“You’re fucking unbelievable.”
* fuck. / @bladebuilt.
he turns towards the voice, noticing fighter pilot keith kogane standing behind him, and replays the words in his head. you’re fucking unbelievable. he has to laugh a bit at that because he’s surprised the young man has enough courage to say that to him, an officer who can, with a snap of his finger, have the cadet booted for speaking in such a way to a figure of authority. but as takashi had put it, he did have discipline issues in the past. and iverson had warned the officers a fair bit of kogane’s antics.
❝ you have guts for speaking to me like that, cadet kogane. in fact, i’m a little impressed that you would even fathom using that type of language around a junior officer, someone who can so easily get you booted from this base and on your ass out in the street. but i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you’re upset about takashi’s death. as much as i am angry that he chose to go, i can’t say i’m surprised. if he had just stayed here where he was safe with me, he wouldn’t have gone, at least... at least not as quickly. but just remember: speak to me in that way again, and i’ll have to talk to admiral sanda about your behavior. ❞
