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.

[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]

[hyperthermic]

ur welcome

here to help

speaking of

whyd you ask about tech experience

recruiting for a nerd squad ?

[itsnotaonesie]

basically yeah

right now it's mostly me and one other guy that do a lot of the tech maintenance and repairs around here. I just like to have a good idea of who knows how to do what so we know how to match people with the areas they can help the most in.

[hyperthermic]

vehicle maintenance
weapons tech
timeship stuff--computers, AI programming, medical equipment, engines
other odds and ends

[itsnotaonesie]

oh awesome that definitely fills some tech gaps we've got
i don't know a ton about weapons and I don't even have my license yet

[hyperthermic]

there a lot of weapons around here ?

guess there has to be with things all marked up like they are

makes a person wonder what they armed themselves against

[itsnotaonesie]

Outside of things that people might have showed up here with and the lasers built into the security system, I haven't see a lot.

I'm not sure what they were fighting. Could have been aliens, could have been each other.

[hyperthermic]

Alien invasion could be interesting.

Never been through one of those.

[itsnotaonesie]

They aren't great, lot of collateral damage.
