Comments the freshly banned helmsman to herself. She's hanging in an oldfashioned biowire rig, body stretched between the stalactite and stalagmite of dull purplish-grey tentacles devouring her limbs. She's wearing a jagged grin, eyes hidden behind a macgyvered headset cobbled together from at least three separate salvaged sets. A pinkish glow pulses steadily behind the mismatched lenses, pushing her ship onwards as she waits for her results. @candidGunner
You're idly browsing the net when you get an alert on the helm network that you've stayed active on out of nostalgia's sake. You mentally tab over to the network, and start reading, grin getting ever-wider. Is this shit for real? Who gives a fuck! It'll be fun, at least. Dolios registers your-our amusement and turns around to look at you-us from where they-we are curled up on the opposite end of the couch. You-we grin, and they-us settle back down. candidGunner [CG] has begun trolling defiantCircuits [DC] !
