I think Mark was a Soldier. And that a lot of what they have, in the way of defenses, was down to him or was his idea. So, him having his own little Praetorian Guard seemed perfectly reasonable to him and was abhorrent to the rest of them. So Kait gets to play Batman and nobody minds. Arkady's a goddamn lunatic and nobody cares, they even think it's cute. KK's a slutty security risk, Karl puts tinfoil on his head, Connor writes happy things in his little fucking book, Miki's got her metaphorical thumb in the goddamn metaphorical dike, Sirkka messed up Jack so bad with her mind games and sex games that he stays on his fucking boat all the time. Kirk and Caz? They're at least doing something useful. Luke's a prick, sure but who are you all (the FA's) to judge him? Or to judge Mark, for that matter? Sanctimonious little fuckers.

There was one movie long ago that I didn't watch (it was too scary): they went to a planet where dreams came true. Then someone had a nightmare, and the steps leading up to the spaceship begin to bend under the weight of a slow, massive, invisible monster walking up them into the spaceship.
