...Please tell me you're planning on cleaning that up.

[She'll be nice (for now) and not ask any other questions.]

[poked_heart]

I was thinking just burning it down might be easier at this rate.

[But yes, he will. Granted, it won't be a good job because he sucks at cleaning, but he'll do his best.]

[robitussin]

That seems slightly counterproductive. Please don't make me break in this augment, I've had, like... Eleven months without having to worry about the medical bay.

[poked_heart]

[He raises a brow.]

You're lab support, too?

[say hello to your lab partner in crime, Natalie.]

[robitussin]

Yeah, I'm the only—

[Wait.]

Oh, shit, did we get another one? [This is what happens when she stops paying attention.] How long have you been here?

[poked_heart]

A few weeks. [He snorts.] Not like I've really been in the lab much.

[robitussin]

Well, that makes it slightly better, I guess.

[a pause]

What's your name? I'm Opal.

[poked_heart]

Not like there's much to do. At least there's shit to pass the time with on planet.

[He nods to her.] Dante. You been on this ship long?

[robitussin]

Man, this planet is creepy. I'm giving it a pass.

[she nods in return.]

Yeah. Almost a year, I think? A year in January.

[poked_heart]

Beats being stuck on a ship all day long.

[Someone doesn't handle stir-craziness real well.]

Shit. So it's true then, how long some people are stuck here.

[robitussin]

Oh, man, just wait until you hit your first week or so between planets. That is not going to be fun for you.

[she nods]

Yeah. There are people who have been here way longer than I have.

[poked_heart]

[that's not going to be fun for anyone.]

How the hell have they not gone crazy here?

[robitussin]

You would have to ask them, but honestly, I'm pretty sure most people here are used to really bizarre and kind of shitty circumstances. Makes it more entertaining for people to watch, you know?
