[Good evening flooters, have a clearly distressed yet refreshingly well-rested teenager looking anxiously at the network for some sort of reassurance.]

So, is it normal for people to just black out around here? Last thing I remember, we were all stuck on that big welcome ship.

I mean, I know occasionally people go to sleep for a while, but don't they come back feeling like they spent a bunch of time back home? I've got squat.

[You know, aside from the lingering embarrassment and a strong desire to forget that people were in his head.]

Comments

[wallcrawler]

Aren't all worst-case scenarios? They kinda have to be, otherwise they can't be the worst.

[nomirage]

I suppose so, yes. Somehow that sounded more like experience speaking than something hypothetical.

[wallcrawler]

Okay, that first part was, a little. But definitely not the rest of it.

I just didn't want to give you the wrong idea about the rest of the crew. They've all been pretty cool so far.

[nomirage]

[Ah, that explains that. She smiles a bit.]

I understand. I've had no problems aboard my ship either, now that we're back on them at least.

[She hadn't been around that long before being swept off into the whole Calibration mess after all. She's only now really getting to know members of the Starduck's crew.]

[wallcrawler]

Well, hey, at least you wound up with a good crew! Not that there's any bad crews- I don't think- but still. Not like many of us are enjoying our time here, so having good people with you helps.

Which ship did you get put on, anyway?

[nomirage]

I'm on the SS Starduck.

[wallcrawler]

Ah. I think that's one of the few ships I don't know anything about.

[He's...pretty sure that's the one Escha was on? But it's not like they really knew each other. Even calling them acquainted would be a stretch- they'd just both been two of the people working on trying to study the black mist from several systems back.]

Not that any of these ships are really comfortable, but is it upgraded at all? I heard the bunks and stuff can start off pretty cramped.

[nomirage]

I'm not sure really. I believe the rooms must be upgraded, mine at least has a fairly large mattress.

[She's also used to more cramped conditions though, even when she doesn't necessarily enjoy them.]

And I have a small desk.
