[rey had never received a package before. suspicion had been her first response when she'd gotten the message on her MID. it had to have been some kind of trick. she's prepared for the absolute worst when she picks up the box, holding it as if it might detonate at any second.

inside was dosmit ræh's helmet.

her heart had constricted. ræh had been her imaginary friend as a child, and was still someone rey looked up to even though they'd never met. and since her helmet had been inside a wrecked ship, they probably never would. so having the helmet back was a gift she'd never dreamed of. but it also meant that someone had been in her home, in her private space. and that makes her furious.]

how do these packages get here? who retrieves them? i need to know

[god she's tried to ignore this, but]

are you done??

[skelepun]

almost never, but i'm on a union sanctioned break for the time being.

you ever get a straight answer to your question, bee-tee-dubs?

[ventifact]

no
thanks for asking

[skelepun]

[Well, she's been patient enough.]

for the record, that's because no one knows. They come through the Ingress, just like we did. how they're addressed, you'll have to ask the captains because no one aboard is going to be able to give you a straight answer.

not that the captains will, either, but it's worth a shot.

maybe
or i'll just be spoonfed lies
it's a 50/50

[skelepun]

oh, i'd say the odds of that are a steady 100%.

but if you're smart and keep your ear to the ground, you'll learn to speak bullshitese soon enough. i teach an accelerated course for 500G if you're interested.

[skelepun]
