Are you near Aphid?

Whatever you do, I need you to stop her from going back to see Tenko, she's planning something, I think she's gonna put a parasite in Aphid's neck.

She's gonna kill our friend...

Please don't let her leave.... Please...

I can't lose her...

Uhh yeah I’m with her right now. Oh shit yeah I’ll warn her against going back. The evil plants and their chudpact can fucking rot they’re trying to pick us off one by one and their fake-nice veneer is really starting to piss me off. I don’t want to detain aphid and if I did I think I’d be swarmed by foliage before I could even respond. Frankly my main strategem right now is just to be as good of a friend as possible and try to help her realize there are alternatives to plant slavery but if she tries to head out I’ll go to plan B of showing her this message and begging and pleading and also maybe crippling her plane.

Mrauww :3

Mrrppp, miaowww

Hmm hello cat-beast. Meow. How are you?

[agonizedspacetrooper]

Cutie. This is Stylone. You May consider me hellspawn but we both want the best for you and your Crew. I know for a fact you don't have nearly any medical supplies. So, I have a proposition: you let @hot-doctor-pepper in to treat you andethe rest of you cuties, Commander Graves, or you get involuntarily domesticated for hurting your "troops". Please... Just for their health. You can even come verify Nothing fishy is going on

@sappy-red-algae

The message rattles through my radio and I look at it with contempt

“You just fought us. It’s your fault we’re in this situation at all. Didn’t that ‘doctor’ of yours attempt a boarding action? That’s really humanitarian stuff. We’re all banged up and @adriftfighterpilot nearly bit the big one. We don’t need your bullshit medical supplies.”

I look over and watch as my doctors rinse a pair of disposable nitrile gloves with isopropyl to reuse them. Half of the doctors are wearing surgical masks and the others are wearing respirators borrowed from the hangar team. I grab the hair on the side of my head and sit down.

“The accord gave us plenty of supplies. What do you even have that we could use anyway?”

[agonizedspacetrooper]

Hey. So you realize we both have GIGANTIC targets on our backs now, right..? Uh.. have you got any fighters lying around here you don’t need..? Or shuttles, or hell, anything. For once I can uh… get out of this medbay.

Terra invicta.

“Pppppffffhhhh. Nah we’re fine. Fuck those guys we got out of dodge so quick.”

The station shudders. My radio barks to life.

“TCNS Eurphrates, we’re ready to go”

“Hit it, gentlemen”

The station begins to rumble and shake as it jumps to FTL

“I’ve got a tug-ship. We move all these bases from time-to-time to make us more of a bitch to track. The only thing that would fuck us is if we got unlucky and they really really zeroed in on killing us.”

I grab your chart off of the end of your bed.

“We can definitely get you a new fighter, we’ve got to have something lying around, but it dosent look like the doctors want you flying anytime soon. You had a lot of nasty internal bleeding”

[agonizedspacetrooper]

Cmdr. Graves do you still have that hyperspace tug around? My ship is not fully operational yet but I could absolutely use an evac. I think I really stepped in it this time, and very much need to be anywhere other than this base, preferably behind friendly lines.

-TCN Lt. Hazel

Oh piss. Yeah we’ve still got the Euphrates. What’s going down?

[agonizedspacetrooper]

[a metallic Finger taps commander Graves' shoulder]

@salt-thetech-duck

“Yeah what is-“

I turn around, realize it’s not one of my troopers tapping me and instantly pull my revolver and fix it to your chest. I blink and holster it again.

“Jesus Christ almighty, Salt you can’t go sneaking up on people like that. Oh my god my heart almost stoped, I thought you were a leafie kill-droid. What’s goin on?”

[agonizedspacetrooper]

You... you let harm come to one of my kin... How could you..

I was literally explaining my pro-plushie position to aphid when salt decided to interrupt everything, causing aphid to blow up the damn teddy bear. I’m trying my best here, take it up with salt and aphid.

And fuck it take it up with the compact for putting mind-control nightmare technology in what should be an otherwise good object. If they put that shit in my cow I’m glassing their homeworld. I don’t know how yet but I’ll find a way.

[agonizedspacetrooper]

Dude. The compilers are the fuckin' worst. Sometimes they talk to me like I am a pet, seriously.

What? The equipment does? The compact is such a fuck ass country dude I bet u can’t even eat use a toaster without it saying some condescending shit to you. Have u tried escaping?
