Drunks

I really do not like dealing with drunks. They are annoying at the best of times. The loud and belligerent ones are the worst for peacekeeping from my POV. They shout and think they are being quiet, and they get angry when you tell them they need to be quiet. They call you a liar for telling them they are loud and disturbing other people. Because they are just having fun, doncha know? But the people who just want to sleep are not having any fun at all. And they really will not listen to anything until they have had a chance to sober up in a few hours. So what do you do until then? Sometimes the police are the only answer. And that just adds a whole extra level of fun to the whole situation.

Jesse had six crazy idiots in his little band of misfits when we hit the Hyades. Rosalie and Rosalind came up with one new toy after another for them as the campaign waged on. The things they did changed the course of The War. Truly saved lives in ways no one else could have. A living bandage that eats infections as it cleans your wounds? Check. A vacuum-capable mask that breathes carbon dioxide and gives us oxygen in return? Yup. They even made a gengineered air sensor more sensitive than any tech the Western Alliance had that could warn us of Chinese or Shang bio or chem weapons. Their idiots got first shot at all these things, but they were quick to get the toys to me too. They saved me more times than I can count, even with my boots off.

Rosalie and Rosalind created so many amazing toys for Jesse and Dawn over the years. Dawn or Jesse would need something to do something, and Rosalie and Rosalind would come up with something that could do it. Now I’m not talking tech here. Not gadgets as most of us know them. They grew up gengineers, and they ended up creating organic tech that could do things no one thought biologics could do. Things no one could detect. That helped Jesse and Dawn do things and find things no one thought was possible. And every time we hooked up, they always made a beeline for my ship with a few new toys that would give me an extra edge when I came calling on the bad guys. Those girls were pure magic.

I really wanted Rosalie and Rosalind under me when they joined the Cowboys. But I also knew they were way too smart to be wasted in my space superiority team. That’s why I assigned them to Jesse James’ merry little band of misfits. Jesse had just the right mix of farmer logic and skepticism to be a natural spy if we’re being honest, and Dawn was a natural at ferreting out financial fraud. What Rosalie and Rosalind brought to the team was certified, absolutely genius-level intelligence. Even for us Ageless, they were just head and shoulders smarter than everyone. If they could think it, they could create it. They weren’t too smart to see the trees around them. And getting them on Jesse’s team meant they were on my team, so it was a win-win for everybody.

I was real happy to see Rosalie and Rosalind show up at Sunnydale. The Chinese shooting gallery was a whole mess of fun. And I was just happy to see my best friends again. Then I was overjoyed when they said they wanted to join my team. I remember Charles telling us that hugging fellow servicemen was not part of a normal welcoming ritual. Rosalind stuck her tongue out at him. He raised an eyebrow and walked away with a bemused smile. He knew I wanted them on my team. He knew they wanted to be on my team. He simply questioned whether or not that was a good idea. He was right to question it. I was right to want it. So were they. History would prove all of us right in the end.
