She turned back to him again, wiped her eyes and shook her head as she tried to shake all this off. It was distressing to hear about something you could have only dreamed about, was still so far away.    “No, I’m sorry... I should have known that there was going to be more delays.     I guess I got my hopes up too damn high, and I’ve always told myself to stop      doing that. It’s hard to explain, Samuels, but... try to imagine being abandoned     by your mother who promised to be back for your eleventh birthday. To some     long mission in space, where you thought she just left you for good, and to find     out the ship had exploded out there?? Not only did it seem convenient something     horrific as an accident happening, but to a young girl it almost seemed like it was     the excuse for the entire crew to just leave everything behind... Probably saw     something on some planet, and went off to be pirates... I’m... I guess I’m just     glad to see my childhood imagination was all something not real... It took too     many years, but the flight recorder will tell me everything. I’m sure of it...” And it better be that it was some crazy accident in space with some asteroid, I swear. | @officiium​ |

    “...So... about three days?? I mean, I understand the complications of     running a big ship and all, but come on! It’s not that hard to get someone     else to bring that recording to Sevastopol... Don’t they realize that this is     important? Not just because of my own personal reasons, but this was     the first time Weyland Corporation even had one of their big ships destroyed...!” She took a breath, needing to calm herself down from all the stress that just so suddenly burst from her throat in a rush of all those words. Turns away from Samuels, arms folding tightly across her chest as she tried to keep herself together here.     “Whatever, it’ll come. Then, I can get off this trash heap.” | @officiium​ |

Amanda let out a sigh, her head was killing her with a headache, and as she took something for it her attention was turned towards the door that opened. She had been spending her time trying to figure out the layouts of this station, and just waiting for the coming ship. Which all of this was too aggravating to deal with, and it was getting to her slowly. The waiting, the not knowing if she made the right choice in coming here. Nods to Samuels as he asked, and her mood shifted a little when she heard of something new?     “Yea? What is it, Samuels?” | @officiium​ |

Amanda’s jaw tightened as she listened to this synthetic go on and on, and it was all to mock her very real dreams. Though, all of this is more like a nightmare... So, she waved him off and turned away with an aggravated sigh.     “You know, I’m surprised the Joe’s are even trying to strangle       one that is similar to their own. Though, I guess I can’t really talk,       since everyone human here is trying to fend for themselves...       I saw a few people shooting at others, including me, so.       This place is hell, and I guess what you’re saying is that       we do need to work together, right?” Looks at him, again, and she hates herself for this... Absolutely does not trust him whatsoever, but she gave him a spare wrench that she found lying about earlier in the hour.        “Then here. We’re going to need to hack into anything we can,          if we’re to get past this damn door. We’ll face whatever is on          the other side, when it comes to that.” | @curiousitiies​ |
