3. Unexpected assignments

[sws_mizuki]

 Well... I suppose this is a good opportunity to assess safety measures on planetary excursions. Understandably, a degree of risk is necessary, but procedures can be streamlined or simplified to reduce human error while out in the field. We shall have to see.

Looking forward to working with you, Dr. Yukimura and Mr. Oshitari. 

It's been a while since I climbed a mountain, but I'm sure I still have it in me.

I hope you have a safe journey.

[sws_mizuki]

Thank you, Dr. Tachibana. I heard you developed a sort of candy for hydration? Would it be possible for you to make some for us, or for us to learn how to make them?

[wildlionchef]

I can make them!

[sws_mizuki]

That would be a huge help! Please allow me to assist.

[wildlionchef]

Sure thing! They aren't super hard to make!

[sws_mizuki]

Just let me know when!

[wildlionchef]

Whenever you're free, I can make time!

[sws_mizuki]

How about tomorrow afternoon?

[wildlionchef]

Sounds good!

[byodoin]

Good luck.

[sws_mizuki]

Thank you.

If your that worried about safety, than have security do a quick trainning for you

[sws_mizuki]

You know, that's a good idea! I do have basic firearms training, but surely the security staff here are more experienced with this planet's dangers.

[kirihara_akaya]

This is the kind of thing I did for years. Of course I'm going too have good ideas for it

[sws_mizuki]

Really? Where were you stationed?

[kirihara_akaya]

I don't remeember. That was other peoples job to now

[sws_mizuki]

How do you not remember where you were working?

[kirihara_akaya]

Theirs a few different things I did that I don't rememeber

[sws_mizuki]

That sounds very concerning. Do you have lapses in memory often?

[kirihara_akaya]

Sometimes its better and sometimes its not. Its why I don't say nothing about having to see the doctor so much and why I drink his juices

[sws_mizuki]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[chickens]

Are you going to awaken your inner mountain goat?

How much have you camped?

[sws_mizuki]

I grew up on a mountain, after all.

... not much.

[chickens]

Can you yodel like a lonely goatherd?

How much weight do you think you could comfortably carry on your back for 2 weeks?

[sws_mizuki]

I can sing opera, does that count?

... I have not tried this.

[chickens]

I'll count it. Favourite opera piece to sing?

Come down to Engineering at some point and we'll test it.

[sws_mizuki]

Oh my, I can't choose~ In general I like Puccini and Bellini arias.

What are you making? I will be down shortly.

[chickens]

Classics.

I'm thinking about how to actually give you somewhere to sleep under cover while you hike a mountain.

[sws_mizuki]

They're classics for a reason.

Oh, that's very considerate of you. I thought we'd have to sleep sheltered behind rocks or something. We'd have to carry food, water, and the tower, so that's something to think about. I wondered if perhaps a drone could carry things for us, but we were warned of high winds.

[chickens]

Fits one person only though. So keep it to yourself.

Yeah, I don't want to risk one of my drones. Let's get your carrying ability and I'll brainstorm from there.

[sws_mizuki]

... you do realise this post is public?

All right, let's get it over and done with.

[chickens]

No as in, let them all see, but only you can use it.

I have high expectations of you because I know how much weight I can carry.

[sws_mizuki]

That... doesn't seem nice.

What does that mean?!
