[IT'S THE TIME OF YEAR TO THINK OF FAMILY, RIGHT?? Scott had found something in his pocket earleir that he'd apparently taken with him upon arriving here. He decided to show all of Sacrosanct, assuming they'd, you know, actually care. In the video now, he's just sitting on his barrack's bed, his tactical vest off so you can see his undershirt and

No, and no thanks -- to humor your curiosity.

[Pause.]

You miss your kid?

I understand. Having kids is tough.

[Not that he would know, exactly.]

Well, yeah. I do. Don't you miss someone, being here?

I'll take your word for it. I'd probably make a fucking awful parent, anyway.

[Taking care of people is one thing, but kids...

[Well, he's never entertained the thought. Probably because he's too concerned that he'd only wind up doing what his own dad did to him.]

Sort of. Just one person. That's all I really had, not that it matters now.

[Gasp! Did Scott just hear somebody giving up? In that case, Scott's going to bring his bracelet's HUD close to his face so it looks like he just got a tight close up.]

Listen to me, I know it's rough here. I almost feel like forgetting about the only one on that stupid ship because I think we'll never see each other again. But there's always a silver lining, buddy.

[Raimi kind of... leans back from the video screen. Hello there, Close Up And Personal.]

Uhh...

[Just nod and agree. He's not feeling particularly partial to arguing with anyone's pep talk.]

[Then Scott's like, whoops, a little much, so he takes the bracelet farther away from him.]

All right.

[...awkward, yes.]

You done, or is there anything else you'd care to add to that silver lining?

[cloverdaleboy]

Haha, no. Sorry. I just...it's important to never forget your past. Or the people in them. Even if it hurts.

[Shrugs. He promises not to scare off Raimi.]

[fuckinghubble]

I couldn't forget even if I tried.

[Worry not, he isn't spooked. Skeptical, maybe, but not spooked.]
