Action: On the Windrose if you want
When: January 10th, morning

[Video broadcast]

So, folks, I woke up to find that my fleet of cleaning droids suddenly doubled. All of them need names- I only have Cameron, Robocop and Leopardon so far. Got any suggestions? I'm a big sci-fi fan so I'd love to name all of them after famous robots, but I'll take anything.

[And on the Windrose, Castle could be found following his new troops, a big, goofy smile on his face.]

Don't work yourselves too hard now, hmm?

Comments

[tallasaking]

Now here is the true question - does she love you for your looks, or does she love you for your wit?

[thebestseller]

Is "both" an acceptable answer?

[tallasaking]

Yes it is, and enough for me to feel the sharp knife of jealousy!

[thebestseller]

It can cut quite hard.

[tallasaking]

[And now, you get a laugh.]

My friend, I like you. I owe you a glass of something decent once we reach our next destination.

[thebestseller]

Me, too. I'll accept your offer- I haven't had some good beer or scotch in a long time.

[tallasaking]

Well then I shall gladly get one you or the other.

[thebestseller]

Appreciate it. Just don't take any Atroma or the sponsors might give you.

[tallasaking]

Oh, I would not trust Atroma as far as I could in fact toss them -- and I cannot toss them at all.

[thebestseller]

That's very wise. Even if I don't think they'd go so far as to poison us, anything they'd send you would be crap, anyway.

[tallasaking]

Oh, I am certain they will find something a rather questionable poison that will work as effectively as our first level ships.

[thebestseller]

I dunno, I think they like to keep us hale and hearty, funnily enough.

[tallasaking]

Well how else are you going to play their game if you aren't on your feet to do so?

[thebestseller]

True- and if we're all in recovery for weeks or months, they can't figure out new drama.

[tallasaking]

Which would be very, very boring for them. So they must be plotting something else entirely.

[thebestseller]

I am on the edge of my seat waiting.

[tallasaking]

I would like to know what game they are playing, no lie.

[thebestseller]

And how to beat it so we can all get out of here and go back to our lives.

[tallasaking]

I would prefer to be in ... not space. That seems utterly delightful. [He really, really hated being surrounded by an empty void.]

[thebestseller]

I think it's pretty cool myself, but I can also totally understand not liking it.
