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're John Preston's warden now, I hear.

I thought I'd mention to you that I've spoken to him at length a couple of times, mostly because my own inmate has taken a slightly unhealthy interest in him and his world. If you'd like to talk about this, I'm more than happy to do so.

Private

[inhistorybooks]

I'd be happy to. O'Brien's your inmate, right?

Private

[mrs_persson]

That's so. He's quite intrigued by Preston's world, and I suspect he's trying to learn as much about it as he can.

I ought to inform you as well that I acquired three doses of Prozium for O'Brien. Only he can use it-it'll go inert if anyone else tries to take it. It's an experiment strictly for O'Brien, and hopefully it won't have much effect on Preston himself, but I thought you should know about it.

Private

[inhistorybooks]

Thanks for letting me know. Preston knows O'Brien's an inmate, right?

THANK YOU, haha.

[wichita_kansas]

You're the guy with a flair for ritzy Hawaiian t-shirt digs, right?

We talked a little a long while back. I'm Wichita.

Excuse my fail too xD

[inhistorybooks]

That musta been while I was here last, 'cause I'm afraid I don't remember you. Nice to meet you, again.

WE ARE WINNING a la Charlie Sheen

[wichita_kansas]

Yeah. Live long and prosper.

Come on bro, I've got tiger blood

[inhistorybooks]

You've watched Star Trek?

[captain_jtkirk]

My Enterprise is still prettier to look at. [Sarcasm is the number one cover up for bad moods, ever.]

[But now Private]

I'm all ears.

[inhistorybooks]

They've both got their charms. [Because dude, no self respecting engineer would say your Enterprise is ugly.]

[Private]

Is there anyone you'd actually want pickin' your locks?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

[What kind of question is this?]

... no. Why?

Private

[inhistorybooks]

Because if you want, I can probably set up something that'll shock anyone who tries breakin' in.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

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.

[ Blink blink blink. ]

Where?

[inhistorybooks]

Where do you want to go?

[stecktimdetail]

[ The CES- but that's a warden-restricted area, and he's an inmate and an offender and he doesn't even know whether he's 'good' or not (thanks, Howie, he's actively getting a complex about not being able to tell). ]

It's your choice. [ Pause. ] Commander.

[inhistorybooks]

[Trip will have to speak with him about that. :|a]

Call me Trip. The CES good for you?
