[A few of the designs make Lindianne wince to look at them. One is of a crowd of people being showered in dollar bills, their arms full of shopping bags and wearing identical grins. Some wag (most likely one of the National Guard boys) has scrawled in the corner in unsteady writing 'KEENER FUCKING FUCKED US'. She snorts, turning the page away from the reminder.]
[By the time he comes back, she's flipping idly between two pages. She looks up, then taps a finger against one particular design.]
This one. Upper arm, if you could.
[The design is a simple one. A Celtic cross. It's small and decidedly unflashy in contrast to the other ones in the book. No doubt Voodoo would be teasing her mercilessly for her choice were he here; it's as close to a twin for his own ink as anyone's going to get.]
[AFO Neptune has impacted her life more than any of them will ever know. If this is the only memento that she has of them when all is said and done, it'll be enough. They will not be forgotten. Not by her, not by the personnel here at the Base of Operations, not by anyone.]
[(Months later, when Alani Kelso asks about the ink, Lindianne will duck her head and mumble about absent friends.)]

The other stuff is a bit too high-speed for me.
