I never said I thought it would work. We don't even know if there are any escape pods in the first place, let alone how to navigate space or the multiverse. I'm not getting my hopes up.

That's definitely a last resort. A very, very last resort.

And leaving the same way this Scrap guy does is better somehow? We still wouldn't be able to navigate space without help.

That was your idea.

I don't hear you coming up with anything.

[ A beat follows, then a shrug. ]

My priority isn't an escape plan, really.

Then what is your priority? Enlighten me.

I want to know how genuine this so-called mix-up is. Whether or not there's something deeper going on or not is gonna change how I want to approach our circumstances.

And how do you expect to figure that out? All we have is the senior crew's word and no way of contacting anyone else from this stupid company.

[ he sounds salty but he's really just curious. ]

Hey, investigations take time. It's still too early to have any really solid leads.

[ ugh. ]

You sound like the police.

[ wow? ]

So what if I do?

They aren't exactly some ideal to aim for. Most of the police are useless.

[ Welp. There's a feeling in the air that he's likely struck at a nerve, but she doesn't elaborate aloud. ]

Yeah, well, deal with it. A lot of us are playing detective lately.

[ this is a nice feedback loop because same. same. this is going well! ]

Whatever. None of you are going to be able to do anything about it anyway when we're just stuck on this stupid ship.

You always this much of an optimist?

When there's something worth being optimistic about, I will be.

It's only eight weeks. Can't even look forward to riding it out?

[ with the sulky air of someone that can't believe the words coming out of his own mouth, ]

I'd rather be home.

[ lots of complicated feelings to that. just a nice, big knot of 'em. he will not be elaborating at this time. ]

[ these vibes. ]

I... guess that's fair. At least you don't have to worry about missing out on anything.

[ what? he's clearly fine. the vibes are still just vibing. ]

At least there's that.

[ and maybe that's a good thing. ]

You'll get there, one way or another.

[ there's a little buzz of something unpleasant that disappears just as quickly as it came. ]

I'm aware. I'm not a little kid who needs reassurance, Date. And I'm not planning to just sit around and wait for them to take us home, either.

So much for trying to be nice.

[ maybe try coming off as less condescending. ]

Eight weeks can't go by fast enough.
