T-13
"So..."
What is it, they have to pay by the word for conversations or what ...
My butt is asleep again.
"T-13. Do I call you T, or Mr 13 ..."
Sheesh. New guys.
"So, what were you, Ranger? SEAL?"
"Bubblehead"
What the fuck is a bubblehead?!
"Um ... bubblehead?"
"Submariner. As opposed to 'Target' "
"Target?"
"Surface ship, you know. Target."
Is that a hint of a smile?!
"So ... is a T-13 some arcane weapon?"
"No, my name."
"Your parents hated you?"
"No, my name starts with a T, and has 13 letters. It is Dutch and the DI couldn't figure out how to pronounce it, so he started calling me T-13."
"Well, I guess that makes sense."
"Yup."
Well, that took 5 minutes. 2 hours to go.
*sigh*
