Reboot
Coric: You're pretty proud of yourself, aren't you?
Kix, applying a frozen hydropack to his swollen eye while grinning smugly: I am content, yes.
Coric: You do realize the black eye was pretty pointless right? The Intern and their buddies were already in hot water.
Kix: Maybe... But I needed to drive the point home. Those good for nothing shabuire were a menace, and I needed to make sure everyone could see how volatile they were.
Coric: Well, decking a medic for no apparent reason certainly does make the natborns look bad... How did you even get them to do that without baiting them?
Kix: Long-con. With batchers like mine, you learn to play a good manipulation game... Either way, I just hope the boys in engineering can salvage Buggy. Dogma has been... Pretty miserable.
Coric: I would be too, if my friend who should be safe at base was suddenly destroyed by a bunch of utreekove... -glances towards the door when he hears it opening up- ...Speaking of. Hello Dogma.
Dogma, seeming to be in higher spirits: Sir.
Coric: None of that, I'm off the clock. Just keeping an eye on this sheb'ika who went and got himself a shiner.
Kix: Hey Dogma. How did it go?
Dogma: Buggy has been successfully repaired and rebooted. There was some data corruption, but it wasn't as severe as I'd anticipated. He... He remembers we are friends.
Kix: That's great!
Dogma, smiling shyly: ... It is. It's been suggested that I move his recharge station under my bunk, so that I can keep tabs on his maintenance logs. Just in case any other files get corrupted.
Coric: It's ok to admit you're a little attached to the little guy. Either way, I'm happy that things have been resolved without too much injury.
