Personnel Officer Miles Vorkosigan here. Due to the recent influx of new crewmembers onto the Moira, my job has gotten far busier and more complex by about a factor of ten. Not that I mind putting a few extra hours in, but this is no longer a one-man job, let alone for a man with two jobs. So, with that in mind, there are two new Personnel Officer postings available for any who might be interested in assisting with the workload. If you've got a knack for paperwork and find desk jockeying an appealing career opportunity, I'd be glad to have you on board. At any rate, anyone who's interested in the job should take a look at the posting and get in touch with the captains.

And there's one other matter: it seems that last month I received yet another mystery package from the postal Russian roulette that is the Ingress and, unsurprisingly, it does not belong to me.

[ attached is an image of a crate full of assorted shoes. ]

But I have a sneaking suspicion some of these belong to someone -- many someones -- on the ship. In fact, I'd bet you Betan dollars that more than a few of you will find something that belongs to you in that crate. It's in the cargo bay if you want to have a look. Vorkosigan out.

The crate contains:
Ratchet's gravity boots
A previous 616 Bucky's combat boots
Fennel's boots
Eily's pretty shoes
The 10th Doctor's gym shoes
Elizabeth Dewitt's shoes
Bel Thorne's gray boots
Clare's slip-resistant sensible shoes
Breq's shoes
Steve Rogers' boots ( x2)
The Courier's boots
Lara Croft's boots
Napoleon Solo's shoes
Cyrus' shoes
Medusalith's shoes
Papyrus' sneakers
Dutch Velders' boots
Cordelia's shoes
Crona & Ragnarok's nightengale boots
Trish Walker's shoes
Scott Lang's shoes
Peter Maximoff's sneakers
Beast Boy's shoes
Joseph Joestar's shoes
Leonard Snart's combat boots
Maya's left high heel and right boot
Edward Elric's boots

well, hey, good job. i would defintiely say ive been completely diverted.

i cant think of anything OTHER than your massive, weird collection of shoes.


also my gravity boots are in there, i want those back

I'm a master of misdirection.

So go get 'em yourself, hotshot. Crate's not locked. What kind of gravity boots?

[neveroutwrenched]

mhm. oh, don't worry i'm already on my way there.

they're...what it says on the tin. they're meant for gravity-disruption...so. they have to overcome any existing gravity, so they really only work in zero or very low G

but as we've seen, this place has just enough gravity disruptions that I'd like them on hand.



er, you know what I mean.

Just curious. Most of the grav tech we've got back home goes in the other direction -- float palettes and air cars and the like. Those sound handy on spacewalks and the like. So to speak.

Glad to see your judgment is just as sound sober, Ratchet. I have to admit I'm rather a lot more comfortable with those in your hands.
