[ Margaret can find Anise in their room, playing around with the IRIS display! She looks over to Margaret thoughtfully. ]
Hey, isn't your profile written kind of different from the others?

[she's in the middle of trying to feng shui their space. getting so annoyed at the placement of the closets.]
...Is it? [it looks normal to her.]
...Is it? [it looks normal to her.]
Yeah! Like it's kind of impressive, but kind of obscure... like a sales pitch!
That's the key to a good resume - vague enough to imply you could have expertise in anything they're looking for.
Whoa... [ impressed. ]
So what kind of work do you do, Margaret?
So what kind of work do you do, Margaret?
I used to be an executive with United Free Trade Planets, but recently I'm the co-owner of a freighter class ship and I manage its crew, which does contract work.
[they are space mercenaries, basically.]
[they are space mercenaries, basically.]
Not really. Much smaller, much older, fewer accommodations. We can man it with six people.
I'm learning that's unusual for most of you. I haven't lived planetside since I was in school.
That's amazing! It must be really expensive to run a spaceship...
It's not a large ship, but...yes. They tend to get damaged.
Really? By what?
[ is this ship going to get damaged, too.... ]

Bombardments from other ships, mostly? The occasional really beefed up droid.
[i mean they have not one but two military personnel so it seems possible.]

You mean you get into space-battles with other ships!? That's really a thing!?
Generally we try not to get into space battles with other ships. We only recently updated our shields, but they haven't been the best. But it happens.
Yikes... I hope it doesn't happen to us here.
I mean, it sounds like we have defenses and all, but most of us here wouldn't know what to do in an emergency...

What makes you say that?
[this seems like a somewhat decently prepared group to her.]
[this seems like a somewhat decently prepared group to her.]
I mean, a whole bunch of us have never been on a spacecraft before, and we're not exactly a cohesive group... y'know?
I don't know that not being on a spacecraft is all that detrimental. Spacecraft knowledge can be learned and cohesion can be gained. Don't write us off just yet.
Sure. I wouldn't call it optimism, though. I just think a disparate bunch of people with their own sets of skills can be a pretty powerful asset as long as there's some coordination.
[well. waking up and looking at this notification. she's horrified, but too in shock to be sad just yet.]
It really happened. And Dahut, too. What is this?

I don't understand... He was right there. [ looking around... ] Did we all pass out?
