The Gaian and the Cop

[Victor Steiner]

'' The ''what if'' line of thought is second only to the ''what is'' line of thought. That is to say, what if I didn't respond to the call for feild doctors on Leeds? what if I didn't join up and instead went to trading or piracy? The answer is of course, I don't know. No one does, what is, is the fact that I did join up. I did become a BPA officer. ''What if'' is a rather pointless question really.'' He paused to look at her with a smile ''Where am I going?, that is much more sensible''

- Indeed. - she sipped her drink. - Do you know where you are going, John? Do you know where you want to go?

''No Idea. How about you?''

---

[TheSauron]

- I don't know. I just hope I can achieve what I want to achieve on my way there. And that it's not a bad place.

''No, its not. No shame in that goal love, do your best. That's all anyone can ask.''

---

[TheSauron]

- Indeed. Though, you should think of where do you want to go, John. Going through your life without a purpose is a waste.

''Que sera sera, what ever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, que sera sera.'' he sung quietly before remaining quiet for a moment. ''I have an Idea of where I want to go, trouble is, life tends to get in the way a bit. But that's alright, i'll keep trucking, see what happens.'' He paused, uncertain how to continue.

[TheSauron]

- I hope that you'll manage. - she replied, taking a sip of her drink.

''As do I. Although I admit that your life seems to be one of constant warfare, do you not desire somthing else?''

---

[TheSauron]

- Sometimes I do. But there aren't many people willing to pick up the mantle. I don't blame them, though.
