Hello. A couple things:

1 -- Are there any licensed therapists around here? Before you ask: yes, it's exactly what it sounds like, and before you volunteer like the good samaritan you are, I should probably inform you that I gave my last counselor a nervous breakdown.

So. Just figured I'd point that out. But hey, why not give it another shot, right? Even better if you know a thing or two about neurocybernetics, but that's not a must. We can work out some form of payment.

2 –- Another vending machine at the station went missing. What the hell is up with that? Whoever's doing this, are you deliberately trying to annoy me and keep me from doing more important work or what, while I'm chasing a vending machine thief. That said, we're low on staff. Go sign up if you have nothing better to do with your time, but don't touch any fucking vending machines. Unless you just want to get a drink, I guess that's okay.

3 -- Your thoughts on pursuing a serious relationship while trapped in this place. Go.

You...

[It's not like the admittance is surprising--even as inexperienced and repressive as Samus could be when it regarded personal feelings, she wasn't that dense to not recognize Adam's emotional strife. Not after all these months, after all the words said and experiences shared.

Hearing it was another thing entirely; giving the suspicion, the feelings a tangible, real form. The sound hitting her ears was as real as all the other physical reactions, like her heart skipping a beat, her breathing quickening and cheeks burning bright pink.

I was so afraid of this.]


Adam...

[Afraid that she would feel the exact same way about him. She can't quite manage the words but she grips his hands--it wasn't even a concern to her that they weren't flesh and blood--what concerned her more, at this exact moment, was that if she didn't hold onto him she'd lose him. Suddenly facing the prospects of damning not only herself, but maybe him too to a lifetime of eternal loneliness seemed far worse than, well, bad luck.

Maybe a second or two after her lips found his, Samus recognized that she was taking a great risk, and a great step towards trusting Adam with not only her feelings, but the notion that they could protect each other from harm and alleviate each other's fears.

That maybe, just maybe, their bad luck could end here.]
