Lt. Tear

 

She facepalme'd herself; not because of the lack of discipline among the members of her team, but rather, because of the stupid bitch that was already complaining. It was bad enough with the rookie, but couldn't she just simply shut the hell up and stay on her seat?


Tear was a woman easily annoyed by disobedience. They had told them to kill some time, and that was exactly what the team was doing. Yet there were Nina, waggering about some stupid sense of dutiness (maybe to herself). If you didn't like it, why'd you sign? Death is the biggest problem here. No harm in letting people have some fun before risking their lifes.

- Cool for you. If you're going to survive then, why are you complaining now? Don't be a spoiled bitch. - She replied, standing idly by, in a defiant way. - Just kill some fucking time. If you don't like it, go lock yourself in the bathroom or something.

Furrowing her brow, he added:

- Why are you so sure these people is going to get slaughtered? For all you know, they might be better than you.

Nina Ek

The reply was about what Nina had expected, a curt retort to mask any concern Lt. Tear had about the mission. Nina cursed her sudden outburst after being shaken by such bizarre events.  She actually respected Lt. Tear's steely eyes and her fierce will, but the lack of good sense to control people elluded Nina.  She could feel the antipathy dripping from each of Lt. Tear's words, with emphasis when "bitch" was uttered.  Escalating the matter would only lead to confrontation and there were too many variables on the ship to risk it.

Nina centered herself to remove emotion. Emotion kills the mind of reason her mother taught her.  Her pride could sustain such petty insults, the goal must always be survival.

She need not speak a word, locking eyes with Lt. Tear let them both know exactly where they stood.  Healthy dislike, but tinged with bits of mutual respect to thier character and ability.  Nina felt it best to remove herself, head to the kitchen and get a bite to eat and clear her head from the commotion.
