TEXT [AUGUST 28TH, EARLY MORNING]

[squadgoals]

Hi all, just some quick housekeeping:

• I've doubled the security on the Mako. Fair warning: any attempts to hack its console will result in consequences. This is not a challenge! If you need it for anything, please get in touch with me first.
  
  
• It seems I'm your new Assistant Head of Tower duties, with Ryuuzaki functioning as our Head. I'm looking forward to working with all of you from here on out.
  
  
• I've already spoken with Ryuuzaki regarding my transfer from Engineering to Assistant Head of Tower duties, but I still haven't managed to locate how I was approved and placed in the role in the first place, as it was an application process. If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
  
  
• I was absent for a month in cryosleep, so my apologies for not being completely abreast of every on-board situation for the time being. Unfortunately, I have nothing new to add to cryosleep: I don't know what brought it on, I didn't go anywhere, and I don't know what stopped it.

To all crew old and new, feel free to message me with questions at any time, or stop by Mero Deck #022 for a chat. Or while the doors are still portaling, walk through my room unexpectedly.

Not directly.

But I haven't asked her hers either, so who am I to judge?

[There's a moment between texts, then:]

(It's bacon, in case anyone's asking.)

[soldiergenes]

Not a bad choice.

But I appreciate you answering all my questions. It'd been bothering me for a while.

[squadgoals]

Not a problem. I can't imagine you're the only one!

Since we're on the subject, though: favorite food?

[soldiergenes]

Hard choice, but I'd have to say jerky.

That, or Alaskan salmon.

[squadgoals]

Both good choices, not sure I've tried salmon of the Alaskan variety, though. Big difference?

[soldiergenes]

Well, sometimes I caught it fresh. That makes a pretty big difference.

[squadgoals]

Okay, I'm jealous. I've never been fishing, just listened to people wax romantic about it.

How hard is it to pick up? It looks easy, which probably means it's deceptively difficult.

[soldiergenes]

It takes a lot of patience and a certain amount of finesse with the line, but some of it is just luck and having the right bait.

[squadgoals]

If we end up on salmon fishing planet, count me in. I'm an eager student.

[soldiergenes]

I'll keep it in mind. Here's hoping we'll be doing it for recreational and not survival purposes.

[ As if they'd be that lucky. ]
