[ Where are they, Shu. In any case, Metis is here, but seems quite busy indicated by the data pad held under one arm and their other hand swiping along the glow of their I.R.I.S. ]
I do apologize for working as we meet, but what can I assist you with, Mr. O'keefe?

[ yeah no arch, we oopsied. but adrastea is seated at the bar, an empty glass with a straw in it next to their elbow as they sit with their I.R.I.S. up and a datapad that they're swiping through on the bartop.
they don't look up from what they're doing, but seem to be aware that he's there. ]
How're you fairing, O'Keefe?

[ our bad. anyways thebe is vibing in the observation lounge, spread out on a couch, draped in their magenta jacket. they're taking a moment to themselves to play clan gen on their i.r.i.s. when shu meets them. ]
Oh, hey Shu. What's up?

[ throws dart. mess hall? ]
I'm going to have to start wearing a badge that says "drop the Mister" at this rate.

[ in the endless vaccuum of space, sans spaceship protection-- no. Lounge area, I guess? ]
... You can drop the Mr, for one.
[ AAAAA. ] What are you doing?

[ AAAAA. ] What are you doing?
[ sweet. bar. shu's just gonna lean over the bar to grab something. ]
I've not climbed the wall or staged an attempted breakdown, so good, I guess.
[ that's kind of a lie actually, he's absolutely used the zero grav room. ]

[ i'm genuinely so mad you guys introduced me to that clangen game I HAVE TO RAISE MY CATS NOW GOODBYE. ]
Not much. Shockingly.
You off the clock then? [ he can see that Game, thebe. ]

I am seeking for perspective. Nut & Bolt has their procedures and their systems which have served the company well, but there will be situations where it will be sufficient. We have to be prepared for even the lowest chances of hazards.
If you have little experience with hazard avoidance and weapon systems, some of the artillery are in need of maintenance.

[ they pinch and zoom in on their holo screen, where they're going through the currently available parts of the ship in the blueprints. they mark off no anomalies with the timestamp for the bar and move on. ]
I mean, that's all we can ask while we're waiting to hear back on the report we sent to the hub. [ they take their glass and lean over the bar to deposit in the glass cleaner, letting it get whisked away by the automated machines since thebe isn't here. ] You get your cigarettes? Most of you that asked for smokes didn't ask for lighters or matches, so hopefully the one we sent works.

[ In that case, Metis is lounging comfortably between some cushions and nice seating. ..With yeah their data pad. Relax time? Who is she? ]
O'keefe, then. [ A soft polite air. ]
Ensuring everything is getting covered that is needed in preparation for travel in the upcoming week, that the rest of the crew are tending to their own individual tasks... Simple management. [ "Simple." ]

... Yeah, that'll do. The amount of you that throw Mister and Sir out is surprising.
[ do not LOOK upon their CLAN!!!!! jk shu can look. ]
Yes. I don't get too many breaks, so I try and enjoy them when I can.
[ a small, black round pillow beside them shifts a bit, which they pat just a little. ]
Things'll be fairly calm this week with no deliveries, so we can focus on preparation for our first drop-off and making sure everyone has what they need for it.

Is this just natural paranoia, or speaking from previous tour experience?
I know gun and weapons maintenance. Can't promise I know much about space laser stuff though.

Somehow I'm not surprised this place drove a lot of us to smoking.
[ he digs in his pocket and pulls out the lighter, clicking it once so the flame flickers. ] Yeah. It's working just fine, thanks.

[ what's relaxing, says metis. ]
Yeah. That's fine with me.
Simple. Like... food and basic supplies?
Yeah. That's fine with me.
Simple. Like... food and basic supplies?
[ Yeah! Though, the emotion vibes from them are oddly. Blank. ]
Checking in our supplies and wares is more of Thebe's role, however I do oversee those orders and ensure we can get it all done, so.. in a way, yes. But also not. [ A quiet chuckle. ] As Chief of Staff, I'm more of a personal timekeeper, orchestrating our schedules and planning our upcoming essential travels. That and helping coordinate my crew effectively.
[ Kinda like a "leader." ]

[ PERCEIVES.
also perceives this moving pillow, what's happening there? ]
No touchdown this week then? The schedule was something like Monday touch down and then moving on to the next place from... Thursday?

I think a lot of you came pre-disposed, if I'm to judge anything from the requests. [ a light blip of amusement in their otherwise calm emotions. ] The nanites at least should offset any illnesses that come with bad habits, although the air filters are probably going to need replaced if too many of you stress smoke at once.
[ joking? anyways, they close out of their stuff for now and turn to face him on their stool, faint blue glow in their helmet blinking. ]
No problem. Think the least we can do is give you guys what requests we can while you're dealing with this.

[ it's cool, shu's are kinda blank too. although it's clearly more of a... controlled blank, like someone with a proper grasp on their emotionals, rather than just an absence of anything. ]
So, a manager then. Upper manager.
[ schedules and timekeeping... sounds like a lot of responsibility. ] Is there a hierarchy in the eight of you, then? You've told us you're above us in rank, but this sounds like the sort of thing someone higher than just senior would do.

[ it's just moving. and maybe has. an eye? it is looking at shu. thebe just seems to keep petting this pillow. ]
That's right. This week we're heading to the start of our route as we had to divert to meet up to receive your pods. They don't ever make it easy, but we go where we need to go.
We'll be shipbound for a week, then you guys will get to stretch your legs and explore the drop-off planet when we come to it next.
