“I’ve seen plenty of other crews. I’ve witnessed their group dynamics. I know there’s as many assholes as asteroids out here in space, but my job is to just make sure the Savvies are well-treated. And respected for being the crew members they are—”

“Who here has said different about him? You’re freaked ‘bout the ‘Jones’

poster on his door? Moire did that. When she and Brogan were playing out some weird Aliens sex-game scenario. Her Ripley, him … whoever Ripley had the jones for in one of the sequels, the one where she’s got no hair. The doctor dude, I think.

Those two, they get weird, play their games, and the rest of us ignore them until they’re actually on the rocks out there. But remember how everyone on the first mining ship ended up dying, while Ripley was out looking for the cat? That ball of fur was crew to them. Like he—” Sloan jerked one thumb in the direction of the Navigation room “—is to us. We act stupid, but we aren’t retards—everyone here is aware of what he ‘does’ on the ship. You might drive your car for a hundred thousand miles and never blow a tire, but you’d be nuts not to have a spare in the trunk. He’s a spare that watches a lot of movies. In his cabin.

First Sabriah, now Sloan. God, I was getting so tired of being harangued by these people, I wanted to hole up in my own cabin, and cover my ears with earphones, too. I’d dealt with some obnoxious crews before, but these people seemed to have issues with me, as a person. Everyone else had tried to steer clear of me, considering my status as a government-sent social worker, but these people—

“—an accelerator … one loop is larger, the other … one third as big. Put together like a snowman—”

Dalton’s voice was far less hesitant than normal, while Kevan’s was gushier than before as he said, “That’s the Tevatron accelerator … and the spot where the protons and antiprotons are produced sticks out from where the ‘neck’ would be like—” I entered the room just in time to see Kevan miming what looked like a necktie against his neck, while the monkey twins watched in bemusement as Dalton puzzled out Kevan’s charade, then said, “Like a scarf, only with a small circle on the end.”

Moire actually smiled when he said that, and side-stepped closer to where Dalton was standing.
