I look at Kissinger.
"Nothing is worth more than human life, brother.

We need to figure out what the hell this thing is if it's worth 12 of them."

What cargo is worth a dozen human lives!" I yell, and pound a fist against the table.

Some nearby Aesthian personnel overhear Kissinger's outburst.
: Mate, if you're this sentimental about the sanctity of human life then why'd you join the armed forces in the first place?
: I can think of a thing or two, how about captured munitions, or at least schematics? Or a chunk of experimental tech? You chair force types don't have to experience what we have to. I know I'd kill to get my hands on some of those Imperial toys, or something that can at least bring them down a peg.

"We all joined to do something. But in combat, you aren't fighting for your country- you're fighting for the man next you."
:You chair force types don't have to experience what we have to.
"Sure, you get shot at on a daily basis, but imagine getting burnt up in a loving tin can going 1,000 miles an hour. When the last thing your buddies hear is your scream as you get fried, and all they find is a chunk of your loving helmet."

could have worded that last sentence better, but i'm not sure how fixed

"We all joined to do something. But in combat, you aren't fighting for your country- you're fighting for the man next you."
: If it wasn't him, it would've been you. This is war. People die. Get used to it.

"Sure, you get shot at on a daily basis, but imagine getting burnt up in a loving tin can going 1,000 miles an hour. When the last thing your buddies hear is your scream as you get fried, and all they find is a chunk of your loving helmet."
The pilot has to physically restrain the Marine from attempting to cave your head in.
: Whoa there buddy I don't think he meant what he just said. He's just attempting to use sarcasm and humor to cope with the passing of a dear friend, he doesn't actually think that your job is easier.

He shoots you a glare visible even behind the face-concealing helmet.
: Right?

I sigh and shake my head. I look at Kissinger, and then I look at the Marine. I become so filled with rage, I'm about to get up and punch the stupid Marine in the face. I start clenching my fists and give a death-stare to the Marine, trying not to get my sorry ass NJP'ed.

Steele's ghost comes back and slaps Lefty AND Kissinger in the face

"You piece of stuff. There's a sanctity to human lives, you're right that there are things worth dying for, but a bunch of loving boxes?! I don't care what's in the boxes! It's not going to bring Steele back! He'll never see another day. He'll never age another year! He's gone! Two AWACS rammed each other too! What about those people? They'll never see another day!" I argue.

I pause to attempt to regain some coherence.

"And you've the nerve to call us the chair force? We are the reason you can be even marginally successful. We bring down the wrath of the Gods upon the mother forgeters you can't kill! I'm sorry you couldn't muster the mental capability to even grasp at the complexities of an aircraft, air warfare, or combined arms for that matter!" I return.

My blood boils and the hot coals flare up in my chest.

"forget me."
I walk out so pissed, I have no clue what I'm doing or where I'm going.
There was no alcohol allowed on base. I need something to cool myself and keep stuff okay.
I walk into the barracks, and knock on Taylor's door.
"Hey! You got any cigarettes?"


After a bit of thinking, thank god Taylor didn't answer me, perhaps smoking isn't the best idea to cope with my problem.
"Nevermind."

A crowd begins to form.

"You piece of stuff. There's a sanctity to human lives, you're right that there are things worth dying for, but a bunch of loving boxes?! I don't care what's in the boxes! It's not going to bring Steele back! He'll never see another day. He'll never age another year! He's gone! Two AWACS rammed each other too! What about those people? They'll never see another day!"

My blood boils and the hot coals flare up in my chest.
: If I had until the End Times I could not explain all the ways that what you just said was the stupidest and most ill-thought out word vomit to ever dribble out of your stroke-addled loving mouth.

The pilot gets between Kissinger and the Marine in an attempt to defuse any physical situation that may arise, but it's too late. The Marine, conservatively estimated at being one and a half times the poor forgeter's mass, shoves the pilot aside like a twig and punches Kissinger in the jaw with the power of an enraged gorilla. The carbon-reinforced knuckles on his glove amplify the force to bone cracking levels, and you feel your dignity exit your body in the form of a handful of teeth. The other pilot recovers in time to grab the Marine's arm before he can throw another punch, sparing you any further injury, but your jaw is very much fractured at the very least.
: HEY! That's ENOUGH!
: [Un-loving-believable...] One of you gawkers go get a medic for the poor forgeter, before he bleeds on my tools.

*table, not tools

I walk back to the mess hall, only to see a crowd.
I push through the crowd, only to see Kissinger with a bloody mouth, Nosebitch, the pilot, and the Marine.
"Are you loving kidding me?" I get pissed again, but considering Nosebitch is right there and I do not want to get NJP'ed at the moment and also get my ass kicked by the Marine, I forever hold my peacewrath.

i mean
what are you more worried about, getting disciplined or getting your ass handed to you by the marine?
this dude's much better built for and trained in handing asses to people face to face as opposed to in a plane, and you just saw how short his temper was

good point

I recoil from the punch. My jaw audibly pops. A spit out some fragments of teeth. There is some scuffling but I zone out in recoil. Blood runs down my cheek. I can even smell the iron in the air. My cheek feels as if it's on fire. He's pissed. May well forget with him. Steele's dead anyway.

"How- pathetic," I enunciate.

I take a breath. It sounds much in the same way as breathing when under G forces.

I hack up another blood covered tooth fragment, and spit it onto the table.

"You- really ar- a pathetik- person-. Who- taught you- to punch- anwa-? You-r husband-?" I pronounce, holding my jaw.

I take another breath in G-straining fashion.

"I'l- die- for what I- believe here- and now- you worthliss- piesh of stuff-" I choke the words out.

I stand and tense up, ready for another outburst. My vision gets somewhat blurry. Maybe I should sit.

Mr. Hurricane got destroyed from what I just read.
