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*
