It seems that it is once again time for a periodic reminder of what behavior is acceptable where. Congratulations, everyone: it has been eight (8) months since my last post on this topic. A new record! However, let us not rest on our laurels, as I have recently borne witness to some of the most horrifying behavior yet.

Acceptable Library Behavior:
› Reading
› Quiet contemplation
› Listening to music
    › This insistence on Philip Glass over, say, Chopin continues to grate, but that is a topic for another time.
› Studying without narrating your thoughts aloud

Unacceptable Library Behavior:
› Eating fragrant foods
› Making out like a pair of schoolchildren
› Loudly humming to the aforementioned classical music, and in the wrong key
Clipping your toenails ‼️

You may be asking yourselves: "Niko, surely no one is clipping their toenails in the library. Why even add that?" I regret to inform you that I saw it with my own eyes (I will not name names), and that it is the worst thing I have personally witnessed since Shaq's album release party in 1993. (Did you know Shaq released an album? Now you do.)

It is a small ship. Let us try to be kind to one another! And, if at all possible, spare each other such unpleasant sights.

Oh haha probably not. I do have to look at it sometimes to make sure nothing's wrong with it though!

Usually it's fine! But sometimes there's leaks and stuff.

What's the worst leak you've had?

Oh, right before you two got here there was a big leak in the hydraulics in one of the Battlest hangars. That was a real pain! Mostly just because it's hard to move those planes without the hydraulic lifts working! But the fluid is also kind of [...] sticky is not the right word.

Thick? Slimy? Gummy?

It's thick and smooth and REALLY hard to get out of your clothes.

If everyone gets it on their clothes we will all have to go shirtless

Oh well I DON'T recommend that even if it would be kind of exciting to watch!

You're my top suspect if there's a sudden leak

But it was your idea.

I don't have any access to leaking things

Almost anything on this ship can leak.
