Flight 003

[whatatoolhewas]

Hey, see all this crazy shit going down? Guess what-- we're apparently nicely secured down here in the shuttle bay thanks to my buddy Hotspur. It's a big area, so we can fit a good amount of people, and numbers are good! But you know what's also good? Not having everybody in the same place waiting for the demons or whatever those things are to get find a way to, I don't know, open the airlocks from someplace else or something and kill a ton of people.

If you can't find another safe space or a space you can make safe, come on down. If you can hole up elsewhere, do that! Find it and sit tight. Listen to that Dean guy, he talks like Shepard some of the time. Otherwise? I got a deck of cards, some snacks, and a shuttle with some crappy seats for you to sleep on if you're close by and need a safe space.

You know. I'm almost kind of glad there's hardly anyone in engineering these days.

I'm just now reading up on what's been happening, and boy did I miss a lot.

[whatatoolhewas]

Yeah, being out of touch may not be a good idea.

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

I can take care of myself, but yeah, kind of realized that was a bad idea.

Been too busy trying to get the hang of most of these systems, but I'll drop down by the shuttle bay for a game of cards or two.

[whatatoolhewas]

Oh good. We could use a couple, maybe we'll get some poker going.

[re_imagining]

That is kind of you to offer sanctuary.

[whatatoolhewas]

Kind, nothin'. Just sensible and watching out for the civvies.

[re_imagining]

'Civvies'. I assume you were -- are -- military?

[whatatoolhewas]

Yeah. Private sector now [if you can call Cerberus 'private sector'] but I was.

[entrapments]

You guys are gonna be okay out there, right?

[whatatoolhewas]

So long as this doesn't turn into a protract siege the most we're going to have to worry about is people getting a little rank if it goes more than two or three days.

[entrapments]

I don't suppose we've found any febreeze or something just laying around.
For emergency hose downs?

video;

[whatatoolhewas]

Don't know what that 'febreeze' is, but I think we'll manage.

[askedtobe]

If only I knew how to play card games.

[whatatoolhewas]

Hey, man, no problem. I can teach you.

[askedtobe]

Yeah? Maybe i'll come on down then, it's not like i've gotten to see much of the ship, anyway.

[whatatoolhewas]

Well, now is probably not the best time for an all encompassing tour of the good ship Tranquility -- what with brainjacking rogue demons and all. But come on down, play some cards, hang out, wait for the crap to pass.

[askedtobe]

Don't worry, I didn't mean I was gonna take a tour of the place. Demons aren't exactly my speciality. But i'll at least get to see the place on my walk over.

[whatatoolhewas]

Nah, I didn't think you did. Just yankin' your chain, brother. Trust me, they aren't mine, either. Give me a rogue unshackled AI over this crap any day.

[askedtobe]

Wouldn't know what to do with one of those, either.

[whatatoolhewas]

Yeah, most people don't. No problem.

Anyway, if you want to mosey on down here we'll be here. So far it's just a couple of us, no big deal. Probably a good idea if we keep the party small, anyway.

[askedtobe]

Yeah, sure, don't see why not. Get to know a few more people on the ship and help out in the process.

[lethalforce]

And salt?

voice;

[whatatoolhewas]

Can't say we have a lot of salt. Iron, but no salt. Could use a salt delivery.

voice;

[lethalforce]

That's what the future gets for being so damn healthy. If we had a McDonalds up here we'd be set.

[but, he may or may not swing by the kitchens to see if he can't round some up.]

voice;

[whatatoolhewas]

Man, tell me about it. I totally want to go to 50% adult obesity rates. Then even I can outrun someone and not be flavor of the week for whatever's trying to kill us.

voice;

[lethalforce]

I though this was invasion of the body snatchers?

voice;

[whatatoolhewas]

Yeah, and I still want to run from the snatched bodies if they come after me with a knife.

voice;

[lethalforce]

How many people you got down there?
