Earning respect as an Expendable in a place like Niflheim was deemed nearly impossible. Not only were you shunned by your fellow crewmates for your role on the ship, but it was rather dehumanizing to be sent out on suicide missions every week, then be recycled and reprinted from scratch— quite literally. Rotten apples, chicken bones, and other organic waste that you’d rather not repeat out loud. Then after you’d reprinted, you’d be tweaked and tested on for what seemed like hours until you were released, only to repeat the cycle again.

So it was a wonder to you when Nasha, a strong, will-minded and refreshingly beautiful security agent took an interest in you. Especially an interest so strong, that she’d patiently and eagerly wait for another copy of you to be printed out so the both of you could reunite again. This routine withstood a long-lasting and passionate 4 years.

You now sat beside your two comrades Jennifer Chilton and Kai Katz in the busy canteen. Kai may have thought she was good at concealing her romantic advances towards you, but she was sadly mistaken. Before you could politely decline her offer of a piece of her food, a voice announced itself from behind you.

“Hey, baby,” Nasha chirps, placing her tray in between you and Kai to create a distinctive distance. Kai’s once flirty grin faltered as Nasha wedged between you, taking your face between her hands to press kisses of greeting to your lips.
