[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.

[marineris]

got it.
so what's your theory, anyway? amos says he doesn't have one.

[donkeyballs]

On the station?

Hell if I know. I thought maybe get got the Roci caught in a wormhole, or somethin', but it don't make sense. I can't explain anyone else on this station, or the station itself. Honestly, Gunny, I ain't even sure it's worth thinkin' about. Just runnin our heads in circles.

[marineris]

it seems worth figuring out how they got us here, at least.
what if we find the roci and don't have enough fuel to get back?

[donkeyballs]

[ There was a long pause. ]

Bobbie

Short of a miracle... the Roci ain't gonna get us back. Unless I can figure out what got us here in the first place. Even completely full, we're thousands of light years out. At least. An' I don't even know what direction to head in.

[marineris]

figured.
so what do you want to do when we find the roci then?
get down to that planet? hang out and drift? hope there's a teleporter attached?

[She's getting a bit testy, not at Alex necessarily, but at her own growing sense of helplessness.]

[donkeyballs]

Scan the hell out of this whole system, see if we find any weird anomalies, then hope to god that's what got us here in the first place.

Beyond that I ain't gonna say no to taking a look at that planet.

[marineris]

[That's something. Not much, and not anything she can really help with, but her current plan is "tear apart the station looking for answers", so she can't say much.]

at least it'll be something to do.
i might go crazy if we don't get one of those doors open soon.

[donkeyballs]

Think I might already be beatin' you there, Gunny :)

But somethin's gonna shake loose soon. I can feel it.

[marineris]

how do you do that after all the crap you've been through?

[donkeyballs]

Do what?

[marineris]

the unending optimism.
