[ Again with a small wall of text, though this time there's no obvious indication that it's meant as an Engineering PSA. It shows up roughly 24 hours after Annie's warning about the strange noises in the corridors. ]

Re: the creepy sounds in the hallways.

Sent a few volunteers out into the darker corridors to record video and audio (cheers Raven, Sirius & Murphy), along with Grumpy and Sneezy.

[ Context would probably be useful on the last two, but either he doesn't think of it or doesn't care enough to add it. ]

Not sure whether this is reassuring or not, but analysis of the recordings didn't find much. The sounds appear to be inanimate/non-biological in origin. Grumpy didn't pick anything up in the way of human voices or otherwise obvious signs of life forms.

The noises are a bit like what you'd get from a house settling, just on a much larger scale. That said, it's probably advised that you don't go wandering off into the dark, as per usual.

The lights coming on don't appear to be related to any movement, either, but more a methodical rebooting of basic systems. Unexpected, but nothing particularly alarming on the Engineering side of things just yet.

That's about all we've got, but if you've got any questions, let us know.

[ Natasha only has one, very important, question: ]

Fury and Barton are here?


[ grumpy and sneezy get it natasha is hilarious ]

The walls are talking to each other, and if they're switching the lights on too they could be planning something big. This doesn't sound like the kind of ship with nice plans in mind.

So basically what you're saying is the only difference is engineering's got a crapload more to keep track of

[ Considering he's probably got a whole new set of thigh muscle definition thanks to all the running he does already, he's not thrilled about this. Seriously, he's totally groin-ripped right now, it's like an angry Christmas ham down there. ]

When are we getting the rest of them? At least get Doc in here.

[ focusing on the important things first, right ]

So you're saying this is nothing to worry about.

I can't speak for space ships. My experience is only on vessels powered by wind or steam. Both types tend to settle and make noise in their own way. Are noises of this sort normal on the Tranquility? All this concern about them from fellow passengers who have been here much longer is worrisome, but I arrived here in the most recent jump, and do not know what to think.

Grumpy and Sneezy?

[ let's start with that, giving her a little more time to figure out how she feels about these recent changes ]

gonna be honest, not sure how unsolicited system reboots shouldn't be considered somewhat alarming.

[guess who's definitely being a lot more paranoid about keep an eye on the readouts in engineering these days, it's this guy.]
