shinnanigans]

Didn't name it; the director die. Louisiana territory, North America, planet-side.

Could say the same here, 'cept I get to tell other people to do things, too.

[dancemecanique]

North America. What planet?

So can I.

[shinnanigans]

Earth.

Yeah, but do you have anyone to order around here?

[dancemecanique]

Earth? Ha. As if.

I expect Dominic will be arriving soon. I'll order him around.

[shinnanigans]

... definitely Earth. Same topography and fauna.

Don't count on it. Most people go months without anyone else showing up.

[dancemecanique]

But that's impossible. We left Earth hundreds of years ago.

He better show up or Dewey's going to kill him.

[shinnanigans]

You did, maybe. This place's a couple centuries before my time, could be couple hundreds for you. Could be a completely different Earth. What's it matter? It's camp. But you go around saying it's not Earth, everone's gonna look at you weird. Weirder.

... yeah, not liking the odds on that one.

[dancemecanique]

No, Kazumi said it's 2006. The same year as my world. And I don't care if they look at me weird. That's their problem.

He'll come. He always does. He's like a puppy that just won't quite following you.
