"Don't let it go to your head. It's big enough as it is." Rhade remarked. It was nice to be able to insult Dylan again. He did miss the camaraderie. But Telemachus knew, from where Dylan was, he probably reminded him a bit more of Gaheris than he was comfortable with. Not that he would say anything. That was for the Captain to work out on his own. He knew he would. He needed time. Dylan had 2 years to work it out previously. But Rhade's not that patient this time around. He'd give him time. Just not 2 years worth.

"I'd say I'm from CY 10091, but...I'm actually not entirely sure it's been an entire year and not just a few days." Rhade gave Dylan another look. He knew that sounded crazy, but Seefra was a crazy place. Time was crazy, the solar system was crazy, everyone on that hellhole of a planet was crazy. And you know what was even crazier? Harper arriving years before he did, Trance being there an entire decade and Beka only being there a couple of months. And people wondered why he drank all the time. Alcohol made things make sense. Or at least, he didn't have to think about it when he was drunk off his ass.

"I've been on your crew for the last 2 years. So yeah, I'd say I know you pretty well."
