xenoqueen | aaaaaaaaaaaa phil + medic catch all

[Phil however, is losing his shit.]

Oh my god that guy would probably go straight to killing on the second loop.

Are you kidding me?! As if he didn't cause enough damage his first time around!

[thank you god for them finally finding common ground. She. Completely forgets about the fact Medic just asked a question.]

no seriously who is reagan

i dont really keep up with american politics

or

any politics

[Medic doesn't know a single god damn member of the German government and he couldn't care less]

Really? You never even heard of that "no new taxes" speech?

[Phil not everyone knows about that.]

He's a shitty President who used to be an actor.

when was he president because he may be after my time

I'm from 1972, remember?

[...Right. She forgot about that.]

Ah, sorry. The 20th century gets sort of mixed up for me. 22nd century, remember?

[shes not a historian]

Phil, when are you from?

February 2nd, 1993.

[Get it.]

... you know it never really hit me you’re from the future, Rips.

this president must really suck if you still think of him as one of the worst politicians two centuries later???

technically you're all from the future compared to me, unless someone here is from earlier than i am

Oh, believe me. If he was alive right now, he'd be pretty damn bad for all of us.

[Just. Gather what you will from that, Medic. She's not going to elaborate further because it's not fun and besides there's other stuff to talk about.]

What, the whole "I'm from the moon" thing didn't tip you off? Or the fact that I'm an aerospace engineer? Or the fact that I said I was drifting through deep space before this?

When does he die anyway? I need to know for when I eventually get out of this hell loop.

Look, I knew about it but it didn't really hit me until now, sue me!

First few years of the 21st century, I think. Thank fucking God.

[She would tell him the exact year but she doesn't actually know.]

Anyways, the 22nd century isn't all that different from the 21st century. Just with a lot more space travel and...tech, I guess. Medical care is a lot more efficient. We can grow you new organs, but only if you have the money to shell out.

oh please. i could grow you new organs with a few hours and some stem cells

and thats without my Medigun!

Great, you think you can grow me a new human heart then?

Maybe you can bring that tech to the 22nd century. If you can avoid the companies from finding out about it.

[because they'll definitely try to steal or destroy it.]

...Phil. If you grew another human heart, you'd have two hearts.

i'd prefer living in my own time being an advanced anomaly, but thank you

oooh i haven't tried giving people two hearts in a while! that'd be fun

[Phil is just... moving away slightly.]

I meant more that you should take the monkey heart out and replace it with a new human heart! I am begging you please do not put two hearts inside of me.

Y-Yeah, uh, if you do that, please don't give him two hearts. [She lowers her voice a little, whispering in Medic's direction--] I don't think he'd be able to handle more emotions.

[Yes she knows hearts dont store emotion sue her]

OH

I mean I could theoretically do that if you really wanted, but:

-heart surgery is complicated, there's a lot of risks involved with performing it in a less than optimal environment

-i have to rely on whatever supplies the staff give me. With the staff glitching out lately, I don't really trust that!

-My Medigun can't dull the pain as well as it normally could, or perfectly close your chest cavity back up afterwards. more room for error and a lot longer downtime while you heal

with all of the above the chances of you dying are higher than I'm willing to risk, especially since you're perfectly healthy now with the current heart :/ so if you really want me to swap your heart out then that's one more reason you need to survive and get out of here alive.

That doesn't sound too bad-

[Aaaand he gets to that last point.]

Fine, fine I can live with a monkey heart for a little longer, but the moment we get out I swear to god I'm getting a human heart again.

...Thanks for being reasonable and responsible.

[Like, she means it. But she's still sort of concerned.]

If you're still around when we get out of this place, I'd like to get my heart back, too. I think I'd have worried my wife enough for going missing for months on top of telling her I have a goddamn baboon heart.

Fine, fine. both of you get normal hearts back. but that also means you have to promise me that you're not going to do anything foolish and die while we're here :/

[When the time comes he'll definitely ask them again if they're absolutely sure they want to give up Temporary Invulnerability. But he'll keep his word if they insist.]

Thanks Medic. I'm sure I won't do something really stupid.

[Guess what? He's going to kiss you!

... He hates this he's trying to kiss Medic on the cheek and he can't see him.]

[Congrats! He missed! Luckily, Medic doesn't leave him hanging for long before he leans forward and kisses him on the lips briefly. There's... a very mild taste of blood, but it's fine. His lip stopped bleeding a while ago.]

C'mon, you've known me for three weeks. Do you think I'd do anything stupid?

[Ripley smiles a little, but then rolls her eyes when she sees Phil kissing the air. She scoots off of the bed, standing up and stretching. The chair that Phil had been sitting in before disappears.]

Anyways, if you need me, I'll be out in the hallway. I'll be standing guard in case anything goes down. Don't get too crazy in here.

[In a fake sarcastic voice.]

Oh don't worry Rips, we won't throw any wild parties while you're gone.

[Phil is just gonna grab a blanket now.]
