[ off to the observation deck - and ganymede is there, as they so often are! they're not docked in a garage, this planet, so you can still see landscape of anoria through the windows without actually being cold.
the command officer is seated with an honest to god paper start chart across the coffee table of the lounge area of the deck, updating something on a datapad slowly when harley finds them. ]
Part of why I'm always hanging out here, to be honest.
[ also, it's not fuckin COLD here. but they take an actual, metal (math) compass to carefully chart the distance between one point and another before updating it in the system. ]
It's kind of fun to go a little analog every now and then. This is something the locals did, and were kind enough to provide, so I figured I'd learn how they charted things and then reference them against the digital recordings we take.

[in the tone of someone who thinks they would die if they had to do this work themselves, but ganymede is into it so it's fine.]
How'd you get into this type of work, anyway?
