Did you people get rid of all the bodies, or was all that bullet damage and laser scoring just a little bit of harmless fun?

And who's the guy with the angry seaweed for a face?

Place seems too interesting for its own good.

Bodies were already gone by the time we got here, as far as I know we haven't found any remains anywhere.

Seaweed face is Joe, he used to live here before we all showed up and then he mutated into a tentacle monster because that's how radiation works here I guess.

[hyperthermic]

comforting.

[ Wait, hang on a sec. ]

u telling me were all gonna end up like tako-face?

[itsnotaonesie]

Not if you're smart about the radiation. Don't leave the station without a radiation suit, and you should be fine.

[hyperthermic]

what if i have armor that does that job already?

[itsnotaonesie]

As long as you take it through decontamination when you come back in, you should be fine.

Can I see it?

[hyperthermic]

sure

you the local expert ?

[itsnotaonesie]

[wow that was easy hell yes]

More or less, yeah. Though I will say that most of what I know is self taught.

[hyperthermic]

[ Look Mick knows (or has been, like, conditioned to know) when it's a good idea to have someone who knows the area check your shit. If his armor isn't up to snuff he'd rather not get roasted and mutated before finding that out. ]

used to be me. self-taught

just means u find out the things no one thinks of telling u

[itsnotaonesie]

[Mick gets to find out if his armor is in good shape, Peter gets to see super cool armor, everybody wins]

A big part of figuring out how to live here has been having to teach ourselves how to use this equipment. You do much tech stuff?

[hyperthermic]

yes.

have to maintain my timeship, make my own repairs to weapons, keep my armor updated

sometimes hijack a vehicle or two on assignment

needed to know my shit

[itsnotaonesie]

That is all great to hear and I'm gonna come back to it but first I wanna know what a timeship is because that sounds like some time travel stuff and I love it.

[hyperthermic]

its a timeship. it can travel through the time stream.

[ He's been doing the time travel thing for so long at this point that it takes him a second to be any more specific than that. ]

its how i do what i do. hunt time pirates. track fugitives. protect the timeline.

[itsnotaonesie]

THAT

is the coolest thing I've ever heard in my life, oh my God.

[He'd say that sounds fake but his job back home was pretty bonkers too, he knows how it goes.]

[hyperthermic]

[ He's just gonna look at this message in surprise for a good minute. A hundred years can make anything mundane. More than that, it's the first time someone hasn't reacted with repulsion or anger, finding out what he is. He's always the enemy.

It's been a long, lonely hundred years. ]

eh. you get used to it

thought this place was a time fragment at first

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter is very easily impressed and just fucking lives for this sci-fi shit you don't even know.]

Well sure, if you do it all the time.

What is a time fragment, exactly?

[hyperthermic]

piece of history that the time masters cant see. favorite places for pirates, fugitives.

not one, though.

if its anything ive heard of its a temporal distortion. kind of thing that folds up on itself and disappears when the time stream gets corrected

[itsnotaonesie]

I didn't know time worked that way, that's crazy.

Like, crazy in a cool way

[hyperthermic]

times weird

time masters would say it all makes sense, but thats just because theyre used to it

[itsnotaonesie]

This is the most sci-fi conversation I've ever had

Weirdest thing we had back home was probably the aliens.

[hyperthermic]

got those too

big bird looking bastards

[itsnotaonesie]

Like Sesame Street big birds or just birds that are big?

the aliens I met were more humanoid. there was this one lady with antennas and these big freaky bug eyes

[hyperthermic]

more like bird people

i think

never met one in person. just met a chick with big teeth who absorbed their power or smth

was she cute ?

[itsnotaonesie]

That's

different

I guess she was kind of cute in an insecty sort of way but I spent half the time afraid she was going to lay eggs in my stomach, so idk man

[hyperthermic]

pretty kinky

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW PETER IS A KID OKAY. Not that it would... change his reply. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

thanks man I really needed to think about it in the creepiest way possible

[it's ok peter can take it he's pretty much almost an adult]
