[Feed opens to what will eventually be a pretty standard expression; she's annoyed, and vocal about it.]

Okay, so ... whoever named these ships is a fucking moron.

I mean ... Tourist? Really? Who's dumbass idea was that? That's like ... the worst ship name I've ever heard. It almost screams 'Hey! I'm stupid and out of my element! Come steal from me!'


Seriously, where do I petition to change this shit? Or do I gotta do an EVA and repaint the hull myself?

They're not supposed to be cute, they're supposed to be intimidating. Maybe that's why you guys got attacked before; no respect for a fleet named after bullshit.

[survives]

Intimidating?! It's not like we were supposed to be here to fight anyway.

A-anyway, I don't think they'd have stopped if our ships were called stuff like... like... [In a deeper, gruffer tone,] The Crusher or the Destroyer!

[i_got_this]

Hey; space is a dangerous place. It's better to be prepared then get caught with our pants down.

They might. It'd at least give them something to think about. 'Crusher' says 'these people mean business'.

[survives]

Or it says 'we're trying to overcompensate'!

[A huff.] I guess it's not a bad idea to be prepared, but I reeaaaally don't think changing the names is gonna do that.

[i_got_this]

Hey, anyone wants to fuck with us they'll find I've got the balls to back it up.

[survives]

[She groans.] It sounds almost like you want to fight 'em.

[i_got_this]

Hey, it's what I'm trained for.

[survives]

To fight aliens?

[i_got_this]

Uh, yeah. Member of an elite experimental militia program that fights both the alien invasion and the human insurrection. Got a lot of training for both. [Just ... not going to mention that her particular program was shit and pretty much everyone killed each other.]

[survives]

...Oh.

[On the list of answers she wasn't expecting that... is right at the top, yeah.

Will things ever stop being weird in the fleet]

Wait, wait. Is that why they brought you here? Because not all of us are trained for that, you know!

[i_got_this]

Maybe? No one seemed too concerned about getting attacked. [She shrugs. She wouldn't mind being brought in specifically for that.]

[survives]

I guess I just... [She huffs out a laugh now.] I'm still kinda trying to figure out why we all got picked, so if you did for that...

[A shake of her head.] I dunno. But I don't think anyone was really worried about it before we got attacked the first time either.

[i_got_this]

Eh, maybe. It'd make sense; I am a badass.

[survives]

[She full out laughs now.] Okay, okay. If you're really so badass, you can prove it whenever something happens again.

[i_got_this]

Oh, you bet I will. You may laugh but I was in an elite program. [Yeah one of the worst but still]

[survives]

Okay, okay. [That... does still sound pretty impressive to her. She can't deny it.] Then you should have noooo trouble at all proving it then, huh?

[i_got_this]

Are you saying you want a demonstration?

[YEAH TOTALLY MAKING A SHOW OF CRACKING HER KNUCKLES FOR THE CAMERA. SHE AIN'T PLAYIN'.]

[survives]

[She laughs, more out of surprise than anything.]

Are you saying you'd show me?

[i_got_this]

Yeah, but I gotta be sure you can handle it first. Don't want you crying to your Captain that I gave you a few bruises.

[survives]

Nooo way! I can take a few bruises! I'll be fine.

[i_got_this]

Alright, just don't say I didn't warn you.

Come on over and we'll have a sparring session; I'll show you what I'm made of.

[survives]

[She laughs now, shaking her head.] Great! Seriously, you don't have to worry. I'm not that hopeless.

Just wait till I get there!

[Okay, it's kind of exciting...]

[i_got_this]

Name's South Dakota, so you know who to ask for when you get here.

[survives]

I'm Leanne. You'll see me there.
