[ welp, this month sucks. it sucks worse than most months here have sucked, and she hasn't even run into any zombies ( real or in her head ) at all, so that's saying something. in the grand scheme of things, there aren't a ton of people locked up in their jump pods for some extra sleep time, it's not like the ship's crew was suddenly cut in half... but it sort of feels like it was. for her, anyway. as far as she sees it, the crew has been cut in half. Brendan, Brian, Tate, Hayley. she might not've been on the best terms with those second two, but still. the idea of them being trapped in there is fucking with her more than she likes to admit. there are others too, of course there are, but her mind keeps zooming back to the people she's gotten entirely too close to here, one way or another.

but.

that's why she's making a point to get in touch with everyone that's still awake before the month's over and they need to get back into the pods. because what if one of them is next? what if she's next? screw that.

so she texts Simon, convinces him that she's bored and the only remedy is hanging out in the holodeck with him, as per usual, watching as he tinkers with whatever it is that makes the holodeck ..holo. she's sprawled out in the center of the floor with a few stolen pillows from unoccupied rooms, staring up at the ceiling when she isn't tilting her head this way and that to see what he's come up with. but speaking of all that- ]

How'd you learn all this tech stuff anyway? I mean, I know you're into video games, but this isn't exactly learning how to take apart and rebuild your old Sega system, dude.
