[If in case you don't know Isha, she's pretty much a serial texter. Even if you're about two feet away from her, she's going to text. It's inevitable.

And probably for the best, considering her rising irritation about a very peculiar matter...]

Now, I would start this off by saying something about my vents, my territory, my rules, and so on, but that would be inaccurate. None of this is mine, but it should might as well be by proxy.

That being said.

Here's a rule I would like to impose. It's a very simple rule, really, almost a logical one that even I, a professional lawbreaker, would follow.

Don't put a gun in the vents. I don't care if you're hiding evidence or you're just that paranoid. In fact, I don't even care why you put it there. Keep it out of my vents.

[Just because she's not the biggest fan of this job doesn't mean she has to half-ass it.]

If this happens to be your gun, which I am holding right now, please get it before I decide it's better in more capable hands or in the great vacuum of space. I'm very inept with these things, so you might have to deal with the fact that this may go very wrong in my hands.

Thank you and good day, night, or whatever time it happens to be. You all owe me a coffee or ten for working your vents in this terrible lighting. Q says hello, for those of you who know him. He wanted to end this note nicely.

should've just kept it

[ hi boss hi. ]

can i keep it?

[diamondhack]

No, you cannot keep this gun because if it were used in foul play you'd be ruining anything related to it.

I'm not a particular fan of guns.

[deconstruct]

ruining what? the ship? you know a ton of people have guns here, right?

you were in the vents?

[diamondhack]

My job is to keep the vents clean. I wouldn't voluntarily spend time in vents.

[Except she has, but she'll never admit it...]

not the best for an unclaimed firearm, but just a thought

Wait, what does it look like? Is it purple? It might be mine!

[diamondhack]

You have a purple gun?

[Guns aren't her style but she can appreciate the aesthetic.]

[bilology]

I do! It looks like a gun, anyway.

Or I did have one. I guess it's lost in the abyss somewhere.

If I owe you coffee for cleaning vents, you definitely owe me something a little stronger.

[It's a testament to how important this message is that he replies, even despite how much he dislikes texting.]

Thought you said you were an engineer.

[diamondhack]

[He could've just called her... and he would've gotten a text back, probably.]

remember what I said about sometimes you get jobs that you don't like or relate to you?

this is it.

and I am an engineer, i barely slept for years of my life and i've been trying to make it up ever since.

[diamondhack]

[You're full of shit Pietro]

[ While Snake doesn't make as much use of the vents here as he had at, say, Shadow Moses, there's always the possibility that he'll have to. Hearing that people are stashing guns in them is more than a little alarming. This Isha person seems responsible enough, but what if someone else had found it?

That being said, she admits that she isn't familiar with guns, and that's reason enough for Snake to text a quick reply. ]

Can you tell if the safety's on?

[ One of his pet peeves is improper gun etiquette. ]

[diamondhack]

[Ah, Snake, already he's made the mistake of assuming she's responsible enough.]

I think so. Like I said, I don't use them much, if ever.

[vengeance_driven]

Can I see what the gun looks like? I think I might know where it came from.

[On the other end, someone's deeply sighing.]

One was hidden in the Cargo Bay a while back.

[diamondhack]

[Off goes a picture of the gun.]

really? why is that?

[She said she didn't care but she does care because she's incredibly nosy and that's the only reason why.]

It seems rather foolish for one to leave such a dangerous item so precariously that it may be found by another. I do not presume to know the rightful owner, but I do not believe returning it to them would be the wisest decision. Even disregarding ownership, safety for such a device should be maintained, and they have done poorly to that regard.

text

[diamondhack]

point taken, but being unarmed could be just as dangerous. I wouldn't know who to give it to anyway.

[sketchycharacter]

it's not mine but i'll take it if you don't want it

text;

[diamondhack]

it might belong to someone already but i need to confirm

otherwise you may need to fight someone who has an interest an it

by the way someone else wants the gun you may need to fight over it

I'm the one who has the keys to the cabinet on the shooting range if you want me to lock it up.

[diamondhack]

well since such a thing exists I may take you up on it if no one claims it

I might do it anyway
