Hi, everyone.

My name's Richard Rider, I'm of Earth - Terra - twenty first century, and Nova Prime of the Nova Corps, originally of Xandar. And I work for Security here.

Anyway, just wanted to say, since I don't think I've seen anybody talking about it so far. If I'm speaking out of turn, sorry.

One can again enter the unlit corridors away from the inhabited areas of the ship. I say again, though that's not exactly been the case since I showed up here, but anyway.

Those corridors are dangerous. I know I, nor anyone, can actually stop people from going there, [ never mind that Rich is not very fine with the idea of fear controlling one's decisions ] but if you're a recent arrival, please look into the posts made about the recon missions. Look into what happened to Commander Shepard and one member of her team. Talk to people who've been here for a while about it.

Don't go in there blind. Even if you feel you're all alone here, or you're bored out of your mind - your life, and what might happen to you there, does matter. Try to keep as safe as you can.

Thanks for your attention. Nova Prime out.

People could always try using the buddy system.

... I can think of at least three ways in which that can be done, can you be a little more detailed?

You know when you were a little kid and held hands to cross the street? That sort of thing.

I don't know if they haven't tried that. When going in, I mean.

If you mean about making people not go in, uh. You willing to go around holding hands with a lot of people?

[a shrug and a smile] Sure, why not?

[ Rich's eyebrows go up, half in surprise, half in amusement. ]

Huh.

But still, I'm pretty sure some people'd not be that enthused with the idea.

[ It might do the job, but... at what cost? People don't do that well with constant presence of other people, overall. ]

[to be fair he was blatantly lying there, rich.]

Some people are just never happy.

[ To be fair, Rich kind of assumed that may be the case, with the smaller probability that he's a very strange teenager filling up the rest of the options. ]

It's actually not possible to please everyone, in fact.

[well he is very strange, don't discount that anytime soon.]

That's very true. [nodding a bit.] People really hate to actually agree on anything ever. It's the human condition or something.

[ ... noted. And remembered. ]

We just try to move generally in the right direction. It's how things've worked out, this far.

Pretty sure that's been more though luck than anything else though.

[ Rich opens his mouth to argue... ... and promptly just closes it again. ]

Um. Some times more than others, I guess, but, yeah.

[a wry little smile.] The human condition, huh?

[ Innocently. ]

That we're one lucky species? I guess...

[you're not fooling anyone mister.] Crazy lucky. Or maybe just crazy.

[ That's okay. So long as the conversation stays away from being too morbid... ]

Hey, both of those can be true and it still doesn't mean that we're not trying our best, right?

Trying your best can still wind up with you being dead. [whoops]
