I'm from the 51st century, but I don't belong there any more than I do here.

I make a lot of mistakes, and sometimes I question whether I'd have ended up in charge if Alex hadn't eliminated all other options.

I'm afraid to let people get too close to me, because everyone's going to die on me some day, while I'll live forever.

[...shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. He's forgotten that Scotty didn't know that part either. This time it's not his fault, though. Damn community]

...yeah. I am.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Oh. [There's a long pause there. A very long pause.] I'm sorry.

[voice; locked]

[capt_greatcoat]

Yeah. So am I.

[His voice is gentle, as he asks the next question.]

How long have you been around, then?

[voice; locked]

[capt_greatcoat]

...well. With or without the time that I spent buried alive?

[Jack's never been very good at talking about this, but he's trying.]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

You-- Christ, Jack. [If only it were possible to send hugs through the community, Scotty would be holding onto Jack as tightly as possible right about now.] That's... I can't even imagine...

[voice; locked]

[capt_greatcoat]

No, I don't suppose you can. And you should be grateful for that... [Maybe Jack shouldn't say that it had been for over a millennium as well...]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Jack... [God, he's got no idea what to say.] I. I'm comin' down t'Cardiff, alright? Ten minutes.

[voice; locked]

[capt_greatcoat]

[he sighs] Yeah, alright. Ten minutes. I'll be in my office.

[voice; locked]

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I'm on my way.
