Honestly.

Thought we were done, but I guess not.
Now what?

HI SORRY THIS IS LATE

[spaceracist]

Now what?

Come on, Rookie, you say that like we ain't got a room waitin' for you back at base.

FASHIONABLY LATE

[whistlesatengineers]

Don't doubt that you do, sir. Looks like you could use the backup, too.

I leave and everything goes crazy.

[spaceracist]

You know it. It's just down to me and Six and O'Brien now.

[He snorts lightly.]

Course, no guarantee you'd be comin' back here.

[whistlesatengineers]

Ouch. Sounds like you need more help than I thought.

[He snorts himself, shrugging one shoulder.]

Maybe not. I'd hate to end up somewhere else, though.

[spaceracist]

You know we can always use another good man, Rookie.

[Emile nods.]

Much as this place is pretty low-key most of the time, you could end up at some damn magical castle or God only knows what else.

[whistlesatengineers]

I'd be happy to be that man, Emile.

[Rookie shudders dramatically.]

Definitely wouldn't want to end up in some castle. Seem a little too drafty.

[spaceracist]

[Have a light shoulder-punch of friendship.]

Castle, or--maybe that sex island place. Definitely worse than the station. Lot of weird worlds out there, you know.

[whistlesatengineers]

Ugh, don't I know it. I'd rather be with people I know. Even if they're crazy.

[Light shoulder-punch of friendship back.]

[spaceracist]

Think that mostly means us.

Course, you never know. Could be they want to send you somewhere else, no matter what you want.

[whistlesatengineers]

So I've noticed. But like you said, you never know. Could be they want to send me back where I was.

[spaceracist]

...Hell, I'd like that. If you don't mind all the crazy AI and aliens and--we got all kinds of "superheroes" now, too.

[Can you hear the airquotes? He's maybe a little jealous.]
