Gaheris Rhade

Our people were meant to be living gods, warrior-poets who roamed the stars bringing civilization, not cowards and bullies who prey on the weak and kill each other for sport. I never imagined they'd prove themselves so inferior. I didn't betray our people – they betrayed themselves.

[Today is a very special sort of day. Because Rhade also had a cursed object, only he didn't realize that it was one of his leather jackets. His plan to go to the CES is somewhat hindered by a sudden inability to think up a lie.

He's on his way there, anyway, not realizing yet that how exactly the flood has caused this. He knows that he needs to check up on Ben, because whatever was happening there was really.... strange. Just strange. Basically somehow candy has made Ben act slightly creepier than usual.]

OOC: So, for the first time ever on spontaneous whim I'm doing a truth thing with Rhade. He won't ramble on the network but if he runs into someone he will.

Commander Charles Tucker III: Suspicious.

What was it for? [Although he regrets the question almost as soon as he asks it.]

I don't know if you really want to know about this, but it's for your daughter. Your as in plural. She is going to die and my deal will save her life.

[Your daughter.

Everything pretty much stops at this point, because it's just way too much new information, and he has no idea how to process it.

Their daughter. He and T'Pol were married, and they had a daughter, who was dying.]

What?

What I said.

...Human beings can be terrible people, sometimes. Especially xenophobic ones.

What did they do to her?

[It's weird, that he's immediately defensive of someone he's never met and probably won't for a while, if ever, but the way Rhade says it makes him immediately angry, because it's not just an illness or something they couldn't change - it's something other people did. And that's just disgusting.]

She wasn't well designed. [He says it like it's appalling, and it is. To a Nietzschean, using DNA without someones permission is unconscionable.]

You and T'Pol weren't involved. You just took responsibility for her, while you could.

Commander Charles Tucker III: You keep using that word.

Hell. [Trip runs his hands over his face, confused and overwhelmed and still pretty angry with whoever was responsible.] Sorry, that's... a lot to take in.

Understandably. There's a lot more coming out of my mouth than I expect. But this ship was badly affecting her and it was for the best if she returned home.

She couldn't take it anymore. Neither of you could. This place is a cesspool, ranging from torture to mind control to rape. [That's blunt honesty that Rhade would have said without any flood effects.] The difference between this and fleet service being that you are completely helpless to do anything about it here.

I don't know what to say.

[But he definitely sounds appreciative, even if he's still floored and confused and just. He really doesn't know how to handle it.]
