[ It is out of nowhere. It's also almost perfectly timed considering what Bruce has been mulling over since they received the message from the Caduceans, but it's not going to change much. Bruce's mind is practically made up at this point, and it's not going to be a person he barely knows as it is that's going to talk him out of it.

Hell, not even his closest friend would manage to dissuade him right now. ]

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

[ Lay low and what? Leave the problem he caused for other people to solve? Yeah, he doesn't think so. ]

[soldiergenes]

[ Well, if that doesn't have dismissive written all over it.

Snake's aware that he isn't the best person to be tackling this conversation, but he also assumes that Bruce is already hearing it from those he calls friends. Which is why he's adding another opinion to the pile. The more people who tell him it's a dumb idea to turn himself over, the better. ]

I don't think it's just you that they want revenge on. They're pissed at the whole ship.

[hyperkinesia]

[ Bruce is a master at both dismissive and sarcastic in a myriad of formats. It doesn't take voice to convey tone, and his bleeds through the typed up words more than clearly. ]

I know they are. They're grieving and I'm sure that's making them more irrational than they'd normally be. But sitting around and waiting for a battle to break out doesn't sit well with me, either.

I'm going to try to talk to them, at the very least. Just talk.

[ Call it a little white lie, just because he has a feeling Snake won't get off his case about this. And he also doesn't need someone telling on him to the rest of the team. ]

[soldiergenes]

[ Snake speaks both dismissive and sarcastic, so it's really no surprise that he's picked up on the shade of the former even in a text conversation.

At least Bruce comes out with it after that, though Snake can already see the slippery slope forming here. ]

Do you really think they're going to be in the mood for a friendly chat?

You don't need to make yourself a martyr here.

[ Snake doesn't know all the connections between Bruce and his team, so he doesn't really have any plans to tell on him, at least. ]

[hyperkinesia]

I'm going to try anyway. And I didn't say anything about making myself a martyr.

[ Which isn't to say he hasn't thought it, but he's not going to admit to that, not to anyone. He wouldn't want anyone trying to stop him from going through with his plan right now. ]

[soldiergenes]

Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean you're not considering it. But they're not acting from a rational place right now.

Are you going to contact them remotely?

[hyperkinesia]

[ No Snake, he's just going to hop on a transporter and fling himself at the ship with no warning whatsoever because that can't possibly end HORRIBLY. I mean, just saying. ]

Why does it matter? Why are you asking?

[ Bruce feels rightfully concerned that Snake will try to hack the connection somehow. Which is hilarious because by now he should know who is far more likely to manage that. ]

[soldiergenes]

[ What's hilarious is that Snake couldn't hack his way out of a paper bag, so that's the last thing that Bruce needs to be concerned about. ]

Because while contacting them at all is stupid, handing yourself over on a silver platter is even more stupid.

[ If he has to be blunt, then fine, that's what he'll do. ]

[hyperkinesia]

[ Alas, Bruce doesn't always answer well to bluntness. Sometimes he appreciates the honesty, but considering this time it involves getting in the way of his (stupid) plan, that's definitely not the case right now. ]

Right. Duly noted. Thanks for the input.
