      Space rocks are the real danger. They pop into existence and really shake things up.

                Nah, they use plain normal gasoline. They just need to stop making their cars out of metallic sodium.

        I’m sure if Null were awake they’d have scrounged it up as well. All that tells me is that we’re operating on the same subspace wavelength.

            Somewhere early on I’d made a rusty Trek edit of the handshake meme still. Really gotta organize my shit.

    They were warned about keeping those spa style lava rocks on the bridge.

    They get wet and can explode after that. Not a good thing to keep near the EPS conduits, even if the security officer likes the exfoliating effects on his bare feet while working.
