[ 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.

I'll do it myself. [ HANGING UP NOW LIKE A TOTALLY MATURE ADULT TALKING ABOUT MAGNET SHOES FOR DOGS IN SPACE FUCK OFF ]

An hour or so later, when Alex has his comm back, he'll send a text.]
Sorry, Partner, no harm meant.
Pretty sure we can rig somethin' up. Maybe somethin where the magnets only engage if you engage them with your terminal.
Would be pretty hard for him to get around, otherwise.
But honestly, long as you're with him, he'll probably be alright. Just make sure he's gettin' extra exercise like the rest of us.

[ god he really misses having a nerd who will just follow his every whim wtf ]
the gravity doesn't seem to be impacting him too much but he's had a rough life anyway. this is probably an improvement for him.
[ which is why frank isn't as concerned as he might be about a dog showing up here. max is a soldier, like them. ]

Be easier on his bones, for sure. And if he's grown up in full gee he'll have muscle to spare, for a while. But also means that his muscle mass with decrease a lot faster than those of us whose bodies are used to it.

[ this probably applies to him too huh... oh well, dogs are more important. ]
thanks

I'll keep an eye out for anything we can salvage for it.
See you around.
