[ ganymede can be found on the observation deck, a datapad on their lap and their I.R.I.S. holoscreen up as they face the wide windows. they seem to have a manila folder next to them on the bench they're seated at, but they're not paying it much mind as they run through a variety of scifi looking screens that fill with graphs, charts, and statistics with the expanse of space the backdrop. ]
Afternoon - I don't think I asked. Do you prefer Temenos? I think I remember you saying that yesterday. [ lifting their head to greet him! ] I've got your contract for you.
Afternoon - I don't think I asked. Do you prefer Temenos? I think I remember you saying that yesterday. [ lifting their head to greet him! ] I've got your contract for you.
Temenos is fine, yes.
[ he doesn't really care as long as it's not "the hound", frankly, and even then??? even then. it's fine.
in the meantime, he will come over once he's spotted ganymede, pleased when they remember, and holds out his hand. he's not exactly comfortable with this whole emotion thing which means that when he does come closer, there's sort of a wary cat vibe to it, but it's masked easily with politeness and a touch of curiosity. ]
Thank you for your expedience, Ganymede. What... [ followed by the emotion of .... What The Fuck ] ...I suppose these are 'diagnostics'?

[ isnt it terrible. i love it to death (like crick)
anyway. of all of the tasks presented this one was the most ye olde friendly for temenos, and thus, here he is. he is similarly a little wary, emotionally - like a cat - and keeps a polite, respectable emotional distance to keep anything weird from leaking over. eugh. ]
These side effects are certainly something.

[ temenos gets to find adrastea out and about, blue data filtering across the interior of their visor but just visible (if reversed) from the outside. the perpetual blue glow blinks when they see temenos, and the data fades, as they tilt their head. ]
Settling in, Mistral?
Settling in, Mistral?
In as much as one can, I suppose.
[ translation: im a ye olde weirdo and everything is space. temenos is keeping a safe and respectful distance from adrastea at the moment, likely in hopes of not emotionally projecting. imagine being known? no thank you ]
Adrastea, was it? You've got an interesting set of skills.

[ the good news is that, when he gets closer to ganymede, there's just a calm buzz in their proximity. so he'll probably be fine? the officer doesn't even seem to notice the wariness - if they do, they're not reacting to it. ]
Of course. I had to find one of our printers that's online, since we don't use them too often, but luckily we haven't done away with them. [ they set aside their datapad and do pick up the manila folder to offer temenos. it's. pretty thick.
so they won't release until they're sure that he has it. ]
Yep, these are our diagnostics for the life support at the moment. The thing that circulates the air and keeps it and the water clean. I don't know about the others, but I tend to lump in the gravity systems with it, too, because it's kind of hard to do any work if we're all just floating around freely.

[ a light, tinkling laugh leaves the synthesizer, but adrastea gives him a shrug. ]
It's a lot to get used to. Been there. A few of us had to learn the ropes, whereas others were more outfitted or used to this kind of thing.
[ a very muted, faint interest comes through their calm at his comment, though. ]
Adrastea. It's one I've spent a lot of time currating, much like I'm sure you have.

[ read that word as croak which is also acceptable i think. in any case, io is... pretty blank slate, eerily silent in that particular realm. there doesn't seem to be anything coming off of them emotionally, so temenos is safe at least from Receiving. wow.
with a gesture, they nudge the cart with their metal leg. hover ahead, produce. ]
Mmm, they are a bit jarring at first. We're told they vary from crew to crew... so we really can never put a pin on what to expect from them.

I take it you're a fast learner? Perhaps I'll ask the others for some tips as well.
[ he's. managing. he's doing fine, so this is probably a joke. ]
And yes. Something like that. [ c: ] All the glitz and glamour of the inquisitor, if one could consider memorizing scripture ad nauseam such a thing.
Riddle me this, information officer. How does one choose to join this predicament, as opposed to being kidnapped to do so? Were you recruited?

[ he will take it! are you implying he cannot lift a stack of papers thats so mean.
but, temenos seems pleased for it, taking the stack of papers in his arm, and joking - ] I don't suppose I could trouble you for a pen and paper as well? I ought to have asked yesterday, but I was preoccupied.
[ as for the diagnostics.... that sure is a thing! his nose wrinkles a little with it - it all feels rather excessive, nature is a real thing, but it's fine. ] So noted. That switch in the simulation room is quite the troublesome thing. I suppose we're to watch you work on these systems...?

[ i am in fact implying that, yes.
ganymede pauses for a moment at this question, joking as it is, and shifts their weight to one side so that they can better reach a pouch on the side of their belt underneath the jacket they wear. they pull out a clicky pen and a sheaf of sticky notes in orange. ]
I can get you a notebook if you'd like to request one, though it might be tomorrow that you get it. In the meantime, you can have these - I have so many of them that it's kind of sad. The notes will stick to things you put them on, but peel off safely.
[ take! but they shrug as they settle back down, scootching aside if temenos would like to sit and go through his contract while they work. nature is a real thing but you gotta bring it to space, temenos. :\ ]
You certainly can. If you'd like to stay, we can also sit in companionable silence while we do our own thing, or you can ask me questions while I work.

I can't exactly stand not knowing things. Better to be a fast learner than anything else.
[ you're doing amazing, temenos. ]
Not especially, frankly. [ rip your scripture ] I can respect the gods, but I don't really have much interest in that sort of thing, at the end of the day.
In my specific case, I found out about Nut & Bolt through them contracting with my homeworld and signed up for the winter tour that came before this spring one. Stable job with good benefits and pay, and I could get more information and travel out of it.

[ there's a huff, at first. ]
That makes two of us.
[ so they can probably imagine how he feels about this situation, but temenos is a patient, patient man, so, he can wait. the comment about the gods just gets a little shrug - it's not something he's particularly impacted by either way, in terms of scripture, but the rest is more interesting. ]
I see. [ head tilt. ] Information of any particular kind?

If it benefits me or mine, I'm glad to have it. However it can be utilized afterwards is sometimes a moot point.
[ they don't seem particularly bothered by the shady implications of this, but they also don't seem to think that temenos will be bothered, either, considering. ]
I like answers.

[ it sure is.
i reread the task and i realized this involves physical labor so this is not actually the most friendly task for temenos which is funnier. it's fine. he's perfectly content to keep his emotional distance, watching the produce cart move... ]
What did you experience...? If you'll indulge my curiosity.

Yes, that would be nice.
[ a notebook!! yay. he takes the sticky notes and clicky pen though, examining the stack briefly before looking at them, raising an eyebrow at the explanation but saying nothing. listen he's smart he can put two and two together he doesn't need a how to on sticky notes. probably.
but, he pockets the notes and does not sit, instead just holding onto the folder. there's a hint of a smile on his face at the suggestion. he doesn't have to talk about himself AND he gets to ask questions? that or just hang out? wow. win win today. ]
Well. You've read my intentions from the start. [ heh. ] Are your four companions off buried somewhere in the belly of the proverbial beast, so to speak? Or will we be seeing them throughout the week as well?

[ don't worry there are little crates here too, temmy-sized crates full of herbs as well. very aromatic. in any case, they grumble a little, the ekg that blips steadily on their face just keeps blipping normally. ]
Similarly so, invasive things like this were not uncommon in the realm of side-effects... we just had to grin and bear it.
[ kicks in door with a grunt. galley be upon ye. io will unload anything that seems particularly heavy. ]
Worth it not to just deteriorate in the... lack of gravity.

[ they don't doubt he's smart! but ganymede figures it's the polite thing to do, explaining what something does or how it works when you give it to someone. they make no comment at the face, and instead settle back in with their work.
while the interface is very scifi and busy, they work comfortably with it as they scroll through the running data. ]
Oh, no, they're out and about, so you'll see them. We've decided we'll check in on the system while we all do our routine jobs, instead of switching off and staring it down. Everything seems to be in running order, now - we just don't want to tempt fate into jinxing us about it.

Metis? That's just how they speak. [ a blip of fondness. ] Wouldn't be surprised if they had everything memorized, though, so it comes off a little like a script. Amalthea, too.
Europa is the one that usually treats the spiels like an actual script, since it's usually pulled out like teeth, and you'll be lucky to get Callisto to say more than two sentences at once about most anything.

[ there's a faint and distant blip of annoyance. lmao. ]
Yes, well. I'll be keeping my questioning endeavors far from the script-worthy. I don't particularly need to be pandered to. [ they were probably just trying to be nice, temenos. this is irrelevant to him
still, this is at least useful info to have, so he makes a mental note. ] Quite the crew you have.

[ a tilt of their head at the annoyance, regarding him. there's no change to the calm, idle curiosity that they seem to just have as background noise, though. ]
I wouldn't say it's pandering, but I'm not here to give you some uplifting speech about how they just want to be friendly or useful. I think I'd have to go to the medbay for hives.
[ anyways, ]
They're alright to have around. Spend enough time with people, you learn how to work and live together, especially when it's just you and them for a month.
