[Tenth] - I Have Learned

[Over the phone, this is backdated to yesterday evening, after Kallen's droning.]

My… my hand. They took my hand.

It can't… there's--there's no way…

The Guren. I can't--can't be a pilot like this…

Dammit. I still--

I still… dammit, dammit…

. . . is that what they're doing to punish the so-called subversives here? How inelegant.

[radiant_will]

Looks like it. There's someone else who had a hand taken, too.

[rulethegame]

Looks like we're all going to have to be more careful. Then again, I was never a fan of following the rules.

[radiant_will]

Same with me. That's how I wound up like this.

...took it? You mean as a punishment? [Oh, that has pleasant implications. Dias has been grudgingly compliant so far - mostly for a lack of ideas in how to effectively rebel - but suddenly he's feeling rather cautious.]

[radiant_will]

That's right. It's… not exactly what I was expecting.

[the_bloody_road]

What were you expecting?

[radiant_will]

To be droned, at least. Maybe killed.
