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.

[clandestinity]

you don't think de vries has many admirers?

[agyieus]

i'm sure he does. and that he knows all about showing off for them.

[clandestinity]

you should follow his lead.

[agyieus]

i show off a lot. you weren't paying attention?

[clandestinity]

do you think i pay that much attention to you?

[agyieus]

i figured it was at least a little.

[clandestinity]

i haven't noticed you preening the way de vries does.

[philiip]

Lim, I'm not admired for my fighting ability outside of the cockpit.

[clandestinity]

no, but you're admired for those good looks of yours. i think you have a civic duty to show some skin. it's for morale.

[philiip]

Whose morale, exactly?

[clandestinity]

you know everyone aboard fancies you to some degree.

[philiip]

And imagine disappointing all those people in one potentially bloody afternoon.

[clandestinity]

fight me. play your cards right and i might go easy on you, handsome.
