So board games are all well and good — I ain't got a thing against 'em — but what this ship really needs is a way to play some honest to God competitive sports. And when I say competitive sports, I mean baseball. I'd settle for basketball in a pinch, but baseball's the great American pastime for a reason.

Might just be I’m getting to that stage where I'm starting to climb the walls from not being able to do much of anything. Not that Saldanha Bay was exactly a thrill ride, but at least you could stretch your legs without bumping into bulkheads.

Anyway. If any of y'all can figure out a way to play baseball in space, I'll owe you one so big it'll have interest on it.

I feel like the hangars are the best bet, but I don't know if Doss and the squad leaders would ever go for it.

[murphyy]

shouldn’t’ve made this so public. sometimes it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.

[jinking]

Have you met Doss and company? I don't think that floats with that crowd.

[murphyy]

you’ve got a face that could pull off “didn’t know i was doing nothing wrong, sir.”

[jinking]

My voice would give me away real quick. I’m not much of a liar.

[murphyy]

we can work on that.

[jinking]

What, like fibbing lessons?

[agueyegrey]

And a mustache that pulls off a completely different vibe, unfortunately.

[murphyy]

mustache or not, i don’t think anybody’s mistaking him for anything but what he is.

[agueyegrey]

I'd call it situational. Put a pizza box in his hands and that mustache is winning.

[jinking]

Wait. What's the matter with my mustache?

[agueyegrey]

Nothing's the matter with it! You've got a sterling second career waiting for you if this freedom fighting stuff doesn't pan out.

[philiip]

Is that what you feel?

[jinking]

No. I mean — I wasn’t trying to put words in your mouth, sir.

[philiip]

You seem to have an abundance of energy, Fox, and limited options as to what to do about it.

[jinking]

This is the longest I’ve been stuck somewhere. Not that I’m at all sore about being here, to be clear.

[philiip]

It's good that you're being clear, else I'd worry you think we're not sending you out enough.

[murphyy]

feels like that’s most people here, de vries.

[philiip]

Don't think wars are meant to be comfortable, Murphy.

[backdrive]

If you put a baseball through your plane's windshield we are NOT fixing it!

[jinking]

Not even if I say pretty please?

[backdrive]

No. You've been forewarned.

[jinking]

That's cruel, Sefi.

Sefi.

[jinking]

Does my mustache have some kind of prurient implication? Do I need to shave? I was just trying to look more mature.

Sox.

[backdrive]

OMG no! It makes you look like Clark Gable.
