Day 58

Amy: So what do you think?

Jim: You know… I really can’t make heads or tails of this, except for the fact that this strobing effect is really annoying.

Amy: Oh come on, it's kinda fun if you look at it the right way, turn off the lights and I’ll show you.

Jim: Okay…? *click*

…

…

…

Poses now, really?

Amy: Hey, gotta make the most of it right?

…

…

…

Jim: *click*

Amy: Hey!

Jim: Alright, back to business… don’t frown at me.

Amy: You’re such a spoil sport, you know that?

Jim:  One of us has to be on track here. Anyways you think we should report this?

Amy: Protocol would tell us to but… I think we should look into this on our own first.

Jim: Why do you think that?

Amy: One, I’m bored and there is nothing else to do and two, I don’t want to deal with the CBI if I have to.

Jim: Why is that?

Amy: Leaking war crimes kinda gets you a reputation.

Jim: Right… I suppose that wouldn’t really be the best for me either.

Amy: Exactly, it's not like they could really do anything to us now, but it’d just be a big pain in the ass that I’d rather not deal with.

Jim: That and call thing over here on a false alarm would really just waste everyone’s time.

Amy: That too. Anyways what do you think this thing is?

Jim: Considering that it sends out a signal of some sort and the lights… I’m thinking it's some sort of beacon.

Amy: A distress beacon maybe?

Jim: If it is it's not particularly effective, though if the number of faux signals its throwing out if any indication it could be getting stronger.

Amy: Which would explain why the Pirates never found it, was pretty easy to find for us.

Jim: Yeah, they must have been looking for this, but why?

Amy: Maybe something from their ship files would tell us?

Jim:  That’s only a bunch of porn though, and not very good porn mind you.

Amy: ...you actually watched some of it?

Jim: Oh please, I’m no saint. Either way it wasn’t very impressive, but I'll take another look at it just in case.

Amy: Sounds like a plan… Ok yeah I need to cover this thing up, it's starting to hurt my eyes.

Jim: Agreed, I'll go and start making dinner then.

Amy: Oh please do, I’m starving.

Jim: *laughs* you know you owe me a meal one of these days.

Amy: I'm not the one with the kitchen, but I gotcha, I’ll figure something out.

Jim: Kitchen is always open.

Amy: *laughs* Fine fine, one day soon then, now get to it soldier.

Jim: Yes ma’am.
