- Tears have been forming in Dreamweaver's eyes and rolling down his cheeks
- as he listens to Jammer's story of Sgt. Coffee and the toasts of others to
- those who have not returned. Letting the tears dry, he goes to the bar,
-
- "I'll have one of those expressos, Mike."
- Going to the chalkline, Dreamweaver savors the mocha (he's one of those
- you'd call an enthusaist for coffee, if not a maniac) and speaks,
-
- "Jammer, anything I could add to anybody's toast on the matter
- would feel innapropriate. I'm either too young or lucky to have served in
- any actual military, but I try to honor them by learning as much about
- them as I can. The emblem on my shoulder is part of that. I'll be looking
- forward to next year, or whenever you're ready, when we can all learn more
- about Shooting Star 6."
-
- "To Scott...", Dreamweaver whispers, and so does the cup...
-
- (crash)
-
- Then Dreamweaver heads out into the snow to join in on the fun.
