We are the named and we are known

[lucetimods]

Who: All Draftees
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: 26th
Where: Dorms, location unknown
Summary: Dorm information is here. This is your room!
Rating: PG... we hope?

Your characters are shuffling off to their rooms. Each room has their name beside it and only they can open the door. People can only enter their room if they're allowed in (or they leave the door open). Characters will find any requested items in their room already. If they have a requested vehicle, there will be another door in their room that will take them to the hangar to inspect their equipment.

((Mod note: Extra draftees won't experience their Shift Incompatibility handicap in their dorms. :|a))

Your gun, it's....

.....


Small.

Appearances can be deceiving. Go away.

[all7seas]

But I've only just arrived, Bonesy! [Jack takes a chair and relaxes into it.] And I want to hear about your part in all this.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

I believe I said my piece to you the other day. [ phrased in such a way that he might have meant to say he didn't have a death wish. ]

[all7seas]

This? True. Going to be hanging back with the medical teams, then? Or in the field?

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Both.

[all7seas]

Then perhaps we'll see each other out there, fighting side-by-side, like. Best mates. I'm to report to the clearing squads, I suppose.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

How likely is that going to happen. [ tonelessly. he doesn't expect this to happen nor does he want it. ]

[all7seas]

Who knows, McCoy---war. Not predictable, no matter how much our "strategists" strategize.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

I'm not even supposed to be here, Jack. Starfleet isn't meant to interfere in other people's Goddamn wars. I learned all about the eugenics war when I was a kid and at no point in my life did I go hey, I want to get a firsthand experience of this conflict.

[all7seas]

..."Eugenics war?" What's that?

[Because how many people named Eugene would ever get THAT mad at each other?]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Once upon a time Jack, humanity tried to improve themselves through selective breeding and genetic engineering. Picture these wings, but on a grander scale -- think enhanced physical abilities and mental superiority over other people -- and while it did work, it caused conflict and almost thirty million people were killed. We were plunged into a new Dark Age that lasted until First Contact.

[all7seas]

Abominable! And that's where the future's headed?

.....Horrifying. [And it is. The story spreads a cold chill up the pirate's spine. He had seen what Beckett could do to villages and towns in the Caribbean, where supporters of pirates---their wives, children, and families--were hanged by the hundreds. He cannot grasp 30 million.]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ he nodded. a black spot on their rich history. he was privileged to live in such a time where they had no conflicts like the one he had just described, but while he was here... it was difficult to not make this allusions. ] I'd say we're already here.

[all7seas]

[Any pretense at joviality is gone, and Sparrow looks at Bones with a kind of new respect. To live with that sort of history---that burden of debt. It must be excruciating.]

It may be so, Doctor McCoy. Oi--later, Kennedy and me---we're newer recruits. We've been warned to stay back, because of their shifting whatsits. Troubles.

We're going forward anyway, if you'd like to join us.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ this sparks a reaction in McCoy and, briefly, he's back to his old self again. he hadn't hacked the last message when the scientists announced the newest recruits. ] Shifting troubles?

[all7seas]

Only a mention that we might experience certain difficulties...

[Yeah, Jack has no idea that he is going to land on the field with a severely broken arm and an interesting Easter-egg-pink color.]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ he stares at Jack, then narrows his eyes. ]

Those... Goddamn it, don't be a fool, Jack. Stay back.

[all7seas]

Not with her out there, McCoy.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ he's angry. so much angrier than he has been lately and he snarls. ] Fine, don't listen to me. You can both go out there and die -- see if I care.

[ he would. ]

[all7seas]

See you in a week, then. But if you change your mind----

[He leaves off the rest. Fully expecting the doctor to change his mind.]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ you people can't keep doing this to me. presenting him with things like this he just couldn't damn well ignore and since he had already sent Buffy from the room in a fit of anger, he felt like he couldn't do it again. he was hurting, but he needed to control himself and curve his temper into doing something productive. ]

... Damn it.

[all7seas]

....Good man. [Jack goes to take his leave of the doctor.] Til later, eh?

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

No.

[ but he really means yes. goddamn it. ]
