I grow tired of listening to constant lies regarding the state of our homeworlds. Been asked why this... crew... would lie to us. When they stated they would not.

[He snorts]

I ask why they would not.

They wish to keep us here, hmn? Must have been a lot of work to gather us all... why would they want us to slip away? To look for an escape? Waste of all their efforts. Best to keep your prisoners compliant... when there are so many more of them than there are guards. Or, shall I say... crew?

I do not believe their story. Not asking anyone to agree with me, I do not care if you do or do not.

Just saying.

What lies about our homeworlds?

[ He hasn't been listening in on conversations, really. And his homeworld and Earth are important to him. ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

We are expected to believe they are destroyed.

[whistlesatengineers]

Unlikely.

[ He hopes. ]

Though I wouldn't expect anything less out of the Covenant.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmpf! I agree! Our worlds are still there, despite what they say.

...

The what.

[whistlesatengineers]

Don't know anything that could destroy that many worlds anyway.

Covenant. Big ugly alien religious fanatics. Think the human race needs to die.

[ If text could have a tone, his would be 'Full of angry loathing'. ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Neither do I.

[Since he's from before everyone started screaming about the sun exploding, anyway.]

Sounds... familiar.

[whistlesatengineers]

Does it? You've run across Covies before?

[ He's been noticing certain things, like fashion and speech patterns. And they... definitely aren't from his own Earth. And yet he has some of the same problems that Mikaela does, just with different names. It freaks him out a little. ]

Idiot.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Fool.

...You okay, Ironhide?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am fine.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Yeah, fine.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You do not sound it.

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Rule number one of keeping a crowd in control, after all.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmn. You agree then?

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

This whole thing seems fishy to me, period. They could be obliquely telling the truth - Earth's sun is due to burn out in a couple billion years after all.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not everyone here claims to be from Earth. And they offer no proof, other than to tell us they are being truthful...

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Even more fishy. What are we talking about, a universe-wide destruction?

Fish. ey.

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is what they wish us to believe. I do not.

[lastofvaldemar.livejournal.com]

....what?

[heavyweaponsbot]

What part needs repeating?

[lastofvaldemar.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, what was said about the state of our homeworlds?

... Way to not deliver the notif at ALL, LJ.

[heavyweaponsbot]

They tell us our homeworlds are destroyed completely. It is utter nonsense.
