Not everyone is so fond of listening to wisdom and expertise.

Why so glum?

You are not going to be a very valuable trading card if you don't shape up.

@hydracomms.bsky.social You know kid you're not really pulling numbers

"Yeah I've only been telling them that since '53. Kind of them to finally listen." Had it been anyone but himself, Rufus would have been suspect of the change in circumstances. It would hard not to. But as it were he barley gave it a second thought. "We lost contact with a listening -

Christ almighty.

That just means I still get to push you more.

This Fred, I did find pretty surprising.

Everheart gonna vibe your ass for another morning of PT if you keep that up.

Why doesn’t that surprise me Fred?

Fred's never seen anyone vibing before.

As ever, Rufus is blown away by the skill and creativity shown by his fellow Gammas. They all make him so proud. “Unless I’m being lied to, yes really.” The relief he felt was palpable. A weight that had been crushing him the last half decade was lifted. He had purpose again. “I don’t know.-

His smile widens a fraction at her acquiescence. He moves behind her to get a better look at what she's working on. "I was cleared for an op in the field. Wheels up in two days." Not exactly galaxy shaping news, but it was the small victories that mattered.

Rufus gathered that some might take his joy with suspicion or as a sign of impending doom. He chose to not let it bother him or dampen his smile. “Only to talk. Perhaps share a piece of good news if you’ll allow me.”

He meets her scowl with an uncharacteristic smile that stretched from ear to ear. “It’s been a minute. Just wanted to say hi.”

He's resisted the urge to try and dent the bulkhead today. That's... progress. I guess.

There are many things I miss from the past, but to be honest Onyx isn’t one of them.

Please ignore the cast over his last arm. He doesn’t want to talk about it.

"Gotcha. It's a hard trade off to make. Nothing beats SPI at stealth but it's not as survivable as Mirage." Rufus placed down his mug onto the counter. He was done with it anyway. "Sure, I've got the time. Besides that sounds nice. You can regale me with stories of your heroics across the galaxy."

// Stupid promised, stupid delivered

“Me too. I don’t get to see the rest of us enough these days.” Rufus’s smile finally returns, albeit with a bit of a sad tint to it. It lingered for only a moment. “Do they still have you operating SPI or did they move you to something better? I know some of us are still using it.”

It’s fine. Everything is fine.

Brag about it.

// I have got the stupidest animation rendering right now for Rufus you would not believe

Running laps in the Atrium. Trying to keep his mind off things.

// Poor Rufus doesn't even know what's coming his way

#SeductiveSunday It's not all grump and snark with him. Just mostly.

"You should. It's important to take care of ourselves." Rufus could not help the frown that overtook his lips, try as he might to hide it with his own sip. "As busy as they'll let me be. Which isn't a lot or anywhere close to being enough."

// Replies hopefully this weekend. Medicine land has been very unhelpful with muses

Nothing that mean anything to you sir.

They just don't get it Kaja. They never will.

“It’s either being cold or burnt. I think it’s someone trying to mess with me at this point.” He spotted the frown and decided to not elaborate further. This wasn’t about his tales of woe. “Well either way, I hope they haven’t been running you too ragged. Even we still need time to recuperate.”

If you say so.

*A sigh* Why?

"That is until the day you're forced to stop. And let me tell you, from experience that isn't going to be a pleasant day." His smile falters a little which he tried to hide with another sip of his coffee. "I do. It's good coffee. Well above what I'm used to."
