[ Here, Barge, have Racetrack who has just woken up from being a Navy sailor and fighting pirates and seriously what the frak. ]

I am so confused.

[ Help. :c ]

I got the memo, yeah. And no, you didn't have any choice about leaving the last one. You did it at the point of a firing squad. Don't frakking tell me that was your choice, unless you're about to admit to me that you decided to let Adama take you out.

I knew what I was signing up for. Don't tell me you didn't. What was it you said in that... propaganda thing D'eanna made?

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

But you weren't like that! Even if I wasn't aware you weren't like that, I sure would've known after a few days with Hoshi hunting after your ungrateful ass.

Do you really think I went to Tom Zarek to talk about a mutiny without knowing how high the chances were of that happening? To any one of us? I told you -- I wanted Louis out of it for a reason. He would have gone along with it for me, not because of the idea, and... and that wouldn't have been fair to him.

[landfall]

That's not the same. You wanted to win, you didn't want to die.

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

There's no winning here. There's just... I don't know, warden. Why don't you tell me?

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

What would you have said three years ago?

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

Judging by the flood we had right before you came? Something naive and idealistic and completely wrong.

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

Or... maybe a little bit right.

[ Wow she doesn't want to be saying that. ]

Like... the rebellion wasn't wrong. But hurting friends in the process wasn't right.

[ She didn't like standing there while Starbuck pulled a gun on her. ]

Well, you can't have it both ways. That's what I found out. You sign on for something -- or don't -- and that's... that's what you get.

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

That's it, huh? You never get a chance to be you?

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

Well, I'm not saying you can't have any fun. I have three jobs, and... [He makes a vague gesture to indicate something like that asshole.] ...someone. Oh, and they gave me a hardware upgrade last year.

[landfall]

Then why is this conversation so frakking miserable?

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

Because you're fresh off a breach and I'm fresh out of a two-week coma, and...

[Oh, right -- the port. He darkens slightly.] You'll see soon enough, unfortunately. I've been told something is coming.

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

Felix, I'm asking why you're so miserable.

And I guess I know the answer, but I don't know, I don't like it.

So I'll stop asking.

Want to get a drink?

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

No, listen-- I mean, I do, but I'm serious. I should be working right now, actually. There's some kind of... different port coming up, something even the Admiral is afraid of. We're all working on prepping for it.

I just... it's been a while since I've seen anyone. Any of us. [In the shock, he'd honestly forgotten all about Port Evil, but.]

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

Can I get you out of work? Is that a thing I can do?

Then you can tell me all about your dire warnings.

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

I volunteered. [Because of course he did, even now.] Can we meet up later? I'd offer to buy the drinks, but...

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

Of course you volunteered.

Sure. I'll have a head start on you there, though, because I'm meeting this pirate I shot.

[Threadjack] - private

[itstopped]

...right. Naturally.

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

She suggested it!
