[S'up, Barge. Guess who's awake. He's been going over what he missed but will tactfully refrain from commenting on any of it. It's his anniversary, after all, if a few days late.]

A year and five days.

[He sounds oh-so-pleased about this.]

Should I consider myself a veteran?

[Dry.]

Comments

[major_west]

That depends: has the Admiral turned you into a woman yet?

[terminates]

[He sounds vaguely amused.]

Not yet.

[major_west]

That's when I would call you a veteran. Barring that, any other... extreme bodily modification.

[terminates]

Flood or Barge-related ones only, I take it. Or do inmate-induced incidents count?

[major_west]

Traditionally, I'd say Barge-related only. But now you have me curious.

[terminates]

One inmate tried to take over the Barge by simultaneously modifying others' minds and powers.

I've heard some talk about turning people into animals while others have been possessed by gods.

Take your pick.
