You can't rush onto the station. Rover17 and I have to negotiate how you will work here.

Why wasn't
this set up in advance?

Good question. Why didn't you guys set this up in advance?

An emergency occurred. Normally, we would have kept working at the nuclear pulse facility. This situation was not anticipated.

I answered my own question.

And that is a positive example of circular logic.

We also need to find a place where these guys can stay and set up their dream machines and charging stations.

I thought of that. I brought blueprints of our tritium production reactor and purification process.

Why?

To put on the walls. Something to remind us of home and make the place more cozy.

Oh. Good idea.

I'm going to set up a meeting between the union and management so we can get these guys working. You need to get to the maintenance shop and accept that job.

Should we
leave these
guys without supervision?

I'm in charge?

It will be a learning experience. Hopefully one that stays contained to just this ship.

You came for the job?

Sam made some good points. I shouldn't let this opportunity pass by.

Whew! What did you roll in before coming here?

Ah. I took a shower on the ship. I'll run to the apartment and take another shower.

No time, we're about to close up. We can fix this.

Hearing “We can fix this” rarely reduces my desire to run.

Toss a rag in a plastic bag, hit it with a generous dose of degre­aser, and you're good to go.

It's stronger than your smell and it's associated with the maintenance shop.

Ms. Ambrose. Have
you decided to work with us?

Thank you.

I'm a mother. This isn't the first time I've had to cover up a stink in short order.
