So we're back to this nonsense again? I thought we were done with all of that, what with you moving on to others to torment and my story having been finished for a while now. There's nothing more to explore with me, though of course that has never stopped you in the past. I have no idea what you have planned for me, but I'm sure it will be far more interesting than being frozen in a stasis pod for three years.

At the very least, get everything else you need to get done finished before we start this. Wouldn't want to get you in trouble. From my experience, that could end up being a bit dangerous.

My mun is still upset with how the show ended. The storyline could have gone at least another few seasons....

[How's that for an awkward hello]

Our stories being done never seems to stop them. Instead...I think it does the opposite and encourages them.

[Sigh.] Of course it does. It can never be as simple as our stories ending to have them lose interest in us.

Especially when they aren't happy with the ending. I know my mun hates the ending I got, though I got to go home so I suppose it wasn't that bad.

I guess being in a stasis pod for three years counts as a bad ending though, huh?

The problem isn't so much with the ending, but how everything led up to it. Cliffhangers aren't fun, but they are quite useful for when someone wants to write how they believe things would continue.

Only if you don't wake up. Rumour has it that it might possibly be ten instead. Your ending was far less satisfying than my own. No comment at all after a mention of the Ori taking over your planet. From what I know, I would think you're disliked more than everyone on my ship is.

True, I suppose.

I know. It's a little unsettling to see how little care for you are, by your series and by it's fans. I didn't think I was that bad but...I guess I can't blame them for liking Dr. Jackson better though.

[Still feels second rate, thanks Colonel and canon]

I think you overestimate their fear responses to mere "trouble".

Now that depends on the kind of trouble that's being implied.

Without outright stating the kind, doesn't that just mean they can come up with their own sort?

That's the point. It's no good giving them something specific when it's easier to let their mind go wild and allow them to panic due to their own imagination.

You really think that would give proper motivation?

I do because it's worked before.

I don't really understand, but consider the wisdom imparted. How often do you figure that it works?

That all depends on the person doing the vague threatening. In my case, it tends to work more often than not.

And what would you say makes the difference?

... don't tell me.

I won't. Hello, Sefton.

...You've grown. [What why are you taller than me now magnet.]

[ Congrats, Rush, you're one of the few people in Sefton's life who can intimidate him like his own father can. Note how he curls his arms up around himself and his shoulders hunch just a bit more. ]

Nine inches. [ Genetics! :D ]

[Only Rush has gotten past the whole hitting with books and shoving Sefton into a giant robot phase in their weird not friendship thing.]

I didn't mean just in height, even though that is the obvious. How old are you now, early twenties? [Curse you, genetics.]

[ It's a hard thing to get over when you're on the other side. ]

Mid. Twenty-six. S'... been a long eleven years.

[Which is why he's not going to push boundaries. He knows better.]

...You're around Eli's age now. I can only imagine how long those years have been for you, considering everything that happened to you in the city. [Translation: You are a trouble magnet, no pun intended.]

Hard to say which I'd prefer more now that I know both. [ He shrugs. That's saying something. ] Different kinds 'f hard, I guess.

Hardly surprising, really.

It would be less of a surprise if it happened earlier.

Too true. Of course, their recent rediscovery of the DVDs likely prompted this.

That is the most likely reason for it, yes.

You seem almost content.

Content wouldn't be how I would describe it, Colonel. [What are you doing here, Telford :| ]

Really. It's funny, I don't recall you being so willing to compromise.

[What this is an open nexus. :|]

Guess it's to your advantage in the long run.

This might surprise you, but I don't deal with everyone like I do with you or Colonel Young.

[No it's not. Didn't you see the 'no Telfords allowed' sign? I thought it was obvious. :| ]

Well, the place where I will be ending up isn't nearly as bad as the last one. For one, you're not there.

[Scrawly handwriting is unacceptable and will be ignored.]

I bet you enjoy that one. Leaves me to hope the people there see through you before you wreck the entire place.

[Fuck you, it was all typed up neatly and printed out, so there's no excuse.]

I am capable of many things, but I don't believe wrecking the multiverse is one of them.

[Oh well. Then I guess I just didn't give a fuck.]

Don't give me that crap. It's not like different universes or timelines have stopped you before, now, is it.

[And this is why nobody likes you, Telford.]

I believe you're talking more about yourself than me now.

[Yes, I will weep a single tear over that while I meditate myself to sleep tonight.]

I think you're just mad there's still someone you haven't convinced of your plans that are actually lunacy.

[Still bitter about Young supporting your ~~STUPID STUPID~~ little speech? Why yes. Yes, he is. He will always be. Because you are all INSANE did he mention that lately. You batshit insane idiots.]

[David Telford, forever alone. Except when you steal your best friend's wife.]

It sounds more like you're mad about there being people who would willingly stay aboard the ship to complete Destiny's mission. Like Colonel Young. Of course, there has to be a reason why you weren't the first person they chose to lead the mission.

[By bitter, you mean totally jealous of Rush somehow convincing people to stay for the sake of science.]

[Oh, is it time for the low blows already? At least she didn't go all yandere on my ass.]

And are we disregarding the fact that you stranded those people there against their will, Rush? Think your little speech and some propaganda undoes that? Don't think I haven't realized that the only reason you're trying to rope them in is because you know you'd never get a second shot at this.

[Oh you don't get to talk about my yandere girlfriend, since it's your fault she ended up dead and in the ship.]

I'm not disregarding anything, only realizing that it is better to not dwell upon past mistakes and move on so that I don't make more. If there was a chance to get a proper team on board to help with running the ship while getting the others off without danger to ourselves or the ship, then I wouldn't do anything to stop it.

[Besides make sure that nobody can toss him off the ship because yeah no, he's so not going back to Earth after all of this.]

It's been a while.

It has been. I imagine you're still getting yourself into trouble.

I've managed.

So what have you destroyed now?

Nothing!

Now that I don't believe.

I haven't done anything!
