Note to self: there is always a catch.

So do all of these joyous little excursions end in the lot of us running for our lives? I am just trying to ascertain what sort of place you people think you are running, here.

Comments

[hologramatic]

Not all of them, I don't think...

[crystal_seeker]

So my first outing has just been a special case, then.

[hologramatic]

I suppose it would be. Are you new?

[crystal_seeker]

For the most part. I've been here long enough to have experienced my first flood, as well.

Miss Zandt looks after me.

[hologramatic]

Ah. She's quite the woman.

[crystal_seeker]

That's one way of looking at it.

[hologramatic]

And what was it you've done that landed you on our beloved Barge to begin with?

[crystal_seeker]

I couldn't tell you specifically. Either doing my job or disobeying orders. It depends upon who sent me here.

[hologramatic]

Well, whatever you were doing, it couldn't have been much good.

[crystal_seeker]

If Miss Zandt's reaction were any indication you would think I toppled an entire civilization.

...I didn't, by the way. Makes a lot of dust. Bad for the hair and nails.

[hologramatic]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know anything about that. I'm in possession of something I like to call "morals".

[crystal_seeker]

Morals are relative to individual persons and societies.

[hologramatic]

I couldn't agree more.

However, it seems as though you chose the wrong morals.

[crystal_seeker]

I don't deny that I chose poorly.
