Someone's pissed off that Shepard's gone to Ataraxion. Yep. Mom!alert.

Don't even try to fucking talk your way out of this.

[She stabs at her mun with an unlit cigarette, clearly blinding pissed off as she flicks her lighter.]

John is on that ship. You think I'm just gonna cool my heels here-- [The end of her cigarette glows red hot as she lights up, takes a drag, and then releases the smoke into her mun's face. Annoyed doesn't begin to describe her mood.] --when he's alone and unprotected on some giant heap of space junk?  We've been through this shit before.

Let's get something straight.

I'm going in.  Maybe it's not this time around, but soon.  It doesn't fucking matter how old he is, or what timeline he might be from, he's my son.  You're just gonna have to find your balls and strap them on.  Tell that space soldier to keep an eye on John in the meantime.

[She growls around her cigarette, smoke curling upward.]

Might give her a black eye on the way to the coffee pot in your goddamn head.  It should have been me, asshole.

Feeling impatient, Sarah...?

Get out, Borg Queen. >:[

[She smokes her cigarette for awhile, glowering at the-- Woman? Machine? Cyborg? Shit and hell no. All that thing is getting in this look and a very itchy trigger finger for the longest while. When she speaks, her voice is flat.]

He's my son.

You love it, Sarah.... >:]

You wish to return to your collective... I can appreciate that. More than you know.

You could benefit a great deal from joining one.

Pft.

[terminatefate]

I'm not fucking joining a damned collective.

<3

[one_who_is_many]

And I'm not saying you'll be given a choice. These things have a way of... Happening.

Re: <3

[terminatefate]

Yeah? I've got an arsenal that says otherwise.

[one_who_is_many]

No, Sarah. You have toys...

But I admire your resilience.

[terminatefate]

You can admire my jackbooted foot when it's lodged firmly up your ass. You're a goddamn Terminator in a different skin.

[one_who_is_many]

Nonsense, Sarah... We are a fusion of both the synthetic and the flesh. They are equally important.

I'll see what I can do about arranging you a personal introduction.

[terminatefate]

I think I'll pass. [She blows smoke at the thing. No way, no how.] Still a Terminator.

With respect, I find a threatening attitude isn't the best idea when the Commander is in any way involved.
