A reminder for everyone on the ship: always be at medical at least an hour prior to Jump. Never, under any circumstances, risk being late. It does not matter what you're doing prior to that; it does not even matter if you are on the brink of some brilliant discovery about our circumstances here. Always get to the Jump early. If you are so much a single second late, you will die horribly. There is no stopping the Jump; there are no excuses, no notes pardoning your tardiness, no ways to get around it. You will die. And there is nothing that is so important as your lives.

Thank you for your attention.

Any new arrivals with a background in law enforcement, the military, or combat in general: please contact either Tyke (001 >> 011) or myself to discuss possible employment with Security.

( he starts to type and then stops and thinks about it. really thinks about it. is he at all ready to type the word 'daughter'. will she be hurt if he doesn't. what is the proper etiquette in these situations.

eventually he finishes the sentence with: ) a family person.
And a friend of my wifes

[jurisimpudent]

Would you deem this support network adequate?

[expect]

What?

[jurisimpudent]

Is this support network adequate to manage your needs as a new arrival on this ship.

[expect]

Why wouldnt they be

[jurisimpudent]

Historically, some people have needed more help; I am asking if this is your situation.

[expect]

Wife and family is pretty good support

[jurisimpudent]

Wife and "family person," yes; naturally.

[expect]

Daughter

[jurisimpudent]

[A pause.]

Why did you not say daughter, in that case?

[expect]

Because its complicated
