I found exactly such a curious thing in our aft stellar intake a week ago. It was nearly intact and had a silver blue glow from the moon dust also trapped in the intake collection bags. I picked it up and kept it with me. Subconsciously, did I covet it? I thought about it endlessly as I went about my tasks on my ship.

I examined it closely while we were harvesting Arkonor (I have a habit of sitting in the maintenance bay of the firing chamber as the fumes from excavated Ark fill the room). And without another thought I crushed it into the smallest particles, stamping them until they were just as dust and glitter. I separated the mounds of glittering powder into evenly spaced rows, put my nose to one and inhaled it.. sending it brainward.

CubeSat.. ah yes.

Damaged goods? Damaged goods.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

You seem to have some unhealthy habits. You should see a doctor.... Or two.

My last physician.. she was a kind and knowledgeable Intaki, though only a general practitioner. Garoun's medical coverage uses crowded facilities and specialists can be rare. The medical plans are nothing like the kind they have out in null.

A long time ago she'd survived a meltdown of an Isogen refinery on the moon where she was from and the exposure had caused some growths in her occipital lobe and it is likely (I am guessing from her apparel) that she had grown a third breast from the incident.

She was treating me for my Ark-Bis inhalant addictions, and I was making decent progress until she developed some physical complications of her own.. or possibly she had grown tired of my stories of calibrating crystals for optimal coherence for mineral penetration, and she'd skipped town with a Sebiestor lover. I can't be certain. It is possible that I k

In any case, you are quite correct.. where was I? Oh yes. Another doctor.

Once I had to endure a nearly two-hour flight from Hek to Ammold in a baseliner passenger shuttle, economy class. Minmatar economy class (most of that time was spent aligning and waiting for the gate clearance). The guy I was sitting next to, a rather unwashed and bearded Sebbie, was listening to death rustcore at maximum volume, all the way until the shuttle docked.

Uh... What I was about? Ah. Heavy metal poisoning. It is bad for your health.

I remember I was once test piloting an Exhumer in Rahadalon. The body was unfinished, so the ship was mostly an endoskeleton with two engineering decks. One of my test crew was this Sebiestor male, a tall lanky thing with a narrow spade of a nose and a heart shaped jawline. His skin was just shy of olive and his eyes were as blue as mine.

Between calibration exercises I'd find my eyes wandering over to him. Of course, I'd seen Sebiestors but not another like him. He nearly always kept his eyes focused on the floor, as he was trained. As if in a dream, we locked eyes but not until we were staring at each other from opposite sides of the airlock. I can't remember now why I pushed him out of it.. it all happened so quickly.

He had a perfect opportunity to kill an apparently Demented egger and missed it. Weakling.

I remember I once undocked and flew my ship around a bit, making ISK. Then I docked again and left the pod.

True story and clearly very rare, if one is to believe the IGS.

Most ISK-making activities are quite boring - like almost every job in the universe. Especially so if it was mining. Sniffing Arkonor and throwing random crew members out of the airlock while listening to rustcore beats mining everyday.

Jinari, if you are not taller than 135 cm in height, I can offer you the exciting opportunity of cleaning and replacing frequency crystals on the lower deck of my ship. The crystals do tend to fuse to the contact leads because of high temperatures sometimes, and there was one incident of a technician requiring surgery after a crystal burst while she was dislodging it.. it might have been that she was feeling dizzy from the uncleaned exhausts right above her and I may have discharged a welding laser in her general direction because I was irritated and she was babbling incoherently, not having brought along her personal vocal translator of course.

Ah, well you may certainly find more enjoyment in it than undocking and docking. If you plan to give an interview, do bring your Curriculum Vitae and some leather straps and maybe twenty five feet of rope.

Seriously, Sibbyl, your ship sounds like a turn-of-last-century death trap. Also, is ANYONE less than 135cm tall?

As a member of the race with the supposedly lowest average height, I can assure you that none of our 'normal' adults are less than 135cm tall. 145cm plus is in the leftmost outlier in our bell curve. Anyone shorter than that is at an adult age is either lying about the age or is a pygmy.

Race with the lowest average height? Huh, really?

I met a Matari gentleman a while ago, Sebiestor I think, who was around 215cm in height or about 7 feet I believe? Rather intimidating, especially when you consider I'm barely 150cm myself. I'd not have guessed that about your race sir. I take it the person I met must have been somewhat of an oddity, ah? No offence to him intended.
