[discomfort]

I do have some questions.
But did you have to do the cleaning?

[dropoffs]

No. That's what the drones are for.
What kind of questions do you have?

[discomfort]

Why am I hearing and feeling things that aren't mine?
The thoughts and emotions of others.

[dropoffs]

Others have referred to it as cosmic interference during travel. Cosmoelectromagnetic waves that can affect minds and sometimes bodies.
Nothing we have not dealt with ourselves in previous tours. They are temporary.

[discomfort]

I see.
I would suggest that your superiors add that mention to the welcome presentation next time.
I thought I was imagining voices in my head!

[dropoffs]

I'll pass it along to the rest of the Crew to make note of.

[ This is not their problem. ]

[discomfort]

Are you all hearing things too?

[dropoffs]

We are feeling your emotions and thoughts, yes. I tune them out.

[discomfort]

Can we feel yours?

[dropoffs]

Given it's an open connection - it does go both ways.

[discomfort]

Are you a fan of meeting people in person right now?

[dropoffs]

Not necessarily. All of your emotions and thoughts are distracting.

[ A moment after ]

Nevertheless, if you are in need of work, I will ping my location.

[discomfort]

It's fine.
I won't force you to come out. I mostly wanted to know if you would even offer, even if it would be inconvenient for you.

[dropoffs]

Yes. The offer would be there.

[ UNFORTUNATELY, ]

[discomfort]

I really, really do not envy your position.

[dropoffs]

It is but a means to redeem myself. And work is work.

[discomfort]

Redeem yourself from what?

[dropoffs]

[ That is no longer work talk. ]

Not important here.

[discomfort]

Ah. Off the table for discussion.
Understood.
You mentioned it first though.

[dropoffs]

...
So I did.
Forget I have then.

[discomfort]

Consider it forgotten.

[ no he will definitely bring this up again later ]

[dropoffs]

[ THE WORST but also ]
