[A feminine voice, oddly neutral, sounds across the communication network at exactly midnight on Sunday of Week 63.]

[And look, there's even a timer showing on the viewscreens to help everyone keep track.]

[She's not sure she likes that phrasing]

Won't hurt the baby?

[outer_npcs]

[Most people who aren't essentially highly sophisticated computer programs probably don't like that phrasing, really.]

No. You already pass between the vessel's temporal field and that of the planet on a regular basis.

[There is a brief pause.]

You will experience the duration of your stay inside either field as real time.

[If she's already been going back and forth... Salvation hadn't said anything about it when she'd asked all manner of questions on the topic.]

Well that's gonna get the doc grumpin'.

[There's a brief pause. The AI is perplexed.]

It's not harmful.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

He's not gonna like his timeline gettin' all discombobulated.

Audio

[outer_npcs]

I believe you underestimate his ability to adapt to new situations.

Audio

[wrench_and_ruffles]

He's still gonna grump.

[Also water is wet.]

Audio

[outer_npcs]

That appears to be his natural state.

[Is the AI amused? The AI might be amused.]

Audio

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Well... yeah.

[Kaylee is definitely amused.]

Audio

[outer_npcs]

It may be necessary to find some way to cheer him up.

[She sounds very grave. If it's not deadpan humour, it should probably be terrifying.]

Audio

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Sounds like a challenge.

[She is totally up for a challenge]
