So this makes the fifth time I've almost died of dehydration or frozen to death. If I was more superstitious, I'd think the universe was tryin' to tell me something.

... Back during our first year out on Enterprise, me and our tactical officer were investigating an asteroid field out in one of our shuttlepods. We lost sensors and communications

Might wanna start double checking some of those life choices if you've almost died the same way five times. Hell, twice would be enough to make me not wanna be in that situation again.

I've almost died by bein' shot at more than five times. And after the first time, the rest of 'em were pretty unavoidable.

[notiaraincluded]

I hate to say it, but being shot at is pretty 'everyday' compared to freezing to death.

[inhistorybooks]

That's actually only happened once. I got heatstroke durin' survival training in the Outback, again when we got kinda caught in the crossfire of some rebels tryin' to stick it to their planet's central government, one time durin' a port here where we were stuck in a nuclear wasteland, and last weekend. I didn't go into any of 'em anticipating things were gonna go as horribly wrong as they did.

[notiaraincluded]

Damn...yeah, you're definitely lacking in the luck department.

[inhistorybooks]

I'm still alive, aren't I?

[notiaraincluded]

Hah, good point.

[inhistorybooks]

Still have the greatest job in the universe.

[notiaraincluded]

Sounds like it.

I've been a lot more careful about goin' on away missions on certain kinds of planets, but otherwise, wouldn't change it.
