The rookie Groupchat

Sassy Lucy

Wade Grey: Chen, I need you to explain why you made a rookie cry during roll call this morning.

Lucy Chen: I didn't make him cry. I simply pointed out that his report was written in crayon.

Tim Bradford: It was actually crayon.

Lucy Chen: See? Tim gets it.

John Nolan: Lucy, why are you being so... harsh today?

Lucy Chen: I'm not being harsh, John. I'm being efficient. There's a difference.

Angela Lopez: You told the rookie his handwriting looked like "a drunk spider having a seizure."

Lucy Chen: It did. I was being descriptive.

Aaron Thorsen: That's... actually pretty accurate.

Lucy Chen: Thank you, Aaron. Finally, someone who appreciates honesty.

Celina Juarez: Lucy, you also made him redo his entire report three times.

Lucy Chen: Because it was wrong three times! What am I supposed to do, pat him on the head and tell him it's fine?

Tim Bradford: Now you know how I feel every day.

Lucy Chen: Don't start with me today, Bradford.

Tim Bradford: Whoa. Someone's channeling their inner grump.

Lucy Chen: I'm not grumpy. I'm tired of dealing with incompetence.

Nyla Harper: Lucy, what happened to your usual sunshine and rainbows attitude?

Lucy Chen: My sunshine got clouded by stupidity, and my rainbows got rained on by idiots.

John Nolan: That's... surprisingly dark.

Lucy Chen: Welcome to my Tuesday, Nolan.

Wade Grey: Chen, what's really going on?

Lucy Chen: What's going on is that I've been stuck doing paperwork for rookies who apparently never learned basic English.

Angela Lopez: That's part of being a sergeant, Lucy.

Lucy Chen: No, Angela. Part of being a sergeant is supervising competent officers. This is babysitting.

Aaron Thorsen: Yikes. Lucy's got some serious attitude today.

Lucy Chen: I prefer to call it "enhanced directness."

Tim Bradford: I guess my sassiness has finally rubbed off on Lucy.

Celina Juarez: Or maybe that's just the perks of being a sergeant.

Lucy Chen: Exactly. Thank you, Celina. Rank has its privileges, and one of them is the right to be brutally honest.

John Nolan: This is terrifying.

Lucy Chen: You should be terrified, John. Your last report had seventeen grammatical errors.

John Nolan: I... I thought it was pretty good.

Lucy Chen: Your definition of "pretty good" needs serious recalibration.

Tim Bradford: I'm actually impressed. This is quality sass.

Lucy Chen: I learned from the best.
