[this can be either in the medbay while yuri heals or sometime after she's out tbh, but. either way. we're jumping right into the bug memory you asked for bc memshare week waits for no starter!!

[ yeah afterward works!
he definitely looks a little creeped out at the end of that, and is still kind of wrapping his head around what was being discussed there.
looking over at him... ]
...So— Were they making bug supersoldiers or something? Is that what the deal was? And then after the war you're just stuck being part bug? Or...

[ are any of them pretty bugs... does anyone just have nice butterfly wings or moth fluff... ]
Oof... Did you guys consent to that, or did they just... do it?

How many people do you think would consent to this?
[they're all gross bugs, unfortunately, no butterflies or moths here. resilient insects only.]

[ looks at his own canon and the weird splicing gag they did once, and the time they were all cicadas ruining elementary schoolers' love confessions... ]
Y-yeah, that's pretty messed up. Did they tell you it was going to be something else?

Didn't say anything about it until after it was finished. I didn't know I was getting it.
