The uniform thing sucks, but I think you could totally still work around it, if you want to put Beau in green. Because Spaceforce is in the future, right? So maybe they'll switch back to green in a couple of decades/centuries?

Some of these links are hilarious. Arabic swearing? WIN.

But Spaceforce is very, very near future -- next decade, tops, which is why I have to use all the stuff that they're changing right now. It's not that big of a deal, anyway.

I have to look up so many things. *shakes head* I should have kept track of everything I had to look up for the Bardverse; it'd be interesting to see.
