TRAVEL ADVISORY
[At precisely 7 A.M. on the Peregrine's standard time, both CommLink screens and wardens' cabin control panels flicker to life with a live video stream.
The Navarch herself stands in the observatory. Outer space ahead is just stars with a thin yellow streak of light across the middle.]
Good morning, passengers.
Tomorrow we will be passing through an asteroid belt. Our shields are quite formidable and built for navigating these occasional obstacles, but you may notice slight vibrations, tremors, and adjustments through the Peregrine's systems to accommodate the additional power needed for full operation. It is my hope that these fluctuations will be almost entirely unnoticeable, but as this is the ship's first astroid field since its recommissioning, it may be more turbulent than usual.
[A beatific smile.]
When I passed through my first asteroid field, I found it difficult to sleep. If it eludes you as it did me, reflect upon that some cultures consider one's first passage through these circumstances a rite everyone must take at least once in their life. What it means varies from culture to culture, but perhaps you will discover what it means to you.
And if you still cannot sleep, see the infirmary; I trust we have a warden capable of dispensing sleep aids.
[They will, however, give users incredibly exuberant technicolor dreams about cartoon unicorns. An inconvenient side effect, but sleep is sleep.]

I don't think that's what James intends. The overly chummy thing doesn't suit him.
[A little too broody for that to go on for longer than a moment, she thinks. Silco is spared.]
no subject
Well, it's shitty of him.
no subject
A little. It's why I asked him to remember to be mindful. But I also think Silco can handle someone being a little shitty.
no subject
I think he's already dead and in prison and shouldn't have to. The little things add up. That was my point.
