scrambling in the aftermath [video]

Who: Billy Cranston
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Red Fish
When: one evening, right now

[It's been fairly quiet on the Red Fish this month, at least with what little time he's spent on it. He's finally started to pad his bank account with all those races and shifts at the garage, but the recent events he'd been on the periphery of? He's now a little worried about their situation.

And a recent conversation with a friend has brought something to mind.]


Hey everyone,

I understand if this is too personal of a question to answer a stranger, but when applying for augment upgrades, what do you tend to focus on? I was initially thinking about improving my station, but knowing what could be out there...improving our self-defense abilities might be the wiser option. We're sitting ducks regardless, but maybe we could use sharper beaks?

Perhaps coordinating with the rest of the ship is the best course, but things change so quickly. I'm worried.

[No more stretching metaphors for Billy. He just smiles and turns back to his work, and passengers of the Red Fish will find him twisting bolts a little more aggressively than usual.]

[Keith nodded.]

I agree. I'm looking at some of it, and yeah. I get it. Like we were talking about at the party, the flash gets ratings, but I really do feel like we need something useful, too.

[He considered it.]

I'm not sure about upgrading the augment. That bothers me a little? But, if it means getting a better station and better ship capabilities, it might be worth the risk.

Have you talked to anyone who's tried upgrading their augments before?

[Keith visibly flinched.]

Are you sure about that? Taking that kind of risk?

Yeah. I can see that. [Keith kind of admired Billy for taking the risk, he supposed, but also, Billy had been around the Fleet for a bit longer than Keith. He'd probably get to that point himself, eventually.] Let me know how it goes.
