Oh geez, if it's a roommate, then that's gotta be an extra pain in the ass. At least the worst I have to deal with is a hippie that weighs probably as much as an elephant.

But I guess as long as you reported it to someone, then it should be okay.
late DAY 122
this whole ship is like a damn ghost town
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
you settled in?
[ There's no point in asking the obvious question of if she made it aboard. Fetch already knows the answer to that. ]
no subject
The mood is pretty damned somber all around too.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I don't know if settled is the right word, but I'm here. That's what matters, right?
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
You?
no subject
the mood is pretty god damn annoying
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
it's a good start, that's for damn sure and it helps that the drinks are free
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
i was doing okay but i can't catch a damn break with folks running at the mouth
no subject
I guess since the training rooms aren't open, that's the next best thing for now. But I'd much rather be punching something.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Who's running at the mouth? That sounds like work for us.
no subject
tell me about it, i could deal with something that isn't looking at a bunch of miserable folks
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
ratchet, a green and my roomie
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
already reported it to armada since dagger is still mia

I hope he comes back soon.
no subject
and here i had been pretty goddamn lucky with roomies so far
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
but he said thanks, so
[ And then a pause on her end before another message comes. ]
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
and yeah, me too
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
he ever vanish like this before?
no subject
You did good. The officers should know of potential threats like that before it's too late.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
He's vanished a couple of times, but always came back somehow.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
He tells me not to die, but sometimes I feel like he's the one more in danger of it.
no subject
last time i really spoke to him was when he announced us all as leads
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
he said he was sick but i didn't expect him to be down for long over it
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
yeah, i'm getting that feeling myself
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
you know when i was first put on kalis temporary he told me you were one of his favorite and if i messed anything up for you, he was throwing me out
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
i assume out of an air lock but i got a laugh out of it
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
his stupid nerd self needs to hurry on back before we REALLY all give him a piece of our minds
no subject
The wet environment of Macha really wasn't good for him. But, I think he had recovered a little from that point, if it makes you feel any better.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
He seemed okay the last I spoke with him, but that wasn't as recent as I would've liked.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I tried to check up on him, early on day 120, but I got that same damned auto-responder. I thought he was just trying to be left alone at that point.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Because a lot of people take stuff out on him, when it's not necessary. Especially after the kind of message he left on the network last.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I'm glad he put you on my team, though. Compared to all the trouble I've had with the Things, I'm glad someone seems to know what they're doing.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
And I wouldn't doubt for a second he'd throw someone out of an airlock, if he really wanted to.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
He really is a nerd, sometimes. But yeah. This time I won't even mind if everyone yells at him.
no subject
yeah, i knew he wasn't good with water but i didn't think like humidity was gonna kick his immune system's ass or whatever
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
as i've been hearing since we got a lot of pissed off people still enjoying yelling out their grievances
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
i like being on this team though and hell, i like being a lead too
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
i'm glad we have your approve for yelling because the last thing i'm sure any of us need is you coming at us with your katana
FROM: walker.abigail@cdc.org
at least i can run fast cause i can't say the same for the others
no subject
I don't know if that's the case for sure, so don't quote me on that, but it's my theory.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Most of the team is pretty good, so I shouldn't have to. Still on the fence with two certain members, though.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
But if that time should ever come, at least you'll have a fighting chance of surviving.
