@xlbo I’m bussing some stuff back to the galley. Do you need help cleaning up your workspace?
Thank you Dmitri, but that is not necessary. I know exactly where everything is.
I can see six coffee cups from here.
Some of those cups hold sentimental value.
That’s disgusting.
Today’s mess: Protein cutlets (PCA Texture C), grain composite biscuits (crumbly).

@ship Can you locate a package I ordered? Tracking says it should have come in on the last shuttle from Jatayu, but I haven’t seen it.
The package labeled “Orbital Regulatory Digest 383.38” is in your office locker.
Huh, I didn’t realize I had a locker.
Acknowledged.
hey @mayak why does your mom drink six cups of coffee every day but also complain about how bad it tastes?
because she’s addicted to caffeine AND complaining
hey are you doing your alignment thing with me?
maybe
OK, so the takeaway is my mom lacks the ability to show normal human affection and criticism is her go-to response for anything she actually cares about.
You sound bitter!
so’s her coffee
@mayak
so’s her coffee
Maya, just a friendly reminder that the chat is ship-wide.
Oh I know.

@prakash What’s your favorite modification you’ve ever made to a ship?
I added underglow lighting to one of the Wandertaube’s shuttles. You know, like racing ships have?
Go on.
It looks amazing. Purple and green gradient that cycles with the engine rhythm.
Oh, can I see?
Uh … not yet.
It’s not done?
That particular color combination and frequency is triggering for the ship’s deflector system.
The deflector system with the sensor array that you overclocked.
Ship nearly blasted the shuttle out of the sky when he turned it on.
We are currently at an impasse over whether the deflector system or the underglow lighting needs adjusting.
This man is a menace.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.

What’s wrong with Citroix?
It’s not a lime. It’s just empty sourness.
I get that limes are better than Citroix, but are they 15 bits per lime better?
Limes do not cost 15 bits.
Shipping and handling does.
Your question presumes a feedback loop analogous to certain human physiological responses. I process fear, joy, anger as data patterns with predictable trajectories, but these are not feelings.
sounds like you’re grumpy
I am not grumpy.
definitely grumpy
