hey, did that pet directory ever get made? there are at least four hamsters running around the observation deck. so far they're staying kind of close to me, but if they're yours, please come get them.

[Briefly, a video feed turns on. There sure are three hamsters sitting in front of Hajime, almost posing for the camera. The camera pans to show Hajime's incredulous, perpetually tired face, showing one hamster asleep on his shoulder.]

Whoa-! Wait, wait!!

[The camera pans back quickly to the three hamsters, except now they're all running for him. He lets out a yelp and the video feed turns off.]

Yeah, maybe some people would get sucked out immediately. And hopefully we'd also be able to shut some of the doors to keep it contained. But it's the kind of thing that you don't want to leave up to 'hopefully' and 'maybe' I guess. It would be good to know that at least everyone has one suit each...

I don't know. I'm not really an expert. It's just something that's been hanging around in the back of my mind... do you know what I mean?

yeah, i've been thinking about it, too. mostly i'm just thinking... even if we can't figure out how to vacuum seal stuff, maybe there's a way we can put together something with an oxygen mask and portable heater. until we can figure out how to make real spacesuits.

doing something has got to be better than doing nothing, right? that's how we turn "hopefully" into "probably."

i think.

[solarcharged]

Probably. Maybe.

Do you know anyone who might be able to make something like that? I guess the space gang (you know who I mean? Alex, Amos, etc) might know a thing or two about it...

[hopefragment]

idk i haven't really talked to them yet, but i can try reaching out next time i see them

amos is the guy who showed up with a shotgun at the town meeting though, right?

[Hm don't like that!! Don't like that one bit!!]

[solarcharged]

[ oh jesus, apollo forgot about that ]

Yeah...In his defense, that was a pretty tense meeting.

[hopefragment]

[Yeah, make a tense meeting LESS tense by bringing a shotgun... that sounds right.]

right

anyway, i'll see if there's anything we can do for spacesuits. brainstorming like this together is better than us each trying to go at it alone

[solarcharged]

Okay. Let me know what you find? I'll do the same.
