[the Brigadier arrives on the plane during the middle of what, presumably, must be some sort of action scene! why is this? well, the fact he arrives mid-dive, and upon hidding the 'ground' lays there panting is one indication. another is the fact he's been shot in one of his shoulders, and said shoulder is being soaked with black blood - until it heals, anyway

a third thing is the futuristic gun he has with him, which to informed individuals is a laser rifle]



Didn't [a hiss of pain] expect the ambush. Damn.

[a nod from the floor] I'm fine.

[ghostlighter]

[Eyebrow quirk.] You sure about that?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Yes. [because his shoulder is healing up] Just a bit of blood.

[ghostlighter]

Blood doesn't just come from nowhere like that. [Although he looks interested in the black sparkliness of it, he's already see that type of blood. So.]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Took a shot to the shoulder; nothing severe.

[ghostlighter]

Nothing severe. But you were shot. ... Is the bullet out, at least?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Laser gun. No bullets.

[ghostlighter]

[more interested than disbelieving] Really?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[now that his breath is back, the Brigadier pushes himself to a sitting position] Mhm.

[ghostlighter]

Where do you get a laser gun? [Besides Fenton Works.]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Any planet with the technology?

[ghostlighter]

Planet. Don't tell me you're an alien.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

No. I'm human.

[ghostlighter]

[Just... quirks a brow. Waits for an explanation.]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

...Time travel. [pause] Space travel as well.

[ghostlighter]

[... and he grins a little.] That's cool.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

I take it the answer suffices?

[ghostlighter]

It's a pretty straight-forward answer. ... Although, that wound isn't going to get infected, is it?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head] I'll be fine.

[ghostlighter]

If you say so. [Offers a hand to help him stand up?]

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[he takes it, and stands. then he checks his shoulder, then back to Chris. then he offers his hand for a handshake] Lethbridge-Stewart.

[ghostlighter]

[Handshake is go.] Chris. I'm gonna go ahead and assume Lethbridge-Stewart isn't your first name.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

[ghostlighter]

Fair enough. [It's not as if Chris didn't omit parts of his own name.] Can I just call you Lethbridge or something, though?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

'Brigadier' will work.
