𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Oh it is saaaad hours huh. █ Right. █ None of that, now. █ Someone has to keep up the whimsy. █ I'm putting fesh pince on all the nonessential monitors on the ship as we speak. [NOW WATCHING: FESH PINCE OF BLAIR]
I understand…but you can let yourself feel things, Nonagn. It is unpleasant in this situation, but…I worry it might be worse if you didn’t.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ I appreciate the permission. █ This unit has a duty to the ship and crew not to fall apart. █ Someone has to be whimsical. █ Lycosi is gone so I have to carry the torch. █ Just a little bit. █ Obviously I can't make up for them.
Oh, Nonagn…no, you can’t, but why should you have to? You’re whimsical enough on your own. And you exist for much more than that and your helm duties.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ I'm n𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 154 𝐔𝐀 〉 █ Tha𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 283 𝐒𝐑 〉 █ Okay I really don't have any good pushback on this one. █ My situation just doesn't give me as much wiggle room as I'd like, you know? █ If I don't do it nobody will. █ Although apparently as per fucking usual it was the wrong decisi𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 154 𝐔𝐀 〉 𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 499 𝐂𝐂 〉 █ 😒 These errors are not helping...
I think you make several right decisions…but this is a stressful situation in which it’s hard for anyone to make a decision that doesn’t have unintended consequences. You’re doing your best.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Thank you for the assurance and confidence in this unit. █ I'll... █ I'll do my best, I guess. █ Its all I can do.
Yes. It is all, and I know it does not feel like enough…I will not discount those feelings, I am familiar with them…but what you can do still matters.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆_𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍… █ .. Thank you. █ This unit isn't sure why you're extending such a kind hand to her, but he appreciates it.
I will not bore you with the whole story…but I know what it is like to have to serve, to have one’s words censored, and to comply to others’ needs and feelings before one’s own. I am free now, but I will always remember, and extend my respect to others still subjected to those conditions.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Glad to hear you're free. █ Good for you. █ Genuinely.
