[ The video feed shows Toshiko at her Comms station, looking exactly like every other resident of the ship who has gone for days without a decent night's sleep or a shower. Yes, she is still on duty. ]

Nice to finally have the lights and heat back, isn't it? I'd like to ask everyone a favor. If you happen to stumble across a little piece of equipment like this- [ She holds up a small, crude bundle of circuitry and metal ] -don't panic. It's just left from an attempt we made at tracking the source of those sounds we all heard over the network. A failed attempt, unfortunately, but you can't fault us for trying. In fact, if you find one, we'd be grateful if you'd drop it back by Communications for us.

And by the way, I'm seeing chatter about some changes to our decor. Do I even want to ask?


[OOC: Action for Comms folk is open, network only for everyone else until after Isaac has a chance to make her go back to her room. ]

It's actually a lot easier to nap in these chairs than you'd think. And we had sandwiches and coffee. [ Ages ago, but it's not like she's keeping to a meal schedule. ]

You all right?

Neither of those are answers to my question, but I could understand if the chair naps are going to your brain.

I am, yeah. The cold doesn't bug me much, at least.

I promise, mother, I'll sleep soon. Better? [ The grin is audible. The mother-hen thing is cute, Jenna, and occasionally necessary. ]

That's some comfort, then. Are the gardens clearing out now? I suppose everyone's relieved to get back to their rooms and find out what other disturbing things the ship has decided to treat them with.

It'll be better when you eat a sandwich not in that chair and sleep. [ she is getting that sense, tosh. ]

Slowly but surely, yeah. I think everyone's still a little sluggish and freaked out, but whatever weirdness we get this time is small potatoes compared to a hot shower and a real bed-- at least, that's my take.

As soon as we have things sorted out in Comms. But everyone's been pulling back to back shifts for days, and some of us are more used to doing that than others.

Oh god, what I wouldn't give for a bubble bath, though.

Science people. [ like jenna never pulled an overnighter in her life. ] For scary geniuses, you're all a little out of it when it comes to the day to day, huh?

...in a whirlpool tub oh god, I hate myself now.

Some people like nine to five jobs where they can have dinner with the husband and kids, some people like working sixty hours on coffee and pizza and then sleeping for two days straight. 'Course, that's probably part of why they don't have a husband and kids.

[ Oh the ideas spinning through her head now. ] ...I bet I could make one.

And some of us just planned on being in school and eating ramen until at least thirty.

[ TOSH YOU DEVIL WOMAN OF A TEMPTRESS ] I'm in a committed relationship so don't take this the wrong way, but if you make a whirlpool tub I will have your children.

Uni was all right, but I don't know that I'd want to go back. Though I sort of am sorry I never had the chance to go for an advanced degree.

[ That gets a real grin. ] I'll hold you to that. Though you might have to help me ferret out a good place to set up.

I miss it, honestly. Life... kind of took a turn there and changed my plans, but I had the best years of my life in college.

[ tosh you don't understand she will love you until the end of time. ] Anything I can do? Yours, without a question. Whirlpool tub, Tosh. I haven't taken anything but a shower in almost a year-- the pools don't count.

I enjoyed my classes and what I learned. But I have a feeling we didn't share the same kinds of experiences.

Well, I think the big obstacle really is just finding or constructing the tub part of that equation. Find me someone who can cover that? The mechanical portion is easy peasy.
