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?

[ He switch hands on the heating unit and knocks the durasteel against the wall of the ship. ]

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.

Mine's vibranium. Rarest metal in the world, so it's not like we're finding new parts anytime soon. There's some fellas on the station who're discreet, if you're looking for something that might help in the interim. This is one of the few places I've seen along our flight path with the requisite technology.

ACTION

Guessing we don't dock on planets like these too often, huh? Considering the last place we were in.

[ He considers for a second. ]

Hey, how long has you been here?

ACTION

[redactions]

Regularly enough, but it's rare we get somewhere like this.

[ A beat. ]

Seven months.

ACTION

[sandhate]

[ Seven months. He can't help but balk at that but he composes himself soon enough. ]

That's a long time to be away from home.

ACTION

[redactions]

[ He snorts. ]

You should hear some of the other stories. It's not encouraging, but we aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

ACTION

[sandhate]

Well, when you say it like that. [ A wry chuckle. ] I don't know about you, but I keep thinking I should just wake up. And this will all be a dream.
