Haven't been here all that long, I guess, not like some people. But some of you guys have been here a long time, right?

Has this ship been taken over before... you know? Or taken apart? It doesn't sound like it, but... it's not something you might want to talk about.

......... right. I thought maybe...

Remember much?

Those who toy with emotions or wish power only for themselves... Sometimes, it was fun. Mostly, it was not.

There once was a time I considered taking it for myself, back when I felt imprisoned, not guided. Now I have grown to think the place has caused insanity in the Admiral and is a cursed chalice.

[ not helpful, but... ]

...then is it still worth being here?

[Arkady comes to the door looking chipper. There is a large red hen in what appears to be a bright blue cloth diaper nestled in her arms.]

O hai! [She tilts her head] Something the matter, luv?

[dovehearted]

[ You never know what to expect next, with her. ] ...that to catch the eggs?

[can_has_vodka]

The poops! She has a nesting box she sleeps on and I gather eggs in the morning.

Come in, come in. She doesn't peck!

[dovehearted]

[ As soon as she's inside she reaches up to touch Arkady's shoulder and gives her something like a genuine smile. ] Congratulations.

I've been here for a year and a half. That's a very long time to be in an environment this unstable.

[dovehearted]

[ She's trying to sound open to what he has to say, but with Crane you have to be a little cagey. ] Yeah? It just been bad lately, or...?

[doctor_j_crane]

It certainly hasn't been its normal mix of events.

[dovehearted]

No?

[dovehearted]

How long you been around?

[dovehearted]

Making sure it's not just something you haven't seen.

Since I don't know how long I'll be here.

[tadwizard]

Yeah, it has.

[dovehearted]

[ Perfect. She knows who you are, and you are easy to get talking, Tony. ] Like how? You've been here a long time, right?

[tadwizard]

Different ways. The same way never works twice, though so that's something. I've heard the Admiral fixes whatever gets used to do things in the first place.

[dovehearted]

... oh...

So it's the kind of people who just try to take the ship, right? Don't try to get past you guys?
