Ray is an engineer, too. The problem is that we don't have any equipment to upgrade with.

[And Polly is military, too. It's definitely fighting shape.]

The fleet has been attacked in the past. It's better to be on the safe side.

[pain_train]

Aw, our engineers are super cute. [Lucky! Maybe she should drop some spanners for Ray to pick up]

Oh, so it's a supply problem. Hm. That shit is way more difficult.

You should probably tell me about that stuff some time since I'm supposed to do security.

[If it's all ship battles, maybe her back won't fuck them all over. She'll worry about her problems with shooting ability... Later.]

[grabthecheese]

They are?

[She sounds surprised, but she never notices these things.]

It was before I arrived. A lot of the ships took damage, but the crews were mostly okay.

[pain_train]

Well, yeah. They both have very nice smiles, which is the most important thing. [Spoiler: Wrath thinks 85% of everything is cute. Including giant honking mad driver cannons.]

Ah, gotcha. So you're pretty new, too?

Guess I'll just ask around. Kind I see what there is to even work with here. It's hard to come up with decent strat without a starting point.

[grabthecheese]

Well, I know Ray is single. [She hasn't asked. She just thinks she would have heard otherwise.]

I've been here a couple of months. People are very helpful, though, so we're not on our own if anything happens.

[pain_train]

Aw, poor guy. Hope he isn't too lonely. [Wait a second. Oh. Oh!] Oh no, I don't want to be anyone's girlfriend or anything. I'm terrible at it. And anyway, that stuff just makes everything get weird.

[This of course doesn't mean she wouldn't bang him like a screen door in a hurricane but that is totally different. At least on Planet Wrath.]

Gotcha. A couple months can be a lot of time when shit keeps coming, though. So there's a pretty solid team going?

[grabthecheese]

[Well. Relationship talk mostly just confuses her anyway. She'd ask if Wrath just wants to look, then, but--

No, she won't. She'll just shrug and move back to the other topic.]

I think so. I haven't seen them in action, but they got the ships fixed up again pretty quick. And no one got hurt passing through the asteroid field.

[pain_train]

[Well, come on. Who doesn't like some window shopping? And just because you try on the cute shoes doesn't mean you have to buy them...]

Are there a lot of ships? Where are we in the fleet hierarchy?

[Buy taking business is way more important, let's be real.]

[grabthecheese]

[She frowns a bit, just for a second.]

There's no hierarchy. We have weapons, but we're not an army, or even organized. We work together because we have to.

[pain_train]

[Wrath frowns.]

That's not good. I mean, yeah, it'd be bad to just... Force people to serve, but there has to be some kind of chain of command or how does anything get done?
