Good or bad, it’s all playacting.
If you act well, you can fool other people;
if you do it badly, you can only fool yourself,
and when you can’t even fool yourself,
you can only fool the ghosts.

cdc au cuz why not

( trading one evil, power-hungry master for another was not what sarra had had in mind when she signed her contract. destroying worlds, killing people, committing genocide against entire species... she can see the benefit in clearing out detritus, that the old must make way for the new, but this... this isn't how it should be accomplished. killing millions and destroying whole worlds because someone has decided that they're just so much cosmic garbage is beyond even her, no matter how willing she is to make deals with the devil to keep those she loves safe.

it's unsurprising, then, that she's ended up here. a wide swath of the crew has been deemed unsatisfactory, and there are consequences, in the cdc, for doing unsatisfactory work. some people have talked about the last time this punishment was enacted, but it was before sarra's time, on the training planet, and then only used against a small section of red team.

she's not afraid to die, at least. if it has to happen now, at least she didn't let herself bend to the whims of yet another cosmically evil entity beyond her ken.

there's no way of telling what will happen while she's suffering, though. sarra's never endured prolonged pain, and has no idea if she can keep herself under control while she does. with that in mind, she's wandered far from camp, looking for an area without vegetation, where sparks won't cause a fire. no sooner than she's found it, though, someone's come to intrude on her solitude, and sarra frowns, waving the stranger off. )

Hey, you don't want to be here. Find somewhere else, this spot's taken.
