TRASH BIN


It feels more like an electrical zap than dying. Dying might feel a little bit more like falling asleep, but this is harder, more painful. If you've ever been electrocuted, the feeling might seem familiar; the discovery you make when you open your eyes, too, is likely very familiar. It's the night sky. Stars twinkle, a fire cracks warmly. You sit up and observe the surrounding area, and it's like you've woken up in some sort of canyon. The fire burns brightly, the moon shines beautifully, the crickets sing, and it is ... peaceful.

Mostly.

You know you're dead. This must be, then, the after life? Or something like it, at least. The horizon stretches on forever, the dirt and gravel seemingly endless. The moon is so big and bright, it's like you could reach out and touch her. There's a shed not too far from the fire, only but a stone's throw away, as if someone else might have made it, and then went inside it. Approaching it, you can see the light glowing inside it through the dusty windows that are littered with fingerprints. A computer screen, so large and wide that it's baffling, sits, waiting. Turning knob reveals that the shed is unlocked, and stepping inside... it doesn't feel any different from the outside.

A chair sits in the center of the room, a strange contraption strapped to the head of it. It looks like it would lower itself upon the head of whoever dares to sit on it, and wires from it's bottom curl up towards the machines attached to the screen. Several smaller desktop screens sit beneath the giant monitor. They, too, are hooked up to the machines scattered around the room, to the ominous one perched on top of the medical chair, and they blink, as if fighting to stay alive without use.

Pressing the giant monitor on, it lights up, and displays, strangely enough... a security camera feed. You push the button. It switches to another room. Again, another room. Again, another room. So on and forth.

You peeping tom! But no one can blame you, in the end. You might as well digitally haunt the rest of the ship until the game ends, and AL-2955 can clean out the trash bin.

...Right?

Oh, Jack is a liar? What a riveting change.

[fuck jack. she has Regrets.]

If he knows who may be infected, I don't understand why he refuses to act.

Could be a lot of reasons: he's a glory-seeking asshole, he doesn't actually know, or a mix of the two. Sounds like he's covering his own shit in the sand and came up with a reason for shooting Rhys in the head. Pretty convenient trick when he's got some truth to add, but if he knew Liz was an alien could have saved everyone a shit load of grief. Weird he hasn't managed another other big acts in the weeks since.

[He shrugs. Mostly he's amazed Jack is still alive.]

If he wants to make himself Souvlaki bait, he can try. Don't think they'll go for it.

If they should target anyone, it should be him.

[ugh!!]

Why do you think they won't do so?

[You won't find Bull disagreeing here.]

He's shown his hand and told them he knows they'd be coming. There are loads more vulnerable, easy targets to hit before Jack and it's likely he'll have lots of eyes on him for the next few days. Thinking he doesn't have as good an idea about who's an alien or not as he believes either. It'd be a stupid move for them to go after him this week. They're aggressive, not stupid.

[she thinks it over, and then nods. it makes sense.]

Who do you think they'll target instead...?

Can't even guess, really. Depends on how they react to the information. They really do end up trying something like a Buddy system, they've got limited options on who they can attack - bonus of that is it can limit the damage they can inflict.
