I take it by all your reactions that this is a rare and unusual occurrence.

Shame. I feel we could all benefit from a few words of wisdom from those outside of our reenforced bubble.

Very well: speak your mind. Lt. Braca, if you can hear me: report.

Okay, now you've lost me.

Peacekeepers are a military organization. They do not marry; children are bred according to assigned duties and taken from their parents to be raised separately.

[ichoosefight]

Oh. Well that's. Something.

We're a little more old fashioned on Earth. You know, love, free will, all that jazz.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

"Jazz." I don't believe Crichton's ever shared jazz with me. What is it?

[ichoosefight]

[ She waves a hand dismissively. ]

It's a style of music. But the phrase 'all that jazz' is from a line in a famous musical, it basically just means 'and stuff like that'.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Ah. A metaphor. One of many found of Earth, so I take it.

[ichoosefight]

Them and cultural references. We're all about colloquialisms.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Two of John's favorite things, I always assumed. I suppose, having not made contact with any extraterrestrial life, humans need to develop their own exclusive language patterns with impunity.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, I hear we're a funny little planet. Seems to make us popular though! Especially with interstellar warlords.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Everything I know of Earth lead me to believe it's insignificant both in location and resources as compared to the rest of the galaxy.

[ichoosefight]

Makes you wonder why we get invaded so often.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

If most humans act like John Crichton in regards to behaving around other species...I'm not particularly surprised at all.

[ichoosefight]

I don't know him. And I find it hard to believe anyone would bother getting their ass kicked halfway across the galaxy to get back at some jerk.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I feel I need to investigate the human species far more thoroughly before I make a decision regarding their proclivity towards inciting riots.

[ichoosefight]

If you're lucky you may even get the chance.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I tend to make my own luck rather than rely on any cast before me.

[ichoosefight]

A man after my own heart.

Unfortunately the barge has a way of leaking people for no reason.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I have noticed that, yes. And I suppose there's no avoiding it.

[ichoosefight]

No, there really isn't. So often the people who want to stay the most disappear, and the people who want to leave are stuck forever. Just ask Arthas.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Arthas is..?

[ichoosefight]

Big guy, white hair, scary face. [ She takes a moment to imitate Arthas' serious expression. ]

I know he's still there 'cause I just talked to him.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of course. He's rather astute. Experience or innate intelligence?

[ichoosefight]

Probably a bit of both. He's been there as long as I can remember. I imagine he's seen just about everything by this point.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

'Everything' is likely to be a gross overestimation. I have seen many things, but in these far corners of the galaxy who's to say what we'll stumble upon next?

[ichoosefight]

I dunno, I think there comes a point where 'everything' is a pretty valid extrapolation of the things you've already seen.

It takes a lot to surprise me, these days.
