Kinda nice to have some quiet, apart from that flood. Of course, now that I've said it, there's gonna be some catastrophe and everyone'll start pointing fingers about me jinxing it, but still. Gotta admit, it's nice.

For any of the new people, my name's Commander Charles Tucker the Third, but everyone calls me Trip. I'm the Chief Engineer on board

You may be surprised by the records here. I'm well. Have you spoken with your new inmate yet?

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Not yet. I read his file, though. You ever talked to him?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

I don't believe so. He did not seem like the sort of inmate to show immediate concern over. [She doesn't remember any death threats, so.]

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

At least he doesn't have some grudge match planned against someone from back home who happens to be here too, yet.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

That may yet happen. You don't want to word word what is that word] jinx yourself.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Hang on, I'll find some wood to knock on.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Are all superstitions so odd?

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Basically. I'm not even sure where that one comes from.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

I read of multiple theories; all seemed ridiculous.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

I think most of 'em would be.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Having read about several, I agree.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

So, who was that woman you swapped places with for the flood?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[...Sigh.] Her name was Nora Timmer. She was something of a con artist.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

... What kinda con artist?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

She was planning to steal millions of dollars from several people before arriving here. It seemed...complex.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

And she was a warden?
