[camouflage]

I got something in the mail from home that got me thinking about a few things:

- Has anyone ever made it back to their own time/place?

- Has anyone ever escaped and been recaptured by the Moira? If they have, did time move at all while they were away from home?

If you don't know, I'm also curious about the general morale. Do you like/dislike the ship? Why?

Neither of us are.

[This is not the life they've ever been accustomed to.]

Next time we land on a planet that isn't entirely weird, let's get some shore leave in, alright? Go exploring and see what's out there.

[It might be fun.]

We could also run some drills or training scenarios in the simulation room. I haven't actually tried out the technology yet.

Sounds like a good of plan as any. [that, at least, he hadn't minded as much. getting onto solid ground, even if that ground was more like rickety settlements precariously balancing on little to nothing, had calmed him down after tumbling out of the ingress. he had been to clear his head and refocus his thoughts.

now he knew what those naval servicemen felt like being trapped on a boat in the middle of the ocean.]

I have. Well, once. It ended, uh... [poorly? oddly? what was the right word to describe a situation in which you had to stare down the thing you hated most and then be groped by a 20 year old?] It was interesting.

[Ocelot finishes his glass of water and gets a look in his eyes like he's had an idea. Which he has. And he has great ideas.]

I got an idea. A real test of your skill. We can't have you growing old and dull on this ship.

[Big Boss needs to remain in top condition to live on as the legend the world needs. That won't be done if he's not in practice.]

Yeah, this'll work. I'll call you when it's ready.

[he doesn't like that look in your eye when it's directed at him.]

Not sure I should be excited or wary about this idea of yours. [see? john knows adam will give whatever he's about to do a 110% of his considerable brain, and that scares him a little, considering what the simulation room can do.]

But I'm curious about what'll you get up to, either way.

[yer_pretty_good]

Someone's gotta keep you on your toes.

[They don't want him getting rusty. Besides, this job is dull enough that Ocelot can spend all his time thinking of ways to test John's skill. This could get a little out of hand.]

Just no vampires. [seriously, adam, once was enough.]
