can someone get Callisto station on the horn to see what's up? I'd do it myself but I've recently gotten into a very immersive VR program and it won't let me save

Capn? We are going there to establish Callisto station.

The head of HR told me they were screening primarily on physical attractiveness and fuckability to 'shoot those uggos off the face of planet'.

In hindsight recruiting from the Sears catalog casting department was a stupid cost saving measure.

"it would save a lot of hassle and money to not do any of this"

Michaels chooses to approach the door like a predator. He keeps low and outside of its sensor package. His upgraded heart filters the adrenaline and begins storing it for emergency secretion should he need it. He remains calm, nerves unshaken, approaching the left side jamb and presses himself silently against the wall

The door tenses, a tingle going up it's reinforced hinges; there is *no* thermal data but it's microphone registered an "above average background noise event" recently. Michaels taps lightly on the bottom of the door, near the kickplate. Tap, tap-tap-tap, tap.

The door immediately raises the lights in the room, and exclaims "Perry! Why didn't you just say it was you? I'm gonna rust myself shut one of these days! By God's gates Perry!

Perry smiles, "You know how long I've been wanting to upgrade your mic insert, how about we have a talk about your data filtering schema after you let me in. I think I have an idea...."

I would like to reassure everyone that the pressures and loneliness of command have not gotten to me at this stage of the journey. Now the logical move at this point is to physically rip out the part of the ship's computer responsible for automatic operation of the ship's systems, so that it can't pull a HAL 9000 on us. Then we'll eject it out the airlock in a kind of ritualized rejection of Earth-bound authority, ok good talk any volunteers?

Ummmmm uhhhhh don't know exactly who to tell but I've put on 60 lbs over the past 4 years and I wasn't exactly a small guy to begin with so well uhhh I can't fit into my pants let alone my EVA suit, so I've been wearing this gold laminated reflective insulation sheet as a toga, but is there maybe a way to make some kind of double space suit? I'm the only other person qualified to repair the long range antenna and I don't know if you want that other guy doing anything more complicated than Chinese checkers, of which we don't even have a set, but that's something I'll bring up at a later date.

Hey are you gonna finish that?

Can anybody hear me in there?! I brought your order from Space Domino's. Someone ordered 30 pepperoni pizzas with special instructions to draw smiley faces inside the box. I've been out here for a couple months now, and to be honest... I ate all the pizza.

I'd still like my tip though. We normally don't deliver outside the asteroid belt, but my boss made an exception because we're trying to expand our business.

HELLO??!
