Re: Marty and Robert
"That's an understatement," he muttered. He didn't consider himself spoiled, but he liked the good things in life, and he liked that he could afford them when he wanted them. The fact that he didn't have them at the base was a simple temporary situation. Here at Omega, it was semi permanent and he didn't like. "I miss my plane too. We need to get one of those."
Robert snorted. "Yeah, I've notice, and I'm sure she would offer, and I appreciate that very much, but I think I can buy my own stuff. It'll go much faster without her." And quieter, but he didn't say that aloud. "I'll just wait for that salary to come in and buy what I need. I can't possibly wear my APO jeans for work. All those buttons are platinum. I'd have to kill anyone ruining them. It takes forever to get a new pair, you have to order them, there's a waiting time. You'd think that the 5K price tag, they wouldn't make you wait, but alas, they do."
