Right? If we can't actually go outside, this is the next best thing.

Takes some of the edge off the whole cold-void-of-space thing, anyway. The cabin fever must have been rough up here before they invented things like this.
Haha, I don't even want to think about it. One day of being trapped in the bay was enough, never mind our future of being stuck on this ship for a week without any outdoors.
There's definitely a big difference between staying inside because you feel like it and staying inside because you're not allowed to leave.

[help.
he nods.]
And it sounds like we'll be arriving at the next destination in a week, so hopefully we can get some real air then.

Hm... maybe? I don't think most other planets even have air, but I guess these places must be able to sustain life somehow if they're sending out delivery orders.
I'll be honest, I'm completely out of my league here so I'll take your word for it.

That's about the extent of my space knowledge, to be honest. Kind of seems like they could have done better as far as choosing a crew for this.
...
You're right, why did they recruit a bunch of people inexperienced with space for a space crew? Isabel and Margaret are the only ones I've met who're right at home.

Right? There are even kids and a huge shark guy. Unless this is supposed to be a slapstick comedy sketch, I don't really know what they were going for here.
[internally, charles wonders what a slapstick comedy sketch is supposed to be, but he can guess from context....]
Well... if nothing else, Sidon's a friendly guy, and the kids seem smart—but it is pretty messed up.

The whole thing's still so shady, too. I mean, not a single person remembers signing those contracts??
Tell me about it... Baiken talked about the possibility of someone else like an unhelpful acquaintance or an enemy signing our names for us, but I don't know how much I believe in that theory yet.
[hard to say one way or another.]
D'you think there's anything that would get you to sign, in theory?

...Yeah, probably. But if I don't remember getting it, then this is a total ripoff.

Well, allegedly the pay is coming at the end?
