I'm sure everyone's grateful for it.

( See, what a nice captain )

Is that the only thing that's changed around here?

[more like he figured everyone would appreciate their own, private spaces]

I - think so? More or less. I mean, we're working on upgrading other parts, but - it's all pretty much the same since I got here. We haven't even had any transfers in a few weeks.

( Mean captains wouldn't care )

I don't think the Huntress has either. Not like some of the other ships do. You'd think it would be even or a pattern but sometimes people leave and no one new is transferred in.

[that's a very good point]

You would think that, right? [he faintly shakes his head] We had someone leave - last month? End of the month before? And we haven't had anyone new transfer in since.

Maybe you've done something wrong.

( She's kidding )

They could be waiting for something special, or if it's about the viewers you could be entertaining enough already.

Such as?

[better back it up with a good joke missy]

It's possible. We're not a very entertaining ship, most of the time. We're pretty quiet, which they must love.

Climbing too many walls.

( Although for being a boring ship they probably don't see many other people literally climbing walls )

Maybe you're more entertaining than you think.

I don't climb the walls, thank you.

[if there's someone else climbing the walls he figures he'd be the first to know anyway]

I really hope not. I don't like being interesting - especially to them.

Then how did you get up there?

( Honest curiosity. And she can agree with not enjoying being interesting to this audience )

I jumped.

[he shrugs and gives her a bit of a sheepish grin] I don't have claws like this, so I can't climb the walls, even if I wanted to.

How does jumping let you stay up there?

( Because no claws )

My feet are prehensile. So I jump up, grab one of the pipes up there, and . . . [a gesture]

Well, if you ever needed a spare hand.

( Don't say you haven't ever held things with your feet )

Is it just like holding on?

Or two.

[he totally has, for science]

Mm, it's the same as if I jumped up there and held on with my hands.

Very handy.

( Pun maybe intended )

What's the longest you've hung up there?

Ha ha.

[he appreciates the pun tho]

About - twenty minutes or so? Not up here, but back home in my lab.
