Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You can hope for a health amount." He smiled, it had been something his uncle had once said to him about his work load, unfortunately it had fallen on deaf ears and he suspected that he had overshot the health mark by miles. He knew she didn't mean anything by it, she was smart enough not to be blunt with everything she said. He welcomed the change of topic, talking about his work was going to induce some sort of heart attack or mental breakdown, either way it was about time to think of other things and put them behind them for a little. "Still though, you think someone from the committee naming some of these would do a little research. Its like the most famous ship or something, aside from all the space ones." He shrugged, happy that she knew a little about the ships from the old worlds. While he didn't really have any time for hobbies anymore he had once spent three days in the nautical museum down on Earth reading about each of the different ships on display. That was a very long time ago mind. "We'll there's always Halley's comet, its not quite the same as an iceberg because its not submerged in water but their both impossibly large chunks of ice that can punch through the hull of a ship." He laughed slightly. obviously they weren't going to hit Halley's comet, someone would have seen that coming it wasn't hard to miss.

He smiled, there was one point that they had both overlooked; this was Stratos, it didn't matter how safe something was supposed to be if you can cut corners and achieve similar results they would cleave the end right off. The human element was the real issue, but even he doubted that there would be a catastrophic breakdown in communications and shortcuts that would have lead to the passengers being put in danger. The shuttles in this sector had to be maintained on each of the planets they passed, surely someone would have spotted any issues there would have been. "I hear you but you could have got a job, I'd have paid you to look after James. You could have had your own desk and computer in my office, I'd have forwarded you his 'prayers' and you can decide if they merit a response. Sometimes he sends me things like: spent an hour barking at a dog, didn't bark back. How do you even respond to something like that?" He shook his head a little and sighed, sometimes he just needed to vent a little about his charge. He had accepted the contract thinking it was only his finances he would be managing, how wrong he had been. "Still, Qerus is nice around this time of year I hear. Monsoon season is over, I think." He grinned, forcing his feelings about James back into the dark place they belong in.

Lee exits the D.S.S wearing a white beard," Boy, that took forever, it felt like almost 6 months. Good think i had this beard to keep my face warm" Lee says as he takes off the fake beard and tosses it in the waste container. Lee looks at the sky it was already sunset. Lee felt tired after filling out form after form of Paper work to renew his star ship license. On his way back to the ship Lee decides to stop by the local tavern and grab a quick drink of his favorite non alcoholic beverage, Cosmic Root Beer.
