On this tour, we've actually had cots to sleep on. It's unusual on ships for us to have many places to sleep besides slumped in a corner. We "hot-bunk" alot. So no matter what, the bed has been slept in before you. It doesn't bother me. As long as there is a cot where I can rest my head after a long battle, I don't care which of my brothers has been in it before me.

This reminds me of my father, grandfather, and brother-in-law talking about serving on a crowded Navy vessel! grin

Thank you! It's an homage to my late uncle who served on subs. He always talked about sleeping in a bunk someone else had been in.

Great job so far! But I cannot help but ask, what happened to all the missing droids?


I just used it as an analogy for the wild goose chase which is this war. So, we may never find out.


Ahh, very kool!
Great job there. I always think about things too literaly.

Entry 8

Where do GAR troops go when they are severely injured?

We talk. It's just the human condition. Rumors spread so fast in the ranks that there is no way to keep track of what is truth and what is fiction. I'm not sure I can keep track of what goes on in my team, let alone with the other groups.

So I really have been thinking about this subject. I know they don't ever come back, but are they returned to Kamino for repairs? I can't imagine investing so much time and money in the GAR and then not keeping them up. There has to be someway to repair us. I know we aren't machines, but sometimes it's hard to work out exactly what we are.

I know there is not a way to save every clone. I've seem them laying on far too many battle fields to not know this to be true, but what about those who could be saved by a major surgery?

I sometimes dream about clones I've seen taken away. Maybe the dreams are about me. We all have the same face. Where are they now?

Some questions in life better remain unasked.

I sometimes dream about clones I've seen taken away. Maybe the dreams are about me. We all have the same face. Where are they now?

I fear he will his questions get answered in a way he does not like.

You don't want to know, trust me. cry

I know there is not a way to save every clone.

Of course not, but you could certainly save more of them. not_talking
I am not sure I want him to find out what happens to severely injured clones. *thinks of Fi* worried
