Ryan stared around, trying to look unimpressed, and failing, in spite of his best intentions.
The place had obviously cost a fortune. Money that, in his opinion would have been better spent on more equipment.
“If you don’t like it, I imagine dead is still an option open to you, Captain,” sniffed Lester.
“I’ll pass on that one if you don’t mind, sir. Tried it and didn’t like it much.” By which he meant the dying. The dead bit itself had been fairly uneventful.
“You’ll find Hart upstairs. Make yourself at home, Captain Ryan. The rest of your men have.”

Date: 2008-08-02 09:28 pm (UTC)What I do think is, if we don't occasionally remember and deal with canon events of this kind, and their aftermath, we may risk devaluing the heroism and the fundamental character-traits that led to what they did (basically, Ryan's utter professionalism and courage and Stephen's love for Nick and sheer bloody-minded guts). Don't get me wrong, I lreally love Denial, and I think it's great we all have a place to go when we don't want to think about what happened to our favourites, but I never entirely forget the canon. Which is perhaps why I slipped up the other week!
Think I need to start a discussion on this somewhere - maybe at
