Yes b and yes it's what haspen said if i remember.

[hermes]

B.

I assumed it was a pun on hato and heartful.  It's a romance game, right?

[monk12]

Oh, if you're wondering, "hatoful" is the Japanese pronunciation of either the wasei eigo word "heartful" or "hurtful", chosen both for this double meaning and for the fact that it starts with hato (Japanese for pigeon).

Real update tomorrow morning me-time

B! Pick B! It's not like drifting around in the same place consumes any fuel, plus we get to watch meteorites impact stuff. That's always fun.

Plus, we really shouldn't Jump too often. Bad for the everything, probably. With an engine as creepy as that, how could it not be?

B) "Let's stay to watch the impact! Who knows, we might get some interesting data from the collision on the planet, and it's not like we're under some harsh time limit, anyways."

B: Watch the event, laugh maniacally during the impact moment.

	"I think we should stick around for the impact too. How many people can say that they saw something as cool as this?"
	"What? You're siding with them, Ciel?"
	</3
	((What's gotten into Kalani?))
	"That's enough. I am the Captain, and the final decision is mine. We will make our second Astral Jump as soon as the engine has recharged."
	"Captain, I must protest. Our mission parameters incorporate ample time to take advantage of unique scientific opportunities, such as the one currently presented us."
	"Ha! The Captain knows what I know; a couple sterile balls of rock bumping into one another isn't an opportunity, it's a distraction from our true mission!"
	"I disagree. Our mission is to advance the collective knowledge of the people of Earth by whatever avenues present themselves. Willfully ignoring such a-"
	"Enough! I have made my decision. Mr. Young, Mr. Lammert, prepare your probes. Perhaps we will have the time to recover them ourselves on the return trip."
	"...Very well, Captain."
	"The rest of you are dismissed. We will Jump shortly after 2400 hours tomorrow. Prepare yourselves accordingly."

Jan 18- I met everyone! Yay!
Jan 19- First Astral Jump at 0800. Freaky! 0815 Ken gave me an egg, and I chose to work with Kalani in the Lab because I approve of his work. At 1330 I took lunch in the Common Room with the Captain, and didn't say anything. At 1900 there was a debate about whether to leave Tau Ceti quickly or stick around for an asteroid impact, and I voted for the impact. Not that it mattered, since the Captain said we'd leave immediately anyway.

Did I say tomorrow morning? I meant tomorrow midafternoon. Yeah...

C! Gotta get to know everyone, after all. We haven't directly spoken to Sigmund at all in our stay here.

Who?

If we do that, we won't be able to joke about how we're not sure who someone is!

D

[Empiricist]

D. Might as well learn more about the engines.

[TCM]

I'd just like to inform everyone that the trinket in Ciel's possession is a buttplug.

[GreatWyrmGold]

...Wha?

[monk12]

Aw nuts, come in to update the thread and find a tie; 2 votes for C, 2 for D. Who will cast the deciding vote and/or start a run on a third option? WE SHALL SEE

In the meantime, have some pigeons in space.

[Sirus]

Go with D!

[Haspen]

Go with C I say :O

[escaped lurker]

C - let's say hello to Mr. Grumpy Perfectionist

((I think I'll talk with Sigmund. Actually, I don't remember seeing him leave the Bridge.))

	"Hey, uh, Mr. Lammert. I didn't think you'd still be on the Bridge. I thought you'd have gone to the lab to get those probes ready."
	"Not yet, Ms. Robins. I must first refine our projections of the asteroid's path so that our probes may be placed in the optimal positions to record data."
	"Oh. You seem to be pretty calm, considering the Captain sided with Kalani instead of you."
	"He is the Captain. As he said, the decision is his to make, and I will not sow dissension by going against him after his intentions have been made clear."
	"Even if you think he's wrong? Isn't your job as first mate to question the captain when the need arises?"
	"In private, perhaps, but it would be a fruitless endeavor when he is committed to a course of action. I offered my advice, and he rejected it."
	"That's what I don't understand. Kalani is the only bird on board who thought we should Jump immediately. Why ignore the rest of the crew?"
	"Indeed, I no more predicted that the Captain would side with a simple kiwi than I predicted that you would support my argument."
	"You didn't think I'd side with you?"
	"Mr. Young is a disrespectful, divisive influence on this ship. He does not like me, and he hides this fact from nobirdie. You have spent more time with him than any other bird. It would be natural for you to adopt his prejudices."
	"Hey, I'm my own person! Just because we work together doesn't mean I have to agree with everything he says!"
	"Interesting. So tell me, what is your opinion of Mr. Young?"
	"How do I feel about Kalani? I..."

You should tell Sigmund...

A)	"I don't know. I hardly know him; I hardly know any of you!"
B)	"I like him. He's smart, and has a sense of humor. He's better than you give him credit for."
C)	"I don't like him. He's obnoxious and argumentative. We're not really friends."
D)	Other (please specify)
