CALLISTO has read this message.

[ They will send her a pin that houses coordinates. If she presses on it, she will be guided by orange light and map to where they are.

The wall dividing them between space and safety has a panel that has seamlessly lifted from where it is, showing machinations inside. There's a digital panel that shows the pew pew and mechanical arm schematics compact in the space, listing its state as MAINTENANCE MODE. They hold out some polish and a hand towel. ]

[psynchroneyes]

[ She's here. 'Sup. ]

Soooo... We're doing the whole thing?

[dropoffs]

Only certain parts.

[ She will see a digital schematic that shows the spots where it needs oiling. It is mostly joints and openings. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Oh. Well, that's easy enough.

[ towel get. we gonna make this baby shine. ]

Guess you gotta do a lot of grunt work around here, huh?

[dropoffs]

Who will do the work if not us? You all are meant to be helping hands, but now we have to consider you all might resist.

[ They will also help shine the mechanism. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Eh, someone might.

[ Said ever so casually. ]

But me? I'm getting kinda bored, anyway.

[dropoffs]

Bored enough to work instead.

[ They think it's weird, but they do prefer useful people. They're just. Paranoid. ]

[psynchroneyes]

It happens.

[ rub a dub dub... we still polishing ]

Otherwise I might start going stir-crazy.

[dropoffs]

I don't like being confined to a space.

[ So they understand to a degree... ]

[psynchroneyes]

Buuut... isn't this ship like being confined to a space?

[dropoffs]

That's what I meant.

[ So, yeah, even they're not the happiest about being on the ship. ]

[psynchroneyes]

—Ah.

[ No wonder they seem so. This. ]

Well... it shouldn't be long before we're able to get off next, right?

[dropoffs]

We should be within the next planet's orbit by Sunday, then land on Monday.

[ Which is NICE. They don't like being cooped up. Their vibes are... Things are kind of familiar, to be in a spaceship. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Then it won't be long now! You've got something to look forward to.

[dropoffs]

It'll still be during work hours, but better than staying in here all day.

[psynchroneyes]

Oh, definitely. A change in environment can do wonders for the motivation and all.

[dropoffs]

What motivation do you need?

[psynchroneyes]

Depends on the job! Hands on stuff like this is easy enough to work through, but if it's like... paperwork. That's a lot harder to focus on, especially if you're surroundings are boring and dull...

[dropoffs]

Paperwork seems needless and unnecessary when you can resolve problems with your own hands.

[ Like literally. So they agree. ]

[psynchroneyes]

See, that's what I'm saying! But noooo, stuffy old corporate men always want this documented and that on paper and ugghhhh.

[ things a ceo should not be saying ]

[dropoffs]

I was taught why they were important, but it hasn't changed my stance.

[ But they continue working with papers and stuff, I guess. We push the papers sometimes. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Yeah, it's just boring and it sucks. A necessary evil, I suppose.

[dropoffs]

I'll have to do more paperwork because of all of you.
