Okay, so who was the fucking baby?

[Private to Uhura]

I'm going to the fucking pub. I'm getting a bottle of whiskey.

You're not stopping me. You just are fucking not. Neither is this goddamn barge.

[Private to West]Who the fuck was that fucker in your place? Because I ought to punch the bastard

He was one of my soldiers. You don't need to punch him, because he's quite dead.

Agreed.

Private

[christ_onabike]

He's a twat. Just so you know. And I don't care if you liked the fucker, he still is.

Good. Best thing to do as it's not your fuckin' fault.

Private

[major_west]

Perhaps. But he was just a boy. All of them were.

Right, then. Let's just pretend it never happened. That's about all we can do with most floods.

Private

[christ_onabike]

Doesn't stop him being a fucking wanker.

Anyway, I'm not going to saything else. Because I'd rather none of this fucking happened. Are all the floods as fucked up as this? Really?

Private

[major_west]

Some are worse. The worst for me was this one where we woke up in the bodies of people we'd... wronged. It wasn't like this, where they popped up in place of us. It was more like... you were you, but trapped inside of somebody else. After a time, you became more and more like them, until there wasn't any distinction between the two.

The entire situation was well fucked.

Private

[christ_onabike]

...that sounds fuckin' awful. Genuinely fucking awful. Like to prove a fuckin' point, do they? I mean, what if they'd wronged you too?

Well fucked is the best description I think there is.

Private

[major_west]

I still believe it was deliberate. I don't buy these floods as accidental.

Well, course it was. This fuckin' admiral's locked us up in space, of course he's got it in for us.
