Let's be honest, training can only really carry you so far before you manage to get out of your depth, so I'm glad to see you managed to make it out.
[ He knows better than to prod too deeply, recognizing that expression on her face. He's seen it all too many times before, both in the mirror and on the faces of his fellow veterans.
He nods, conceding that point. ]
That's true, but sometimes you just have to keep trying, you know? Even if you don't know the outcome.
You and me both, but we always seem to be out of our depth in bioterrorism. They're always developing something newer, more effective, and more difficult to destroy. It's why we have teams... Partners.
[She's glad he doesn't pry. Talking about bioterrorism as a whole is easy enough, but to delve into the gory details is never really a pleasant trip down memory lane.</small]
Agreed. I'm not usually one to give up. It's not in my nature.
[Add the fact that they’ve just discovered that one of their funding sources was actually producing these bioweapons and they have quite the party.]
I’m not quite certain I make it. Someone from my future, or another parallel universe’s future, tells me I live… But I can’t be certain. I’m not willing to risk the fate of the world on a maybe.
Sheva Alomar, and likewise. You should definitely make it down here so we can compare shots. [That sure is a bit of playful challenge in her voice. A smile too.]
[ That... sounds complicated, but Sam's already getting used to how time and alternate universes seem to work around here. He nods. ]
Only thing to do is keep trying, I guess. Things will unfold the way they will, but it won't hurt to do your best anyway, right?
[ That startles a laugh out of him. ] I'd like that. It's been a while since I've been to an actual shooting range. Don't hold it against me if I'm a little rusty, okay?

Yeah, you definitely need support in that kind of thing. That's not something you can even think of handling on your own.
Good to hear. Always nice to meet someone who's determined. My name's Sam Wilson, by the way. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

If I can help from here, then that's what I'll do. If I can do that while helping others, then all the better and worthwhile.
[Sheva straightens out something on a shelf before grinning over at him.] I'll go easy on you then. [That's a lie, but she's certain he'll be okay.]

Sounds like a good plan to me.
[ But really, those are fighting words. ] Oh, is that how it's going to be?
no subject
Seems to be working so far. [That next bit earns him a chuckle. Oh yes, that's exactly how it's going to be Sam.]
I've been told that I have a tiny sass problem.

A MILLION YEARS LATER...
[ ooc: HELLO, I'M SORRY FOR DISAPPEARING /o\ Would you prefer to continue or just handwave things and get these two doing something else? ]
YOU'RE FINE
[ooc: We can move on to something new. Maybe they can run into each other at the carnival?]
