Think what you want.

[catatonics]

admit it, you're going to miss me.

[makedo]

You have me confused with someone who gives a fucking shit

[catatonics]

if you don't care, why does it matter to you that i get in my pod? genuinely curious.

[makedo]

i prefer to avoid civilian loss, dana

[ and, more seriously: ] please get into the pod.

[catatonics]

i'm not a civilian, brad.

[ not really. she doesn't know how to shoot a gun and she doesn't have any of his fancy training, but after what she lived through... civilian isn't exactly how she would describe herself. even without that, now she's one of the monsters under the bed. ]

and now i rate a please! i'm touched.

answer's still no.

[makedo]

[ brad's definition of civilian is anyone not in the armed forces (or an enemy combatant) and so she's a civilian. ]

Fine.

[ someone else will knock her out and drag her to the pods, that works for him. ]
