Hey, so. Olive's gone. Maybe since port, I think. [Which is a bummer. They've been losing a lot of good people, lately.]

So... [This is unrelated, but. Just go with the segue, people.] If anyone's got, like, I don't know. Broken toasters or lights or whatever? I'm kinda running low on stuff to do to keep busy here, so. Let me know. Or one of the other maintenance guys, I guess.

[Private to Polly]

I found a book with some stuff about clacks towers - we call them telegraphs, sort of? I mean, our telegraphs aren't really exactly the same, but they're pretty close - so I should be able to put one together in a couple days. The thing is, I'm not sure how well it'll work here, I mean, I haven't been able to get a wi-fi signal the whole time I've been here.

[Private to Anya]

Hey. [............. you need to try a little harder than that, Pete.] Um, I know it sucks, when, you know. Stuff like this happens, but. If you want to - I don't know, do something, I'm kind of working on a project for Polly? If need something to do.

[Open Spam]

[It's weird, to complain about being bored in a place like the Barge. Really, no one should feel bored, because there's so much stuff that can happen without any warning at all, but Peter still finds himself wishing he had something more productive to do than just... sitting around.

Of course, that's not explicitly true. He's still spending a lot of time helping out in the infirmary, so he can be found there puttering around and tending to anyone who's still nursing injuries from last port, or a CTS session gone wrong or whatever. But what he's really been missing is having a project to work on, or even just stupid little things he used to do around the house when something needed fixing so they wouldn't have to pay someone to come out and do it for them. He's been spending more time in the Maintenance and Repair offices because if it, and can be found either there or in one of the common rooms or the lab tinkering away with different projects, including the clacks tower for Polly.]
