[ There are a lot of reasons to post something like this. Carolyn is ignoring the ones that are more personal to her, but she makes it text to prevent anything from leaking through. ]

If you were to leave the ship right now, permanently -- whether it was on a shuttle, to a station or new ship, or a planet -- what is one thing you would try to bring with you?

Other than people.

[briefly]

Nothing, I think. It's not like I brought anything of value with me to begin with.

I'd just want to go home.

[suddenlycaptain]

and if 'home' isn't where we're headed?

[briefly]

Then I will probably start crying like the grown woman I am.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ welp. ]

You wouldn't leave anyway?

[briefly]

... Difficult question.

I suppose I'd - rather stay, if there was still the hope I'd some day manage to get back.

[suddenlycaptain]

and if not?

if the ship is breaking apart, systems are failing?

[briefly]

Then I'd leave. I'd rather be somewhere I can still help people.

[suddenlycaptain]

what do you do here, on the ship?

[briefly]

Officially? I'm part of security. Unofficially, anything and everything I can.

[suddenlycaptain]

one of tyke's. [ if this were anything but text, there would be a faint note of approval there ]

keep an eye out for more shuttle fuel on your patrols, would you?

[briefly]

That's right, Tyke.

[a pause-] Shuttle fuel? Who should I bring it to?

[suddenlycaptain]

me.

[briefly]

I don't think I got your name, sorry.
