[Such is life with Catherine Halsey, sadly. She does it with everyone. At least they're not new to dealing with her?]
Noted. Although if something like that actually ends up on this ship, don't be too surprised if you end up locked up somewhere with Dr. Halsey and myself. [a less sympathetic frown.] Trouble by our standards would be enough to earn that, I'm afraid.

And two people capable of using a weapon is a lot better than just one. Especially if we can get into a proper position. [she shakes her head a little, pushing hair out of her face again.] Don't sell yourself so short because of one incident. The situation would undoubtedly be different.
[She adores your face, idiot.]

[The corner of her mouth twitches downwards at that, and she sighs quietly. Luck in staying in one piece isn't the best? She's well aware of that.]
It has little to do with luck, sir. With proper weaponry and positioning, the numerical odds would be in our favor. That's not luck; that's planning.
