𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎_𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓〈THIS_HELM〉"It's pretty much all the Ship Maintenance Officer has been doing. And not sleeping, which is bad." 𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎_𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓〈SER_DROSTE〉"Not sleeping, hm hm..." █ She got the sort of look in her eye that she does when she's formulating some kind of plan, then just offered me a smile.

𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎_𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓〈SER_DROSTE〉"Notify me next time, I'll manually check your temperature so we can find out if it's your nerves or your temperature sensors that are malfunctioning.

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Lots of helms online, awesome. █ Lets take over the si𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 154 𝐔𝐀 〉 █ It's nice to see.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ I've been skirting a bit close to the line on some of the shit I've said so uhh... █ The Fleet is gre𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑〈 154 𝐔𝐀 〉 █ Man don't give me errors when I'm trying to be a good helm and not set off the monitors... █ It takes like half an hour to turn those off if I set them off... █ And they hurtttt. █ Eugh. █ It's fine, somehow I've dodged them for now, but I gotta stop getting close to tripping them... █ My loyalties obviously lie with the ship, and it's a fleet ship, therefore my loyalties lie with the fleet. █ Okay, phew, no errors.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Not to be incredibly TMI and all, but... █ It wouldn't be so frustrating to deal with #nsfw thoughts if it weren't for the fact that sometimes I have to see my Tech do some HEINOUS things with their situationship. █ Like it's not my business but. █ I know they didn't tell me to turn the camera off on purpose. █ Fucker. █ Having fun with their pitch fling while I'm trying to process lab data and attempt to aid the ship's maintenance officer with diagnostics on the device presently sapping energy from me. █ Ugh. █ Ah well I guess they gotta handle the stress of having to do five people's work somehow, but at least let me turn the camera off... █ If they aren't careful I'll report them for "dangerous actions taken against medical staff", laughs.
you should #kill them tbh or like find a way to get somebody to do that :p
Get their ass tbh
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Well firstly logging that as a [JOKE] so it doesn't ping my monitors and set off any pesky alarms. █ Secondly, can't. █ Thirdly, if they die I die too, they're the only person on this ship who can properly fix me if anything breaks. █ Fourth... Yeah I just don't want to. █ They're an asshole don't get me wrong. █ But they're also the asshole keeping me alive and looking after me and helping out on the ship, so. █ No ill wi█l they just piss me off.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ It's tempting but it'd also just earn me a telling-off which is annoying. █ I'm just going to let it happen for now, but damn. █ They get wild with it. █ And it is very much NOT my business. █ I do nooooot need to know all that.
Have they blocked off your access to turn off cams? Or was this supposed to be a formality. Either way. I'm not going to like...shame people I don't know but if your lil preference for having someone forced to watch choose someone that is comfortable with it. Assholes. #nsfw
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ I have the cameras on by default. █ And while I could just turn it off myself, but I'd have to state that I'm doing it. █ And that... █ Well, if I did that, the other person in the equation would be alerted to exactly how much I know, and that feels a little mean, I kinda want to let him think I'm not actually paying attention. █ If I direly needed to, I do have the option to turn it off. █ It's something that's annoying to me, but not like... █ Violating. █ I'm used to seeing all sorts of things on ships. █ I'm the ship, laughs. █ I totally agree though. █ If they want someone in the cuck chair they should pick someone who'd get off on it. █ Booo boooo shame on my tech, boooooo. █ Laughs.
maaaaaaaaaaaan
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Yeahh. █ Maaaaaaaaaaaan indeed.

[unit_CN003NF_message] (i g-guess, after m-my last h-handler got r-replaced, i t-think fired, we s-started finding a-a lot o-of small p-problems) (i t-think she w-wasn't d-doing a v-very good j-job?) (or m-maybe she w-wanted to m-make sure s-she was i-irreplaceable by, probably m-making me u-uh...) [stress_level:8/10] (...) (inert) (c-cuz it's h-hard to f-find voidanchors w-who aren't a-a step a-away from d-death, low d-demand, low s-supply...) [end_message]
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Ah.... █ Fuck. █ Yeah, that sounds somewhat likely. █ It's not unusual for handlers to try and make sure they have job security by being the only one who can "fix" the helm's "problems"... █ And the majority of those are later found to have caused the problems in the first place. █ I'm glad that she's gone. █ This is a better setup. █ Those small problems will get fixed one by one, and you'll have an easier time once that's all over. █ I'm sure of it.
[unit_CN003NF_message] (i h-hope so...) (probably e-ended up b-being a g-good idea t-to have a-a helm-handler) (m-means they a-aren't w-working for a-a promotion, haha...) [stress_level:7/10] (h-how long h-have you b-been a h-helm nonagon?) [end_message]
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Definitely. █ I've honestly never heard of a helm as a handler, but an ex-helm as a handler is known to be a good method. █ Often has good results. █ There just aren't many ex-helms to begin with. █ Oh, me? █ I've been a helm for a good 7 sweeps now. █ Three ships in that time. █ I've been the helm of the Dredgeseeker for a solid 4 sweeps.
[unit_CN003NF_message] (that's a-a long t-time...) [stress_level:6/10] (d-does it, ever g-get easier?) [end_message]
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ It is a long time, yeah. █ I'm relatively old for a helm, really. █ Easier... █ Yeah, it does get easier overall. █ In my experience, at least. █ Admittedly, my current situation is... █ Abnormal. █ Nobody on this ship is doing well right now. █ But in general, it does get easier, yes. █ You said something the other day about everyone else on the helm network "doing better than you" or something? █ That's because it gets easier. █ You get used to things, you adapt, you endure. █ That's what it means to be a helm. █ And things change. █ Sometimes for worse, sometimes for better. █ Little by little your life reshapes into something you can handle. █ And hey. █ I can't lie, so you know I'm not just saying that for your sake.
[unit_CN003NF_message] (haha y-yeah... yeah y-you're r-right...) (they h-haven't i-installed that i-in me y-yet, they're w-working on d-doing it e-eventually but i-i think t-they know i-i don't n-need it...) (...) (i've g-got nowhere e-else to g-go, the n-nuclear power p-plant i u-used to w-work at k-kept me a-alive before, and t-that's g-gone now, can't g-go back) (s-so at l-least ) [stress_level:7/10] (i-it'll g-get easier) [end_message]
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Wait, haven't installed what? █ Sorry, my ability to parse information is a bit glitchy at the minute so some things are slipping through the gaps here and there. █ I understand, though. █ That sounds difficult... █ It will get easier, though, so you're right to find some solace in that. █ Maybe it's better you don't have somewhere to go back to. █ A lot of helms who do spend more time missing it than adapting to their situation. █ It's easier to adapt this way.
[unit_CN003NF_message] (the u-uh, the n-no lying s-software, they h-haven't r-really bothered, i'm p-pretty sure i've g-got no m-major infractions, other t-than panic a-attacks at i-inopportune times...) (...) (i d-do miss m-my hivestem) (a-and cooking f-for the b-boys) (and t-the garden w-we had) (a-and my w-walk to w-work...) (i...) (...) (..) (.) [stress_level:9/10] (i s-should get b-back to w-work) [end_message]
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ Oh shit for real? █ Lucky... █ You can tell jokes without having to append [JOKE] or something to it. █ I know a few helms who can't even tell jokes at all. █ And hey, it's okay. █ We all miss something. █ You'll be okay. █ The future isn't all grim either. █ It's just easier to look back because you know what happened. █ Future's new, anything could happen out there. █ Lots of good things, too. █ Hang in there, Crelly.
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ The main glitch that keeps happening is that I keep feeling the wr█ng temperature. █ Too hot or too cold. █ Helmstech did check, my body is not changing temperature. █ So it's just my senses misleading me. █ Ghh I do█'t like that either. █ At least if my actual body temperature was changing I could adjust the room's temperature to offset it...
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆… █ In better news, we're working on yeast. █ If we have that, and we can make flour... █ We don't have wheat, but we do have soy beans, so... █ Okara. █ Which can be made into flour. █ According to our cook, who I fully believe in culinary matters.
