[yes, you read that right. guess who doesn't give a shit which device he grabbed this morning. it also probably doesn't help that he has almost hit double figures for the number of times he's ended up falling out of the bed during the night. they really need to move to a family suite soon.]

One door open. A couple of hundred more to go. Till the techs manage to get through all the systems we got access to on the command deck, the rest of us are stuck sitting on our hands.

I got my own ways of staying busy. Kind of wondering how long it'll take before one of you decide to do something stupid to keep yourselves occupied too.

[okay, no. this isn't what he wanted to use the network for. he has a question to ask, whether he likes the answer he gets or not.]

While I've got your attention, anyone here got any experience with computers? Ones that aren't necessarily made of metal and plastic.

[no he's not going to explain why. helpful, right?]

[oorah]

did you find something?

[weaponize]

Going to have to be more specific.

[oorah]

you're asking about a computer. you wouldn't unless it was with you. and things have a way of showing up here at random.

[weaponize]

Didn't turn up. I was built with it.

[oorah]

you're a computer but you don't know how it works? [ seems legit bro ]

[weaponize]

I'm not a computer.

[and if it were anybody else, he might just leave it at that. but for some reason, he actually likes frank. at least enough to bother with a continuation.]

Got on in my head. It's not working right here.

[oorah]

[ awww he actually likes u too fam how touchin' ]

i'm gonna skip most of that and jump to
what is it supposed to do that it's not doing?

[ are you ok :c ]

[weaponize]

Fight computer. Meant to process a situation and tell me how to win every time.

[which is...kind of the simplest way to put it. but there's noly so much he's willing to say. even apollo doesn't know everything about it.]

[oorah]

[ fight computer. huh. ]

guess you'll have to take your chances with the rest of us. who are you fighting anyway?

[weaponize]

No one yet. Need to get it back online before it's too late.

[oorah]

if you think it'll help get us out of here then i'm in
but i'm no computer guy

[ he knows YOU'RE SHOCKED buddy ]

how does it work?

[weaponize]

Don't know if it'll help till it's back at full speed. I'm not the only person affected though.

[and fuck this station for screwing with (apollo) all of the non-humans here]

[oorah]

so you need a computer nerd?
it's too bad i didn't bring mine with me.

[weaponize]

Tech and surgeon. Can't do one without the other.

[oorah]

don't think i know anyone like that here
i had it described to me that we're all tanks, seems convenient we're lacking the people who could actually get us home.

[weaponize]

Some are a bit more than that. Could get home easily if this station wasn't fucking with us somehow.

[oorah]

sure but then there's the issue of this not being any of our homeworld and if it were all our friends would be dead anyway.

[weaponize]

In this universe, sure.

The Authority have a way of fixing that. Apollo's not planning on leaving any of you behind.

[meaning he's stuck having to help everyone find a way home too.]

[oorah]

the authority. that's like the superhero group you and apollo are in?

[weaponize]

We're not heroes.

[oorah]

OK i think i called it guys who wear masks and punch dickbags to him if that works better for you

[weaponize]

Closer. Though I'm the only one with a mask.

Also, sometimes we are the dickbags.

[oorah]

if it's only sometimes then you're leaps and bounds ahead of the ones in my city
