Would your SC risk their own life to save a stranger?

That's in their job description, quite literally, they are soldiers after all.

931. In your MC’s opinion, what would be the worst way to die?

Without purpose, if it was avoidable or unnecessary. Basically for the dying person everything is bad since they die. Similar question popped up before night have been SC I don't remember...

932. Share three facts about a favorite SC with us.

I usually don't play favorites so much so I deal with random.
The D30 Deathnote oracle has its third use today with 13.

Kiara Johnsen (KJ). The late wife of AJ, that shares my look and apparently can time travel or return from the dead? If the scene with Chief Crosby was real?

Has your SC ever quit a job? What were the circumstances?

In most cases there is no need for that in the Union, people only have to work 2-3 days in an 8 hour shift or 4-5 days on fewer hours, there are people that work 40-50 hours but only out of passion. Since universal income & upper income limits exists people do not take jobs to exist but to participate in society & thrive.

Silas Crosby left the Alliance active service do to having a child. But she didn't stoped working for them.

Mondira possibly could have, on Eodin, since Eodin isn't in the Union & has a capitalist society like we do today (a bit better, they aren't completely idiots in Eodins Government) but Mondira is simply to young to have had any job, she went from school to military service for "an hostile" force how Mondira's "proud Rim" Mother would say. As a child she helped cleaning the Barber shop of her parents. But that wasn't a real job.

SC POV: Do you worry about what the future will bring?

Resist! Do not take any of the newly added 9 single chapters characters, it's a waste...,...

Silas Crosby: "Of course I do why would I otherwise reenter
military service? Our galaxy is on the brink of an full blown invasion through an enemy that doesn't even care to communicate with us. They just kill, someone has to stop them."

⬅️ not zero."

Silas didn't really liked the idea.
"Why?"

"The analysis of our prior interactions show a high emotional delight if I answer in a way that meets the criteria of 'not knowing basic expressions.' I thought this might be a situation in which such an action could help."

"So you made yourself look a bit of a fool to brighten my mood?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I... Don't want my crew to feel bad. It makes me feel... pain..."

"I felt pain as I read the question."

"I am... sorry."

"It's not your fault, you just run the algorithms on a 'subconscious' level."

"Yes, but I feel... guilt."

"Me too, Ash, me too." Silas answered in a somber tone.
She whipped her face. "Thank you for the attempt of cheering me up. I appreciate the thought."

"Can I invite you to banana chocolate pancakes with maple syrup? I tweaked the recipe."

Silas thought about he whole situation for a moment before she sighed: "Well... why not?"

SC POV: What is your darkest childhood memory?

1/2
Silas saw the psychological survey question on the projection of her Holo. She gave a spiteful growl, as her eyes narrowed, she than grabbed the 'sheet' of light infused plasma and crumbled it into a ball. She screamed and threw it across the room. Tears in her eyes.

"Chief Crosby," Ash's voice came from some speaker: "I registered your tonal shifted voice. Are you okay?"

Silas swallowed: "Sorry Ash, I just couldn't handle my emotions."

"Do you wish to talk to someone?"

"No I'm fine, I just needed to let out some steam."

"I do not register higher humidity in this room? Venting the room to lower its moisture levels is not advisable in outer space."

Silas chuckled involuntary it just was such an childlike answer.
"Ash aren't you programmed with the majority of Terran expressions?"

"I am."

"Did you just troll me to make me chuckle?"

"The possibility of this is ➡️

threat." She paused. "It'sa service that our ruling council rold out half a century ago. Every one gets one free, more cost more. That's why'i only have'er. Well after the mission, ifi return home, I'can rent some more compute. Making'er better or get some more fam' back."

SC POV: If you could communicate with the dead, who would you chat with?

1/2
Silas Crosby: As much as I would love to see my late husband again or talk to them I wouldn't. AI programming to create a husk of a loved one, that is build to sound like them, is a toxic betrayal, aimed at vulnerability of people that lost someone & luckily outlawed in the Union. The dead are dead and part of grieving is to learn to keep the memories and plant them around the hole they left in your heart."

Mondira Ramann falling into kinda slurred speak pattern that is usual on Eodin: "What dy'ou meen, ifi cood?" She opens a Menu on her Holo that looks like an installation folder. "Here I stopd'er, that's GrA.nnI. the A.I. of my Bignana." Ifi ever feel 'lone i could ask'er or tawk to'er well at home.
With more sharp pronounciation: The Alliance counts such A.I.s a security ➡️

Silas & frightening

Silas opened her eyes, something was very of. It felt like everything was slightly tilted to the side and gravity couldn't resist to tilt as well. She couldn't remember how she got here. In front of her was a eerily castle, no a house. It shifted its size got smaller Silas could have sworn. She realized that she wasn't in her uniform, it looked like a cheap Kigurumi or a animal costume, but it felt like standing up to the neck in warm worms or being surrounded by eels. She tried to get out of that costume but she couldn't. Her fingers where numb inside the gloves of the costume giving her paw like hands. She wanted to scream but their was a mask preventing her from it. It blocked her jaws from moving but... something in side the costume moved... It felt like a giant tongue.
Silas screamed.

753. Where do your SCs feel the happiest?

Most with their Families and loved ones at home or doing the job they feel "called for" this is a remaining artifact concept from the German Beruf.
Work you do or "a job" but comes from "die Berufung" which means "call to be a" _____ literally the same like in "call to be an epic mage that safes the world" "call to be the fates chosen one" etc.
Yes German work culture was and in sadly only parts is way more than the stuff you do to survive or make money to survive. But the concept was taken on by terrans and other union species.

754. SC POV: Do you have children? If not, do you want to have children someday?

Security Chief Silas Crosby: "A daughter her name is Denise she and her families are the reasons I am still a soldier despite surpassing my 50."

XO Jenkins: "No childrens are not part of my or my husband's plan."

XO Troika: "3 daughters."

SC POV: If you could master one skill you don't have, what would it be?

Mondira:"You know I'm not bad with Xeno topics like history and hopefully after the mission I have enough material for my dissertation but what I really fear of all this topics Xeno Anthropology. I am good at it but ... Not really good you know? This bit is missing that people say 'damn she is good'. That is missing..."

Silas:"I'm not so good with socials, especially not since Anika went MIA, I have a hart time connecting with my daughter because she doesn't understand why I work in this field. She understands that soldiers are needed but she thinks I should care more for my family. I left active duty as I became pregnant with her & stood by her side til she married with 22.
Than I went back to duty. I hope after this mission I can learn o speak differently with her... "
