[ Watches this happen. Isn't it easier without the helmet...? ]

So it's some kind of technology thing?

[dropoffs]

No to the helmet.

[ who knows if it is. they just turn their head a bit. ]

Yes to the time thing.

[perfectdistance]

What?

[What do you mean thoughts are leaking?

He's just putting things away methodically.]

Have you seen the time thing... work before?

[dropoffs]

It's... thoughts are a bit loud today, it seems.

[ turning head more ]

But in any case. I've never seen it work before - I signed on for the Spring tour right after the Winter one, so I didn't need to.

[ Does that mean the company says it works and it doesn't actually work... This sounds like a thing a business would do. ]

Is that what all the Senior crew did, or just you?

[dropoffs]

[ shrugging noises! who knows! they work very hard! ]

The majority did - either retired back to their home worlds, or sought work on other ships. We wanted to stay on, and it suited us that we'd worked together before.

[perfectdistance]

How did the last... [What did they call it?] ...tour go for you guys?

[dropoffs]

It was hard at first, but overall the tour went very well. Many satisfied customers, a lot of positive engagement from the local populace.

I enjoyed it for the most part, though the technology is a lot to get used to.

[perfectdistance]

So this stuff was new to you when you started working too?

[dropoffs]

Yes, it took a while to get used to, but the crew we were with before was very helpful and worked hard to teach us.

[perfectdistance]

Is that part of why you're fine not going home yet?

[dropoffs]

That, and I like my work very much. There is still much that I wish to learn and compile while I am here.

[perfectdistance]

To bring home, or just for you?

[dropoffs]

Ideally... to bring back. Yes.

[perfectdistance]

When do you think you'll want to head home?
