A photographic memory is pretty rare, actually.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....maybe that's why I have a headache.

[Absolutely is, he's been trying to process those details in the present too much.]

[awakenerd]

Sounds like a possibility. If it was something from that AI you're missing and not a natural ability, it's probably a lot of... high attention you're not quite equipped for.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....I was more....focused? With Doyle.

But I was also concussed.

[So head still hurt because his life is suffering.]

[awakenerd]

So you're going to be trying to recall things in total detail from memories huh? There's got to be a way around that.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It looks like. I mean, I don't always zone out. Just. When I'm focused on it.

[awakenerd]

Does it affect your headache at all?

[schrodingerscockroach]

No? Nothing I've noticed. But I am really zoned out.

[awakenerd]

I wonder if meditation would help at all.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....couldn't hurt. Right?

[awakenerd]

Fortunately I've never heard of meditation hurting anyone.

[schrodingerscockroach]

We'll give that a shot then.

After I've caught up on a little sleep.

....though, I guess now we know why I got all gung ho about the bonding thing. [Threat of extinction makes for being dedicated to just. Not.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah. You're real dedicated to saving people.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's not like we had much choice.

The Covenant had a lot better weapons than us, especially if they don't even need to go planet side if they don't want anything from it. And I didn't feel any doubt.

They just wanted us dead. For some reason, I didn't think for a second there was another way with them.

The only way to make it was to make sure as many people could survive as possible.

[awakenerd]

[What a grim reality.]

Well, you're definitely a survivor.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[It really is.]

It really seems like that. I think the Colonel was looking for that. To see whether I could deal with the situation or if I'd crack in that sort of scenario.

I don't think that was the first time I was close to a Glassing. [Which sounds. Like a goddamn nightmare, Jesus Christ.] No wonder I agreed to be a human experiment.

[awakenerd]

Desperate times... At least you have more context for why you look like you've been through a few neat grinders.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah. Had a war we couldn't afford to lose against an alien alliance that had us outgunned. If you could be the crazy fucker to survive near death, then by god, I was gonna keep doing it.

[awakenerd]

Hopefully this conflict you've been roped into is a little more relaxing over all.

[schrodingerscockroach]

At least it seems likely to have far less grenades.

[awakenerd]

...For now.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Let me live the dream while I can. I'm already toeing the line between rugged handsomeness and just living scar tissue.

[awakenerd]

For what it's worth you're definitely still firmly on the handsome side of the equation.

Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He chuckles, a bit tired.] You're sweet.

[Gonna take Rean's hand in his and lifts it up to kiss the back of it. Because he still wants to kiss Rean and also cause Sparks.]
