. . . but whilst my heart does go out to my fallen comrades in the Medlab, I do have a rather pressing question: What is a Deathstrike and why am I meant to be concerned? I mean, yes, certainly the monicker "Deathstrike" does not imply a sunbathed field of daisies through which fluffy kittens cavort, but there are levels.
(And no, I did not mispost; I simply do not care to ask on the team comm and be ridiculed for not reading over the entireity of seven years' of mission reports whilst a trainee.)

no subject
Date: 2011-03-05 09:43 pm (UTC)And yes, I suppose they are, but at this point I feel there is a fine line between optimism and gullibility.

Date: 2011-03-05 09:18 pm (UTC)I did read all the reports.

Date: 2011-03-05 09:23 pm (UTC)You have no idea how little that narrows it down.
(Though the Weapon X detail is a bit more helpful.)
I freely confess to skimming the older ones. I think I may be forgiven for forgetting some of the details, as I came into the trainee programme shortly after a brainwashing. Some retention problems are to be expected.

Fair warning, however; abiding by the "Take one drink every time Cable returned from a mission unconscious" clause alone could lead to liver failure.

Date: 2011-03-05 09:46 pm (UTC)Be grateful you did not partake during Version 1.0. Jen and I were often quite sick until we made special allowances for Acts of Dayspring.
. . . come to that, perhaps my memory has less to do with skimming and more to do with that.

Date: 2011-03-05 09:48 pm (UTC)I don't tend to participate in drinking games, but I imagine it would not be too hard to get drunk quickly thanks to clauses such as that. If there were not so many underaged team members, I would suggest it as a fun team bonding exercise.

We must do this. For the good of the team.

Date: 2011-03-05 10:23 pm (UTC)I daresay we should even take turns reading the reports aloud. It is, after all, the only way to do Voices.

no subject
Date: 2011-03-06 01:35 am (UTC)Nonetheless, I feel it only appropriate to wait until those involved in the mission have recovered. If nothing else, it sounds as if they would appreciate a drink.
