Warnings: Slight but not really CA:TFA spoilers?

[Steve woke before the soldiers could continue to taunt him. He sighed, running a hand through his hair after a moment.]

Definitely don't miss those days... [Definitely not. But it wasn't until he mumbled this that he noticed that the Dreamberry on his bedside table was on.

Whoops.]

...Guess the secret's out, huh?

It is possible. But in my experience, there is only war. I was made for it, after all. But... I suppose humans may have a different experience. [ He sounds mattter of fact, not regretful. Utterly at peace with an existence of utmost savagery and brutality. ]

[savesthedance.livejournal.com]

And you're not human? [He's not...100% human either, but he still prefers peace. Yeah, he was made to be a solider too, but that didn't mean he preferred war.]

I was human once, but I have been genehanced and augmetically altered to the point where I am generally referred to as a posthuman. Or, more to the point, an Astartes, or Space Marine.

[savesthedance.livejournal.com]

And...you're saying....you were made to be a soldier? Or, uh - a 'Space Marine.' [Just making sure he'll following this correctly.]

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't forced, if that is what you mean. [ He smiles a little at the concept. ]

But yes, from the age of 13 or so I was an aspirant with the Ultramarines chapter, and started the process of becoming what I am now.

Sounds a little like what happened to me. 'Cept I'm still human. I think. [Pausing and rubs the back of his head. Schmidt had said something about them leaving humanity behind, but...he still felt human. And he has limits. It wasn't like he was all powerful or something.]

As long as you can still ask yourself that question, you are still possessed of a human heart.

[savesthedance.livejournal.com]

Guess that answers that question then.

Just so. I bid you good day... "Star spangled man."

[ Titus grins a bit. ]

[He chuckles.] Not the worst thing I've been called. But yeah. Have a nice day, yourself.
