Hi.

First things first this isnt going to be a lecture. Tensions are high enough and Ive barely been here long enough to have the whole history down yet. (Working on it) Besides, you've already herd plenty of it. So this isnt about that.

[ Not overtly, anyway. He's trying to do the "subtlety" thing. He's not taking notes or anything. ]

I'm Doug by the way. Mostly I'm trying to figure everything out still, you know. That sort of thing. I'm a curious and openminded sort of person wich is why I have some questions:

1. Whats your favorite thing about being here?
2. And least favorite thing?
3. If you had to make up 1 rule what would it be?
4. Why's the coffee so bad & Are there vending machines (where)?

Thank you thats all.

Because most of it's instant. Pretty sure some of it's never even seen a real coffee bean, just caffeine and artificial coffee flavor.

[He isn't in the mood for surveys but he has Opinions about coffee, okay]

[ Coffee opinions are important. ]

Unbeliveable that they can put a whole fleet of people on the moon in no time at all but they can't invent a better way to make real coffee. I love the future.

[moralperil]

1. That the people I care for continue to survive.

2. It's claustrophobic.

3. Don't be mean.

4. It's probably decades old.

[mallarkey]

1 & 2. Both good ones. I think I really took walking outdoors for granted befor now. Even rain.

3. How mean? Say on a scale from sarcasm to sadism.

4. Is it actually?

[ensorceler]

4. There is better coffee if you know where to seek.

[mallarkey]

Pretty mysterious. Do I at least get a hint?

[ready_to_bloom]

1) It's a very different place from my home and I am learning new things.

2) It's so cold here.

3) Read the instructions thoroughly first.

4) I am unfamiliar with vending machines.

[mallarkey]

1. Learning anything intresting so far?
2. I think its further from the sun then earth. Its pretty lousy I completley agree.
3. Wich instructions or all of them?
4. All they are is snack machines. Very convenient though.

Sorry its a little complicated with all the questions, forget the numbers if you want. This is all very intresting to me, I also like learning new things.

[notadamnvampire]

1. Traveling to interesting places in time.
2. That whole war thing
3. Work together.
4. Because people with no taste are getting the coffee supplies, I think.

[mallarkey]

1. Got a favorite?
2. Thats a pretty big one. Good point.
3. What about disagreements?
4. That must be it. Because its garbage isnt it?

Forget the numbers if you want & thank you for the answers so far.

[fe_male]

1. the people
2. the other people
3. no mission is finished until the alcohol is retrieved
4. don't think they had plans for vending machines up here. corporate coffee's always bad though

[mallarkey]

1 & 2. So like anywhere else.
3. I like it. "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom." Or however that one goes. Its pretty dry up here.
4. Why not? & Not where I work. Is it a budget thing?

(You dont have to answer with the numbers by the way)

[wipeyourfeet]

Hey Doug.

1. Nothing.
2. Sharing a room with Travis.
3. No mutinies.
4. I don't know. I'm used to crappy coffee but this takes the cake.

[mallarkey]

Hey. Hows it been going?

1 & 2. Sorry to here it. Really all of its bad?
3. Very good point. Probably even a good rule 1 if there was a list.
4. Its gotten me to start considering switching to tea. Or hot water.

You dont have to answer with the numbers [ He's just. Gonna tell everyone that. ] & thank you for answering. Its helpful.

[anklets]

The coffee is pretty terrible, isn't it?

text

[mallarkey]

Very high up there. I might of had worse at a gas station once.

text }

[mynameonyourpanties]

1. The fact we're not dead, plus how many people can say they've been to the moon? [Travis is so optimistic]
2. Sharing a room with Wes.
3. No fighting against the system, it'd never work in your favor.
4. Because no one's happy unless everyone's miserable. Also, if you find a vending machine let me know, I've been dying for some decent snacks.

[mallarkey]

1. Thats a good point. Only you and a handful of astronauts.
2. You guys really dont like each other huh?
3. Definately didnt work in anyones favor this time around.
4. Promise that I will. Eat enough freezedryed shit, some good oldfashioned salt and sugar starts to sound like the best meal on earth. Doesnt look good though.

Thanks for answering. Dont worry about sticking with the numbers.

[vaccination]

1. It's nicer than home
2. the people who think mutinies are good ideas and are fucking surprised when bad shit happens
3. word limit on the network unless you prove you deserve more
4. no idea coffee tastes ok to me

[mallarkey]

1. Sorry to hear that. Thats a good bright side.
2. It escalated quickly thats for sure. I was afraid everything was going to blow up for the begining there.
3. Some people talk allot dont they? Ive noticed and I just got here but maybe Id type more if I could do it faster.
4. It does the job at least so maybe it doesnt matter.

Thanks for answering & you don't have to keep using the numbers if its to weird.

[invocation]

1. home is worse
2. its cramped and dark. full of idiots
3. annoying ppl get sent out one of those airlocks. no exceptions
4. its instant & no i looked already

u could go on a mission to get coffee. someone i know did that

[mallarkey]

1. Sorry to here that. At least youre not there then right?
2. Anyplace has idiots to be fair.
3. How annoying?
4. Ive had better instant or at least I imagined I did. I dont know if Id go off just for coffee though, maybe coffee and something else.

Thanks for answering & you can forget about the numbers if you want.

[duplicitoussight]

1. The view ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
2. Everything's been a lot more chaotic since we moved here, to put it lightly (・_・ヾ
3. Play nice with each other lol
4. Good coffee's been erased from this timeline, sorry, sorry.

[mallarkey]

1. Its a nice view...lots of stars.
2. Here the moon or here in general?
3. This is a great one. Huge mess otherwise.
4. I cant even tell if youre joking because for all I know that could be completley true.

Thanks for answering & dont worry about keeping the numbers if you dont want.

text. i feel like i should apologize lLJSDF

[velveteened]

1. Seeing new places!
2. ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ) How cold it gets on the moon.
3. Everyone should use emotes! (｡´∀｀)ﾉ
4. Ahaha I don't think anyone knows that & I'm sure you've heard the answer to this already.

never apologize, never ever

[mallarkey]

1. You got a favorite one?
2. Youre not the only one! No fires allowed either right? Thats tough.
3. I don't know what emotes is?
4. Yeah it seems like no one knows. Now its just a retorical question.

Thanks for answering & don't worry about using the numbers anymore if you dont want.

[unmasking]

[Peter doesn't answer the questions because his favorite thing about being here is being alive.

And that's something he's kind of keeping to himself.]

Maybe we should genetically engineer coffee beans. But did you hear about the simulations, Doug?

[mallarkey]

If its possible I want to know why people arent already? Youre clever Pete.

[ He means that, as possibly sarcastic as his clumsy texting may seem. ]

No. What do they do?

[doubleoohbaby]

Why drink coffee when there's stronger stuff?

[mallarkey]

Stronger stuff helps me sleep. Not wake up.

text

[replicates]

1. that i can do my own thing
2. it's boring
3. don't like rules i'm bad at following them anyway
4. coffee is bad everywhere

[mallarkey]

1. Whats that?
2. I need to give this one more time I think. Id have much rather slept thru the zombies & mutinies.
3. Bad at following all of them? Any rule?
4. Its esspecially bad here. Not criminaly bad but up there.

Thanks for answering & forget about keeping the numbers if you want.

[tilallisoverused]

That it's not on Earth, that there's nothing here that'll get me back to my ship, no hats, and I have no clue.

text

[mallarkey]

Why dont you like earth? Are you an alien or something?...That doesnt like hats?

text;

[cesar]

1. Family
2. The moonbase [ The lack of life, the lack of space. ]
3. Loyalty should be rewarded, betrayal duly punished. The Initiative has no room for those not committed to the cause
4. What is coffee?

[mallarkey]

1. How much of your familys here?
2. I dont like being in space either.
3. What kind of reward/punishments would work best do you think?
4. Its a drink with a strong taste & allot of caffiene, especialy helpful for waking up.

Thanks for answering & you dont have to keep with the numbers if youd rather not.

[endured]

1. There's a lot of things here that I couldn't see back where I'm from. A lot of things that don't even exist back home.
2. That I've been separated from a lot of my family by being here.
3. We don't get a whole lot done when we're so focused on fighting one another, so maybe hold off on the matinees until everything else has run its course.
4. Probably the same reason the food is so bad.

[mallarkey]

1. Wich things in particuler?
2. I dont care for that part either.
3. Maybe skip over them entirley better yet. Unless everyones got a common enemy & youre not outmatched.
4. Not exactly the same...unlike the food the coffee would probably be better if it came from a can.

And thanks for answering.

[getoffmyearth]

4. Been too busy to bring back or dig up decent coffee and SOMEBODY stole my coffee pot anyway.

[mallarkey]

You had a coffee pot? Did you used too make your own? To bad no one's even picked up that slack...who steals a damn coffee pot?

voice;

[undealt]

Considering is has the same consistency as the coffee you find in a hospital waiting room, I'm inclined to believe this base was never meant to be a permanent living space.

[Not that he cares. Bad coffee is still coffee. Now the tea situation, on the other hand. That's a tragedy.]

[mallarkey]

Thats almost reassurring actually. I dont know about you but I'd much rather be on some solid ground again.
