Eddie, how do you like your steak? And no, I won't be making it for you. What I mean is...how do you want to do this? Yeah, you do get a steak out of this.  How about I just give you the right amount and you can go where you want, when you want? That'd be easiest on me. I want to get it out of the way as soon as possible.

I want to help investigate

You're generous.

[2ndnightshift]

I said that I owe him.

Do you want a salad? Waldorf? Caesar?

[caughtthebullet]

I don't think it would be wise for us to share a meal. Him and I, not you and me, Dan.

[lastpunchline]

Just go to the store and pick one up.

[2ndnightshift]

So you have no preference?

[lastpunchline]

Fillet Mignon. What did you expect?

[2ndnightshift]

I don't know. Fillet Mignon it is.

[misterblackbird]

You can't possibly be serious about investigating that--'craft' is the best word for it, I suppose.

[2ndnightshift]

I am. I don't doubt in the slightest that there will be crazy things happening, but we've got to try something.

[misterblackbird]

I get the feeling you mean to to try and fly it out of here.

[2ndnightshift]

Crazy, I know it is, but that's all that this place is.

[2ndnightshift]

You mean Eddie?

Is it? How will we know for certain?

[2ndnightshift]

So you're saying that it's best to be subjected to what ever else is out there while trying to get by?

[citadelspirit]

Another intrigued mind, I see. There is a possibility I could repair it, if it is still there -- but I find it doubtful that we could pierce the barrier with it.

[2ndnightshift]

You alone? Wow.

[citadelspirit]

Me and a large number of machines, but yes, possibly. I was once a space station's artificial intelligence. I understand "futuristic" technology.
