Who: Krista Kingsley
Broadcast: Video, to the whole network!
Action: Bishop, if applicable...
When: Right now!

[your resident jaded teenage goth is looking particularly cheery today! soft-spoken as usual, but pretty excited about something! she's holding up her communicator so that everyone can see the inside of her personal office--the only perk of being a Personnel Officer.]

Hey guys! So, Chris just gave me the best idea... I know that some of us are already stocking up on as many books as we can get our hands on while we're near civilization, and I've already got like, three people I'm going to end up swapping reading with, but what about this.

[she swings around to show the desk and couch, showing the space.] I've got this room, right? Part of whatever my augment's got going on... I could turn it into a library! You guys can shuttle books over to the Bishop when you're done reading them, and then anyone can check them out.

[she starts listing things off on her fingers...] I can catalog them, sort them by topic, make a system so we know which books are going where... Maybe keep stuff like blueprints and maps, too, so that it can be accessed from one place. Oh! And I was thinking of making physical copies of all the network entries and stuff that's stored in the ship computers, in case, I don't know, the network becomes irreversibly corrupted and we need to look up old shit.

[she's so excited. she's so excited. it's probably boring archival work, but she looks like a kid in a candy store.]

In the reverse, if someone out there can make me some kind of a scanner, maybe we can create digital copies of all these books, so I could just send them out to the ship computers if there's a request. Like, someone could just say, hey, do you have anything about giant space wasps? And I'd be like, bam, files sent. That'd be so cool.

I just hope the audience likes it.

[ladiesss]

Hey, rabid fangirls love friendship. It opens up a ton of doors for... obsessively hoping characters get together, and stuff. So... Probably. Good chance.

[detectivewonder]

Are you suggesting I find a Scully to my Mulder as a ratings gag?

[ladiesss]

Uh, yeah. [she grins. she gets it! she gets that reference!] That's like, eight seasons of loyal fan following right there.

[detectivewonder]

Are you volunteering?

[ladiesss]

[--a sudden, semi-horrified 'ggk' sound.] No way!

[detectivewonder]

Just checking.

[ladiesss]

Just checking? Ugh... [she slumps down and kinda disappears under the edge of the camera frame.] Boys are so weird.

[detectivewonder]

I was asking because of the ratings. Not because -

[He stops, rallies.]

I mean, not that I wouldn't ask you. Pretty and literate is a good combination. But I wasn't. Scout's honor.

[ladiesss]

[she does appear in the camera frame again, squinting suspiciously at him.]

...I'll let you go this time, on account of your flattery.

[detectivewonder]

Hey, don't sell yourself short - who says it was flattery?

[ladiesss]

I say it was flattery. Still counts.

[detectivewonder]

Okay.

Anyway, I'll see what I can pick up, and donate to the library as soon as I can.

[ladiesss]

[she sighs a little. phew.]

Okay. ...Thanks, it'll be super-helpful.
