engineers: (wash your hands)

I wonder if there's a drawing function on this communication device?
If not, we'll have to change that! It might be useful - a map is a smart idea. At least until we can figure out how to get it to scan the area and generate one based on imaging, but drawing is a start.
It is a bit eerie, but maybe the place has been reestablished for human contact only recently - if so, one has to wonder what happened to make it this way in the first place.
It could be anything, but I think you're right; I doubt it was just a pleasant vacation.

And you, lieutenant, have got a deal. :)

As for the drive, that sounds pretty similar to our technology, so I wouldn't be surprised. There are mapped transfer points all over the universe that our ships and mechs are able to jump and warp through, some more difficult than others. It's a bit like the old Ancient Earth game, whack a mole? Where ships can come popping in and out sometimes. Haha!
It's even similar with the sickness. This is so interesting - maybe our universes are even more parallel than we thought!

And that is just fascinating. So that must have been you, is that right? Did you know you wanted to be an Astrogator from the start? And it's amazing to imagine such a large ship. So many of our mechs are piloted one to two at a time, but a whole fleet can be controlled by one person if he's powerful enough mentally and physically. I know someone who can wipe out a fleet in a minute with his neural network. It's incredible!

You'll have to tell me about your crew, as well! It sounds really lively. :)
And 140 - she must be a very pretty lady!
Haha.
I'm only 30! Still a young and vibrant young man with a lifetime ahead of me, to say the least.
Adulthood is just stretched out, if that makes sense. We grow and mature around the same as ancient Earth humans, and then stay that way for a while.

I see, I see!
An interconnected world of independent places... I definitely see what you mean.
You're right, about an inefficient military in that regard, too; that's interesting. It's a place where maybe we are only just learning to catch up with you.

I live in the Eighth Galaxy. It's a place full of character, the last galaxy at the edge of our universe - vibrant and loud and lively. A little bit of a slum, but that's okay.
Most recently, it also became independent from our Union - it's a good change.
The people there are good people. I recently even built a house there!

That's very kind of you. I hope so, even if it's a little by the seat of my pants, right now.
And they'll be alright. I don't really have a second, per se, but those little chicks have grown up quite a bit. I think they'll be happy to have some time free of the nest.
Besides, there are plenty of others around who watch after them the way I have; they're under the watchful eye of their training corps with the Silver Ten anyhow.
I feel like I could talk your ear off, at this rate! Or type it, at least.
