Second Flight [text]

[hot4engines]

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

[hot4engines]

so they do it on purpose just to be pricks???

i can believe that actually

[noprophecies]

i wouldn't be surprised in the least

[hot4engines]

i want to give them a piece of my mind next time they remember we exist and talk to us

[noprophecies]

they have only done so twice since i have been here that i have seen, the cowards

[hot4engines]

oh, so they won't even give us the courtesy of a complaint box

do they ever come to us in person or is it just on the screens?

[noprophecies]

its just on the screens. that is why i call them cowards

at least in the last place i was in the overlords had the decency to appear in person

[hot4engines]

that is awful cowardly of them. but i guess if they did come to us in person, they know there'd be a long line of people waiting for the chance to take some revenge on them

[noprophecies]

it is entirely possible, even though i have doubts as to how intelligent they really are

[hot4engines]

how come? i'm curious since I haven't been here for very long

i figure i should start getting to know the enemy, though, so to speak

[noprophecies]

i am mostly saying it to be insulting, because i am sure they are watching us speak

[hot4engines]

oh, gotcha

yeah, if they gave us these comms, they gotta be watching and reading everything that crosses them

[noprophecies]

exactly

i do not put it past them to be listening all the time, but that may be giving them too much credit

[hot4engines]

yeah i'd think it would be too hard to wathc us literally every second of every day

becuae the audience woul;d get bored fast, I'd think

[noprophecies]

i hope watching me tend plants for hours bores them to death

[hot4engines]

IT'D be all they deserve

keeping us like a sideshow attraction

[noprophecies]

what is a sideshow attraction

[hot4engines]

well, where i live we travel place to place, kinda like the fleet does

every now and then we'll stop on a waystation, and there'll be some guy hawking what he swears is an alien in a jar, and charge you 12 bits to come gawp at it like :O WHOA only it's a fake alien

that's a sideshow attraction

where the whole purpose is for people to come in and gawp

[noprophecies]

oh! there are similar things like that as well where i am from. groups who travel saying that they have this or that and one can pay gold to see it

i travel like the fleet does as well, but by foot. there is no technology like this in my world

[hot4engines]

it's the kinda life i love, but it definitely ain't for everyone. my home ship back home's called Serenity and we transport goods

once our cargo hold was full of cows for a month

[noprophecies]

you live on a ship in your world as well? like this? so this is familiar to you

i cannot picture cows being in the stars

[hot4engines]

yup, i just went from one galaxy to the other, pretty much. serenity looks kinda like one of the ships in the fleet, too.

they're a pain to transport, let me tell you. lots of poop.

[noprophecies]

so then at least someone actually knows what they are doing on our ship

i can imagine. they are annoying creatures

[hot4engines]

yeah, and i'm a ship's mechanic back home besides. so if nothing else i can keep us in the sky!!!

cows taste good when they'r steak, but when they're alive, they can be a bit of a pest

[noprophecies]

that is certainly a relief. i do not know if the last one knew what he was doing or not, or if that was even his job. he was quite strange

i cant say ive ever had steak, i dont eat a lot of meat

[hot4engines]

which is a shame, i'm not sure why atroma'd put someone in that position if they didn't care to do the job. of course, i guess not every ship has a mechanic

i don't get a chance to eat it often either, we're stuck with protein a lot of the time like we got here since fresh food is expensive and doesn't keep well on a long trip
