[ well. owner is going to walk over to her once he spots her. ]

Have you felt odd today?

[bossbabygirl]

Odd? How do you mean?

[he can actually hear in her heard the email she's drafting to Nut & Bolt HR. the kind of email you write in your head and never send, all very never in all my years have I encountered there level of unprofessionalism]

[discomfort]

[ fucking help

he stays quiet for a moment because he is listening to this. ]

Oh... I might just be imagining it, if you haven't noticed anything.

[bossbabygirl]

[It's not just the mix-up, but it's the utter inability of anyone on this crew or in this corporation to take responsibility and acknowledge their mistakes that truly disappoints me. I expected better of Nut & Bolt and I will be advising all of my contacts not to do business with you in the future.]

You mean the psychic leaks? That's fine. So many of you are injured.

[discomfort]

[ he waits to listen to this. maybe he should recruit margaret for delivering bad news to people. ]

Are they? What are they getting themselves into...

[bossbabygirl]

I think maybe they came here with it...? Though really, I fell ten meters, was shot with a gun, and had my mind psychically rended by Plinth a few days ago and I'm fine now.

[discomfort]

Whoa! You are quite sturdy.

... I was not injured.

[bossbabygirl]

Well, medpacks will get you a long way. And I'm glad to hear it. It's rough out there, you know?

[discomfort]

Definitely. I see people are partaking in property damage and attacking our seniors, and we haven't even gone to our first planet yet!

[bossbabygirl]

At least wait until you've seen one planet before you fight our supervisors.

[discomfort]

Especially since I would assume they have access to more things than we do, based on the difference in our positions. They might have certain technology that they're hiding from us at the moment.

[bossbabygirl]

They do. There's a chief intelligence officer on board, and internal defensive systems - they're monitoring us and are prepared for some sort of uprising.

[discomfort]

It would be a shock if they weren't, considering they were already attacked! And a lot of people here have tempers.

[ or are just antisocial and rude. ]

week 1, monday

[discomfort]

[ they can be at... omegamart. sure.

owner is going through the aisle, wearing this. he picks up a packet of instant ramen. stares at it. puts it back.

hm... ]

[bossbabygirl]

[oh cute. she's wearing this but she looks a bit envious.]

I love your hat. Not in the mood for ramen?

[discomfort]

Thank you!

I am unsure of the flavor... it says it is ultra deluxe super spicy. Do you think that is too spicy?

[bossbabygirl]

It's probably fine. You should try it. These things always try to advertise themselves as spicier than they are.

[discomfort]

[ hmmm. ]

You may be right. I shouldn't let advertisement scare me away.

[ he tucks it into his basket. ]

[bossbabygirl]

[damn, she wanted to see him eat it.]

With the new food court, I can't imagine cooking for myself - so busy. Are you fond of cooking?

[it's just ramen.]

[discomfort]

[ it's really just ramen. ]

One of my workers back home is, and he's rather passionate about it. So I'm a little curious.

[ to put hot water into this ramen. ]

[bossbabygirl]

[a culinary adventure.]

I really never have time to cook for myself - I admire you giving it a shot.

[discomfort]

I assume too busy with your job?

[ w... whatever it is that she does. he just knows she gets a lot of emails and that weird thing about her coworker she posted. ]

[bossbabygirl]

Oh, yes. It's been a madhouse lately.

[he does not need to know more than that, probably.]

[discomfort]

[ probably. ]

You seem like the kind of person who is used to keeping busy...

[bossbabygirl]

All this downtime on the ship is starting to make me consider picking up a new hobby. But the hobby I've landed on is figuring out how to run this company better.
