[ The video opens to Amos munching on what looks like one of the protein bars the fabricator seem to produce by the dozen. He's looking straight at the camera - this is no mistake broadcast, he learned from the best how to do this - and half of him is in the frame. ]
People keep on asking me about this stuff once they realize I've lived in space a while, so I'm just going to share my wisdom with you all so I don't have to say it a million times again.
[ He stands, the angle of the video changing as he grabs the communicator he borrowed from Alex to broadcast this. As it moves, it pans over what looks like a very large shortgun type of weapon. It ends up points towards Amos's lower body, more specifically, his boots. ]
Okay, first off, keep your mag boots on. Sleep with them if you can. To engage them, lean back on your heels, and walk like you're wearing pumps. Heel first, then toe.
[ He demonstrates on camera. How does he know how to walk in pumps? Who knows?
He turns the communicator back up towards his face, after a few steps. ]
Second, if you feel nauseous when you're walking around the station, try to see if you're walking spinward or counter-spinward. As in, if you walking with the spin of the gravitation rings or not. Walking against it is going to make you feel worse.
Third, don't eat too much, but don't forget to eat, either. Sounds basic, but you'd be surprised.
[ He almost adds that coffee is not a form of food. ]
Fourth, make use of the fitness area on deck 4. We're not at full gravity here, and in space, you lose muscle mass very fast. If you don't want to turn into a noodle, weightlifting and cardio.
Fifth, stow your gear. There are all of these compartments in the crew quarters, don't leave shit hanging around. Anything can turn into a weapon if we suddenly lose gravity, or if it turns out that this barge can do maneuvers. You don't want a mug coming at your face at 4-g.
[ Seriously, stow your gear, people. It's not that hard. ]
Sixth, don't use the sealant guns without gloves. This shit will glue your hands together. Be smarter than that.
[ He resumes eating his protein bar. ]
That's the most important points I wanted to make. Now, if you've got specific questions, shoot.

[It only occurs to wonder when Amos offers this advice.]
Any sign of any faiths whatsoever?

[ Amos has to shrug, holding a hand up. This is gonna get weird. ]
I met this girl after I woke up - Venus, her name is. She claims she's the devil.

[He says, more than a little aggrieved.]
I'll see what I can find for a chapel. If these people have a faith, it may be telling.
no subject
[ Maybe a lunatic, but definitely not one without some kind of ground to base her words on. ]
Might not tell us much we don't already know. This place, pretty sure it was built in the solar system, and even in my time, religion's the same shit.

Don't suppose you have any cigarettes?
[If so this is going to be a straight up old fashioned mugging.]

Smoking'll kill ya, you know.

[He says, mournfully, and then hangs up with a laugh. He's heading for the gym.]
/scene?
He'll go down for a quick drink, and then head to the gym, too. He could do with a bit of a spar. ]
