[motivation]

dwarf planet and its three moons

[evasives]

And is that where you were before here?

[motivation]

actually? no
i was in the middle of fucking nowhere

but it's where my ship docks these days

[ present tense, despite the fact that she's here ]

[evasives]

[ !! ]

Like a starship? Are you a pilot?

[motivation]

like a starship
her name's lucy

i can fly her, but usually i let johnny do it

[ have you met [Bad username or site: johnny @ jaqobis] yet ]

[evasives]

[ he has not! this is the most he's learned about dutch since he first arrived and felt what she was feeling. ]

I never had my own ship, but I flew them quite often. Who is Johnny?

[motivation]

you any good?

[ honestly, it's perhaps the most she's shared with anyone. telling clarke about the green comes close ]

he's [ her platonic life partner, her soul mate, her gravity, her moral compass, family -- yeah, no, she's not sharing that much ] one third of my team, back home

he's here, too

[ and d'avin had left -- but she's not thinking about that. three people on the team, not two. ]

[evasives]

[ ah he recognizes that. neglectful use of the word "friend." ]

I am. But I am better with my copilot.

I have one person from home here too. It is good to have familiar faces.

[ which is the roundabout way of saying!! he is glad she's not alone. ]

[motivation]

[ best friend, even. ]

but not your copilot?

[ it is good not to be alone. especially if the person here is someone they care about. who cares in return. ]

[evasives]

[ all this friend talk, brackets or otherwise, got cassian missing k2so big time. people who care about him always sounds like a fake concept, but he has that here anyway too. ]

No. And if we are all brought here the same way, I am not sure it would be possible for him, given the lack of human body.

[motivation]

some people got human bodies when coming here, apparently

[evasives]

How would that even work? That just leaves more questions about the extent to the medical capabilities of whoever took us here.

[motivation]

don't ask me

[evasives]

I am not sure there is anyone found yet to actually ask upfront. It seems like the kind of thing that might spread quickly.

[motivation]

yeah
i'd like to punch whoever knows a couple times until they spill the beans

[evasives]

I am getting the sense that is your go to solution for most problems.

[motivation]

well, yeah
it works pretty well for me

[evasives]

I did not say it could not be useful, sometimes.

[motivation]

only sometimes

[evasives]

Kicking might work. Sometimes even just talking does wonders.

[motivation]

kicking arse includes punching
i leave the talking to johnny

[evasives]

And that is presumably what makes your team work so well?

[motivation]

ish
i lead, d'avin shoots, johnny gives a shit

[evasives]

One of each is very important.

[motivation]

two out of three isn't too bad

[ but hells, she misses d'avin ]
