[TFW you've been out of coffee for too long and your whole body is starting to rebel...]

No one here happens to know where we put the aspirin, do they?

Or any kind of the same thing.

The what now?

[shiro2hero]

... what?

[shiro2hero]

[... Oh.]

I


Did not mean to send you this.

It's a painkiller.

For headaches.

[Text]

[alformthearm]

How bad are these headaches? And how long have you had them?

[Text]

[shiro2hero]

I've had worse.

But... a while? It's hard to measure time up here.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

[ Oh, hey, he's actually heard of this guy. The guy who built the space... lions...

Well, if nothing else, there's creativity there. ]

Greetings, I am Nihlus Kryik, Life Support and Sanitation.

I am presently organizing a group of people to work on converting the medical bay into a proper saferoom and quarantine zone now that the Ingresses have opened. Shiro recommended that I contact you on the matter. Would you be willing to assist with this project?

[alformthearm]

[Space lions are awesome and there is nothing that will convince him otherwise.]

Yes, hello? Well met, Nihlus. I'm assuming you're already aware of who I am given you've spoken to Shiro.

If you think I might be able to help in some way, I would be pleased to assist as I can.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

[ Nihlus has no opinion on lions, cool or otherwise, other than the fact that it's kind of weird that a non-Terran species built them, apparently??? ]

I asked for anyone with experiences around engineering projects and your name was one.

[ As he talks, he brings up another screen on his ACE. ]

Any assistance on the matter is more than welcome. Once the medical bay has been properly converted, we will move onto installing more saferooms around the station in case of future attacks or other emergencies.

There is a more detailed discussion on the topic at hand here:

[ Alfor gets a ping! ]

[alformthearm]

I see.

Well, that does sound like an excellent idea. Given our circumstances we really don't know what we can ever expect.

Thank you, I'll look into it.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Speaking from two year's experience in this universe, it's pretty much been a constant hellride with a moment of brief respite at the beginning of our stay in Savrou. None of the bodies of authority were ever prepared for what the Ingress threw at us.

So this is- our attempt at it. Hopefully.

[ Assuming all the organization pans out anyhow. ]

And thank you, Alfor. Shall I put your name on the list then?

Hey, Your Majesty?

I just heard something interesting planetside. Something about a Trial of Life.

[It begins]

[Voice]

[alformthearm]

-you must be a mind reader. I'd heard something of it as well. It has a certain...appeal over the other two.

Re: [Voice]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Of course it does! Five day survival trial with just whatever we can carry in our two hands?? Puzzles and challenges?! A full on labyrinth? It sounds exactly like what I need to get the blood pumping after a month on that derelict station!

Problem is, if I went alone I'd never catch the end of it. I thought about asking Shiro, but he doesn't seem to think the terms "dangerous" and "fun" overlap with one another.

When they obviously do. Besides, it's not like we can't leave before we clear it...

...Not that we wouldn't clear it. In fact, I have every intention of clearing it but--wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I was wondering if you'd like to get planetside...maybe stretch your legs with a bit of a five day trial slash adventure?

[Voice]

[alformthearm]

It feels like it's been a while since I've done any sort of survival-related activity of that sort. [Oh, you can hear the grin in his tone.] Sounds like it could be interesting. And a change of scenery definitely wouldn't hurt.

I'd been thinking of visiting this place in general, but if there's no one else to accompany you, then I think I'd be up for undertaking a bit of an...excuse to stretch my legs.

Re: [Voice]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yes! Great! Perfect!

Now...we just need to let Shiro and the rest know where we'll be and, more importantly, to not worry them.

...A note should be fine, right?

text; WAY BACKDATED to like almost right after his update coma

[shiro2hero]

Hey, head's up.

Lavellan may drop by the Suites. If I'm not there, let me know he's there?

[Text]

[alformthearm]

Oh? Very well.

[Text]

[shiro2hero]

Thanks.

... I probably should have asked him when he'd do it, but. Head's up?

[Text]

[alformthearm]

It's fine. And better than none, I suppose, although I'm certain it wouldn't have been too much of a hassle to clear things up.

[Text]

[shiro2hero]

Have you ever met him?

He's been here almost as long as Pidge, Allura and I.

[VOICE]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[As this is just winding down.]

Yeah, hi, Your Majesty?

Listen, normally I wouldn't call you over something so blindingly stupid but it seems your daughter found...I don't know. Toys? Except they're not toys, they're bombs shaped like mice and now she wants to keep them? I don't know if this is like a practical lesson or something on Altea. Do people usually keep bombs as pets? Because that sounds crazy and I think maybe you should try and tell her not to keep them because I'm going to assume they're not house broken but are still primed and ready to do exactly that.

[VOICE]

[alformthearm]

Yes? Oh, hello Darin.

-toys? ...toy bombs? Wait, I... So they're not toys, and yet they're shaped unusually that one might think they're toys? Or are these just some odd versions of toys as the people of this world seem to have different customs..?

But no, we don't...keep bombs as pets because they aren't alive, for one thing, and rather dangerous- are these mice-bombs alive?

Re: [VOICE]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

No, no they're just run-of-the-mill wind up bombs. They look like toy mice and Allura seems pretty enamored with them and she's kind of clutching them protectively right now as if I'm going to try and wrestle them away. Which, I want to remind everyone within earshot is a phenomenally stupid idea because they are bombs.

Also, I'd like to go on record that I never once tried to bring home a bomb as a pet? But I did explode the washing machine once and I caught royal hell. I feel like this kinda overshadows that because actual bombs.

Oh crap, I think she's mad at me I don't have a contingency plan for her being mad and also carrying four live bombs.

[IN THE BACKGROUND]

[patchricide]

Da~rin~! Are you coming?

["I think she's mad at me", huh.]
