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.]

There are empty warden dorms.

Just set them up with rooms if you care. Who's going to stop you, the fucking owl?

🥴 sorry for the delay

Well, full disclosure: I'm making Rhys stay in the dorms. I'm in there too. I don't think they're so bad, not when there's an end in sight.

But if you guys want a private shower I'll look into it. I think the cabins stay locked until there are wardens to occupy them but
[ they have to be cleaned sometime ] I might be able to figure something out.

lol nw we all have lives ........ for now 🔪

Locks can be dealt with. I'm not an expert or anything but if it took a genius to break a lock the 7-11 wouldn't need to advertise that the register only has one day of cash.

[Wait. No. He deletes that before sending the comment. He absolutely doesn't want to put the idea into the public conciousness that locks on this ship can be broken. That defeats the purpose of having a locked door to be behind at night so the lunatic asshole with the pulp villain scar can't drag him around in his sleep.]

You mean the actual coffins that don't lock and have nowhere to change clothes in private?

Hmm.

Can I have your room?

can't wait till I'm dead and can rp all the time

[ He'd assumed if the locks were easily broken Volk would not be asking, but also: don't make me read all those infopages!! ]

I've been thinking of it like camping. [ Yes, some of us do camp surrounded by psychopaths. ] But I take your point.

To shower? Sure. But I'll still be able to get in. I always thought that was...distasteful, on the other ship.

I don't want to give the room to any one inmate, you know? But if you need it for a night or a week I can do that.
saklas: (of the bell curve now.)

Astronauts aren't fucking homeless.

No.
