I'd advise everyone get to medical early, before the jump. Unless this sensitivity issue clears up before then, which I doubt, getting into the pods is going to be more trouble than it usually is.

[ Short and sweet. Probably because her fingers still hurt from trying to work on the shuttle, so she doesn't want to keep holding onto the comm. ]

... that's actually helpful. Do you know when the jump will be?

[ New boy is new. ]

Next twenty-four hours. There'll be an alarm.

... thanks. I woke up on the last jump, so I didn't quite know about preparing myself and such.

No problem.

There are guides, but I think they're a bit out of date. Either way, the jump's happened once every Earth month for the past two years.

I think I figured out about the earth months, at least approximately.

Were the jumps different, more than two years ago, or are you just not sure about the pattern?

I'm an 008. Anyone with a 001 could tell you the pattern was the same for them, but we don't know about before we started to arrive.

Thanks for the clarification. That's... I thought it was approximately like that, but it's good to have the actual data.

You okay, with the. Thing. Everything being too much?

From what we can gather, things started really going to hell after the first jump for the previous crew.

I don't have much choice either way. As long as I pace myself, it's not... horrible. [ But it's not great, either. ] You?

But then they didn't stop the ship from jumping again?

[ Beat, and then in his voice one can hear a self-deprecating smile. ]

I'm thirteen. You know, everything's already chafing, what's a few more things? I'll live.

They couldn't. And as far as we know, stopping the jump drive will kill us.

[ ... teenagers. how do. ]

As much as it may surprise some people I've met, I was never a teenage boy.

... what? I hadn't known that one. Is that a guess, or somebody of the crew or something said it?

[ Well, you're making him laugh. Though he takes care to not hiss right into the mic of the device. ]

You mean I've been lied to all this time and teenage girls don't get hormone rushes and such? Jee-whiz! It all happens like magic!

A bit of all of the above.

[ Really, what can you trust on this ship? ]

Hormone rushes, sure. Chafing... maybe not in the exact same way.

Huh. Noted, thanks!

[ So, so cautiously. Treading on thin ice, he knows. ]

Not even bras?

Well, they're not supposed to.

[ of course her player is fairly certain she isn't wearing a bra for most of the movie... ]

woo fuckin hoo

Problem?

yeah sensitivity issue blows and not in a good way

That I can agree with.

[ pause ]

So you'll be showing up early?

yeeeep got nothing better to do other n throw up

I'd say that Medical may be able to give you something for that, but under the circumstances... it probably wouldn't have the desired effect.

shit no i aint takin anything i smoked some weed right srsly regret it

What happened?

[ Impaired judgment on a spaceship aside, she wants to know. ]

im not totally sure but like everythings become so bright and loud and i felt super fuckin sick still feel kinda sick actually cant eat anything good
