Short and unpleasant. I suppose that when the Admiral gives us ports that turn out to be completely unsalvageable, that's the best he can offer us.

Not pointless -- you might have noted I did not use that word. If anything, my brief sojourn into the mad wilderness yielded some experiences that were most illuminating. Even on top of knowing what it feels like to be shot in the face -- an advent about which I'm certain Monsieur Swing will be delighted to hear.

Note also that I didn't say "eaten alive". I'll let the lot of you ponder on that. I might have to write about that one someday, but for now? Rest, I think.

I'm nothing like him.

Oh no, there is a significant difference between the two of you. Do not mistake me. His are the acts of an evil man gone insane, and yours are the evil acts of a good man gone insane. A different start but an identical finish -- a few shifts in terms of development and motivation, but when it's laid down in the books, the characters tend to be drawn from the same stock.

I don't need to listen to this.

So which ones did you make a point to get rid of?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

We parted ways. I didn't harm them.

You left them in hostile territory.

You realize that part of being a leader means taking responsibility for such things, oui?

Or do they skip that part of the training in your country?
