[His voice is clear but careful, unsure about using this system yet]

So I get that there are robots who are human here, and aliens who are normal, humans who are from other planets or timelines, time travlers, space travlers and what have you. None of that is really all that surprising I suppose. While talking to someone else though... I just got to ask. How many of us got some weird supernatural powers?

[There is a bit of a pause before sighing in a bored like tone and asking:]

Also, some advice on things to do around here? That would be great because I need something to work on. What do you do on this ship to keep busy?

[Added a few minutes later]

What's the computer system like on this tub? Anyone had any success getting into it?

[What to do... well.]

Walk around and get lost, try to make a proper map, try all the lifts to see which ones work, make popcorn and watch a video in the media library, pay a visit to your next-door neighbor, solve puzzles, fix a shuttle, admire plants in the Oxygen Garden... just a few suggestions.

Trying to get into the computer network's another one, although I've had just slightly above zero luck doing so.

[the_crowing]

[.....]

[Thank you for replying. This actually made him...chuckle? yep...]

I talk to one person and they say don't wander off, the next tells me to get lost. [he's actually chuckling about this, which is rare lately]

Thanks. So... those are some pretty good ideas. Especially fixing the shuttle one.

[The computer interests him more though] What kind of system is it running on anyhow? You know?

[madmaninabox]

Oh, there's only so much wandering off you can do, even on a ship this size. No matter how lost you might get, you know you're always on the ship. Hit the vacuum of space, you'll know you've gone too far... And actually, fixing a shuttle's what I've been up to for most of the past month. Along with Jack Harkness. You're welcome to join us if you've got the skills. Could have a Shuttle Fixing Club.

...But the computers, yes. Whoever set them up, they put in some wild firewalls. You might have better luck taking a job on the ship that gives you access.

[the_crowing]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the vacuum of space. I'll stick to the insides, I think. [Hmm... what's with all the 'clubs' around here anyhow?]

Yeah? I'm not the best, but I'm a fast study. [He can almost talk to machines, it seems. That will only get better in time. For now, he's curious] If anything I'd be willing to give you guys a hand?

[wait...] Jobs? You can pick up jobs on the crew?

[madmaninabox]

Absolutely, if you don't mind the jumpsuit. Ward and Resnik were left all on their own when the colonists disappeared. Be a nightmare maintaining a ship like this with only them.

[the_crowing]

Makes sense I guess. Can't hurt to try. I keep hearing about these guys. How is it they got no idea what happened to their crew but are still hanging around here?

[madmaninabox]

Sort of the thing about mysterious disappearances. They're all mysterious. You could choose not to believe them, but I prefer the benefit of the doubt. Fastest way to get nothing done is to start giving in to unfounded suspicion; anyway, stranger things have happened in the history of the universe.

[the_crowing]

Stranger things... yeah, you're telling me. [he rubbed his head, frowning at this though. Hew knew a lot stranger lately. Most of it happening to him too... hnng]

I don't know what's going on, but so far it's nicer then "home" and clean. If I can help out somewhere, I wouldn't mind giving a hand.

[madmaninabox]

Hand, foot, allen wrench, whatever you'e got to give. [He points to himself.] Doctor, by the way. Yes it's my name, no I'm not the ship's Doctor, yes I've more or less resigned myself to how many times I'm going to need to explain that.

[the_crowing]

Doctor? Huh, good name. Nice to meet you. I'm... um, Claudio.

[madmaninabox]

Claudio. Good to meet you, too. Come 'round the hanger deck anytime you like; only give us a shout to make sure we're there first.

[the_crowing]

Yeah. Alright. Soon as I find way way down there I'll do that.

Thanks.

[constructum]

So you have supernatural powers then? [ yes, she sounds far too curious about this. ]

voice;

[the_crowing]

Ah... wow, no. [He said in mild surprise...] No, no... not really. But I was curious, is all. I mean, we got all types here, right?

[he's not the best liar either...]

voice;

[constructum]

[ somehow or another, she isn't buying that story. and it is evident in her tone then. ] You said us though. So it would be only natural to assume you were including you in this as well.

As far as things to do on the ship - It honestly depends on your interests.

voice;

[the_crowing]

Us as in those of us caught on this tub. You know... "Us" not "Them". But I guess I should have said that better.

My interests are getting off this ship and somewhere not so... enclosed anymore.

voice;

[constructum]

Ah. I see. [ a beat ] Where are you from exactly? [ sorry Claudio, she just needs to feel you out some, she is overly curious as to all the new people. so yes, she wants to know how to approach you with everything. ]

voice;

[the_crowing]

[No worries. He's starting to get the image that it's okay to say where he is from because no one but chase knows what the hell he's talking about.]

Um... it's complex. I mean, not to me but most people don't know it. Heaven's Fence. Ever heard of it?

voice;

[constructum]

[ yep, ariadne clearly has no idea about that. if chase did mention something about it, she sadly missed it. ]

That in the states?
