Carom? Hm. Have you ever played a billiards game?

[resnipstance]

Billiards? That's like... that pool game they play in bars, right?

[sinuosity]

It's one type, yes. Carrom you play with flat pieces, and your fingers. You have a cue, black, and white pieces. I can explain the rules if we can find something large enough to be a board.

[resnipstance]

Sounds like fun!

I'm sure we can find something. Maybe this waystation has a supply closet!

[sinuosity]

I doubt it. All I've found so far is too many vending machines.

[resnipstance]

Well... maybe we can use a vending machine. Turn it on it's side.

[sinuosity]

It would be tiresome: we need a board with four pockets at each corner for the pieces.

[resnipstance]

So we'll engineer some. No biggie. Surely one of the engineers has access to a blow-torch.

[sinuosity]

It might be easier to look for a table. It's not like anyone uses these places.

[ She frowns. ]

I don't see anyone, but the whole place is stocked.

[resnipstance]

... Oh. Right.

[She has the decency to look a little sheepish.]

Yeah, that is pretty weird. Usually waystations have at least someone manning them. Maintenance crew, and so on.

[sinuosity]

They don't even have those — little robots?

[resnipstance]

Droids.

I know, it's weirding me out. Do you think... something happened? Or that the Atroma placed this here specially for us.

[sinuosity]

I'm not certain. Perhaps we should look for that first, some kind of panelling, or control room.

Did you get this — strange feeling on the Marsiva?

[resnipstance]

This whole place is one strange feeling.

But yeah. Let's check it out.

[sinuosity]

You take left, I'll take right, we meet back here with what we've found?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka nods once, all business.]

On it.

dusts off this one

[sinuosity]

[ spongebob voice SOME TIME LATER.... ]

I have found nothing of use. Ahsoka?

[resnipstance]

Nothing. That in and of itself is strange enough.

I mean. Who mans the vending machines? For starters. Who cleans?

[sinuosity]

I do not like this mystery. Perhaps we'll have better luck on the next station, or a planet.
