[donkeyballs]

That's not it.

Not exactly.

Just feels like I'm missin' half my limbs, and I ain't even talkin' about my arm.

[marineris]

you mean the roci?

[donkeyballs]

Yeah.


[ There's a pause of several seconds before he follows up: ]

An' I know that sounds strange, but.

Guess I didn't quite realise just how much I'd grown into her.

[marineris]

it's pretty obvious, the way you talk to her.
maybe they've got her docked somewhere on the station.

[donkeyballs]

[ The way you talk to her. Not about her. Of course Bobbie would have heard it, if she was on the Roci, but it was never going to stop feeling Weird when she brought up things that he didn't remember.

He didn't point that out, though.]

Ah -

I just like being able to bounce my brain off her, every once in a while. [Even if it made the rest of the crew look at him weird when he used the term 'we'.]

She's the finest damn ship I've ever been on, she deserves a warm voice and a gentle touch.

Damn, I hope so. I hate to think what the hell would have happened to her, otherwise.

[marineris]

nothing beats martian engineering, even if the un likes to dream about it.
she's a good ship.

[But.]

you realize it sounds like you're talking about some girl you're pining after back home, right?

[donkeyballs]

You find me a girl like the Roci and I'll consider pinin'.

[marineris]

what? fast and quiet with big guns?

[donkeyballs]

Able to give me a gravity-assist no-drive flight path around four moons in 4.0 seconds

[marineris]

you've got a ridiculously high bar, sailor.

[donkeyballs]

Ain't my fault if no one can hope to compare

[marineris]

i guess we'd better find her for you then, huh?

[donkeyballs]

That's the plan.

Though we need to find the Cap, too, and that ain't going as well as I would like, either.

[marineris]

i haven't found any sign of chrisjen, either.
want to help me punch one of the doors until it opens?

[Dumb joke, Bobbie.]

[donkeyballs]

Think I'd like to keep my other arm, for the time being, but maybe I can kick at it for you.

[marineris]

it sounds like we might make a good team, unless you manage to hurt yourself again.

[donkeyballs]

Just don't try to break any bones if a door tries to melt on you.

Alright, seriously, though-

At the moment I'm workin' on securing a vac suit and seein' if I can get Apollo to give me a ride out around the station, try an' see if we can find a hangar bay.

[marineris]

yeah?
what's his deal, anyway?

[donkeyballs]

Damned if I know.

He can fly. Doesn't need a vac suit. And is built like a martian flagship.

[marineris]

wonders never cease, hey?
i have no god damn idea what's going on anymore.

[donkeyballs]

You and me both, sis, but I swear it's true.

[marineris]

[Bobbie wonders if she should start keeping count of how many nicknames he gives her.]

as long as he's on our side, i'm not complaining.
just don't get yourself killed, alright?

[donkeyballs]

Trust me, I ain't eager to venture out until I know for sure that I'll survive the experience.

Already tried hypoxia. It ain't my favourite passtime.

who needs html

[marineris]

let's skip that this time. is there anything i can do to help out?

Re: who needs html

[donkeyballs]

Keep your eye out for any vac suits an' let Amos know. I trust him with them before I trust myself, he'll make sure nothin' we use is gonna kill us.
