[So Trip has been kind of laying low to work off the after effects of trying to attack Kay while under the influence of Pandora, but is officially back to normal now, and is going to try throwing himself back into work because that is how he rolls.]

I just want to apologize to anyone I might have annoyed over the last couple days. Or weeks, I guess. I'm still really not sure on some of the details, but I guess Pandora nabbed me, too.

Anyway. Since Tosh left and Shego and O'Brien graduated, we're understaffed in the engine room if there're any inmates who want something to do with themselves, with their warden's approval, of course. And it's just Rush and me over with Maintenance and Repair if any inmates are more interested in doing that.

You don't need to have skill in either of 'em to work, just let me know what you can do and I can walk you through the rest.

And Shego, if you're ever in the mood to come back and help out, you're welcome to.

[Private to Sheo]

I'm real sorry we had to start off while I wasn't really myself. I'm thinkin' we should maybe sit down and talk now that things are actually... back to normal.

[And as an afterthought:] I can bring some food, if you wanna meet in person?

[And added a little while later:]

Has anyone seen Capa around?

Comments

[itstopped]

I spoke to Capa... [Oh, wait, that was a while ago. He's been in a haze of science, going over Capa's notes on the Barge.] ...No, not in the last few days.

Out of curiosity, what sort of work is it you need done?

[inhistorybooks]

Me either. [Which means he's hiding or in a coma. Both are possible. Must investigate further. :|a]

For which department?

[itstopped]

Either. Anything. I don't know much about this ship, yet, but I crewed a Battlestar for seven years. I can probably help somewhere.

...On a volunteer basis, you understand. I don't have a warden asking me to do this.

[inhistorybooks]

That's alright, most everyone's got jobs based on volunteering for 'em. What's a Battlestar?

[itstopped]

Another kind of ship. Smaller than this one, and generally answers to the laws of basic physics, but I'm trying to adapt.

I worked in communications, and I... [He hesitates for half a second, looking like he's weighing some decision, before reluctantly continuing with:] ...I probably can't do much heavy lifting. But there's a lot I can do.

[He resists the time-old urge to add: "sir."]

[inhistorybooks]

[Trip is just diving right in without seeming to mind the pause.]

Don't worry about it, there's plenty of stuff that can keep you occupied. Kinda sounds like you'd be better off in engineering. I'd love to hear more about the ship you were on before you got here.

[itstopped]

...Sure. All right. What do you want to know?

[inhistorybooks]

Everything. I love hearin' about other people's designs.
