Second Flight [text]

Who: Kaylee Frye and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: November 25th

so is it normal for a bunch of people to just leave in a few weeks of each other??

seems like my ship can't keep anybody and it's bumming me out a little :(

don't make any sense to me to bring people here then just send them home

i guess I'm trying to make sense of it all :(

is there some sort of pattern? any kind of logic to it

Not that I've seen. I daresay they'd claim it was for ratings.

well they can shove their ratings as far as i care

but they don't care, really, do they

they didn't even reply when i tried talking to them

They don't ever reply, as far as I know. When you're in that position of power, consideration of others isn't a priority.

they sound a bit like the alliance

that's my goverment back home

they're a bunch of folks with power who think they know how people should live their lives without actually stopping to listen, too

That is what every government in power thinks.

[He is veritable sunshine on this topic.]

so for me it's pretty much the same here as it was back home as far as who's pulling the strings

figures

That's unfortunate. But the key difference is, here isn't home.

no, it isn't

and back home i never had tv cameras on me 24 hours a day either

I've heard it's a popular form of entertainment in some eras. I personally don't see the appeal.

Me neither

i bnever watched much television, though

give me an engine to work on and I'm happy :)

I'm not much for television either. I have never owned one.

Were you assigned as an engineer?

I preferred the company of my ship and crew, and my repair manuals, even if i knew a better way a lot of the time

yup! I worked on ships back home, too, always had a natural talent for it

Do you mean ships like these? I've been assigned as an engineer, but this is beyond the capabilities of my time.

yep!! are you from earth? i am most definitely not

the year was 2517 for me, and humans left earth behind a long time ago

Earth, 1983. No one has left Earth beyond reaching the moon, human or mutant.

[At least as far as he knows. Plenty to be dealing with on terra firma for now.]

Wow

it's hard for me to try and picture that, never being able to leave atmosphere or go planet to planet

I have heard that from a number of people here.

the fleet really does bring in all kinds!! i like it, though, meeting new people is one of my favorite things
