Maybe I'm just tired of being called alien, like you'd be tired of being called human.

Maybe I don't wanna be lumped in with dozens of other cultures as if I'm part of some monolithic entity that's all the same because it doesn't have pink skin and external ears.
There's always worse. I've gotten some sleep, I'll get more when my shift's done. What I'm tired of is being grouped, not standing or getting water or helping out.

Go find him. Maybe you won't be so angry at him right off the bat.
I wouldn't either. But it was worth trying. I mean, you're reminding him about shitty jokes. That means you deal with them and probably don't tear his head off.

Alright Mr. Alien.

Well, someone doesn't know a joke when he sees one. Which I guess means I'm safe from you, at least.
FROM: tess@cdc.org
I'm not worried about him.

Oh, I've been called worse.

Christ, you're touchy though. Maybe you should try some of that sleep all the folks in charge are suddenly acting like they care about.

This has been real fun and all, but I got other shit to be doing.

Probably?

He's not dead yet, and you're still asking after him.
no subject
He's really hard to kill. I'm working on it.
no subject
Yeah, not buying that. Not if I had all the credits in this universe.
no subject
That's because you don't know me very well.
no subject
Yeah. I don't. So maybe I'm wrong. Doesn't really matter to me.
no subject
That's the ticket.
