MI:JM24-003; [Video] (Backdated to a day or two after the port)

[aye_cun_finally]

[Someone's death tolling, in the infirmary. He assumes he was carried back after some horrific injuries incurred in a fight/deathmatch in port, not that he died. It's a logical assumption, right? His words are pained and laboured.]

Are all our vacation spots so balmy? Who brought me back here?

[OoC: He spent time with both Parkers until

Bug assumption made with permission!

[majorum_pride]

So the ship does return you to life.

The Admiral presumably. The insects would not have been as sympathetic with their meal.

[aye_cun_finally]

Return me to life? [Sceptical eyebrow.] I didn't lose the fight that poorly.

[majorum_pride]

The ant begged to differ. [He wonders how someone can't remember dying. That's unnerving.]

Is it as uncomfortable as I've been informed?

[aye_cun_finally]

I'm not about to throw a party.

[lost_undercover]

How you doing, guy? Name's Bill, by the way.

[aye_cun_finally]

Oh, it isn't anything a few Advil won't fix.

[Read: miserable.]

Did you have as comfortable a journey?

[lost_undercover]

I was a little worse for the wear before port and decided not to go, but I'm recovering.

You need anything?

[He's a bit suspicious, though he gathers that this is the Bill with the Doctor's seal of approval, since he was sought out and all.]

Very fortuitous. And no, I don't think that I do.

[Very pained moan. James plans to not make a habit of dying.]

Unless you know how to make this go away.

[timesbureaucrat]

You got lucky. The last three ports were all unbearably pedestrian versions of early 21st century Earth.

[Although the Christmas port in Germany had a few high points.]

[aye_cun_finally]

Lucky? You have an odd definition of lucky. I'd prefer pedestrian over death.

[timesbureaucrat]

Well, dying was your own fault for being either careless or inattentive. [Narvin. Not a spokesperson for the virtue of empathy.]

At least this port gave us an opportunity to do something a little more interesting than shopping. [Yes, Narvin liked the nuclear wasteland port. But only because it gave him practical problems with simple solutions to focus on and because he thinks that watching Kay shoot things is hot.]

[stopthat_destro]

Balmy?

[aye_cun_finally]

[He'd roll his eyes if his body wasn't conspiring against him in every way.]

Sarcasm, Doctor.
