Its been about four weeks. Though I guess I should say Earth weeks. Twenty-seven days since we started turning up. Two since it started happening again.

[Which begs the question, when does it stop? Seventy-two beds on this area of the station. Are they planning to keep going after that?]

Viveca is the name of the AI that spoke to us all then. Some of you may have spoken to her already. She went missing though, a couple of days after we arrived. There was a power cut, she said something about an emergency mode, and then she was gone.

We got a delivery right before that though. Clothes, toiletries, books, food. A bunch of stuff showed up and got split out.

That was when there were twenty-seven of us. Looks like we've about doubled since then. So if you new folks needs something, ask. There's probably someone here who can help.

Speaking of, we're stuck relying on those drops to get fresh food. So don't hog it. There's kids here who need it too.

A guy I know. He cooks up huge batches of food at a time. If you're hungry, check the fridge. Nine times out of ten, he's left something in there you can have.

[And if not, giving Sam a look will probably be more than enough to get him to make something new.]

You've also all probably noticed that you can't get in to the Northern Wing. Its been like that since we first got here, and we've got no idea what's on the other side. It's classified, apparently. Messing with whatever's on the other side would affect us all, so I wouldn't suggest trying to break through.

Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on getting tossed out an airlock if I can help it.

[And that's it. No sign off. No goodbye. No anything. Sorry?]

Pretty much, yeah.

Don't think anyone's set up anything official. But it'd be worth doing. We don't know what's going to happen when we get sent out on missions.

[bindsthedead]

We don't even know what skills will be needed- it could be combat, it could be wilderness survival, or maybe something we haven't even thought of.

[starer]

Exactly. Might as well use the time we've got to pass on whatever skills we can.

[bindsthedead]

We have the facilities for it, anyway. And an armory that can probably produce training weapons.

[starer]

The machines in the armory need material to make weapons. We're not exactly rich in spare parts right now.

[bindsthedead]

Good point. And while I have my sword, training novices with a live blade is a terrible idea.

[starer]

Only a bad idea if they don't pick things up quick enough.

[bindsthedead]

You're not the one who'll need to heal their injuries. And magic can't regrow lost fingers.

[starer]

Just means they won't be able to make the same mistake twice.

[bindsthedead]

They could learn the same lesson with blunted blades and some bruises. And they'd be able to hold a sword afterwards.

[starer]

Don't worry. I ain't actually suggesting you let them loose with a live weapon.
