Badass Dragon Scavengers of the Void - Round 2 - Swan Song

Damn it. This Lidar interface will not mount to my suit. It has a USB Q plug and this suit has USB O- jack. Hopefully they’ll let me take it back.

And now that I look at it, there are a lot of folks looking to take on those Space eels. While I’ll miss out on the Glory, I guess I’ll see what else works for me…

Let’s see, since this damn Lidar wonk connect the Pop n Lock isn’t for me, but the Booster Pack would help my EVA out enough … I guess I’ll go scavenge the bridge.

Mission Update

As of Friday night,
4 scavengers have a test for eel (Mission 1),
NO scavengers have signed up to check out the airlocks (Mission 2)
5 scavengers will be dodging the defense system on the bridge (Mission 3)
3 scavengers want to play Amateur Scientist (Mission 4)

Tex Ass (@Donald_petersen), Dottie (@old), Coccinea M Ornatus (@othermichael), Ester (@penguin_chris) and Seelo Lionoppolis (@SeaLion) have yet to check in.

Does someone want to check my estimates for mission 2 – did I make a mistake? I would expect the missions to be pretty even – perhaps the item is more likely or more valuable than I realized?

Be Safe Out There!

“Ow! Damn. Well, that oughta do for now, anyway.”

Fzzzt-clik!

“Spaceman Ass (hee hee hee!), do you copy?”

“Ass here. What’s so goddamned funny?”

“Ha ha ha… nothing! Hey, you about done with your sector?”

“Just wrapped it up. Heading in.”

“Swing by HR after you offload. They need to see you.”

“They do?”

“No, actually, you need to see them. Something about your mascot.”


One hour later…

Sssssshhhhh-clink!

“***Jones!!***”

“What?”

“The hell is this?!”

“What? Cats need potassium, too.”

“Jones, that’s my shipmate!”

“Seriously? Smelled too sweet to be a member of this crew.”

"I just got chewed out for either possession of an unregistered pet or harboring a stowaway (scale was hard to determine from the photo), plus abetting the assault of a duly enlisted crewfruit, plus unauthorized fraternization with same… "

“Hey, you can’t deny that banana had… (snerk) appeal! (gigglegigglegiggle)”

“Holy shit, if I still had my helmet on I’d void the airlock and space you right now where you stand!”

“Hypocrite. Like you never had any vegetation in your cloaca…”

“And what in Herpeton’s name is up with the monkey suit?!”

“Huh? Oh. That. Uh… I was cold.”

“You was cold?! You’re covered in fur!! Your species evolved on a planet five AU from its Class 2 primary! You can survive hard vacuum at absolute zero for over an hour!”

“It was drafty in there.”

“Lizardshit. In where?”

“The produce hold.”

“And what were you doing in there?”

“Lickin’ on a nannersicle, looks like.”

“How have you not gotten us both thrown off this ship yet?!”

“I make myself useful. Like the upgrades to our quarters?”

“Sure. A carpeted platform on a scratching post, a porthole bunk with artificial sunlight for basking, and a vermin infestation.”

“Those are snacks, imported at considerable expense for highly valued guests.”

“And useless to me. They crap little pellets into my boots. How do you get all this stuff?”

“Like I said: I make myself useful. Like so: hold still.”

“What are you doing?”

“Duct-taping your new LIDAR units to your suit. You’re scanning the airlocks of the Black Swan. If you hurry up and get out there, you’ll have first crack at 'em, since nobody else has taken the mission yet, last I checked.”

“LIDAR units? Where’d you get those?”

“Ship’s stores. Charged 'em to your account.”

Stop hacking my debit card, you flea-bitten alleycat!!

“Sure, sure. get a move on!”

For me it was the cost/reward ratio. I’d have to spend 20 juice anyway to get to 21 SEN, I might as well go after the guaranteed fifty along the way.

Tex Ass, did Jonesy just eat someone who owed me 2 juice?

How is this not just like Mars again, you sonofabitch? You are the worst crewmate.

The. Worst.

Watch your step around this guy everyone. If he doesn’t leave you someplace for 550 sols he’ll flat out eat you.

That is messed up.

I didn’t see the dragon out there, but BOY WAS THAT FUN! We went around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around. Why would a record go around, anyhow? Is it a special file type? I thought I was going to puke. Hahahahah! I want to eat like 50 hotdogs with spicy mustard on them and then go do it again. I can’t wait to tell Donna about it. She like hotdogs too. But she puts ketchup on them. That’s gross. My Grandma says Donna’s a savage. A savage is somebody who puts ketchup on their hotdogs.

♩ ♫ Donna is a savage. ♪ ♩ Donna is a savage. ♪ ♫

I don’t want to take a nap. I want to go back outside.

I wanna see the eels. Maybe they know the space dragon and can can take me to see him. They probably already know that I’m a princessballerinafirefighterpastrychefdoctor. If the eels have any boo-boos I could fix them all up and make them some chocolate croissants and they could show me where the space dragon is. I like eels. [repeatedly punching the eel pictograph on the mission selection computer] They are soooooo cute. I could make them some dresses and we could all be princesses together, except I get to be the most princessy princess. And I get to have a purple dress. The eels can have pink dresses, but I get a purple one. I used to like blue, but I don’t anymore.

Very nice. While symmetry isn’t always required when optimizing the aesthetics of one’s exosuit, I certainly do believe that the balance achieved with double LIDAR setup is both pleasing to the eye as well as less inhibiting to movement in one’s exosuit. Particularly given the high center of gravity I’ve used in my rack mounting configuration.

They say that in space no one can hear you criticize their fashion - but you know they are thinking it anyways.

My suit keeps telling me I have 8 extra juice boxes and it’s getting really anoooooooying. If anybody needs to borrow some juice, maybe I could lend some to you and then the suit would stop bothering me.

STOP IT SUIT!!! BE QUIET! NANANANANANA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!
