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.

Is that the worst its been so far? Up here.

[duplicitoussight]

Yeah, yeah. I'd say stuff like this doesn't happen a lot... but the past few months haven't been the best, rea~lly. Living here in this world is actually becoming very dangerous!

[mallarkey]

Becoming more so then it was already? Dangerous how? Mutiny aside.

[duplicitoussight]

The city got nuked a month or so back, if nobody told you. The UE's getting pretty smart... scary stuff.

[mallarkey]

I did hear. But we're safe up here supposedly?

[duplicitoussight]

Well, nuking the moon would have worse consequences than nuking a city, don't you think?

[mallarkey]

It would, but theres other things can be done aside from nuking.

[duplicitoussight]

Well, if there are, they haven't done it yet (^・ω・^ )
For now, we're safe.

[mallarkey]

For now. Thats good- maybe itll stay that way. Bet we'd notice if they tried something.

[duplicitoussight]

It might be too late to do anything when we notice lol
But I'd like it to stay that way, too.

[mallarkey]

True. In that case we might be better off not noticing. Theres enough can go wrong as it is without worrying about every worst case scenario.

[duplicitoussight]

What about you, then?

[mallarkey]

What about me? What about me what?

[ Shh he's playing dumb. ]

[duplicitoussight]

The answers you'd give to your own questionnaire, of course!

[mallarkey]

Oh they're not important. I havent been here long enough.

[duplicitoussight]

Then what about your first impressions?

[mallarkey]

1. Its a break from the everyday stresses of home
2. Trapped in space
3. Dont kill each other

Thats the best I can do right now.
