basically: he agrees wholeheartedly.]
We're going to need everyone. Or as many people as we can possibly enlist.
--So, right. Everyone.
pardon me im going to delete lower-down comments to reduce redundancy and move em around
families who can't get off at this point because we've blown our wad on fucking shuttle fuel.
if you are telling me you'll give these kids an immeasurable-to-1% chance of survival based on incomprehensible physics, unseen technology, and the psychic abilities of amoral demons we have zero goddamn control over, instead of opting to fight the local military and their scary petri dishes, then you are an asshole.

EVEN IF YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE WITH A NICE BUTT ON EITHER SIDE OF IT.]no subject
"scary petri dishes" are yo
u out of your fucking mind?
no subject
can you tell me how you managed
because that would make any of your fucking arguments sound actually sane
short of that.
no subject
listen to Gunnery, listen to Flight
listen to what's happening in Engineering
no subject
you could be equally well-served by shooting yourself in the head and taking a walk out of the airlock.
you know, leave the rest of us out of it.
take your friends!
no subject
maybe you won't scare everyone off the only choice we have left available to us after all
[ BYE FELICIA. ]
no subject
i know you're probably off the charts in terms of standard intelligence measurements and probably have some kind of degree in sciences that are completely irrelevant to any at hand, but
if you really think that's the only choice we've got left, that's
well, at any rate, welcome to name-calling. my best friend's kid has got a broken leg. i am glad you think yourself qualified to euthanize him.
no subject
I think it's the only choice we have left because I'm paying attention to what is happening around me and allow me to repeat myself:
we are losing
and in case you haven't noticed, we have in fact survived jumps before
quite a few times actually
you could make yourself useful and start preparing said children for grav couches
no subject
butt]
losing sucks
dying sucks more
this jump is not going to be like every other jump, it was the idea of one charlotte daniau who thinks it is likely we will die
your explicit preference of gory mass death over capture is noted as is your decision to be a condescending cunt. the fact you've made your choice does not mean no one else has got one.
text. 1/2.
you got me there
telepathy. 2/2.
Just making sure. ]
no subject
And mingled in with all that, the urge that is uncharacteristic for William, to run out and punch one of those Jump enthusiast motherfuckers in the head.]
no subject
He's sunk commands into William's brain before, but not in direct conflict with an ineffable space demon.
Fuck. ]
no subject
--and it's telling, too. Even before the first flicker of uncertainty to reach William's mind, it's important to note that Heather isn't so very far away.
She isn't in William's field of vision, as Charles can see through his mind's eye, but a distinct presence behind him, hanging over Takeshi's shoulder. And underneath the heavy sediment of fear, frustration, the remote cacophony of destruction elsewhere on the ship, William knows what Heather wants. She'd rather die than be taken. She'd rather die than Takeshi be taken. She has lived on this ship long enough to have the right to this choice; she has been Takeshi's mother long enough to have the right to that choice. And anyway, the fact it's what she wants would ordinarily be enough.
Not today.]
no subject
But he understands it, and what William knows what Heather is going through. ]

William.
I never would have suggested this if I thought there was any way we could avoid it. If there is slim hope then we ought to take that road, but we have more control over this than if we surrender our control to them.
Do you want those families to suffer under a government who doesn't give a bloody fuck about us?
This is our best option and we ought to prepare for it whether it happens or not.
no subject
--well, you can't see him without video. But he does sound pretty shouty when he types something like,]
how is it that fucking difficult for you to wrap your head around the fact that
i don't want
to surrender our control
to you
who are also an imperialist cunt of impressive proportions, utilizing rhetoric across the network to try and get me to put my people in danger.
no subject
I don't want anyone surrendering their control to me. This imperialist cunt happens to give a shit about Heather and Takeshi and Newt and Remus and Sirius and yes, even you.
All I want is to give us a fighting chance now that we can barely defend ourselves. Wrap your bloody head around that.
