Who: Kai Gracen and Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Caprine
When: Now

Look, I think it’s great that we all survived, and that there was some coordination was obviously fundamental to that. So was rescue.

Still, this whole experience brings up a rather pressing question. Do we have a basic battle plan?

[ A pause, and then Kai’s voice dips sardonic, sarcastic. ]

Or at least an entertaining one? Maybe that’s where we failed. Being rescued was more amusing than anything we’d managed to come up with on our own.

We’ll have to do better. Ideas welcome.

[ For anyone that would be looking for him, Kai's in the kitchen with a glass of some kind of liquor he'd gotten on Corona, and the bottle is about half-empty. He really didn't like how close they'd come to losing the Caprine. ]

Comments

[onlyvengeance]

That is true. Do these sort of attacks happen often?

[halfbloodhatchling]

This is the first time since I've been here. But that's not that long.

[onlyvengeance]

That is, by turns, both reassuring and not.

[halfbloodhatchling]

Yeah, well. Neither you nor I knew to expect it this time.

We'll do better when they try this shit again.

[onlyvengeance]

Hopefully there will be no next time.
Still...it is a good idea to be prepared.

[halfbloodhatchling]

There'll be a next time. At least I intend to be alive long enough to see it.

[onlyvengeance]

I hope that you are granted your wish.

[halfbloodhatchling]

I'm Elfin. I'm durable.

[ If she hadn't seen the injury he'd taken, she might not know how true that way. Either way, there was no sign of it on him now. ]

[onlyvengeance]

I'm afraid that I am unfamiliar with the term, but enduring is a good trait to possess.

[halfbloodhatchling]

It's my species.

[ Kai taps the tip of one pointy ear. ]

What about you, planning to stick around to help us with the next one?
