As the two headed back to their impromptu encampment of a portable stove, some folding chairs, and an open jeep, Anri looked at the ship and then at Osvald, who is boiling a broth of stew in a plain metal pot. Liman and Kakadu set down the grocery into an empty open crate by the small field kitchen, looking towards the ship.
"Are we not ready to depart yet, Osvald?", sitting down and sniffing at the broth which smells heavily of fish and herbs.
He shrugged, looking at the ship. "Afraid not. The repair person just left some time ago to who knows where.", stirring the stew. "Doesn't seem like we will leave within the week, by the look of it."
"You think she—or he? Correct me. You think our repair crew need help with technical matters?"
Osvald shrugged again, tasting the soup and adding a pinch of condiments. "Don't know. Didn't ask for it."
всегда верен"Walked out with a bundle of wires.", Osvald continued, motioning to Anri to add in the vegetables. "Not sure what happened, but they doesn't look like anyone did anything nice with them."
"Doesn't take a technical expert to see that whatever the Pate guy did with the wires and the component, it was bad."

-to Albert- Slipspace drives use micro black holes to open holes in spacetime, into slipstream space - in this world we perceive four dimensions, three of space and one of time, but slipspace has eleven dimensions. The rules of matter change there, so using slipspace we can travel faster than light without breaking physics as we know it.
The problem is, we are creatures made to exist in three spacial dimensions, but slipspace has over twice that many. So if you get sucked into the slip, well...

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp.""Huh.", Anri said as she put in several cloves of onion and garlic, then carrots and beans and potato. "And—Lars said we still got the ship? Bought it?"
"For some reason, yes.", Osvald answered, stirring in the stew. "That's how the mob came into us—he had the ship part, some of the—local crew stormed the place, got it back."
Anri looked up again at Osvald, staring incredulously. "Stormed the place?"
"Yep."
"And we aren't invited?"
"Yep."
"...Well, now at the very least, we should have the fund to get it repaired, don't we?"
"Mhm."
всегда веренSix: -to Nova- I take it this is something we should gather everyone up and hold a vote on, then.
-to Albert- Risks involved with interstellar travel. Beats time dilation, that's for sure.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp.""So why aren't we—Oh, wait. Right.", she commented while looking at the ship. "Its the capitalists, isn't it?", earning Anri a funny look from Osvald. "...Well—"
"I'm only saying that in jest—but, it is expensive.", putting in a potato into the pot. " Even these have relatively exorbitant price tags."
"We are in a space station, doc.", as he lifted his mouthpiece to taste the soup. "I don't think its that easy to move goods here, especially fresher produces and large, important materials."
"Reminds of you the—", Anri twirls her finger around in the air, snapping a finger. "Kaznan station, doesn't it?"
"Mhm.", Osvald nodded curtly.

No Name returns with a bowl of steamy soup and some plates, along with chopsticks for everyone present.
(@Team) No Name: There. Hope you like tomatoes and some garlic.
(@Asagi) No Name: And how do you envision this? For us to do what we always do?
(@Daniel) Nyaru: Same here. ~smirks~ You're an interesting one.~

@Asagi Albert: "Might be time to get out from under couch." -Taps hot ash onto the back of his left hand with his Cigarette- Albert: "Pain still there. Good."
