i was thinking tom. bob? no, not bob.

117.

Being a soldier just isn't being able to shoot a gun or yell orders. It's honor, duty and self sacrifice. You don't have to be in the military to be one.

[postscriptum]

Steve?

I like your definition, but why does there have to be sacrifice at all?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

One hundred seventeen. One One Seven. I'm not picky.

You need to be able to sacrifice yourself for the good of the mission and for those you care about.

[postscriptum]

I like Steve better. Looks a bit like seven, too.

Need to be able, maybe, but if you're good enough you can do the mission and save people and no one has to die, right?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Please, just call me Chief.

You just need to be prepared to make the sacrifice, if need be. I don't leave anyone behind.

[postscriptum]

Fine. [ you're no fun ]

You leave the ones making the sacrifice, though, don't you

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Sometimes, it happens.

[postscriptum]

Wish it wasn't necessary.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

It's a part of war.

[postscriptum]

Are we at war here?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Yes.

[postscriptum]

How do you fight an enemy you can't touch?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

That's what we're here to find out.

[postscriptum]

Well, let me know if I can help.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Do you have a resume to forward to me?

[postscriptum]

I'd have to write one, but the highlights include travelling through time and space with an alien

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Time is a new one.

The rest is common occurrence.

[postscriptum]

Time is the fun part, though.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

I don't think so.

[postscriptum]

What do you think is the fun part, then?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

I don't have fun.

[postscriptum]

Really? None at all?
That's sad.
We should fix that.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Not really.

[postscriptum]

Yeah, we really really should
