[Remember your ship mechanic? The one who showed up, complained a little, talked a big game, and them retreated to the engine room for two weeks? Well he's back. Back and full of science.]

Whoever's been leaving food by the door, just know that you deserve a raise.

Comments

[resnipstance]

They're... gumballs.

[She sounds puzzled and a little annoyed.]

... I don't get it either.

[housepartyprotocol]

[Groans.]

You know, a few years ago I wouldn't have thought it was possible for me to be this annoeyed at space.

[resnipstance]

Hey. Look on the bright side! We don't have to worry about food? I spent almost all my credits in Arslae stocking up.

I thought we'd be travelling in space for another two months again, like we were before Arslae. I didn't want to be stuck with protein cubes for two months, so we have enough real food to last the whole crew that long, at least. I mean-- it's all non-perishable stuff, but... better than protein cubes!

[housepartyprotocol]

Yeah, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Space Spam.

[grinning at her]

So it's you who's been keeping me more or less alive. I say less, because some of those meals were cubes.

[resnipstance]

Nope. Don't look at me. The last time I tried to cook I nearly burned the kitchen down.

[housepartyprotocol]

Okay, yeah, not you then.

So is it me, or are there more people here than there were before?

[resnipstance]

They're overcrowding the ships. Don't ask me why. I'm just grateful we're at a station and not, you know, still adrift in space. Then it'd be a problem.
