"I would prefer if those taking everybody out were to invite me, otherwise it just feels like I'm crashing the party,"

His fatigues, which he never wears, bare a Major's insignia only on the neck. The shoulder is missing the insignia. Aside from the standard NAUC flag, his other shoulder bares two patches. One labeled NKDA, the other labeled O+/O POS.

In the hall, there is a scratching noise. The sound of claws rapping on the floors. It accelerates to a run, and panting can be heard. Two colossal furballs, having no concept of traction, fly past the doors a few seconds after Jaakko finishes his sentence. They reverse and Talko hops on the door to look in. He knocks it open the two large dogs explode through the gym doors. Now with traction, they speed towards Tippy and Jaakko.

"stuff!" Jaakko curses, and hides behind Tippy.

Jalko stops right next to Tippy, facing Jaakko and plants his ass into the rubber floor of the gym. Talko jumps towards Jaakko. Jaakko catches the dogs two front legs on his left forearm, allowing the dog to stand. Talko's tail smacks a water bottle and sends it to the floor. He begins whining. Jaakko is trying his damnedest to not collapse, and drops Talko. He begins administering scritches.

"If your dogs came here that means the robot isn't far behind looking for them."


Jaakko lowers himself to the gym floor, and lays down. Talko drops and rolls on his back, whining some. Jalko begins sniffing Jaakko inquisitively. Jaakko gives attention to both.

"Why? Was it walking them?"

"Robert spends 90% of his time caring for your dogs you know. He can't clean my room 40 times a day because its too loving small."

"The dogs can manage themselves at least seventy percent of the time," Jaakko claims, "They're usually being either coddled by base personnel or sleeping. They are not that destructive."

Jaakko notices that they are meticulously groomed. Brushed, at least, as he is not nearly as hairy as he should be after being tackled by his dogs.

"I'm sure your bot would enjoy variety- at least- can he?"

"I usually make sure he's with the dogs because you seem to forget Rikard struts around the base like a proud rooster. If you want to keep those dogs, stick them with my robot as much as possible. As for variety, the thing is cynical as hell. They should have programmed him with some character or something. I can't think of anything else i'd make him do."

Jaakko reasons that Rikard is, in fact, a rooster.

"Makes me wonder if he's trying to catch up to his brevet rank,"

Jaakko sits up and tries to stand. He can't manage to pull himself entirely upright from a sitting position.

"Oh Gods, I've done it now," he curses.

Tippy grabs jaakko and helps him up

"a wheelchair would have been better."

"No, he just collapsed."

"Just give him space for now, hopefully he comes out on top of whatever it is."

Walt sips the coffee again only to wince and set it down

"Thank you," Jaakko says quietly.

He scratches Talko between his eyes. The dog closes his eyes in bliss.

"They only spared me one crutch. A wheelchair is far and beyond that," he replies.

Jaakko turns his attention to the other dog, and rubs Jalko's ears. The dog grumbles, as if purring.

"You know, I remembered back at the airbase in Malanta, after Roger took all those missiles for me, how you had forced me to take my mind off of it. I suppose that's why I'm here now, is because I couldn't stand to stay in that loving white room, listening to people drop stuff, and hallucinating and hearing gunshots. Guess that I'll be sore tomorrow, but at least I'll have been here with you all today. I hope I can get restful sleep tonight," Jaakko murmurs, confiding in Tippy.

He looks up to Tippy. Jaakko seems shorter, as he hunches against the crutch. Usually he stands at Tippy's height.

"Just give him space for now, hopefully he comes out on top of whatever it is."

Walt sips the coffee again only to wince and set it down
"I hope so as well."

whoops i accidentally the entire last night

: The Kintharians are going, Tippy's going, even Co- Coa-? She's going.

He points to Coaxoch, who's leaving the room with Musashi.
: I don't see why you wouldn't be welcome. Or anyone else in your unit.

Walt overhears pansar and heads over

"Where would you be getting drinks? Somewhere off base?"

: Uh-huh. Not getting them here, that's for sure.

: Uh-huh. Not getting them here, that's for sure.

"I think I'll be tagging along then."
