Transmission 001 [Video??]

[needsnoface]

[There's nothing wrong with your mid feeds, even though staring at an unmoveable glowing box may make you wonder if this is an actual video feed or someone just posting a picture as some odd place holder during a voice transmission. Either way, it's just a glowing blue box to accompany the words.

At least the voice is nice to listen to, all smooth radio announcer like even with the inherent condescending tone to it all.]

Well, quite a welcome there for us new folks I would say. Though I've been assured that's not a common theme....However the observations of such and the resulting fall out has made me realize there may be a small but important aspect of life upon a ship that is lacking.

That being in the form of free time distractions and hobbies, something that any basic psychology will tell you is important in regards to morale and giving an outlet to excess energy, especially in a high stress environment which can be created or naturally occurring. Now some may say that there is enough to do, but even in a military setting free time and giving soldiers ways to burn off excess energy while reducing stress is vital. There's only so many times you can have one run drills or do patrol duties before they snap and all.

So! A bit of a general survey should be conducted yes, in regards to certain activities that would help focus energy and give an outlet for stress that doesn't end with someone being bloodied and bruised in a hall or such. Like painting or poker tournaments, even just some good old fashion book clubs would be good. With how varied this crew is I'm certain we can figure out and set up something everyone can enjoy while we sail through the black void of space.

[ ugh, ai cooties. gross. ]

okay well in that case humor me for a second

if you're an ai and i'm assuming you don't have a physical or corporeal form or if you do i guess you're keeping it on the down low for whatever reason

but IN ANY CASE if you're an ai and lacking a body what the hell do you care about human hobbies?

[needsnoface]

It's quite simple really sentient species, especially humans tend to not deal well when they have nothing to occupy their time. Whether it be productive or just an activity that allows them to bleed off stress in a non harmful way.

It pretty much all boils down to my intents to make certain the crew does not become so bored that more violent or even destructive tendencies don't become common.

Idle hands and all that. Would hate for someone to go on a crew killing spree or bombing a vital part of the ship due to nothing better to do with their time.


[You should really understand what happens when you let people be bored Church, really.]

[kickbancaboose]

[ wow, that's. actually not an awful point. ]

oh.
well carry on.

[needsnoface]

I planned to, but I'll make certain to place a note that I have your tactic approval for my attempts to re channel the baser instincts of our fellow crew members. It may keep my cold analytical modules warm at night to know you approve.

[kickbancaboose]

[ wow, rude!!! ]

hey look i don't need the sass

besides i did you a favor by getting that question out of the way asap

[needsnoface]

Not everyone is a fan of my humor, completely understandable. You just have to let it grow on you.

[kickbancaboose]

i didn't think ai could have a sense of humor that wasn't based around terrible knock knock jokes.

[ and then a few minutes later: ]

... you don't tell knock knock jokes right?

[needsnoface]

If it would make you feel ever so much better, I'm certain I could even find alien based knock knock jokes for you. Just to spice it up a bit.

[kickbancaboose]

oh god please don't

[needsnoface]

Alas, the age of intergalactic knock knock jokes has once again lost their chance to shine on center stage.

[kickbancaboose]

yeah damn that sucks what a shame
when will someone think of the knock knock jokes
