Aaand a good mornin' ta everyone! Good job for all ya new faces. Sounds like there were a few mistakes here and there, a little bit of trouble, but it looks all cleared up ta me! Like I said- good job. Knew ya could do it. That wasn't so bad, was it?

Now, there is some bad news, and it's that Zaka got egg all over the place for a while there. The good news! Zaka's back! And Gil has buggered off ta who knows where, so no worries about R-rated things comin' over the radio for a while yet!

I'd say all that deserves a celebration, don't ya agree?

Koel willin', I'm thinkin' of whippin' up a little celebration dinner for everyone in the cookhouse. Nothin' grand, but what do ya think?

Well. I was working on building something with them with a few of the engineers, but well, guess I just haven't had time for it.

[pipers_son]

Ha, all the new folks ta train has definitely cut back on our spare time, huh?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, and there aren't as many people who are knowledgeable on the subject as there used to be.

[pipers_son]

Wish I could help ya with that, but that sorta thing is too advanced for where I’m from, and I ain’t got the education ta even make a guess. Peridot busy much these days?

[dorkypantsuit]

I want to collaborate on it, not have someone come in and take over while ignoring my input.

[Which is surely what would happen if Peridot got involved.]

[Joker tries to smother his laugh, which would be easier if he wasn’t using his one hand to hold the radio.]

Good point. Well, if I chat with anyone and they know somethin’ about that kinda thing, I’ll let you know.

[dorkypantsuit]

[The Psionic smirks, glad he at least got a laugh out of his comment. If Peridot heard that he'd probably be getting an earful right now.]

That'd be nice, but I don't expect we'll find anyone like that soon. We just recruited a bunch of people and already they're dropping like flies.

[If any of you newbies are listening right now do NOT drop like a fly.]

[pipers_son]

Ah well…. That always happens with big batches like this, yeah?

[It’s almost possible to hear his shrug.]

I’m sure we’ll pick up a few more folks throughout the season. Always someone with every stop, right?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah. I know.

[He sounds strangely subdued when he responds.]

I guess. I just worry.

[pipers_son]

Sounds like I definitely outta make somethin’ for ya tonight too. Pity I told Silver I wouldn’t be servin’ alcohol this time around.

[dorkypantsuit]

Pity because that was a dirty rotten lie? Or pity because I won't get anything to drink?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, really rude of you to lie to Silver like that.

[pipers_son]

[A bit back snort.]

Sir! Are ya forcin’ me ta serve alcohol, then?

[dorkypantsuit]

You're the one who wants to make me something, it's up to you to think of alternatives if Plan A doesn't work.

[pipers_son]

Despicable. Truly despicable. Oh well, I’m sure I can figure out somethin’ ta get ya hammered that ain’t outright booze…
