I was the one that put together the slideshow for you guys, at orientation. I didn't have very long to do it, and I was scrambling trying to figure out how to... not dumb down, we have some really brilliant people on board, but translate it in a way to understand in a short period.
[ but... they do nod a little, at that. ]
It was just the eight of us for a month, on this big ship. If not for having each other, I feel like we probably would've gone stir crazy.
It wasn't bad. I watched through it a few times to take some notes just in case it disappeared later. I don't know how many other people might've watched it, but it probably helped some.
[ ...the eudora's already kind of a bigger ship than he thought, but for just eight of them and with all of the gates unlocked... ]
Just for the one month? I thought some of you started working for Nut & Bolt about three months ago.
I hope it did help. I feel like we need to get a few more guides out there, for common terminology, things you or I take for granted... and some ship hacks. Like how to get around the five minute showers, the capsule window settings, things like that. I've tried to make sure people know you can use your I.R.I.S. to change settings in the sim and grav rooms since I suffered embarrassment of being stuck floating and not realizing.
[ they don't seem bothered by this, though, like it's a funny memory. ]
All eight of us have been with the Eudora and the company for three months, but we joined a crew of twenty. Over the two months, it went from 28 of us in total down to us eight due to retirements, transfers... leaves. Someone's on parental leave, actually. We just volunteered for the skeleton crew while the Eudora underwent updates.
[ help. he's trying not to grin, but it fails slightly. ]
It's all trial and error, but it's hard when some people don't know where to start. It doesn't hurt to write new guides, or at least a really brief one-sheet. For all we know people will just ignore the signs and do whatever they want anyway.
[ ...huh. ]
...that's a pretty big downgrade, Ganymede. And also weird timing for so many of them. Are they set to come back after this tour? The ones on leave, that is.
Oh, definitely, plenty of people in the universe that pretend they can't read very abruptly even thought they can. Been there, done that. Part of why my profile says I'm proficient in cat herding, I guess.
[ laughing a little, but... it does trail off, as they fall quiet for a much longer moment. a minute, two, something pensive there. afterwards, they reach up, pressing their left hand's fingers into their helmet and using the contact to rub their helmet interior against their forehead. ]
... they are, yeah. Not sure when the returns are scheduled, but their contracts are still active.

he does not think this. but he tilts his head, waiting patiently for the thought to continue. and also watching that hand. ]
Guess that's a good thing if you do decide to come back afterwards, too. A bigger crew to work with. And hopefully less problems.
