Quark I'm really sorry but I can't come to work today because I'm stuck on the Sub Fleet and someone was shooting at us and we can't turn around or we won't make it to Terabel!

I'm really sorry!

Uh, did you mean to spam the whole network with that?

[What he didn't have much to do until they landed shut up.]

[dreamermoa]

Huh? What does spam mean?

[It's ok, Axl. Wait, why aren't you freaking out about the shooting? Moa is freaking out about the shooting! WHY ISNT EVERYONE FREAKING OUT.]

Did I do something bad to it?!

[gunholic]

Send it to everybody and not just Quark. It's not bad unless you don't like people in your business.

[He paused and then grinned slyly.]

How's the space battle treating you? I'm bored.

[Well it's not like him getting out and going pew pew at the pirates is gonna do anything. He didn't have anything that big on him.]

[dreamermoa]

Oh...[She doesn't totally get it still - although now that she thinks of it, she does know how to send a private message - but anyway WHAT DID YOU JUST SAW AXL.]

Bored?! People are shooting at us! [Moa is not bored.]

[gunholic]

So? Not much we can do about it yet. Kinda wish I'd gotten certified on ride armors now, it sucks waiting for the sitting duck to let you off.

[dreamermoa]

That doesn't make it boring...[She slumps down further, because maybe if she's small she won't get hit by the giant pirate cannons?]

Does this happen to you a lot, or something?

[gunholic]

Kinda? Not much the space battle part, but definitely the getting shot at part.

[norefunds]

Shooting at you? Why were you on the Sub Fleet anyway?

[video]

[dreamermoa]

They're space pirates! I wanted to see what all the fuss was about!

[(looking a teeny bit guilty. Maybe she shouldn't've gone on a joyride with the Sub Fleet, oops.)]

Re: [video]

[norefunds]

More space pirates... [This place seemed to attract them like moths to a flame.]

The 'fuss' is generally stealing and maiming innocent bystanders, so I'd really recommend you don't check it out!

[dreamermoa]

[She slumps down a bit, worried about the aforementioned space pirates and guilty about getting stuck.]

Are there space pirates everywhere? First there were those guys at Sharef, and now this is happening...

[norefunds]

Wherever there's something to be stolen around here at least. [Quark shrugs. Personally, he finds that method of making money rather tacky.]

Don't get killed. I don't want to have to put out another call for employees. [He warns with a little grin.]

[dreamermoa]

[Stealing isn't challenging enough for Quark, he wants to get filthy rich using finesse. (Please teach her all about getting filthy rich Quark.)

So, is he concerned for her safety because they're friends or because she's an employee? She's pretty fond of him, frankly, but she knows that she attaches herself like a leech to people and that not everyone does the same back to her. Also, he has a lot of sharp teeth. That's a little unsettling.]

Okay...[UNSURE. Well, she's going to assume that they are buddies and that's why, because it makes her happy so there. YOLO Moa does what she wants.]

...can I make myself safer somehow? Is there a safer spot?

[norefunds]

How should I know? You're the one who's actually there. [Quark replies, unable to see much through the screen but her worried face.]

Just don't get involved in any fighting, all right?

[dreamermoa]

I don't know, maybe there's a secret spot in every spaceship that's the safest place on it? [She was kinda hoping for that. Or maybe just that there would be...a cheat code to get off the ride or something I don't even know. SHE WANTS TO GET OFF MR. BONES' WILD RIDE.]

Okay. I'm sorry I'm stuck and can't come to work.
