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.

3. i'll let you know whenever i have more than what i've been making in my bedroom. trying to save up for a party atm though
4. that's what we need. more efficiency. there might not be all this ludicrousness lingering around after the mutiny if the productivity were higher

[mallarkey]

3. Making? Like moonshine?
4. I agree. Great group of people we got up here, really good bunch, but you cant make any progress if you sleep through it.

3. like something that wishes it were moonshine because i've never had to try and make this shit before but hey it gets the job done in a pinch and disinfects the bathtub really well when i restart a batch. hard even finding the right chemicals up here
4. whenever we get back planetside, i vote the coffee business gets a kick in the pants

[mallarkey]

3 + 4. I've made moonshine before. [ (A slightly grudging admission, but desperate times.) ] If you need a hand but wed need ingridients. Maybe when we get the coffee. Happy to help with both by now its just good strategy.

[ hey man, the beauty in text is the lack of pause in speech or shift in facial expression, right? ]

7. sounds good to me. I'll let you know when things have chilled out with my potential parolée enough to be allowed out on pm again

Sorry, your what? Or who?

[fe_male]

[mallarkey]

What happened to him? Is this a mutiny thing?

i am so sorry. christmas. :|

[fe_male]

yeah she was one of them

worry not :>

[mallarkey]

What did she do?

[fe_male]

she fucked around with the network during the shebang some

[ which.. eh. sounds kind of bad maybe. ]

i mean so did i but nobody noticed because i'm not one of the aforementioned dumbasses
the other roommate is just a dumbass by the grace and will of god there's no hope for that one

[mallarkey]

[ Uh. ]

Like a prank or a sabotage?

[fe_male]

her or me?

[mallarkey]

Either of you.

[fe_male]

her = sabotage. me = experiment

[mallarkey]

Im guessing you arent going to elaborate.
