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

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

[noprophecies]

well the implant is meant to offer information to do the job, is it not? so at least they are not completely blind going in

goodness, i thought that was exclusive to here. but no, meat does not keep well. i travel by foot often, so i will bring things that are easy to pack and wont go bad quickly

[hot4engines]

true and being able to do the job doesn't mean you want to do it or will have any love for doing it

i love to work on ships but lord knows it aint the job for everybofy

i'm used to meals coming in cube or gel form back home, too, at least here the stuff has flavor

[noprophecies]

that is a very good way to put it. i am tactical on our ship and while it is a bit useless, it is suiting when it is necessary. my work history, you could call it, comes in handy

you mean there are gel things that taste worse than this? gross
