Who: Cisco Ramon
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the marsiva
When: current

[ today you can see cisco ramon putting tons of cheddar gel between two wheat solids, pressing them all together into a sandwich before heating them up on the highest setting available. it's not really grilled cheese but it's as close as it comes.

he's already eating out of a plate of frozen banana cubes ]

ok so eating all of this alone while everyone else is partying is absolutely my senior prom all over again just in space-setting.

[ oh to be a nerd, even in space. ]

so - what do we call ourselves? the fleeters? this is just for future knowledge, I am not in any way implying that title is.

[ the space microwave beeps ]

are they going to serve frozen tequila cubes in that party? because if so then a) awesome and b) I think those should definitely be provided to those of us who are stuck here on board of the SS No-Date.

Just saying.

Dude, we're in space. If space has spaceships and reality tv and space jello that taste like peanut butter, it can have frozen tequila cubes.

[ man, together with lemon cubes. now that would be a feat ]

Sadly, I can't even argue that.

It's just one of those space-advantages that really have to exist.

[ otherwise what would be the fun in space? flavored tofu is pretty cool but partying it up with flavored tofu is a bit too hipster to cisco's liking.

also weird. ]

somewhere around here, there must be systems that need major cooling down to exist.

[a little dryly]

I haven't run into one of those yet. If only everything worked like it did on TV.

[there it is, nerd alert]

I would - think so, I mean, engines and - er, all the computers they must have going.

[ there is a definite shade of sympathy in his voice when he answers ]

space hadn't been that great for you? I mean, I can totally see how it can happen and I am definitely assuming eventually it'll happen to me, too. I just. hope that it will be more in the way of homesickness rather than hungry alien monsters.

[ ok now he's thinking there are definitely some of those on these giant ship and oh good lord he won't be sleeping tonight ]

and the ship's systems and fuses. dude, I wonder if we can access those.

Space hasn't been all that bad, honestly. It's the people that really make it easier. [what an understatement that is. He lets out a huff of laughter] No hungry aliens yet. I think that they'd warn for that when giving the standard welcome spiel.

[another huff]

I don't know if you can or not - on that ship, anyway. To be fair, though, I didn't try when I was there. Just be careful if you try? Like you said, reality TV. They're watching.

Hey, I think that's great. I mean, no matter where you are and how weird things get, it's - definitely a great help having good friends around, right?

[ that carried him through so many troubles, had inspired him to carry caitlin and barry through their own. ]

Right. hidden cameras. or not so hidden? play nice with the equipment. I got it all down.

[ aka he'll probably get in trouble ]

Right, it really is. You'll see. [because Cisco seems like the type who makes friends quickly, at least to Hank]

Hidden. [that much he actually looked for] I couldn't see or hear any over there, so they really don't want us to find them. Definitely want to err on the side of play nice.

[please don't get in trouble]

I'm Hank, by the way. Welcome to the fleet.

awesome maybe they're build in the walls - or the mirrors. I wonder if they have any way of moving, though since otherwise, the audience will be getting a really awkward angle at the videos.

[ waving a hand ]

hey, I won't. I mean, there is a solid 83% of me not getting into any sort of trouble. Cisco Ramon, hi.

Oh, I'm sure they have a way. I don't put anything past our - hosts. [he says it like it pains him to be that nice about the Atroma] But if they're that small, that might be why I missed them. The tech here is a bit more advanced than what I'm familiar with.

And I mean - they can't blame you for being curious. [he's not encouraging this, no sir] It's a pleasure, Cisco.

it can be literally anywhere and you know.

[ lifting a hand ]

I think I just found another thing to do while you all are out there having a party in a toxic wasteland, seriously cool, again.

[ gonna find them cameras ]

[go forth with Hank's blessing]

I don't think you'll be missing much, at least? And - after you get shuffled, you'll be able to go down there. Who knows, maybe they're the sort to throw more than one party.

Yeah, I mean - maybe they'll have a belated after-party, that'll be seriously cool. It'll be awesome just to be able to step on that moon. I could do the whole one small step for man thing -

[ stop being such a nerd, ramon ]

[he huffs out a laugh]

Neil Armstrong would be proud.

-- nice to know that happened in more verses of Earth than mine. I was starting to wonder about that.

[ that's a definite relief ]

Well it - just happened in my verse, a few years ago. But mm, you're going to be wondering about that a lot. [he sounds sympathetic, because he's gotten to that point, too]

man, the multiverse is weird as it is but this place is something else. Maybe we need to develop a system that will store the information about the different worlds so people can do their reading. I mean - all we really have is time.

[ and...flavored jelly cubes ]

That isn't a bad idea. I know you can send documents over this thing - and I mean, there's also the library too, which helps with general knowledge.

[he huffs a little, sounding amused] You have time until you fill it up with different projects.

wait - there's an actual library? as in old, dusty books? or an awesome futuristic library of texts saved on a giant, super advanced computer with a really cool search engine? because -

[ pointing at his notepad that's already getting filled with notes written in a small, neat handwriting ]

the second one will really be helpful right now.

Actual library with not-so-dusty books. No - uh, super computers that I saw, but I sort of just went straight for the books. [because knows his weaknesses, and if he was given some kind of super computer he'd be lost for days]

[ a little sigh of woe ]

right. well. we will need to back those on a computer so it might be killing two birds with one stone. we'll get the information backed up and also we might find out some new legit information.

Ah - right, digital books. That's a thing. [he has yet to really see it, but it absolutely fascinates him, the thought of books on computers] I'd be happy to help with that, you just - uh, might have to bear with me while I learn how to do it. I know how to back-up data, but that's on a computer that's probably older than you are.

dude, you're going to learn so fast. it can be our project. we'll back the stuff that's on the books - I mean, it's a good thing to do in case of a fire anyway.

[god, but Cisco's enthusiasm is contagious]

Yeah, that's true. Or - you know, to have on hand in case you have to look something up. I'll accept that project, though. [as if he doesn't have a dozen already]

[ it's his secret weapon ]

alright operation Athena, here we go!

[ don't start naming the projects, cisco ]
