[chromosomes]

This is just a reminder that fire in an enclosed area like a spaceship is bad and eats up all the oxygen. Luckily the past two were put out quickly. Use caution and don't set any yourself on purpose. If there are any more large ones or anything you can't put out quickly by yourself, let Security know.

Out of all the damn things to have to do in the field you got stuck with burns. How bad?

text »

[chromosomes]

Which time?

Chemical burns, usually.

[hypospray]

Figured you'd pick the worst one.

I'd say those aren't half bad, but if you've seen them and had to treat them, you know I'm lying.

When we're close enough to a base, they usually survive, at least.

[hypospray]

And yet you aren't always close enough to the best.

You ever have to get patched up like that?

text »

[chromosomes]

No chemical burns. Other burns, combat wounds, sure.

[ Just not anymore. ]

[hypospray]

Worst one?

[ Not any more because you're a freak. ]

[chromosomes]

[ wow rude ]

Bullet ricocheted into my stomach.

[hypospray]

[ could be ruder. ]

Just the stomach?

[chromosomes]

"Just"?

text »

[hypospray]

As in just the actual organ.

[chromosomes]

[ There's no good way to answer this. ]

Not sure. But it hit something major, I would've bled out.

text »

[hypospray]

[ Good's relative anyway. ]

Not necessarily. Might have just bled internally. That one's harder to notice.

text »

[chromosomes]

Believe me, I was definitely bleeding externally. And quickly.

text »

[hypospray]

You were lucky then.

[ this is where you agree. ]

text »

[chromosomes]

I know. My sister saved my life.

text »

[hypospray]

You thank her?

text »

[chromosomes]

I ended up here before I could.

text »

[hypospray]

But you were going to.

text »

[chromosomes]

Of course I was.

[hypospray]

Oh good then. I don't have to hit you upside the head.

[ and then a minute after. ]

I find out you lied about that and I will still do it though.

[ and that's all he wrote because fuck saying bye in text. ]
