Who| Wash, Chief, and anyone else who wishes to join
What| Movie night! Chief has never seen Alien or Aliens, and Wash aims to fix that
Where| A lounge somewhere on Legion World
When| During Unification Week, in the evening

Somehow, Wash was still boggled that Chief hadn't seen Aliens. It was a classic, right? Then again, he just might not be that into action movies, or movies in general.

(It was not at all lost on him that he was showing two movies about fighting homicidal aliens to someone whose career and reputation were built on exactly that.)

But he'd proposed a movie night, and he was determined to follow through. He'd found a lounge with a big screen and a lot of fluffy but solid shapes, some of which were vaguely recognizable as sofas and chairs and other various furniture and some of which weren't recognizable as anything. He'd obtained shitty vegan pizza and soda and popcorn with salt and shitty vegan butter, because you really couldn't have a movie night without popcorn. Against all odds, he'd managed to find both Alien and Aliens, and he'd set Alien up in the projector. (He'd even told a few other people about movie night, because why not?) And then he'd waited for 7 PM to roll around.

"Okay, almost dying is kind of less cool. I'd take sleeping in over a skull knife, honestly."

Ninjas existing? Awesome. Being too close to the ninjas while they're existing? Less so.

"It's pretty bad. We kinda almost went extinct because of aliens for a while. I mean, it's better now, but nobody had a good time."

He shrugs. "Yeah, but I didn't die. And I get to say I faced down a deadly ninja assassin and survived!"

Well, with the help of his friends but still. And his story is way more awesome than Grif's, which kind of sounds like the way the Kraang invasion was looking to go.

"What's 'better'? Like rebuilding-earth better or aliens-aren't-killing-us better?"

"Aliens aren't killing us right now. Well. Most of us." He's pretty sure humans and aliens are gonna keep killing each other in much smaller numbers for as long as they know each other, just because that's how people are.

"They didn't get earth, so it could've been way worse. It kind of doesn't matter either way though because I'm still stuck in the army. Never go in the army, kid."

"You sure they aren't waiting in the wings? We thought the Kraang were gone for two years before they popped back up." And then they resurfaced just in time to get beat by the Triceratons. When they destroyed the planet.

"Don't plan on it. I mean, I'm already in a war and with my bros I can do things my way. So why'd you join?"

[whyarewehere]

"I don't know, they might be," Grif says, his expression darkening a little. That would be just like aliens, wouldn't it?

"And oh dude no, I didn't join, they drafted me."

[jonesiseverywhere]

"Oh...yeah, I guess that figures." It would be different if the aliens were attacking out in the open and not underground, wouldn't it?

"Jus' saying, the Kraang were hiding in the Statue of Liberty so check everywhere."
