My blood pressure, if I had any.

What's the news? How's Almina?

I want blockquotes too.

CALLING: GHOST

Gliese didn't tell you?

yesss

[daggertype]

I was out of it for a few hours. Too busy melting and refreezing.

What happened?

[typeghost]

CALLING: GHOST

HQ sent us another video. You know how they are.

Getting kind of boring.

[daggertype]

Damn it. Uprising?

Are we still dealing with that?

[typeghost]

You say that like we don't deal with it everyday.

[daggertype]

It's different if it's with our crew. We can handle that easy, we've got a tight crew.

Other crews, though? And coming to us? Why us? Because that guy I fought at Sector D was from Almina and he sure wasn't a recruit.

[typeghost]

Yeah, guess so. Glad some of us are carnivores, right?

He was the captain. Can't really tell you why he picked us out of everyone, but HQ said we were one of the crewships nearby. Haven't really figured out just how close we were when shit happened.

[daggertype]

Shit.

Shit.

Why am I still alive.

[ He's asking rhetorically; he'd been fortunate that Steve showed up when he did, because if that really was the captain? He'd been dead from the start. But Gliese would've warned him, right? She wouldn't leave him out there if she'd known... what? ]

Why the captain? Do we know yet?

[typeghost]

Do you want me to say you got lucky because I will. That's the only explanation I have.

[ Pause. Food for thought. ]

No clue. Still have to talk to Gliese.

[daggertype]

Luck's unreliable. But that works when it works.

[ And yet. . . ]

I was wondering what an S-Class was doing, skipping from his crew to wherever it is we're in.

[typeghost]

Yeah, no shit. Highly unlikely he just wanted to go sight-seeing. Glad you're still alive though.
