Who: Jim Barnes
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: nope.
When: Feb 2.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone managed to fix the "modifications" made to our ships a few months ago?
2. Has anyone else found their personal items being sold on this station?

Hey, I'm looking for-- Oh, hey. You're the guy? [ A pointed look at the heating units, then he sticks his hand out for a shake. ] Anakin Skywalker, and I don't think I got your name.
ACTION
James Barnes. I happen to know your padawan as well. Ahsoka?
ACTION
Ahsoka seems to know everyone on this blasted ship. I hope she hasn't been saying only the good things about me. Need a hand with those?
ACTION
Yeah, thanks. I was just setting one up in the corridors leading to the hold. Figure we can start there.
ACTION
Huh. I thought I heard something. Where'd you get these, anyway?
ACTION
The ice planet we just left. Plenty of heating units designed for small homes.
ACTION
Makes sense. Just as long as you have enough of these lying around. Or hope these have enough out put.
ACTION
[ The cargo hold just has those mysterious boxes of gumballs piled in a corner. Jim puts the parts down near his toolbox. The mechanical whir is still there, soft, when he moves. ]
ACTION
[ He looks at Jim this time, searching for that noise. It doesn't help his first thought goes to droids. Anakin walks a bit faster to fall instep with Jim. ]
You have something motorized on you, or am I going nuts?
ACTION
[ There are tiny cleaning droids around on the ship, but Anakin is looking at him. ]
Oh. Yes. My arm.
[ He takes off the glove, and spreads his fingers so the metal articulates a whir. ]
ACTION
Is it supposed to be making that noise?
ACTION
ACTION
[ He can only gesture at his arm while still carrying the units ]
Maintenance on it has been a nightmare.
ACTION
Oh, you don't gotta tell me. What's yours made of, if you don't mind my askin'?
ACTION
Durasteel. Back where I'm from, space ships are made from the stuff. It's not very flexible so I have motorized segments of it for the knuckles. Which means it needs a power cell every now and then, that's also a pain to deal with.
ACTION
ACTION
[ He considers for a second. ]
Hey, how long has you been here?
ACTION
[ A beat. ]
Seven months.
ACTION
That's a long time to be away from home.
ACTION
You should hear some of the other stories. It's not encouraging, but we aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
