"in this case i'm sure we can get away with saying neither of us are the problem," tucking a stray strand of golden hair behind her ears and shifting in her seat to get a better view of the display christine had brought up. most of the reports that pass the captain's desk go through her meaning she has slowly picked up some of the terminology. though it doesn't quite match the wealth of knowledge stored away in the other's mind, "i think i got lost somewhere in the middle, a quick leap in steps where i got lost in the gap."

INTERSTELLAR (2014) SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ I thought you were the ghost. ❜

❛ You got to figure it out. I'm not always gonna be here to help you. ❜

❛ Well, I guess that answers the old "if I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario. ❜

❛ It's like we've forgotten who we are. Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers. ❜

❛ You're the one who doesn't belong. Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early. ❜

❛ We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. ❜

❛ You were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it. I'm sorry. ❜

❛ Don't make me take you down again. Sit down! ❜

❛ It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh? ❜

❛ You're sitting in the best-kept secret in the world. Nobody stumbles in here. Nobody stumbles out. ❜

❛ I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific. ❜

❛ We'll find a way. We always have. ❜

❛ Okay, now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world. ❜

❛ We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. ❜

❛ You're asking me to hang everything on an almost. ❜

❛ I'm asking you to trust me. ❜

❛ This world was never enough for you, was it? ❜

❛ Don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. ❜

❛ Mankind was born on Earth, it was never meant to die here. ❜

❛ We're just here to be memories for our kids. ❜

❛ Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future. ❜

❛ You have no idea when you're coming back. No idea at all! ❜

❛ Don't make me leave like this. Come on! Don't make me leave like this! ❜

❛ I love you. Forever. You hear me? I love you forever, and I'm coming back. ❜

❛ We're going to be spending a lot of time together. We should learn to talk. ❜

❛ Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings. ❜

❛ We'll be waiting for you when you get back. A little older, a little wiser, but happy to see you. ❜

❛ You don't think nature can be evil? ❜

❛ Why are you whispering? They can't hear you. ❜

❛ This gets to me. This. Millimeters of aluminum, that's it, and then nothing out there for millions of miles won't kill us in seconds. ❜

❛ Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system? ❜

❛ You can't just think about your family. Now you have to think bigger. ❜

❛ I told you to leave me! Why didn't you? ❜

❛ One of us was thinking about the mission! ❜

❛ I was trying to do the right thing! ❜

❛ Oh, we are not prepared for this. ❜

❛ You eggheads have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop. ❜

❛ Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but it can't run backwards, it just can't. ❜

❛ When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe. ❜

❛ I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory. Reality's different. ❜

❛ There's nothing here for us. ❜

❛ So it would be a real good time for you to come back. ❜

❛ I didn't mean to intrude. It's just that I've never seen you in here before. ❜

❛ I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time. ❜

❛ Are you calling my life's work nonsense? ❜

❛ Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something. ❜

❛ Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet. ❜

❛ I let you all down. ❜

❛ Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face. ❜

❛ I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but after so long, I had none. ❜

❛ I just want to know if you left me here to die. I just have to know. ❜

❛ There are some things that aren't meant to be known. ❜

❛ We can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. ❜

❛ Panic won't help. We just have to keep working, same as ever. ❜

❛ Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say. ❜

❛ A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death. Our survival instinct is our single greatest source of inspiration. ❜

❛ When I left Earth, I thought I was prepared to die. ❜

❛ Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. ❜

❛ You fucking coward. ❜

❛ Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your family. ❜

❛ Dad's not coming back. He never was coming back. ❜

❛ You're gonna save everybody? ❜

❛ He left us here to die. ❜

❛ Don't judge me. You were never tested like I was. Few men have been. ❜

❛ You're feeling it, aren't you? The survival instinct. That's what drove me. it's what drives all of us. ❜

❛ I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. ❜

❛ The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind. ❜

❛ No, don't go. Don't go, you idiot. ❜

❛ They didn't bring us here to change the past. ❜

❛ I don't care who describes it, there is no way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad. ❜

❛ Is this really what it was like? ❜

❛ I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started. I want to know where we are. Where we're going. ❜

❛ Nobody believed me. But I knew you'd come back. ❜

❛ No parent should have to watch their own child die. ❜

@yeomcn said: all i've had is coffee and leftover pie.

The SCIS agent offers Yeoman Rand an understanding smile. It's not even oh five hundred yet. Agent Shepard can't promise that they'll be done soon. "How was the pie?"

THIS IS . . . LAUFEY.

[yeomcn]

She holds no grudge against the agent, she's only doing her job after all but she would love to get back to her ship sooner rather than later, "surprisingly good." Janice chose not to say anything about the coffee.

[lvebug]

the crying part andie has already accomplished readily. the tears themselves have pretty much dried up already, but even as she wrestles control of her breathing she can still feel the puffy, scratchy eyes and the drying tear tracks and there's still the pressure of a dehydration headache that only makes itself known once the crying has stopped enough for everything else to come back. she brings up a hand to wipe at her eyes.  "thank you. i'm okay, really."  or she will be, at the very least.  "you don't have to worry about me."

[yeomcn]

janice was no stranger to tears, though she did her best to keep the stronger emotions below the surface on duty, no need to get distracted. she felt and felt strongly, which meant that tears joined in on the positive as well as the negative. passing over a tissue, nothing worse than getting over what made you sad and being reminded the next time you looked in the mirror. "just because i don't have to doesn't mean i won't," andie was one of the first friends she made upon the enterprise that came with her loyalty.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) + Bianca Stratford’s Outfits for @johnskeating

[ncmadmoved]

⋆.*ೃ✧ ━━ the cut above her brow ... stung. her body was sore and her shoulder was starting to itch. she hated having to put her arm in a sling. but she'd dislocated her shoulder when she was thrown back from the blast of the bomb. lips pursed and she shuffled forward , butt coming just to the edge of the chair. if she had just told janice who she had been seeing months ago , probably none of this would have happened. ❛ i know. ❜ the teenager mumbled. her father and the rest of the team were still at the office. mcgee was in a room couple of doors down. they'd been hurt. badly. ❛ but if i had just done something. ❜ there was nothing a teenager could have done. harper dearing was his own man. using one of his most talented assets to get closer to ncis. ❛ ... just feel like i should have seen this coming ? ❜

[yeomcn]

several years aboard several ships and her worse injury was a sprain or concussion, only now that she has returned to civilian life is she stuck in a hospital for several more days. life's irony does find its moments.

of course it could be worse. the doctor's had spent a lot of time explaining how lucky she had been and all the ways her injuries could have been more extensive. she supposes it was meant to make her feel better and she wondered whether it would reassure ellie to hear any of it, but she suspects it will just make her think about all the people who weren't so lucky as it had for janice. "there's a long list of people who should have seen this coming, you are not one of them."

officer's yeoman is one of the three tracks an enlisted crewman can be trained to fulfil as yeoman, the others include supply and executive. it is typically assumed that an officer's yeoman were the higher scoring trainees from their class, though often the case, they can also have prior experience that lends itself to being part of a landing team or a regular presence on the bridge.

upon a ship they are usually assigned to a department chief or the captain to perform administrative and clerical work on their behalf as well as act as the officer's aide. one benefit from the position is personal quarters close with a dedicated work area close to their officer's quarters.

[ensnchekov]

He places his palms down on the grass behind him, leaning back onto his arms for a better look at the night sky. These stars are entirely unfamiliar to him, foreign stars on an equally foreign planet that hold stories and shapes he can only guess at, but they're as beautiful as the stars that hover above Terra and Pavel finds himself creating his own constellations out of star clusters with his eyes.

"This is why I joined Starfleet," Pavel muses, lightyears away. "Because I loved the stars. I think I will never get tired of seeing them from this angle. We see the stars every day, but it is different to be among them rather than just looking up at them. It is beautiful."

[yeomcn]

It's like he has stolen the words from her diary. Raised upon a ship, her days were spent staring at the stars as her parents studied and plotted them, falling in love with the stories found in their patterns the way no matter which planet they restocked one most had something to say about the stars.

But Pavel was right, nearly any time spent on the ground, while the views were beautiful, left her yearning to be back at flight. "I don't think there's anything better," of course, since joining Starfleet time planetside often brings the additional joy of a break from the rules and regulations.

i think when humans are talked about in the star trek world janice embodies so many of those traits, the good and the bad
