Across the Expanse: Day 19
*Start Transmission*
Havardy: How’s it going Lee?
Lee: I'm doing well. The doctor says I gotta stay up here on the ship for the rest of today to rest up.
Havardy: Makes sense, plus the engineers are still working on the Tower, should have it up and running by the end of the day.
Lee: Joy.
Havardy: You couldn’t sound more excited.
Lee: Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m looking forward to looking out over the Expanse for countless hours soon, but this bed is just so comfortable.
Havardy: Pffft, it can’t be that good.
Lee: It’s like I’m sleeping on a cloud.
Havardy: So you’d fall straight through it and to the earth?
Lee: You know, I never did peg you for the literal type.
Havardy: I am when the mood is right.
Lee: So when you’re bored out of your mind?
Havardy: Bingo.
Lee: Weren’t you just saying that you could go for some downtime yesterday?
Havardy: Yeah but I didn’t think things would get so… dull, so fast.
Lee: What did you expect?
Havardy: To do some flying really.
Lee: How would you? Sheila is busted to… you didn’t.
Havardy: What? Don’t you think Tessa deserves a better owner?
Lee: You named it Tessa?
Havardy: I like it, she’s got some attitude to her.
Lee: Just like her new owner I suppose.
Havardy: I’ll let that slide, for now.
Lee: Thank you for your mercy.
Havardy: Aren’t we full of the snark today?
Lee: I’m always full of it, you’ve just been around me enough to start realizing it.
Havardy: I almost prefer it when you all prim and proper, it was funny making you feel awkward.
Lee: That lasted for like a day or two.
Havardy: Four days thank you very much, and it was glorious.
Lee: I see we both have a different definitions of glorious.
Havardy: I'd say mine's the more entertaining one.
Lee: Debatable.
Havardy: A debate I'd win. By the way, did you take a look at that pirate file?
Lee: Yeah, it had a bunch of nonsense in it though, like log files and a rough inventory about what they’ve recently raided. And porn, lots and lots of porn.
Havardy: How sophisticated.
Lee: But yeah, I gave it to the crew of the Carpenter but they couldn’t really find anything useful in it. Did they find anything on the abandoned frigate?
Havardy: Nah, they wiped everything before they left.
Lee: But why? It’s not like they had anything to hide.
Havardy: Maybe they were just being methodical.
Lee: These files are oddly organized for a bunch of pirates.
Havardy: That’s disappointing though, they definitely were looking for something or they’d never stayed here that long.
Lee: Guess we’ll never know. Now that I think about it, what are they gonna do about that frigate they abandoned?
Havardy: No one’s said a thing to me, odds are I’ll have a new decoration outside my office. It’s clunky, but hey, I’ll take a change of scenery.
Lee: It’s the little things I suppose.
Havardy: Yup. Anyways I’ll let you get some rest, engineers should be done fixing up the Tower by tomorrow.
Lee: Right, talk to you later Amy.
Havardy: Later Jim.
