[Hi barge, someone looks grumpy today. Probably has to do with the fact that he's apparently been asleep for over two weeks.]

For the record? I'm blaming space. And the fact that we're in a ship that doesn't work by any version of logic piloted by a guy who, let's face it, doesn't actually know how to sail a multidimensional spaceship. You could put a monkey in a hat and he'd be a better Admiral than this guy. Because. Uh. Comas don't just happen out of the blue, and who knows what kind of alien radiation we're all getting hit with. [... Yeah he's just really annoyed about this.

Still, he's just kind of rubbing a hand against his temple and the side of his head for a second, brow furrowed, before gesturing vaguely at the communicator.] So what have I missed, who's gone and who's new and how many crash landings did I sleep through?

[Private to the Assvengers]

Apparently comas contagious, so prolonged exposure to Captain Beauty Sleep should be monitored. [Tony speak for "Hey guys I'm back you totally missed me don't even lie."] Who's killed who and tell me no one touched the helmet.

[Private to Charles]

I want to start a barge robotics club. [Hi, sorry for worrying you, still alive, hope you didn't do anything weird with my body in the meantime. Not that I'd blame you because uh, perfect male specimen right here.]

That sounds like something a person couldn't protect themselves from, not easily anyway.

Surely, if there were protections against such things, they'd be used on a modern vessel like this.

[voice]

[aggravating]

Yeah, we have issues with radiation. [Which is probably the understatement of the year.] And you're kind of running on the assumption that this ship makes any amount of sense. Which it doesn't. The walls are filled with peanut butter and the communicators run on string and paperclips. So uh, not really putting my money on "futuristic radiation protection" being a part of the vacation package.

[je_suis_avec_toi]

Aren't there people who've been here a long time? Wouldn't they know?

[voice]

[aggravating]

Mm, yes and no. Sure, there are people who've been here for years, but I'm pretty sure most of them lost it around month three. That and they're not geniuses.

So, uh, gonna trust my own experience with things like logic and basic scientific facts.

[And he was doing so well with not flaunting his ego everywhere]

[voice]

[je_suis_avec_toi]

Lost it? Do you mean their minds? I've seen many types of attitudes on board, but not so many I'd call insane.

You have experience with this radiation?
