Okay. I'd like that.

We're about due for a port; we can do supply runs together then. Plus there's the Enclosure.

[handleyourshit]

What are ports like?

[hippie_ninja]

It depends. They're all pretty different. We went to one that was in space; that was pretty crazy. I still have some alien weed.

[handleyourshit]

I never dreamed I'd ever go off the freaking planet.

[hippie_ninja]

You never dreamed of being an astronaut?

...Nah me either. But I used to watch a lot of astronomy documentaries. It was really soothing to me, thinking of how small the world actually is.

[handleyourshit]

Nah. Dying alone, cold, and exploded in the empty vacuum of space never really appealed to me.

I wanted to fix the planet we already had.

[hippie_ninja]

Always? Even before the planet was...dead?

[handleyourshit]

Especially before the planet was dead.

When I thought there was a chance we could maybe do it.

[Idiota.]

[hippie_ninja]

That's ambitious. I mean I used to go to protests and sit ins, I'd write to Senators and go to Capitol Hill.

But I never thought it'd be fixed. Not until we had to start all the way over.

[handleyourshit]

I always planned for one person at a time.

One else at a time.

[hippie_ninja]

I like that.

It's hard to stay focused on the individual sometimes.

[handleyourshit]

I always thought -

[Christ it's hard to remember how it felt, before. It feels like an eternity ago.]

I always thought it was the only way to change anything. Start where you are. Move up.

[hippie_ninja]

It is though, isn't it? Even now--we have to start where we are.

[handleyourshit]

I guess.

It's hard to believe in anything now.

[hippie_ninja]

Yeah.

Nice thing about the Barge is you don't have to believe in anything. All you have to do is react.

[handleyourshit]

Kind of hard to change at that point though. Which I keep being told is the point.

[hippie_ninja]

Not really. You can learn better reactions as time goes by. That's how we survive, right?

[handleyourshit]

React, learn, adapt.

Be proactive the next time.

[hippie_ninja]

You can't really be proactive about floods and breaches. They just happen. But ports yeah. We can plan for those. Kind of.

[handleyourshit]

Alright.

Well. We're going to need packs, or bags. Somewhere to stage. And a list of highest priority items.

[hippie_ninja]

The kitchen staff send out a list of their needs, but...yeah I've got my own.

[handleyourshit]

I have some clothes I can make into packs.

[hippie_ninja]

I can teach you how to use some of my other weapons if you want. I've got a katana.
