I'm just going to assume this is Hux, what do you need?

Are you worried?

The Admiral made it sound like bringing people back from being dead is a thing that ain't infinite, either.

[onlyeverdoubted]

Sounds restful? But. Um. It's sort of hard to be meaningfully worried about when we fly into someone else's life every few weeks.

[tucky]

But that ends. We know it does.

[onlyeverdoubted]

And I have a very hard time believing this isn't the same as every other time the admiral puts on a performance of helplessness to watch us squirm.

[tucky]

You think he's just trying to fuck with us, to teach us lessons or to see what we do?

He was telling people he doesn't control breaches. I don't think I believe that. If he doesn't, someone does.

[onlyeverdoubted]

Simplest explanation is he's just lying, but being someone else's pawn is always a possibility.

[tucky]

If he's lying, I think he thinks he's doing it for our own good, and that's some dangerous shit.

[onlyeverdoubted]

Even that might be giving him too much credit. But. Tip from one who's lived his entire adult life this way, less the bit with the turning rebel and immediately dying?

[Which is probably more about himself than Bodhi's ever said to her.]

If the choice is between being dead and taking a job, the job's not with the good guys.

[tucky]

I've known him for a long time. As much as you can know the Admiral, anyway. I don't know if I think it gives him credit, but I do think he believes he's doing good things.

[onlyeverdoubted]

Nobody who doubts they're doing good things is in charge of anything.

[tucky]

You know what, Bodhi? I think that's the wisest thing I ever heard you say.

[onlyeverdoubted]

Well, I say a lot of shit. Law of large numbers, some of it has to come out profound eventually.
