You think I don’t notice, but I do. I’m not ignorant. I’m not blind or stupid. I see the way people whisper, and I see the way eyes look at me, at my suit. Back on Gaia, it meant something. Back on Gaia, it was feared. And trust me when I say that there was a reason that on the rare occasions we actually allowed someone to see us in a crowd, they ( Read more... )

None of this is your fault.

And you do not deserve public condemnation. You are not a disgraceful "poster child." You are a Turk: an intelligent, competent, superior Turk.

Don't forget that.

Sir, I have made mistakes since I have been here, and I am woman enough to admit them. But for some reason, people like to think that Turks = Elena, and for that, I needed to remind people what it is we do, and what it is we stand for.

I do feel shame for the past, but I strive to make it better. And I will continue to strive, even if I become some semblance of an ideal Turk, because this job is everything to me and I want everyone to be as proud of me as I am of them.

But, I do appreciate your words. Especially... especially since they come from you.

Glad to see that your spirits are still so high. You'll need it as time goes on. Ignore that. It wasn't supposed to mean a thing.

Re: Private//Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 16 2008, 11:31:25 UTC

There was a small period of time where they weren't, and I'm ashamed for that. But I'm back. Completely. And it feels right.

...Why would I... What are you getting at, sir?

Always keep yourself happy; it helps our team's morale.

And... nothing. It was.. just... nothing. A misplaced joke...

Re: Private//Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 16 2008, 11:35:25 UTC

I will, sir. From here on out. I promise!

...You insult my intelligence, but I know you, and you'll tell me when you're ready.

Re: Private//Unhackable thehalcyon March 16 2008, 11:43:33 UTC

My apologies. I was trying to do no such thing. And you're right. That's exactly what I will do.

Re: Private//Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 16 2008, 11:44:42 UTC

And I will wait patiently, sir, as I always do for you. I trust in you and your decisions, completely.
