MHA #10 - Monday Afternoon

[notagoose]

Goose had been handwavily called back home last week to help provide security for a Thanksgiving event that some senators had and he hadn’t been able to get out of it with both his dad and Captain Foxx threatening to both court martial him and send him on a tour of Pluto.

He was glad to be back home and once he put his things away he sat down to go through his news feed.

"And somehow," Ignis noted, with his own soft smile, "I feel that even if you were to be stationed there, the action would still manage to find you regardless. Not that I'd want this theory to be tested, of course. I much prefer you not being stationed on Pluto."

“Honestly with my track record it probably would,” Goose agreed and gave a laugh at that, “there would probably be a lot more explosions than Pluto is used to seeing,” he added, pausing for a moment, “and I am glad to not be stationed on Pluto, as much as I’m sure there are others back home who’d love to see me put away,’ he shook his head, “did I ever tell you about the time that Wheiner wanted me arrested when Killbane impersonated me and broke into Longshot? Even though I was at BETA at the time of the break in,”

"If you have," said Ignis, finally setting to moving toward and about the kitchen to see to dishing out and reheating a few plates of the food for them, neatly and orderly and with only a few minor missteps on the location and distance of things, "it will have been a while, and I could doubtless use a refresher..."

And even if he did recall, perhaps he just wanted to enjoy listening to the sound of Shane's voice for a bit.

“It was still in the early weeks of the Series 5 program,” Goose explained as he followed Ignis to the kitchen, “Killbane was after this device called Mindnet, it was a telepathic device that in the wrong hands could be dangerous, he impersonated me to get access to Longshot but it was Icarus and Winter who noticed that something was wrong and that tipped off security but Killbane got away before they could stop him,” he shook his head at that, “naturally Wheiner did everything he could to make it like I’d betrayed the Galaxy Rangers, even though I’d taken the oath, I wouldn’t have betrayed that … thankfully Captain Foxx stood up for me, Wheiner even wanted Zackery to be the one to arrest me,” Goose scoffed at that.

"It seems to me," Ignis noted, dredging up that wry tone again, "that this Wheiner character could stand to get himself a few hobbies, perhaps find a more productive use of his time than seemingly finding ways to paint targets on your back. Is he like this with any of the other Galaxy Rangers? Or do you have the distinct honor of being a singular focus for his misplaced ire? Perhaps something to do with your position as a supersoldier, or your past with the Wolf Den?"

There was, then, a hesitant pause as Ignis seemed to consider something, and then he asked, "What have you got for beverages?"

The hesitation, in truth, was him thinking of just rooting around the fridge to find out for himself, but he thought much better of it, his appreciation for efficiency managing to eke out a spot in front of his now endless drive to prove himself just as capable as ever.

“Niko is sometimes his target, she’s a psychic and there’s a lot of distrust about them as well outside the Galaxy Rangers but it’s not anywhere like it with me,” Goose explained softly, “I think it’s because I’m the reminder of how Wolf Den failed and Wheiner wants to try and bury his involvement,”

Goose paused as went over to the fridge, he wasn’t entirely sure what he had beverages, “I’m not entirely sure,” he admitted as he V opened it to have a look, “I have some juice?”

He did really need to go shopping for food.

Ignis had a very important follow-up question:

"And how long," he asked, "do you suppose that juice has been there?"

Goose started to look very sheepish, “um I’m not entirely sure,” he admitted, “I think it might have been there for a while?”
