only the dead have seen the end of war.

Master Chief Petty Officer Carmen Gonzales. (Yeah, I know, it's a mouthful. Don't get me started on my middle names. You can handle it.) 36. Currently stationed aboard the starship Horizon.

[officerjordan]

I swear, half the reports I make on damage property are caused by you throwing weights around. Do you need to let off a little steam? I’m happy to lend a hand as long as it doesn’t involve anything getting broken.

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Ah, now you've spoiled my plan--I was gonna break that hand of yours. Kidding. You can suit up and meet me in the sim room for some target practice, if it suits you.

[faulkhq]

Let’s hope nothing, or else Cheik and Jordan will have our asses on a platter. 

[carmengonzalesfizg]

I'd love to see them try.

[felixwaldron]

"Well, that’s where you find the most interesting things."

[carmengonzalesfizg]

"Interesting and dangerous, though if it helps in the long run, it's worth the risk."

[officerjordan]

You didn’t… actually smash the walls, right?

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Maybe. Just a little.

[felixwaldron]

"I’m really ready to get back into the field; spending weeks on board this ship gets old very quickly."

[carmengonzalesfizg]

"Even if it's on unsavory ground?"

[officerjordan]

Uh, well I wouldn’t use those words, but I was certainly glad when the lock down was over. Glad to have the quiet of my quarters again.

Where did you get stuck?

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Gym, except it was a side room. Very fun. Lots of weights to smash into the walls in anger.

[officerjordan]

Hopefully something where we can be of some use. Being stuck and dealing with the tension among the civilians was not a good time.

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Glad I missed that. How were the civvies? Still bitching?

[michellexrodriguez]

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Thank fuck that ordeal is over with. What crisis is next?

[piercingthunder]

I’m in here with Zander Kent. He’s asleep in the corner. 

I swear I’ve heard your voice before. I remember it yelling at me at one point. What’s your name?

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Wow. Great company.

Gonzales. Carmen if you wanna be all touchy feely, Master Chief Petty Officer if you want my rank. All together, it's a mouthful.

[piercingthunder]

You’d probably be locked in there even after they fix the problem then. I think you need to forget about the idea of blunt force fixing everything right now. 

Are you alone in there?

[carmengonzalesfizg]

You know what they say about repeated ideas, right?

Alone with my fucking thoughts, which are great company. What about you?

[piercingthunder]

There’s a panel on the right there, but we already tried to override the door in here. No luck obviously.

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Logically, there should be some kinda failsafe or something. What do you think would happen if I just destroyed the damn thing?

[piercingthunder]

I’m not a damn shrink, I meant like are you fucking dying in there or something. Jeeze, take a chill pill, woman.

It’s no use trying to get through these doors. They’re built to withstand the vacuum of space if we lost part of the ship, I doubt they’re gonna be broken down with blunt force.

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Alright, alright, calm down.

Okay, so if I can't smash through it, is there some sort of panel I can fuck with?

[piercingthunder]

Well I’m not the asshole that broke the doors, so it’d be awesome if you directed that shit toward this hunk of junk ship we’re on, thanks. We’re trapped in here same as you.

You okay? As okay as you can be, anyway?

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Fuck, kid, pick a flavor. Don't go all salty on me then try and talk about feelings and shit. But I'm okay. Kinda.

Do you think anything here could be used as a battering ram?

[piercingthunder]

Is—is somebody in there? Hello?

I swear I just heard somebody.

[carmengonzalesfizg]

Yeah, I'm in here, asshole. What the fuck is up with the locks on this ship? One second I'm minding my own business, the next I'm trapped in this puny little side room.

[varsois]

"I don’t have to worry about fighting a director of a kids’ movie. I don’t have to worry about a director of a teenagers’ movie. Because I know they won’t try to rip my clothes off, make me look stupid or anything like that. I always protect all the women I play, and if I can’t do that, then I won’t wanna play her."
