Does that bar still offer free drinks?

	Damn good to see you, too. I've been good, keeping busy. What about you? You said something about a galaxy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a very, very long story. Extremely short version: I died, got brought back after two years, then I think I died saving the galaxy. The end part's a little fuzzy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Someone brought you back? After two years? Daaamn. Not that I'm not happy you're here, but I'm sorry you went through that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Brought back" might be the wrong way to put it. I was rebuilt over two years by a human supremacy-oriented terrorist group. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rebuilt? Do you mean like genetic reconstruction, or like bits and pieces rebuilt? I really hate supremacists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You'd have to ask the scientists that. I wasn't exactly awake to find out.

I do too, but they were right in this case. Human colonies were going missing and the goddamn bureaucrats wanted to do nothing but argue about whether it was even worth investigating.

Learned my lesson, though. I cut ties from them when their big boss discovered I wasn't going to compromise my ideals for the sake of technology.

	Sorry, yeah, you don't need to get into that anyway. Amazing how much damage bureaucrats can do, isn't it? Still, they didn't have to go bringing you back unasked to do it. At least, I'm assuming unasked. You didn't leave some contract around asking for it, did you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack n7_spectre 2012-04-12 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Not that I know of. I think I would've remembered making a contract like that. Terrorists or not, they gave me the resources to put a stop to the abductions when the Council didn't, and eventually the abductions would've hit other species. We were just the first. Something about genetic diversity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably just a tad memorable, yeah. Were they collecting "samples," then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack n7_spectre 2012-04-12 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Not exactly. They were harvesting humans. We took out their baseship from the inside, and it was... I saw things in there nobody should have to see, Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jane timeaftertime 2012-04-12 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Shit. That kind of collecting. I really hate that shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turns out genocidal machines bent on wiping out all organic life in the galaxy will do some pretty horrific things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jane timeaftertime 2012-04-12 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, believe me, I'm very familiar with the type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack n7_spectre 2012-04-12 04:01 am UTC (link)
	The thought that somewhere out there are more giant machines hell-bent on harvesting organics isn't very comforting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jane timeaftertime 2012-04-12 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that really wasn't comforting, sorry. Not-so-giant machines, in my universe and some similar ones, but still... I've been a bit too up close with them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
