Video, Monday Week 44

[The setting in behind Kaylee is fairly recognizable as the area right outside the ship. Which isn't surprising, as the smudge of grease on her face suggests she's very recently been pretty deep in a generator or engine.]

Alright, I ain't the only one who's been feelin' right discombobulated when they go on or off the ship the past coupla weeks, am I? Thought I might be comin' down with somethin' at first, but that's the only time I get all dizzy like. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing the ship's ever done I guess...

Maybe you're allergic to distortions in space-time.

[There's a brief pause.]

Or you're pregnant.

[She needs a moment after that last suggestion]

That ain't terribly likely, we've been mighty careful. 'Sides, it's only goin' on and off the ship.

[nodavinci]

Hey, it's an important variable to rule out.

[That or he's being a deliberate nuisance. Which, given this is a day that ends in "y", is not unlikely.]

How long's a couple of weeks? Ballpark it.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Two, maybe three? Long enough to be pretty sure it's just around the ship so probably not the other thing.

[nodavinci]

So a little after the power reserves went nova.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Yeah. Wouldn't be the first weird thing the ship's done.

[nodavinci]

Assuming it's not normal. The ship jumps between reality - it needs to have a way to keep its internal environment livable.

[Now she's thinking about it a bit more]

Could even be somethin' as simple as the gravity playin' up.

[nodavinci]

The good news is, we can test that possibility.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Sounds like a good place to start. Try the simple stuff before we worry about reality and all that.

[nodavinci]

Meet me up by the hatch tomorrow morning. We'll make a day of it.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Sounds like a plan.
