Hello! Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you are reading this.
Seeing your Monkey Wrench zombie AU made me wonder: between Shrike and Bulldog/Beebs, who is the one who handles himself better in terms of being under stress in a tense and serious situation? And above all, how were the opinions of the two of them regarding the virus between when it began with the first cases of infection until today when, well, apparently they have already gotten used to this environment of survival? If there was any change in their opinions regarding this whole situation in the galaxy, of course
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE ASK!! ☆☆
TRANSLATION FOR MY TERRIBLE HANDWRITING UNDER THIS!!! <3
1) I think in tense situations Beebs definitely handles his stress a lot better. Shrike tries his best, but when things get life-threatening he becomes a mess. He's capable of defending himself of course! And he knows what he's doing! But I think sometimes he doubts his own capabilities. :(
2) I'm trying to align with the canon of the show, and the virus starting appearing shortly after the Cataclysm event, and the infected Agari began to spread it throughout the Galaxy. I think at the point it breached containment, and L.A.W became unresponsive, Shrike didn't believe it at first, while Beebs was more concerned.
3) I think Shrike didn't take it very seriously until the incident with Tyneen. (I did a little comic about it in a previous post!!) And after that, he set aside his interest in Terran stuff out of disdain for the destruction they caused. As for adapting? I think they're doing fine... but it could be better.
4) And Beebs is pretty disappointed in L.A.W for their disappearance, arguably maybe even angry with them. I think after losing his eye he became less willing to goof off and have fun like he used to. He's a lot more serious now.
