Hi everyone, we’re going to be passing through our first transit point in about 19 hours. Given the timing, if you haven’t jumped before, I strongly recommend just sleeping through it.
I also strongly recommend not drinking alcohol or anything that would affect your inner ear prior to jump! If you need something to help you fall asleep, please reach out to me or @hhollywood for sleeping aids.
If you must stay awake during the jump, please note that common side effects include nausea, disorientation, short-term memory loss, hallucination, and a general sense of déjà vu. If you start experiencing anything like that, please report to medical immediately.
I’m sorry if this is obvious, but … should we be moving?
We are exactly where we need to be.
@niah, maybe don’t bother our navigator prior to departure.
Sorry! I didn’t mean to distract you Zalmux.
You did not. I retain sufficient processing capacity to plot the next transit and participate in up to 255 distinct discursive contexts.
weird you tell me to shut up all the time
Some contexts are more taxing than others.
