[Tommy's transmitting this from the bar, where he basically has been living ever since his last post. He sounds a little distant, distracted, and very very drunk.] I had a wife back home. Jeanie... We married before I shipped out to Iraq. Never even had a chance to open our wedding gifts. [Gifts that he shot.] Never will, now. [BECAUSE HE SHOT THEM. Also, he's in space. Which is good, since she has a restraining order against him.]

I keep thinking about what I'd do if I ever saw her again. What I'd say... [How he'd make things right.]

I know I'm new here, but I can't be the only one missing someone. You all have somebody, right?

[He's quiet for a while, then:]

What would you say if you could see 'em again?

[OOC: To folks I owe tags to: I have not forgotten! Just gonna play catch up later today.]

While we're here, we stand on the shore. Back home, when I was still in the stream, the current had pulled away most of the people I had anything left to say to. I figure I've got a better chance of making amends or finding retribution, being here.

I'd like to see my sisters again. I'd have different things to say to all of them.

Maybe not for everybody, back where I came from. But for me? Yeah, pretty much. By a lot.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to have better food supplies and fresher air. And like I said, it'd be great if Sharon or D'Anna could be here. [Any Sharon or D'Anna, really, although the Sharon calling herself "Athena" might be a little pissy if coming here meant being separated from her daughter.] But it's really not that bad here.
