Yeah. We fully beat back the invasion... [ god. time. ] About two weeks before I got here. Earth's under galactic protection now. Impulse is there for good, though.

[ and because she knows this beck can probably do the math on dick saying his best friend died right before he got here and the invasion ending on her own ]

[uncurtained]

[She does, but she doesn't comment on it.]

Well, I'm glad. Alien invasions don't really sound like my idea of a good time.

[unpredicktable]

Try and imagine an alien invasion where the UN personally invited them because they've got good PR. That was the real nightmare.

[ dick can joke about it now but god he hates the reach ]

[uncurtained]

[After a brief, surprised pause:]

...And here I thought politics were bad where I came from.

[unpredicktable]

Something I've learned from actively staying away from them-- politics are bad wherever you are.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. As a matter of perspective, though, I can safely say we haven't reached the 'UN actively invites an alien invasion' level yet.

[unpredicktable]

Hey, like I said. Good PR. They didn't exactly know it was an invasion. [ ... ] And didn't believe the League when they accused those aliens of human trafficking.

[ IT WAS A TIME ]

[uncurtained]

See, it sounded more understandable until the second part, there.

[unpredicktable]

The Reach did have a solid alibi of not being the only alien species responsible for human trafficking at the time.

[ dick looks up at the ceiling ]

[uncurtained]

So you had your work cut out for you, is what I'm hearing.

[unpredicktable]

Kind of a permanent fixture of my life.

[uncurtained]

You ever think about what it would be like if you weren't constantly in danger?

[unpredicktable]

Maybe recently. But... I don't mind the danger part. For myself, anyway.

[uncurtained]

[She gives him a bittersweet smile. She thought that might be his answer.]

As long as it never gets to be too much, right?

[unpredicktable]

Well... I was born into being an adrenaline junkie, so it depends what too much means.

[ he's joking. ]

[uncurtained]

I feel like more dangerous than here is a pretty good place to draw the line.

[unpredicktable]

So you think I should call for a time-out if it ever gets worse than sex demons? Seems reasonable.

[ he wouldn't. ]

[uncurtained]

[She laughs a little.]

Yeah, I think that’s a reasonable time to tap out.

[unpredicktable]

I'll keep that in mind for when we get out of here.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. Every time I remember how close it is, it feels unreal... But I'll be glad to be home, too.

[unpredicktable]

Yeah. ... Me too.
