[Guess who doesn't deal well with uncomfortable changes in his environment? This guy. Temper frayed to the last strand, it's time for a grumpy rant.]

Yes, it's bloody hot. We all know it's bloody hot. Considering the Agriculture staff are now stuck working in what's turned into the equivalent of the Australian rainforest, you don't have to keep coming and telling us.

I'd also appreciate a stop in the more direct complaints about it, please. I can't fix a problem if the ship isn't registering it as a problem. I've been checking the climate controls here & in engineering regularly since this started, and they are still cheerfully informing me that we're at a comfortable twenty degrees Celsius. And yes, I've gone through the system several times over. There are no errors.

[A pause, because maybe that was information he should have kept to himself. Or taken to one of the ship's more leader-type figures. Or just had a little more tact in sharing.

But then he decides he's just too overheated to summon up any care about it.]

I'm sure I should be taking that as unsettling, but I'm honestly too hot to summon up the energy to get spooked by it right now.

You came in immediately questioning my skills and intelligence, and now you're delivering the most obvious theories as if they're meant to be at all revelatory.

I don't know where you're from, but stating you aren't an idiot has never gained much traction in my experience. You generally have to prove it.

It's called talking it out, have to start from the bottom up. You eliminate the obvious and then your mind starts jumping to the weird conclusions that might not have popped up originally.

Through what, find what's actually wrong with things or proving I won't blow anything up. Kind of vastly different ways to prove I'm not an idiot. I don't want to start and then have it be the wrong thing.

I'm sorry, did any part of my initial message make out that I was open to batting theories around in some stunted attempt to 'talk it out'? Especially with a complete stranger who has shown no signs of having anything valid to contribute to the discussion except questioning conclusions I've already come to.

In your initial message you were mad about other people complaining about the heat and then you complained about the heat. I read it. Figured maybe there was a possibility that in your own heat addled mind you'd realize that and maybe work just a little with thing because people aren't going to stop complaining until you have answer better than the everything's telling you it's a normal temperature.

But since I can see that was a forgone conclusion, I'm going to just back away from this and try and do something more productive.
