This might have been meant for a victory celebration but instead, it had turned into some grim sort of wake for the dead and undead. Epsilon...Church, whatever name he'd gone for, he'd left his mark on both of them.
There might have even been a time when Wash would have welcomed Epsilon's demise considering the heartbreak and trauma he'd undergone thanks to the AI. But he'd come to learn the AI all over again outside of the traumatizing confines of the Project and had come to value Church as a member of the team.
"It's Church, he's cheated death so many times, that is a totally reasonable assumption if you ask me." Wash pointed out quietly while taking another pull from the bottle. The whiskey burned just as much the second time around as it did the first time. But he knew if he kept drinking, he'd eventually the alcohol would win out and he'd grow numb and not even notice that burn anymore.
"Everything we've gone through lately, all of this uncertainty and upheaval, I think all of us are going to need time to process things." The tired looking ex-Freelancer looked over at Tucker then with a serious look on his face. "Did you tell Carolina what happened to Epsilon?" The AI had been paired with her pretty much from the moment he'd been freed from the memory unit and Wash was one of the few people who understood just what Epsilon truly meant to the woman and the connections he offered her to her past and to her deceased family.
