Cassit spends a small chunk of time each day or so sneaking into
off-planet communications and listening in on them for kicks. What does
she hear?
HELMAIO6:
 [The request is being processed.]
 [Your patience is appreciated.]
HELMAIO6:
 [Unable to comply.]
HELMAIO6:
 [Unable to comply.]
HELMAIO6:
 [Unable to comply.]
HELMAIO6:
 [Data for "Your cod damned install date I need the cod damned fucking
 install date" not found.]
CASSIT:
 [seriousNimbus has opened a secure line to helmAIO6]
 Boop
HELMAIO6:
 [Please state the nature of your request.]
CASSIT:
 Whatcha talking about?
HELMAIO6:
 [Please state the nature of your request.]
CASSIT:
 Fine fine official request for communication with the helm of a
 non-sensitive nature because the operator is bored.
HELMAIO6:
 [Your request has been granted.]
CASSIT:
 What's the helm even doing?
HELMAIO6:
 [HelmAIO6 responsible for powering Alternian Interstellar Outpost 6.]
 [Awaiting maintenance.]
CASSIT:
 What's the outpost need maintenance on? Heck what's a stationary
 outpost doing with a helm. If they park it right they can do solar for
 sweeps.
HELMAIO6:
 [Query not recognized. Rephrase?]
CASSIT:
 The power consumption for your grubdamn station can't possibly be high
 enough to rate having a whole helm to run it.
HELMAIO6:
 [Unable to locate query. Rephrase?]
CASSIT:
 Why does a middle of nowhere outpost rate a helm for power, solar
 should be more than adequate?
HELMAIO6:
 [Authorization required.]
CASSIT:
 Okay, what's all broken and whatnot on the station?
HELMAIO6:
 [Authorization required.]
CASSIT:
 What's even so important about a dipstick rural outpost that this is
 all restricted
CASSIT:
 wait don't answer
CASSIT:
 Authorization required, right?
HELMAIO6:
 [Do you require anything else?]
CASSIT:
 Oh come on usually you guys are a little fun to talk to
CASSIT:
 What's a girl gotta do, poke your nose or something?
HELMAIO6:
 [Request not recognized.]
HELMAIO6:
 [Recreational pursuits not sanctioned at this level of helm
 efficiency.]
CASSIT:
 Oh man, did they just farm out a janky helm to a station to screw with
 someone?
HELMAIO6:
 [The Alternian government does not condone the improper care of
 equipment for purposes of petty retribution.]
CASSIT:
 Doesn't mean it doesn't happen~
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 [aardwolfsTabifaction has been added to the group.]
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 Hell6, dearie, can I help y6u with s6mething?
CASSIT:
 Depends on what you can do for a bored operator
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 N9t much, I'm afraid! I'm very s6rry, sweetiegrub
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 Have you tried s6litaire? I heard it is an excellent time-waster for
 l6nely tr6lls :)
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 The AI w6uld have a far m6re interactive UI!
CASSIT:
 Yeah but eavesdropping is usually more fun
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 Aw! I see we have an aspiring member of Alternian Intelligence on our
 fronds!
CASSIT:
 If that's the best you can come up with you've gotta be just as bored
 as me~
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 Constructive and clever! You're a credit to the empire, little one,
 though I think you'd best use those talents wisely! I wouldn't want to
 see you get in trouble :(
AARDWOLFSTABIFACTION:
 (That'd be y6ur cue t6 leave, sugarpie! Now.)
