Whatcha got there, kid? The beginning of an app, huh? That's cute.

You know what I think? I think you should delete that entry, go back to rewatching Wormhole X-Treme (wait, what's it really called?) without thinking about your little games, and let me fish in peace.

You owe it to me after that debacle years ago, okay? Okay.

...

Why do I feel like you're ignoring me? Kids these days...

=D A Jack!

[drspacemonkey]

Jack... Jack, I don't think you understand! Do you know what you've gained access to?! There are infinite, literally infinite, numbers of worlds out here, all connected through this nexus!

[timeforplanb]

Infinite?

[ he's already pressing a hand against his forehead ]

Oh, for cryin' out loud -- and who's gotta write reports about them all?

[drspacemonkey]

Repor-- Nevermind that, don't you see the possibilities? Cultural and otherwise? Civilizations that we'd never get a chance to study are right here.

[timeforplanb]

Yeah. Yeah, I see it. So can I sign off on this one?

[drspacemonkey]

I-- don't think you really have much of a choice... We're kind of stuck here.

[most_qualified]

When they start ignoring you, that is never a good sign, General.

[timeforplanb]

[wry:] I noticed. At least this one's a better procrastinator than I am.

You know, I don't think we've been introduced.

[most_qualified]

There's always one worse than the other or so I am told.

I apologize. I am Dr. Amanda Perry.

[timeforplanb]

Nice to meet you, Doctor Perry. You must be from my future-- or one of them, anyway, I'm not even going to pretend I know how that works. Especially since my mun keeps thinking of me as "Colonel" cause she's early in her rewatch. (It never even says it on my uniform...)

[hi_there_aliens]

That's what you'd prefer to do instead of exploring a new place?Wormhole X-treme or fishing? Wow, Jack

There's no accounting for taste in some people.

[timeforplanb]

Hey -- I never said I wanted to watch Wormhole X-Treme. It might rank a little above getting tortured to death, but not much.

Fishing, though. Ah, fishing. A rod, a few cold ones... Yeah, I could go for that. Who wouldn't?

[hi_there_aliens]

I don't know, Jack, I've died a few times and I think I can say that death ranks higher than Worm-hole X-treme for me.

[he's lifted two fingers in the air]

Me, for one. It's boring! I could do actual archaeology instead - with students and my peers at a nice site for hours, and at least it'd be worth the sun burn.

[timeforplanb]

[ shakes his head ] Doing what, digging in sand? I could take Cassie on a beach trip if I wanted that!

[hi_there_aliens]

[and that's a dirty look right there. It's not a simple beach trip. And yet, he keeps falling for this, Jack just knows what buttons to push]

...Archaeology, Colonel. You know, the thing my career's based on?

[alchemic_waves]

[ Snickers ] Yeah, once a mun has a plan for you in mind you're kind of stuck with it.

Though fishing would be more fun. I miss my boat, nice little skimmer, and get the wind just right, you can just sail around for days without running into anyone else. [ Huh Constance... he doesn't mean fishing for airships to target... I think he means really fishing. ]

[timeforplanb]

Seems so.

Your own boat, huh? Yeah, that sounds like exactly what I was looking forward to with retirement...

[alchemic_waves]

It's an awesome ship, can cruise at 45k feet for weeks without having to dry dock. which is probably good, because where I'm from it's mostly dangerous waters. Stingrays alone can get to several hundred miles across.
