A Pound of (Sandworm) Flesh

[oshitari_yuushi]

While unsure of how the journey itself will go, I'm somewhat looking forward to the expedition to the planet's ocean. Once a viable route is found, perhaps we can dive below the surface on further trips.

Speaking of below the surface, the lab is running tragically low on fresh sandworm samples. If either team comes across a recently deceased member of the species, we'd be grateful if you managed to collect a sizeable amount.

I can get you a dead sandworm. How much you need?

[oshitari_yuushi]

Our storage is limited but a good ten pounds or so of fresh meat would be appreciated.

... Out of curiosity, Lt. Commander, how do you intend to get it?

[byodoin]

Sending the brat out for it now.

[oshitari_yuushi]

The... brat?

Is this a drone...?

[byodoin]

My subordinate officer. The feral one.

[oshitari_yuushi]

Oh good lord. Is he going to fight a sandworm?

He's going to fight a sandworm, isn't he?

[kin_chan]

TEHY ARE SUPER EASY TO FIGHT OKEY!!!! dun wory!!! cox once u get thru the skin u just RIP THEM APART LIKE pAPER with ur hands easy easy u cud do it too i bet

[oshitari_yuushi]

Ah. Unfortunately Mr Tooyama, I'm far too weak to fight a sandworm with my bare hands. I'd much rather leave it to someone as strong as yourself.

[kin_chan]

NO NO cox ill kil it first OKEY??? and then i can show u how to RIP IT APART wit ur hands to show u that its super easy okey??? like a LOAF OF BREAD ripppp

[oshitari_yuushi]

Fascinating. And how will you kill it, Tooyama?

[byodoin]

Yup.

[oshitari_yuushi]

I will trust that you know what's safest for your... feral child, Lt. Commander.

I'm grateful for your promptness in responding to my needs.

I'll come by when I next have a break.

Re: Uion☆

[oshitari_yuushi]

I look forward to it.

[worldofice]

Have you considered switching teams?

[oshitari_yuushi]

I don't see why I should...?

[worldofice]

You're about to go into a barely habitable location with an individual too cowardly to tolerate a 10 minute medical check for the safety of his crew. You should switch teams and take Hiyoshi with you.

[ooc: this is concern, Yuushi!]

[oshitari_yuushi]

While I'm sure Officer Hiyoshi is perfectly capable, I'm certain there's no one on my team who wants to actively jeopardise the mission?

[worldofice]

Refusing to have a basic health check suggests a complete disregard for safety, and thus, a danger.

Refusing to have a basic health check means I don't like or trust medical doctors.

Re: Uion☆

[worldofice]

It means you consider the well being of your crew to be less important than your personal likes and dislikes.

It also means you should stop talking to myself.

[oshitari_yuushi]

I'm sure Mr Uion whoever he is is hardly carrying a deathly illness.

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

[worldofice]

The place to discover this is in medical bay. Not in a location far from help where a minor ailment can cause the loss of a team.

[oshitari_yuushi]

If it comes to it, I'm sure one of the pilots will be able to come retrieve us quickly.

[worldofice]

If it were that straightforward, a team of 3 would be utterly unnecessary. We could all walk the surface alone, safe in the knowledge that help would always be able to reach us quickly. However, there are dangers and a 10 minute medical to ensure the team itself is not one of those dangers is hardly an over precaution.

Wishing you all the best on your expedition, Dr. Oshitari.

Please let me know if I can assist with anything. Unfortunately I will be available via comms throughout your journey and can provide emergency support.

Thank you, Yanagi.

And here I thought I would have to suffer two weeks without your voice in my ear. My relief is infinite.

[spacewillow]

You are welcome.

I look forward to your mission reports.
