We came at a good time of the season according to some of the locals... lucky us.

[ io tilts their head, a little puff of air from their respirator and the sound of an autotuned chuckle. ]

They do actually. You'll be able to catch sight of it once it gets dark. Best to do it while we're here.

[perfectpower]

Yeah. We get a one-night pass here like we did in the last world, right?

[Maybe he can drag Nero out for a date.]

[dropoffs]

I think you've got some sort of free services like tattooing at the bazaar? Or procuring some of their handmade goods. But no, you should either stay on the ship for your sleeping arrangements, or I suppose you can linger at the lodge?

[perfectpower]

I guess we could stay up late to see the aurora then head back.

['We' he is definitely thinking of bringing someone with him.]

[dropoffs]

[ they get the feeling he is, they are just a humble npc. ]

You certainly could so long as it's done before we lift off. Best take advantage of it early.

[perfectpower]

I will.

[Io :( They deserve to see the aurora too.]

How long have you been doin' this?

[dropoffs]

[ they will do so i'm sure! ]

Three months total? I arrived with the rest of the seniors at the same time - we completed the winter tour and had our contracts extended for the spring one.

[perfectpower]

Huh. Were there senior crew with you then? And others? Or just you eight?

[dropoffs]

Twenty others - we totaled twenty-eight.

[perfectpower]

SO the other twenty decided to quit?

[dropoffs]

Some retired... some left for different ships among the fleet itself...

[perfectpower]

Did you guys go through what's been happening here? With the murders and trials?

[dropoffs]

[ a shake of their head ]

Nothing like this that I remember... nothing like what we've had to do the past few weeks.

[perfectpower]

Then it really is outside of the ordinary...damn. But I guess that's why you guys were just as surprised by it too.
