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.

[ look at you, ramon. first day in space and you made a girl laugh. who said nerds don't get ahead in life? ]

Hey, I am figuring them out as we go here. First great quality, has appreciation for junk food and thus, gets awesome points. Second great quality, isn't ashamed to admit she has more great qualities up her sleeve, more awesome points.

[ it's a system, kate ]

[ladybro]

So. Hypothetical query -- how many points is one person allowed to get?

[ because she's a classic overachiever, cisco. and now she wants all of them. ]

[benames]

If someone wanted to break the ultimate score oh awesomeness, hypothetically -

[ even though he can see what you're doing there, kate ]

It'll have to be an even 500.

[ladybro]

And how many points would, say, playing the cello net a gal? Hypothetically.

video »

[benames]

You play the cello?

[ this is seriously cool ]

I would say a total 75 - are you having space-recitals?

video »

[ladybro]

Unfortunately for all of us, I'm celloless. Bowless, too. [ and that goes for both bows, although she hasn't mentioned her other skill yet. ]

video »

[benames]

Well, Kate you look like a trustworthy person and so I am going to believe you're awesome in cello anyway and give you those points.

[ ... ]

if you do ever get a cello, though, I call dibs on a private concert.

[ladybro]

You've got yourself a deal, Cisco. Pinky swear. [ and she waggles her pinky for the camera. ]

video »

[benames]

double pinky swear.

[ wiggling. twice. ha ]

video »

[ladybro]

In the meantime, I'll have to figure out how to make up the difference in points. I will hit five hundred.

video »

[benames]

ok I got it.

[ pointing a finger at, this is important ]

50 points for you and me sock sliding in one of the ships.

video »

[ladybro]

Okay, sure. I'm up for a little risky business. Tom Cruise ain't got nothing on me.

video »

[benames]

80 if we're sock sliding in the bridge.

[ he just hopes the captains here are not the kind to throw people in isolation over.

sock sliding ]

[ladybro]

Here's hoping they shuffle you onto the Blameless. We could use that kind of joie-de-vivre over here.

video »

[benames]

dude, your ship is called the Blameless? that's aweeesome! it's like the ship of no regrets.

video »

[ladybro]

We've lost a few crew, lately. Nothing nefarious -- they just left. So maybe there might have been a few regrets.

video »

[benames]

wait.

[ he sits down, takes a notepad and a pen ]

they left? just like that? one day they were there the next they weren't? and the ship didn't change course - no - weird activities?

video »

[ladybro]

Sometimes the Atroma just -- send people back. Or send them somewhere else. Honestly, most people are just taking it on faith about the 'going back' part.

video »

[benames]

...do we know how? I mean, does a gate suddenly open - are those people just called away to another location? or do we...never see that part?

video »

[ladybro]

I've never seen it. And we've had four people leave. [ suddenly, her tone is less cocksure. more...professional. as though she's satisfied to take a direct and logical approach to the question. ]

video »

[benames]

Four people disappearing from the same ship to go home. there can't be a breach on the ship or you would have seen it. but then, there has to be a way to teleport those people back here. you'd notice if someone were to come and just kidnap them. the breach must be here.

[ he looks around ]

and they teleport them over here and then send them to their earths.

video »

[ladybro]

You're picking this stuff up rather quick. [ ... ] Other people aren't always so ready to believe the other Earths thing.

video »

[benames]

Let's just say I have very recently had some past experience with the whole other earths and multiverse thing.

[ firm nod. god, he really didn't like earth-2 ]

video »

[ladybro]

Bit of a head-spin, isn't it? [ kate tries to look cool about it all, although she's rattled somewhere under her chilly blue eyes. ] I thought I'd figured it all out back home but -- man, the multiverses that this place dredges up truly take the cake. Fair warning.

video »

[benames]

...ah, definitely, yeah.

[ you know, just as long as there won't be any more evil dopplegagers, he'll be fine. reverb gave him nightmares and daymares since they met ]

--- how? I mean - aside of the obvious we're living in space.
