ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Lockebox]

I just stare at my food. I'm not very hungry.

"...yeah."

I just stare at my food. I'm not very hungry.

"...yeah."

I take a water bottle and chug it down.

"Don't tell me your moral sensibilities were getting the best of you during a combat situation of all things. Whisky i know we haven't known eachother THAT long but just because he dropped his missiles doesn't mean he wasn't a threat. He still had a PPC. You know, the wake up call he hit you with. And the reason FOR that is because you were so eager to get at his throat at the beginning of the fight. What changed?"

[Lockebox]

I shift uncomfortably and push my food tray aside.

"...I don't know. I've just been alone with my thoughts too much that's all. I feel like my priorities have changed severely since I joined. I was a cop, a keeper of the peace you know. But now i feel like i'm doing way more than just subduing criminals. I'm thinking too much about the person behind the roosterpit as i try to blow them to a million pieces."

I leave the requisitions office. I walk over to the mess hall.

I notice Tippy and Whisky sitting and chatting.

I listen in, being the nosy prick I am.

[Gojira]

I head to the mess, listening in on Tippy and Whiskey.

NOICE.

"...The same people who are trying to kill YOU. You're thinking about THEIR well-being?"

I roll my eyes. Even though he probably doesn't see it.

"I don't think those animals share the same point of view, Whisk."

[Lockebox]

I see the point. I still feel like its a hopeless cycle.

"I guess i joined up for all the right reasons for the wrong outcome. I just want to preserve peoples lives i guess. Lot's of people die needlessly. But still there's that internal battle of me killing another person to protect another... what if we don't win?"

[blockguy™]

"The person behind the roosterpit probably has a family. That doesn't stop me, or other people from blowing him to bits."

We're in the air-force. It's our job to kill people. If you don't want to kill people, why'd you join?"

"because i want to kill people."

I keep pushing my food tray further away from me.

"...I'm fueled by anger and resentment for those who choose to give up their own humanity to slaughter others by the masses. If you aren't already familiar with how the enemy likes to shove execution videos down our throats every waking moment of our lives. But i know it doesn't mean the whole race has given themselves up as a whole. I just want THOSE people in particular. My investigations were always cut short back in the days as a cop"

im pretty sure they dont do that

[Tayasaurus]

"because i want to kill people."

"So you're a killer but... a reluctant one? That's kind of normal for everyone."

[blockguy™]

"If you want to kill people, why are you having second thoughts about killing people?"

[Qwepir]

im pretty sure they dont do that

huit commandos may take videos but they don't make them public or try to shove them down peoples' throats (but with a little poking and prodding at the wrong parts of the internet he could definitely find some)
trejirm insurgents love to videotape and broadcast their executions but they aren't the enemy here
the imperium would never ever allow that sort of thing

[Lockebox]

"So you're a killer but... a reluctant one? That's kind of normal for everyone."

"It doesn't FEEL normal. Is our function as a species really to just tear each-other apart? The fact is that these things happen, and it's not going to stop and it just forgets with my mind."
