[It's that time again! ...good luck, Ximilia]

So, it seems to be just over sixty of us now. More than double the amount that was here when I first turned up. Looks like some of them left though, so I guess they changed their minds.

[Not that he knew most of them. But he has eyes. And a need to keep track of things like that.]

Far as we all know, this is the third time people have been brought here. Ninety-one days since we first started turning up.

Now, I ain't saying I'm an expert. But I'm just going to field a few questions before they come up.

[And undoubtedly leave it to the actual professional once the follow up questions come]

Yes, there's another area called the Northern Wing. No, we can't go in. Yes, we've met someone who seems to live on the other side. No, we can't talk to him.

[Except...that last part might not be true. He hasn't actually asked Viveca if they could talk to him]

We're meant to get a supply drop once every thirty days or so. Spare clothes and supplies are all stored at the end of the common room. You need something specific, speak to Viveca. Ain't promising she'll be able to get it, but can't hurt to ask, right?

If this is your first time in space, talk to Jim Kirk. He's been running sessions for anyone who hasn't been off planet before.

You need to eat more than the average person here, let Dusty Fields know. High calorie rations are marked, but he's keeping track of supplies with a couple of others.

[Oh, right-]

Guess I should also add, you want to get laid, talk to Newton Geiszler. I'm sure the Doc would love to give you a little TLC.

[:D]

If you've got any questions, you're looking for Sam Wilson.

[:D :D]

Because he's a big ol' asshole who acts like he's all serious business, but is secretly a troll.

I'm definitely lower on the ladder when it comes to medical doctor stuff, but I do know my way around a first aid kit? I know a little, but I think Sam'd be more your guy for the medical side of things. We've also got some magic users who can heal injuries and ailments.

[majorbiotic]

What kind of a creature is a troll? [He does not understand your slang there, Newt]

You mean Sam Wilson? Okay, got it. A little strange that this station doesn't have a doctor, though.

[groupiedrifter]

Honestly, I think the station grabs who they can. Not to say we aren't qualified in our own ways, but y'know what I mean. A mixed bag kind of deal.

Also, a troll is someone who messes with people for fun.

But also a real name for a monster that lives under bridges and eats goats.

He can be either one, up to you.

[majorbiotic]

I understand, but I was thinking more of the staff that was here before we all arrived. Unless it was abandoned?

I see. That word has gone out of use in my time, I guess, because I've never heard it used either way before.

[groupiedrifter]

Wwwwweeeeeell, I don't know how much other staff there actually is. Gotta admit, we're not told a lot about the backstory of this ship before we're dragged here. You learned that firsthand, too.

There's a dude who goes into the Forbidden Wing Gasp How Mysterious, and there's an AI who does seem genuine in helping us, but that's all I know about.

BTW bring the word back. Tell someone they have the face of a troll when you're fighting with them. It's a 5-star insult.

[majorbiotic]

That's a little troubling. I have some field medical training but there really should be a doctor on the station. Or at least someone who has enough medical training to act as one.

Not sure how well that would translate. It would be like me telling someone they looked like a krogan as an insult.

[groupiedrifter]

Yeah, that IS something I've been a little worried about. I was thinking about maybe moving toward medical, myself. Not that being a xenobiologist has been unused so far, but people tend to get hurt on these missions. A lot. Way too much.

... What might a krogan be?

[majorbiotic]

One of the species of my world. They're large bipedal lizards, love to size people up to see who would win in a fight.

[groupiedrifter]

Oh, they sound AMAZING!



In like, a studying them way. Not in a fighting way. I would like to not have to fight anymore lizard-like monsters in my life.

[majorbiotic]

I don't know if they'd be willing to let you study them. They've had bad experiences with scientists.

[groupiedrifter]

Man, bummer. I'm a cool scientist, I would only offer the best experience for any alien lifeform out there. Plus I have it on good authority that my music playlist is one of the best in the galaxy.

[majorbiotic]

Not sure that would convince them, either.

You're welcome to look at my biology instead, though. I'm not "alien" but my biology is a little different from the average human. For example, I build up static electricity in my body. I won't ruin the surprise with the rest.

[groupiedrifter]

Can't tell if you're hitting on me or genuinely offering me a lookie-loo at your biology. Either way: YES!

Let's see that static shock, my man!!!! I wanna see my hair stand without gel!

[majorbiotic]

It's genuine. I'll come by when you're free.

[ooc: if you want to thread this out let me know. I'm good either hopping onto Newt's journal or we can do a post-mission thread later, whatever works for you]

[groupiedrifter]

Sounds like a plan, buddy boy.

Try not to get any socks clinging to you from there to here. :)b

[ooc: Totally down for whatever your heart desires! Hit the boy's inbox up if you wanna, or I can wait til post-mission!]
