driftfleet | Ninth Gate [Video]

Who: Jennifer Keller and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck, if you want
When: January 24th. Hat tip to Babs for this post suggestion.

[When Jennifer begins the broadcast, she's showing everyone a crate with "DR. JENNFER KELLER, SS WONDERDUCK" plus a sponsor logo label on the front.]

I just got some more presents from our wonderful sponsors. Should I open the crate or just send it directly out the airlock? I guess I should open it, if only to engender some more good will.

[The sarcasm in her voice is obvious. Nonetheless, Jennifer takes the time to pry off the lid, carefully examining and setting out each item, the distaste evident on her face the further she goes. It's all cheese-related in some way- except there's no actual edible cheese involved. Scented soaps, candles, a novelty foam hat shaped like a wedge of cheese... even a plush toy cow.]

Oh, boy, they must have seen the basket Atroma gave me after they let us off the Marsiva... [This was said more to herself than anyone else, but then she addresses everyone again.] So, uh, does anybody want any cheese-scented soap? I'm sure it's... it's quite pleasant if you like cheese that much.

Hopefully. It's going to be fine when we're on a planet, but having overcrowded ships and nowhere for people to sleep is going to get messy fast. Some people don't like sharing space to begin with, but if they're stuck on the floor when others have bunks? Not good.

Perhaps we're going to be in some sort of scuffle ... and I really should look into building some bunks.

God, I hope not. Medical staff are pretty underequipped for mass casualties...

Hopefully they're going to unfreeze our accounts soon so people on crowded ships can buy air mattresses and stuff. Just to hold us over until Atroma decides to actually provide more room.

Then we might be in a bit of trouble.

I certainly hope so. I can make a bit of a living with what I am doing.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that nothing like that ever happens.

I'm going to see what I can do, too.

You and this entire fleet, Jennifer.

Then we should be able to raise a fair amount of coin, yes?

Hopefully- and Atroma never said anything about our food rations, so we'll at least be able to eat protein and whatever else we have stored. I'd hate for people to starve if they can't work.

I don't think they would let us starve. Starvation doesn't make for good entertainment. In fact, it is rather disgusting.

Yeah, exactly. Atroma never seems to want serious harm to come to us, even if they ARE holding us captive. It's one of the few good things about being stuck here.

I suppose I should be relieved that for once when I am taken prisoner, I am not going to get starved, threatened, or in fact have to wear a ridiculous hat with bells on it.

Well... I wouldn't discount the hat with the bells part.

I would. I will burn the first one I see.

Fair enough. Let's hope Atroma doesn't try to give you one.

We can all pray they are not that unwise.
