[Curiosity has always been her downfall, and that doesn't change now. Personnel support is a title she's never heard before, and she wants to know what it means, what it is that Tek does on this ship. If they're to be in such close quarters, with him apparently acting as captain as well, it's something she should know.

She notes his room with little interest, but keeps any comments about not needing to ever know where he sleeps to herself. It would be petty, get her nowhere. There's no reason to make the tension between them worse.]

What is it that a personnel support officer does, exactly?

[he gives a light shrug. because hell if he knows anything more about the station than she does.

not that this will stop him from forming an opinion on it anyway, of course.]

As far as I've managed to gather, some of us are given a little more freedom in our duties than others.

I think it's open to interpretation.

Which is a fancy way of saying you don't know.

[She's not stupid, Tek. Stop frontin.]

From the sound of it, I should think it has something to do with helping the people who live on this ship with you.

[hey, the day that he doesn't speak long ways around the simple, direct way of saying something, is the day that the universe turns inside-out.]

If our overlords' primary goal was for us to work together in peace and harmony, maybe.

[She could harp on that, accuse him of skirting around the point so endlessly, but it's becoming clear he really has no interest in being helpful to her right now.]

If it's not, I'd say that's even more of a reason to work together. From what I've gathered so far no one on this ship is very interested in actually doing their jobs.

...I don't typically bow to the whims of those who try to plot out the course of my life for themselves.

That's fine for you to say, but if doing your job keeps the people here alive I would hope that would be enough incentive for anyone.

Oh... Don't worry. I sincerely doubt that my job has anything to do with keeping people alive.

I was speaking more generally. Would you care if you did have a hand in us living or dying?

...I get the feeling that you're trying to imply something, with a question like that.

That might speak to some paranoia, then. It was an honest question.

It might.

[because he really can't argue that one. he's been called paranoid often enough in his life.]

But, in that case, of course I would care. I never take death lightly.
