Children are neither a bane nor a boon. We raise them to be independent and then sad when that's exactly what they are. If anything is responsible for our disappointment, its us. - Chronicles of Lorentino
"He's a commander now, reinstated under some black books program, I couldn't get much more information than that. Originally with espionage, now with an elimination group." Shira was catching me up on what I missed out on. Which was a lot sadly, I guess the galaxy is moving fast these days.
"So he already got bounced from one into another? Why he keeps trying with the RiG's I have no idea. I could make a fancy rank for him!"
"I believe your son wants to earn his way and not have it be handed to him." I frowned at that. Earning things is something for idiots.
"Does he not realize no one earns anything anymore? The only thing people really earn are the bad things that happen to them and even then not all the time." Living proof that not enough bad things has happened to me.
"I believe your son wants to be his own man. Much like the collective wanted to form our own personalities."
"Sure sure, fine let him fail on his own as he has been doing. How are we on our plans?"
"Our plans? Not your plans?"
"You want to be independent, you have to start taking ownership of my dumb ideas."
"I don't think that's how this..."
"Nonesense, now tell me where are we on that information Phil gave us?" Shira did not like how I changed tacts, but I was done with the conversation best to move on.
"Still verifying the veracity of the informa..."
"Plot a course, we'll go have a look for ourselves."
"Of course why be cautious its not like that has recently worked against you or anything."
"Exactly lets get moving, I feel a sense for adventure." One would think I'd be cautious after spending a year underground, but it was caution that got me underground in the first place. Throw that shit to the wind!
