Who: Arthur Kirland and You
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Various places, see headers
When: 22nd-26th

Pathstone/Solace
[The Pathstone might not have been damaged as much as some ships in the fleet, but there were still repairs to be done. And with their former 'super genius' captain (whom he'd never actually got around to meeting, so he'd have to take his crewmates' word on that) missing in action, they were left to Arthur as the engineer. Who knew he'd be so thankful for the augmentation. A space ship was nothing like the engines he'd worked on before.

Arthur was in and out of the ship itself while he worked, either working on repairs inside or ones to the hull and outer systems from the Solace docking port, somewhat splattered and smeared in engine oil. Do excuse him.]


I'd better be able to find some decent tea after this.

Solace: Parks
When he wasn't working on his own ship, Arthur'd taken up a job maintaining a few of the Solace parks. Replacement parts weren't cheap! But on the bright side, Arthur actually liked gardening. Even if these parks all lacked some proper English roses. Still, it was nice to be back in nature after being on a ship for the better part of a month. Well, sort of nature.

He paused from replanting an incredibly generic looking flower to watch the park's resident bird splash around in a birdbath, smiling at the sight. The Brit didn't look up until he heard footsteps behind him, the bird flying off.]

Indeed. It's a good ship. Just be sure not to startle the man in living in one of the shuttles.

[Felix answers that with a lazy smirk and leans against the wall]

That depends on how curious you consider yourself to be, and how little you like surprises. I imagine in your position that statement would conjure any number of questions.

Then asking would be a good idea. In short, though I have never asked why, the man has the demeanor of an only vaguely tamed wild animal. I have gotten the impression he lived on his own for a very long time. I won't say he isn't dangerous, because that would a blatant lie, but he isn't as long as you don't surprise him.
