Well, with any luck, an overhaul will help, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to hold my breath. They say twice is a coincidence, three is a pattern—and arguably, we're already past number three.

Be real with me here—I know this is unprecedented for you guys too, but how much would you bet on something like this happening again?
And it's certainly too short notice to move ships. So we may just have to make do.
[ Which is tiring. Exhausting. ]
...Considering plenty of events that have traversed in the past week have been a first in my time stationed, I feel the possibility of something like this happening again is high. I would wish for nothing more than to be optimistic and consider it a fluke but I find it difficult to think that true.
Since we will be docking planetside this coming week, we should be in a better position regarding communication. So ideally we will receive word from them.
[ Fragmented thoughts come through, a word... anything... before they shake their helm. Everyone should go on strike. ]
The company is far too comfortable leaving their ships to their own devices at this rate, as long as the contracted work gets done.
"Ideally" is the keyword there, I'm guessing. [yeah!! go on strike!! he shrugs, still wry.] I'm familiar with leaders like that. Guess that type is universal, if it's easier for them.

By the way, how are you guys holding up? I know it's tense between the senior crew and junior crew, since—to be frank—we're still gauging how much we can count on you guys, but I'm guessing it's been a pretty rough few days for you too.
They are the kind of leaders undeserving, not meant to lead. What is the purpose of leading if you cannot try and provide?
[ ...A sigh, shaking their head as their emotions simmer to a controlled easy composure. ]
It's to be expected some kind of rift may form between the two when one believes they are not meant to be and the other has a contract they must strictly follow. I have many years of experience in dealing with disputes and tensed situations in the past, so I am managing. As the others are dealing it as best they can.
I do. It's a way for me to get the knowledge I seek, an opportunity to research in matters important to me, and I enjoy working otherwise.
[ Though the feeling of that enjoyment for work, any contentment for that matter feels like it's underwater. Murky. ]
...When a civilization faces a sudden change, it takes some reassuring and a gentle hand when you know it's for the greater good. You can't just force it onto them. Small introductions, giving them the opportunity to be heard.. work with them and not against. [ A distant feeling of wistfulness. ] Anything more specific I am afraid I cannot delve too much into.
[ A pause. ] There are people - worlds I wish to protect. Which is precisely why I accepted this opportunity to come here. A chance to be able to find a way to protect and save, with how advanced things are here.

And what's the chances of the upper management doing anything helpful about it?

[not said judgingly—just curious as to why.]
Mm... what kind of disputes and situations have you dealt with before?
