@ship Locate the missing omni-rotator from the Aft Engineering Ring rack.
The omni-rotator is currently in use.
In use by whom?
I am sorry, but I am not authorized to share that information with you.
That’s fine. Just tell whoever has it that I want it back before the start of my shift tomorrow.

Genuine question, not a story: when we hail Lukou next month, do we come up in their system as “bonded cargo hauler” or as “bonded cargo hauler that left Esmeralda about a week before the artifact went up”?
We come up as a bonded carrier in good standing with a clean transit record, current on every filing. I would like that to be the first sentence anyone reads in this thread.
Noted. And our raccoon friend?
@ship, where is Wally?
I am sorry, but I am not authorized to share a passenger’s location without their consent.
Ah, well. It would be improper for me to volunteer information about a paying passenger. And I believe that applies to you as well, Kay.
The raccoon is paying now?
No comment.
@kenv Update: Trap triggered. Target contained and unharmed.
Oh thank goodness. First good news I’ve had today.
See, some problems we can solve.
Is this target a certain paying passenger by any chance?
No details. But I can detain a passenger when the safety of the ship requires it.
So the safety of the ship was at risk?
No, I am simply noting that I possess broad discretion in deciding how to address problems on this ship. Do we have a problem, Kay?
No, none at all.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
