to app at ataraxion next month

[inlieuofacolonel]

Can we not get into my "colorful" personnel file? It's got nothing to do with this. And neither does my so-called lack of respect for the chain of command. But you bet your ass if you're fixing to throw me across another dimension, I'm going to do what I have to do. What I think is right.

With that said? Let's do this.

[pitied]

So you complain for no reason then?

[inlieuofacolonel]

Not no reason. It wouldn't be any fun if I just went along with her evil plan without putting up some sort of fight.

[pitied]

Does it change anything though? [No.]

[inlieuofacolonel]

Nah, that's why I'm not protesting too hard. You know what they say about all that protesting stuff.

[pitied]

It doesn't work?

[scottish_healer]

Ye obviously haven't done this kind of dimension jumping before, have you Colonel? You are far too optomistic.

[inlieuofacolonel]

Not optimistic, doc, realistic. If I can handle wraith and hive ships and nanoviruses and... whatever else Pegasus throws my way, I think I can handle a bunch of people in space. It's pretty much the same thing anyway.

[allthezpms]

Could be worse. You could be stuck teaching high school.

[inlieuofacolonel]

Don't tell me... that's what you're doing? Rodney McKay in a room of pubescent monsters? That I've got to see.

[allthezpms]

Oh, no, trying to civilize the little munchkins is LOADS AND LOADS of fun.

[inlieuofacolonel]

[HEH.] Short of slavery, I can't imagine how someone might begin to persuade you to do something like that. You'd sooner eat a whole lemon.

[theguidinghand]

We all do what we think is right, Sheppard. I do not think it will buy you much sympathy on the Tranquility.

[inlieuofacolonel]

I'm not looking for sympathy, Todd. [gosh!!] ...The Tranquility? Why does that sound like a weird hippie cult.

[theguidinghand]

Of course not. You're looking for understanding.

[inlieuofacolonel]

I'm not looking for anything. Except maybe some answers.

[theguidinghand]

Such as?

[Inquiring minds want to know. Especially when a Sheppard in Ataraxion would complicate already-complicated feeding politics.]

GENTLY DOESN'T REMEMBER SHIT ABOUT SGA EXCEPT ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE

[philologist]

I, ah, am afraid that your player will need to do so in order to create what they call applications. Much like an employer may look over your entertainingly sordid past, just with more detail.

GENTLY FORGETS TO REPLY TO THIS@!!!!!!!

[inlieuofacolonel]

Entertaining? Well, I'm glad someone gets a kick out of it. Still, I made it through one "Space Hell" screening, why not this one.

LMAO GENTLY DOESN'T MIND TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!11

[philologist]

I don't know if it is or isn't, only that being entertaining does have some bearing upon your "acceptance," in most "games." [Jesus with all of his fucking air quotes. You can mentally picture them.] On the bright side, the people you're in said game with won't be aware of your past.

My application has a lot of hat-talk in it.

well good c:

[inlieuofacolonel]

Is that some sort of code?

yes we're amazing (gently)

[philologist]

I wore a lot of hats. My player thinks they were nerdy or... or something, but they aren't. [Yes, they are.]

[hexappeal]

If only other people saw it that way. Most people just see not following protocol as reckless, even if at the time you had no other option. They'd rather tell you to find another way, find another way, find another way without offering a solution.

[inlieuofacolonel]

Good thing I don't listen so well.

[hexappeal]

Well, here's to being reckless and getting the job done, then.

[inlieuofacolonel]

Hey, not reckless. Just strategically without reck.
