<em>"I suspect you'll have more than enough work to handle without the PD making things worse, if what you were saying about the colony is right."</em><br/><br/>“Yeah, sooner or later the political officer will get around to crawling up my ass,” Sara said regretfully. Granted, the deal with Captain Douglas would stymie the bitch in the short term, but all those fuckers were relentless. “In their way of thinking, being loyalty-flagged makes me worse than rapists and murderers.”<br/><br/>At Max’s casual mention of her politicos coming to unfortunate ends, Sarah was shocked that the woman would say such a thing. PD had been rumored to liquidate entire companies or even battalions if they suspected a wide-spread conspiracy against them. Still, it was heartening that the new arrival took such a dim view of the folks in Propaganda. The medic was of course less encouraged by Max’s analysis of how desperate the situation was. “Sometimes its tough to deal with how completely the big picture is out of our control. But for me it was either this or spend twenty-three hours a day alone in a tiny cell slowly going crazy. I’ll just hope we run out of orcs before we run out of bullets and bombs and pointy things,” she joked.
