Go to college, they said, become a scholar… why do I still feel so unfulfilled? Is it because this capitalist society suddenly decided not to value the work of scholars? This is eel crap… why contribute to society at all? I’m stuck in the treadmill now. Oh, what a mess I’ve made of my life.
I borrowed a mass spectrometer. I thought it would bring me joy, instead it made me BLUE. I also borrowed the money to buy my own mass spec, but forgot to actually do it. Typical. Why am I so pathetic? Not that I would have been able to repay the loan anyway.
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job… and heaven knows I’m miserable now.
I’m just going to sit by myself with this walkman I found under the floorboards.
In a spaceport town that they forgot to close down come armageddon, come armageddon , come…
Panic in the bay of medicine, Panic in the halls of engineers, Hang the pilot, hang the pilot, hang the pilot,
Warden in a coma I know, I know it’s serious,
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking, when I said
I’d like to smash every tooth in your head
Oh… sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed
Totally nothing a murderbot would sing…Can I buy you a drink before the next sortie?
“Damn straight I am, Kass, you artifice standing in for intelligence. Fortune and Glory is the Space Lizard way. I may never make it back to Herpeton VI, but I’m gonna make a hell of an impact one way or another.”

Let me see… For donating my RED to the Coleridge I believe I am due 200Ʉ and a couple dollops of fresh-squeezed GLO. Add that and the 11Ʉ that @newliminted Mini-Digits is giving me for some reason to my existing 116Ʉ and I have 327Ʉ to spend. Four repair kits at 60Ʉ apiece and three swings at Mission 3 use up 270Ʉ, and a Swan Wing brings it up to 315Ʉ, leaving me with 12Ʉ left over, and a reasonably healthy 90HP. Are my calculations sound?
I’m gonna give this critter eyepatches to match my own.

“Glory be and the saints be praised. We’ve got a live one! Tex, you can raise the stakes and confound my expectations whenever you please. At this rate, we just might make it out of here.”
[Kassandra beckons a few unsettled scutters who take reluctant custody of the RED. As you watch, the glob is ferried directly to the Repair Bay and applied to the core processors. Everything glows an unholy shade for a brief moment before things return to normal. The actuators pulse in an unsettling manner. (+200Ʉ, GLO+2)]
