Pickings from the Khitty Litter - USS Khitomer

[Randal Shayne]

Quote

Whilst they were doing this she had argued with the Captain ; again. She remembered their conversation about her presence  on the bridge, that  he wanted someone who might challenge and present alternatives to him, that he respected her, as she did him. But that was before he had sent her on a mission and she had been taken, and he hadn’t come for her. 

I'm often touched by the writing of my crew, but when I tell you that this physically stung, I mean it in the best way. This literally hitched my breath in my chest. Absolutely brutal, @Jacin Ayemet, keep not pulling those narrative punches. So good!

Hobart: Be the uniform, Ensign. ::firing thrice, at targets two, one, then three:: It doesn’t grieve. It doesn’t doubt. It doesn’t hesitate. It decides and it acts. For so long as you wear it, strive to carry out its will. When you get back to your quarters and take it off? You do whatever the hell you have to do to live with yourself.

Oof. More accurate gut punches.

A lot had changed since then, and not much at all. Hobart had been exhausted by the whirlwind changes, the surprise war, and his conflicted feelings towards all of it and more. Especially about Talia. But now the changes had settled, and the war had lulled. And Talia… still exhausted him but in an entirely different way.

Semara: I know it's a bit silly to think a science ensign might wind up in charge of the ship, but rules are rules.  And I'd rather not get kicked off the ship as quick as I got here.

 

Now there was a tempting thought. It lingered.

 

Nah.

Dewitt: If we serve this, I am sure my mother will leave the party.

Now there was a tempting thought. It lingered.

Nah.

Isaac just has me going...
