....Just like it's much better to leave a potential time bomb like me in here with everyone as well, I suppose?
[There's a pause while Derek thinks.]
...All right. I'd end up fighting anyway, because even if I don't have much...sympathy for you, I still live here, and so do people I care about. That's enough for me to say yes.
If you can figure out how to get me stabilized, preferably without depending on something external like the drugs, I'll go for it. Already had one close call in here and I don't want to repeat it. If you need the name of the drug from back home to help with the research, here it is:
[Derek will write the name of it down--they never actually give one in canon, but it was supposedly on the RX label on Zoey's bottle.
He'll continue on, like he's running down a shopping list.]
I need normal ammo for my 9mm. Or at least whatever ammo will best work on whatever I'd be fighting at the time. It would be nice to have the rest of the contents of my surfboard back as well, and the shotgun, with shells, of course. I have a hunting knife, but a sea-worthy combat knife would be preferable. And a military first aid kit. Won't do anyone any good if we can't keep them alive to get them back to the medics and healers. If ground vehicles become involved, I want my jeep there for transport. If maintenance on those vehicles is needed, I want my tool kit available as well.
I'd ask for my laptop, too, but...not much use in this situation.
