Happy 31st birthday to Elemental! I will forever love the freedom, power, and introspection (tinged with occasional melancholy and regret) of this album.

April 13, 2558

Her birthday falls on a Thursday this year. Like always, she wants it to pass without fanfare. Not like that her job's been boring lately; Palmer would welcome something going right for a change.

It'd been a hard year already and any celebration would feel wrong. Requiem. Halsey. Ealen IV. DeMarco and Bailey. Oth Lodon. She may have told Tom to call it a rough day and move on, but so many rough days in a row felt like bad luck. Not that she was the superstitious type, but once a helljumper... Strange she felt this way now, so long *after* having jumped out of ships in a metal coffin.

The amount of time spent docked for repairs just felt like icing on the cake. The Infinity's luck hadn't run out yet. Damn she needed a drink that'd do something. Getting morose and mopey in her old age.

She was the Spartan Commander of the biggest baddest ship around, but they had both taken their knocks recently. The Infinity had just finished receiving repairs. Luna loomed in the viewport, but she wouldn't be making a home visit this time. Their location was still classified half the time she lined up calls and he understood.

They had a system and she called home when she could. He had been in the Corps. He knew.

The call goes as usual. A check-in, comments on how tired she looks, stories traded, emotions side-stepped. Her hazard pay was keeping his retirement comfortable enough, even though he said he didn't want it, didn't need to be so soft. She snorts at his language even as her eyes catch new lines in his face and more gray around his temples.

He catches her smirk falling and prods and she fires back with a question about his hair being regulation, marine. It would usually work, but it's her birthday.

"You're eating enough, right?" He coughs awkwardly. "They feeding you more steroids and robot parts?"

"And all the nutrient paste I could ever want, Dad." She sighs.

"Well, I always wanted you to grow up big and strong." He grins.

She crosses her arms and leans back in the chair, foot pushing against the desk as she takes in the way he looks in the video call. Her smile doesn't quite reach her eyes. "No one bigger or stronger, they made sure of that."

"Happy Birthday, Sarah."

"Thanks. It's good to see you."

"Don't be a stranger."

"No sir."

The call ends and she looks at her reflection in the dark screen. Augmented eyes catch every mote of dust, every imperfection and scratch in the screen, and the way her reflection's jaw is so tight it could bend steel.

Palmer looks away and scowls at the ceiling instead. She's logged too much time in Wargames recently anyway; Roland would lock her out, or worse, tell Tom and then he'd come look at her with his sad face and invite her to drink scotch that does nothing for her anymore.

A knock on her door has her drop her foot and the chair beneath her falls flat back to the floor. She eyes the threshold with some ire, but the faint nervous shuffling outside her door is familiar.

Speak of the Devil.

Her door slides open with a hiss and she fills the door frame as she leans on it. Despite her mood, she is glad to see him though she would be loathe to admit it to his face. "Captain Lasky, what a surprise."

"Commander Palmer, may I come in?" His arms are full with a bag in one hand and a ridiculous alien looking bottle in another.

"Fine, what's the occasion?" She pushes off the door frame and gestures for him to follow.

"Sarah, we've known each other how long now?" He sighs.

The sad face with the eyes makes an appearance and she looks away as she scowls. "Five years, but who's counting?"

He sets the bag and bottle on the table, pulling out a new bottle of good scotch from the bag along with some glasses. Tom catches her looking with open curiosity and smiles.

"A birthday gift, and thanks." He says, gesturing to the scotch. "And this is a gift from the Sangheili delegation. Apparently it is strong enough to get a Spartan drunk."

"The hingeheads have booze?" She hefts the bottle up to look at the label. "Irukan spirits?"

"Grain alcohol, alien grain alcohol." Tom says as he uncaps the scotch and pours them both a healthy amount.

"The Swords gave us alien moonshine?" She tilts her head. Now she's interested.

"Gave you alien moonshine. I'll stick to the scotch." He hands her the glass and brings his own up for cheers.

She takes it with a smile and clinks their glasses together. "Pussy."

Tom chuckles into his glass and drinks. She copies, and damn it, it is good scotch. The kind a captain of a starship can afford. Probably aged longer than she's been alive or some shit.

"Happy Birthday Sarah." He says as he takes a seat and undoes his collar. Slumping down into the chair, he seems tired. Tom looks like she feels. He had his own reasons to hate April.  

"Thanks, Tom." And she means it. He can probably tell. He's gotten annoyingly good at reading her over the years.

She sets the glass down and grabs another from the bag. The lid to the Sangheili's gift pops off with a near silent hiss and she pours a bit, thinks on it, and pours some more. The alcohol is clear, and it burns her nose even at arm's length. She finds herself grinning as she grabs the glass and lifts it.

Tom is watching her with a mix of interest and trepidation. He’s seen firsthand what the IVs can consume and he hasn’t always been a fan.

The alcohol is smooth and high quality, not that she's had the time or money to develop a sophisticated palate, and it burns like hell going down.

Her eyebrows furrow and she exhales quickly. Not a cough.

Tom laughs into his glass again as if that'll hide it and mutters "Pussy."

"Decorum, Captain." She barks at him, and laughs when he looks up at her, offended.

"Sarah, you are such a hypocrite." He chides her as she falls into the chair across from him.

She takes another gulp and smiles at him. "This is good. Either it gets me drunk or the techs have fun studying my liver."

"I'll make sure to send a thank you."

They fall into companionable silence for a moment, at least until the commpad on the table beeps. Startled, Sarah smacks for it and cracks the screen in half, silencing the tech while Lasky jolts and looks on in horror.

They lock eyes before Sarah snorts, "I think it’s working. I’m buzzed." followed immediately by "Shit, Roland's going to be mad I broke something else."

Tom only laughs once and raises his eyebrows at the display until she speaks up and he descends into muffled laughter.

“You’re more upset that Roland’s going to judge you than breaking the padd.” He wheezes between laughs.

Her brow furrows more and she takes another swig and shudders before pointing a finger at him. “Listen Tom, I’m not upset. It’s just–”

“You rang?” Roland appears on the holoterminal near the door, and in full view of the table.

Faster than Tom can see, but much slower than an AI’s cameras, Sarah slides the broken commpadd behind the bulk of her arm as she leans on the table. The movement is clumsy and Tom chokes, but manages not to waste the nice scotch. He swallows hard and coughs.

“Everything okay? I heard my name.” He’s the picture of ease with his hands on his hips. If he was solid, Sarah would bat his smug self off the holo.

Instead she just grins – it’s more of a grimace or baring of teeth – and continues leaning over the table enough that Tom scooches the bottles and glasses closer to his side. Both humans are pink around the ears.

“Everything’s fine, Roland. The commander here was just enjoying some of her birthday gifts.” 

“Of course, sir.” He nods and turns to Sarah who’s trying to take another sip while still covering the evidence of her crime. “Happy birthday Commander, I will ignore your destruction of yet another piece of tech, since it is your birthday. I’ll leave you two to it.”

He salutes and blips away, leaving Sarah to hit her head against the table as Tom pours another drink. He lifts Sarah’s glass and sniffs it before thinking better of it.

“You know I could call him back and we could sing for you.”

“Don’t you dare.” Her words are muffled by the table.

“Happy birthday Sarah.” Tom toasts her again as she looks up at him from the table and offers him a gesture in return.
