	That sounds... amazing. [ Yeah okay maybe he's geeking out a little here. ] Definitely better than picking through crime scenes four days after the fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The meeting the good aliens part sure, but the crime scenes could be rather... graphic. Moreso than any human scenes I ran across. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...I'm almost scared to ask but considering some of the things we've come across, I feel I have to. How bad can it even get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Martha shifts into a more professional mode. It's the only way she can talk about some of the stuff she's seen.] Have you ever seen a body that's been eaten by a wild animal? That but ten times worse. And... some of the ones who were tortured before they died. Those were pretty bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He wrinkles his nose. Is it bad that he can imagine this pretty perfectly? Probably, right? ] Maybe aliens and humans aren't too different. I've, uh... definitely come across something close to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Definitely bad.] ... Maybe not. I haven't dealt with many human crime scenes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's hope you never have to. Not to say that what you've dealt with isn't horrible, but... I don't know. It feels closer to home when it's a human. [ Any of them could do it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Martha gives him a pointed look.]

I'm fully aware of what humans are capable. But few races of aliens are wholly bad or wholly good. Just like humans. It's not good to have an us versus them attitude. [Things she's learned while traveling. She softens.]

But it's hard to think like that when we're from a time where we can't even see that in people of different races or religions. It's hard to believe people can treat other people the way they do. For me, it's hard to see how any living creature can treat others the way some do.

No, I know. [ His tone softens too. This is a sensitive subject to discuss and he only knows one half of it. ]

Maybe that's what I was getting at more... as humans you'd think we'd have more in common but maybe we're just wired to destroy ourselves any chance we get. Whether that's to... to kill someone to get an outlet for whatever psychotic break we're currently experiencing or driving inhumane politics.

	[Martha nods soberly.] I find when I get too depressed about the idea, I focus on the good ones. The ones who helped me when they had no reason to do so. Human and alien. More people help than don't, and that's what keeps me going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah... my mentor — Gideon — he told me something like that too after, uh... after I had a bad time. I was pretty new on the team, still. [ It was after his first kill but he's not too keen on divulging that much. ] You remember the ones you save. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-06-26 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	[Martha lifts her cup in a solemn toast.] To those we saved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-06-27 03:14 am UTC (link)
	To those we saved. [ Glasses clinked, this feels like a profound moment. He's not sure he has anything to say that wouldn't break the feeling. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You okay with ending this here? Because like Reid said, anything else would break the feeling. notrosesshadow 2016-06-28 04:05 pm UTC (link)

	Yes, that's fine! thisiscalm 2016-06-28 04:07 pm UTC (link)
