No, but I didn't acquire my captaincy and posting in Imperial Security by being untrustworthy.

[dendarii]

I know you didn't. Just - god, you think I haven't thought about that? I just refuse to plan for that possibiliy.

[komarran]

If you want success, it's an eventuality you should be prepared for.

[dendarii]

There's no point in planning for failure. If I fail, I forget.

[komarran]

What are your current plans for success then?

[dendarii]

Work my ass off so I can wade into that political morass as best I can.

[komarran]

Is your research department bringing us closer to a solution for returning home, memories intact?

[dendarii]

Of course it is. But I can't help with that part.

[komarran]

No, but I was hoping for a progress report. It's of interest to me as well.

[dendarii]

Ah. Nothing since the last, then.

[komarran]

Wonderful. I had been hoping to give Ms. Goto better news.

[dendarii]

... Your girlfriend, right?

[komarran]

Yes, girlfriend. She's had some recent troubles with friends from home departing unexpectedly.

[dendarii]

Ah. Then I truly wish I had more comfort to offer.

[komarran]

If the situation changes, please inform me as soon as possible. You're not the only one wishing to preserve what's happened here.

[dendarii]

You love her, don't you.

[komarran]

And? If your relationship is none of my business, I hardly see how mine is yours.

[dendarii]

[ Ow. That stung a bit more than it should have. ]

... I was only curious. I'm happy for you, Captain.

[komarran]

[ Likewise had Miles' defensiveness from earlier. There was too much to lose from this place that it's put him at odds with his desire to return home. ]

Thank you. I'm treasuring the time I have here, however long it may be.

[dendarii]

Mm. As am I. We never know when one of us will be pulled away.

[komarran]

No. It makes it difficult to know what committments to make. I'd rather not break my word.

[dendarii]

... I say make them anyway. Either we'll remember or it won't matter.

[komarran]

It's been my approach thus far. It sounds as if it's been yours as well.

[ And perhaps even the Emperor's in a strange way. ]

[dendarii]

Only way to keep from going mad, I think.

[komarran]

That and floating government conspiracies. I'm not sure if I prefer an entirely incompetent one that made this happen on accident or one fully complicit in their actions.
