So this is what you guys warned me about, huh. [Someone seems kind of put out. And maybe a tiny bit shaken. And bruised, but she's ignoring that. She's got a guitar in her lap, but she's just holding it there, not playing.]

I don't get how you can just - shoot someone and--

No, sorry, we don't need more of that. [She leans forward and fiddles at the computer, and in the background Pocket Fulla Sunshine is now playing quietly. Then she leans back in her chair again, hands on the guitar.]

I painted my dog's nails to this, once. Best waste of a Saturday night ever. [But she shakes her head a little, waving a hand.] I'd serenade you guys, if I knew anything serenade worthy...You know, I could seriously use some Starbucks right now, and I know, I'm dating my generation really hideously with that but sometimes a mocha frappe really brightens a day. Or a week. Especially one like this has been.

Did you know they make alcoholic whip cream? It tastes kind of like bad maple syrup. ....Which I know only through hearsay, of course, I mean obviously. [Have a look that is totally innocent but also says lol not really.] I wonder if there's any in the pub. I bet that in some coffee would be a great pick-me-up.

[She starts strumming the guitar. Nothing really magical, just a chord or two or three in no particular order.] So do new people come in every month? I mean, it's starting to seem like that, but Jesus, how have we not hit overcrowding yet?

[Private to Heero]

Did you come through okay?

[Private to the Admiral]

Can I have a pair of those safari vest things,and giant nets? ...And one safari hat.

Fine. [He's only sort of lying.] You?

I have a conversation with Heero you might want to listen to. I know you probably have a lot in his file, and you might know about most of this, but if you don't I think you should.

And don't tell him that I passed it on. I'm just... it's for his own good.

You okay there, Olive...?

[And just what are you talkin' about shootin' people for...You're making someone awfully nervous. Just what happened anyway?]

[Have a video of Hayley totally not in her own room, though it's hard to tell that it's actually Crane's room unless you know what it looks like.]

I know what you mean, about missing Starbucks. The coffee here just isn't the same.

Oh, and yeah, we get new people pretty much every month, but we also lose people a lot. I think the Barge might expand to fit them too? We used to only have like, six floors or something and fifteen rooms per floor. It hasn't gotten any larger for a really long time, though, so I don't know if it will ever grow again.

Ain't that big a deal, bein' shot. Don't hurt as people'll tell you it does. [This is all he got from any of this.:|]

Don't be so hard on Cooper. He was trying to help people like you out.

I'd recommend keeping a calendar. Certain things will start to make sense. We get new people each month just like something usually happens the first week of each month.

As for the overload thing, you have me there. I guess the same way the food gets restocked each month without stopping at a port, or how we arrive here. Some things just can't be explained.
