[ well, this is a pleasant change from the distressing exchanges he's had as of late. "buggy ass tech" makes him laugh. must be hard to be a spaceman in a retro world. ]
first you pretend you didn't sign up for the date now you pretend you didn't mean to text 💔💔💔💔💔 buuuuut my messages have also been going rogue today fyi
[ and this is p. tame by comparison, so he'll take it. ]
got all my moving parts in varying conditions yeah you? house hunting, captain?
[ he would say, "it could've been worse," but it really was worse for some people. of the olympia groups he spoke with afterwards, his own crew had been one of the more efficient, an achievement that he puts squarely on peggy for leading them well — with a dash of luck in the diverse skillsets and net experience of the team. and they still lost two hostages. ]
did you see the portraits of the refugees around the exhibition area? bloody unbelievable
[ as if that would mollify them after the shit they've seen on this planet. ]
Anyway. Jim tried his damnedest with his group, and he thinks they were about as good as they could have been, given the wildly varying levels of skill and experience - successful, but with a heavy cost no one seems to have been able to avoid. ]
Caught a few, yeah. The whole thing feels like gerbils being fed treats after an unpleasant experiment.
[ Eggys tends to give the Natha the benefit of the doubt, if only because they fulfilled his requests so readily at the the start of his time here, but their behaviour as of late has been confusing at best. ]
you get a lot of aliens like the orbiters in your travels, spaceman?

Dealing with him was an endurance test, mainly, there wasn't much we could go about being interfered with.
[ so there are others out there in the, uh, multiverse like them. it's good to confirm that the natha aren't really gods or some shit, especially with the religious stuff voss has been saying about the refugees. ]
guess he wasn't as selective as the natha are with their involvement then what was he after?
[ Q was after a way to harness Jim's improbable ability to Make Shit Work to avert the End Of Everything and they ended up superpowering an already overpowered god-being.
So uh ]
Meddling. We're like toys to entities like that. He got bored eventually, and let me tell you, the admiralty fucking looooved the report I had to send in about it.
[ Spoilers no they didn't and half the reports Jim sends back end up in a file marked Obvious Fiction. ]

[ He'd have to, like, understand money better, probably. ]
You're right, though, what an awful date I've been. How can I make it up to you? Is to too soon for a 'dinner or blowjob' joke?
Glad to hear you're alright by the way. That was an ordeal.
