“What about EVAs? I’m all good for those, right? And heavy duty too?”
He just stares blankly at you. If he is impressed that someone as young as you has been certified for EVAs, then he is hiding it pretty well. After several moments have passed, he sighs, and looks away.
“If it was me, I’d take a week off, at least. Working outside, or even downstairs – the Gs, the exertion, the thin air – that’s no good for a heart that just had a bit of misfire. But it is your prerogative, and if the worse comes to pass, then it is your funeral.”
What an absolute jackass. You have debts to pay – and as far as you can tell, you’re more likely to die of delinquency then of a heart attack. That said, you do have enough saved up that you could take it easy for a few days without running into the red or having to ask for some … accommodation, which would come with costs of its own.
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> Follow the “doctors” orders, at least for this next shift. It is not glamorous, and it certainly doesn’t pay well, but report to the Recyclers for second shift anyway.
> Take the middle ground and work heavy-side on second shift. It is even less glamorous than sorting duty, but it pays better, and you at least get to work at your own pace. Sort of.
> You are going to clear your debts or die trying. Report to the Hangar for second shift and suit up.
As for my other quests: I’ve got the stuff planned out for the foreseeable future in The Graverobber’s Daughter, and I have rewritten the thread to my satisfaction, but unfortunately, I am not going to have the two to two and half hour blocks in my daily schedule that I typically need to write updates for the Quest, at least until mid-December. Rather than step away from QMing completely, I have decided to return to the Starsector-inspired world of Space Scrapper Quest, as had promised to do when that quest ended a little more than two years ago now. Unlike The Graverobber’s Daughter (and Collapsing, for that matter) I can keep the size and scope of this quest narrow enough that I can still run it.
