[ grumpy gills ]

Can't complain every single day.

Some people can, which is always a surprise to me. That is effort and energy better spent elsewhere.

[ They really are just a grumpy cat. ]

Such as?

I mean, I agree complaining’s only good for so long. But if people want to complain they’re gonna.

Now that we go to planets, go outside and breathe in fresh air. Admire nature.

[ TOUCH GRASS ]

It's below freezing.

We have supplies where that won't be an issue.

Does that include a portable heater?

It should, but you can buy wares down on the planet. It'll be deducted from your stipend at the end.

[ bleh, capitalism. ]

Maybe. But if this is the only cold planet, it might just be something more to lug around. I’ll just get a thicker coat or something.

The coats here are very efficient in terms of space and purposes. I don't care for possessions, but I did also have to acquire one to go outside.

Mm. I found them pretty good too, especially considering they're free. Better to have one that to freeze.

I've never had to deal with the cold like this. It's an inconvenience.

I’ve dealt with cold before, but— yeah this is something else. You used to temperate or hotter weather?

Desert with binary suns.

…

That sounds hot as hell.

The night is also freezing.

Basically the worst of both worlds then.

Humans there become accustomed to it over time. I adjusted quickly.

[ ah. ]

You didn't live there originally?

No, I didn't. Space travel is familiar to me.

[ me, not tagging them in person: who are you. ]

Travelling through space... I guess it must've been pretty nomadic.

[ help ]

They were just spores looking for a new place to propagate.

That’s one way of putting it. But for someone who’s never even thought about going into space, it’s kinda out there.

It's better to stay on your planet.

Normally, I don't have much say in the matter.
