Today’s mess: Phish Pflakes, fried starch cylinders, cucumber slices (limited).
Hi everyone! I’ve organized all the spare cables in the Forward Engineering Ring by gauge, length, AND connector type!
What about color?
Oh, good idea. I’ll get right on that!
@bryce
Oh, good idea. I’ll get right on that!
Bryce, I think Chang was messing with you.
Oh! Well, I’m almost done. Might as well finish.

@cslanet, you around? I’ve got another hydroponics issue.
Hi! Yes, I can take a look.
Although I think Soomin’s available today if you want them? They do know the system better than I do.
No, I asked you. Are you coming or not?
Yes! Sorry. Yes. I’ll be there in ten!
Does anyone have a spare external drive? Mine stopped working and I need to back up some files. I’m willing to pay for the inconvenience.
You could back up to the ship’s network.
I’m afraid my client’s protocols don’t permit that.
Fair enough, I’ve got an old one you can borrow. Swing by Security if you want it.
Thank you. I’ll come by within the hour.
@ifer, I’ve finally had a chance to review your proposal. I don’t think the communication patterns of _procyon lotor_ quite meet the bar for what counts as xenolinguistics.
Oh, but it’s not about Wally specifically. It’s really about how Zalmux communicates regarding Wally!
Zalmux communicates to us regarding many things. Fold-space. Rocks. Other intelligences. There is nothing notable about Wallace the raccoon.
It’s Wally, and what makes it notable is that Wally’s alive and a class of intelligence that’s distinct from both human and construct.
I believe you are overestimating the intelligence of the creature.
@ifer, just reminding you about the chat we had concerning NDAs.
Ah, I must have missed the research constraints you faced here, Ife. Perhaps that is for the best. You have plenty of time to come up with a thesis proposal, Ife. No need to rush these things.
I understand, professor. Thank you for your time.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
