[ If you don't know Altman's voice, the first few seconds are your only real indication of who's working the camera right now--there's about a second and a half of his face as he flips on the wearable, then the video immediately swings down to... track pants, running shoes, and what looks to be an oversized roomba

It's a damn cleaning robot. When's the last time you took a bath?

[reunified]

I showered this morning, thank you very much. Besides, I've never had these things take an interest in me when I have been dirty.

Carryin' around any tasty robot treats? Scrap lithium?

[reunified]

Not unless someone slipped some into my pockets when I wasn't paying attention. Pretty sure I haven't stepped in anything either.

[evaskullface]

Yeah, probably glitching then. You got engineers on it, right?

[reunified]

I've got someone who wants to look at it, yeah. If that fails, it looks like half the station wants to take it home.

[He snorts, amused by that.]

Guess I ain't the only one who gets bored around here.

[reunified]

Really? I have a hard time believing anyone has trouble finding things to do here.

audio;

[evaskullface]

Sure, plenty of things to do. Nothin' interesting.

[reunified]

What? There are at least three massive libraries on the station.

[...]

Let me put it this way. Back home, we was either in the middle of battle, or in cryo until we got to one.

[ O-oh. There's a bit of an awkward pause on Altman's end. ]

You're one of the military guys?

audio;

[evaskullface]

Noble-Four, United Nations Space Command.

[That's a yes.]

audio;

[reunified]

[ Yeah, definitely awkward now. Altman clears his throat uncomfortably. ]

Which group was that, again? The one with the aliens, or the one with the massive armor?

audio;

[evaskullface]

Wear the armor, fight the aliens. No such thing as a friendly Covvie.
