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.]

[A while before...oops. He's said too much. He blushes and ducks his head.]
I came from a rough part of town.

You too? It looks like you came out it better than I did, at least.
[Gosh hopefully you're telling the truth about this, Billy.]

My situation was...ah, let's just say unique. But we have chances to learn and explore, I'm sure it'll get better for you!

But I gotta say, as terrifying as the thought of fighting aliens, I'm actually really enjoying exploring the new planets. The fact that these aliens aren't paying me too badly isn't hurting either. As it turns out, apparently my singing is appealing to some of these guys. Maybe I could at least buy a weapon of some kind on the next planet we go to.
