[OoC: takes place during this]

Ring ring!

I have a patient coming to medbay with an illness that affects her mind as well as her body. She's reported symptoms such as nightmares. I could use your help in finding treatments for that side of it. Can you meet us here?

(ooc: backdated to during her conversation with Malenia)

Herwì? Pela’ang?! Tsengpe...

[a few minutes later]

Kehe, kehe, Oe fitsenge omum

[About a minute after that]

KEHE! Oe zene kä ne’ìm

Hey, bud. Look, if you want to go through that Door, you're more than welcome, but please leave your weapons here on the Station. Try to stay inside the building you show up in, no one there will harm you. If they do, they will have a Queen's wrath, are you okay with that?

[Usually, if it's purposely done, there is a lead in, an announcement of sorts. But this time there wasn't the CB picked cut in partially in the middle of the song when the four individuals involved have their hands full. And it's just far enough away that it barely picks up the woman singing. Unless the voice is known it would be hard to tell which of the players it is.]

[Steven's having a Billy Joel day, playing a few albums on his record player while he's tidying up some of his books, and his phone decides to broadcast him singing along to this one. He's really quite good, too. And has no idea that his phone is being an arse.]

Hello Sirius,

I missed a lot of school! I hope that I will catch up. My father says that I have to write to you and tell you 'I'm back'. I traveled to the station’s future, and met Liberty’s baby and my little brother, and saw people here when they are old. But now I am back, and I’m glad because it was nice but not right.

Do you know, there is a funny video on my phone of my daddy singing, and lots of silly photographs, but he has taken my phone from me now so do not use it, write to me here, and tell me what I must study for Spanish.

Hey. Guess what? My little Philip is back.

(His cadence while singing changes as the lyrics go along)

There's a voice
That keeps on calling Dean
Down the road
Where Dean always seems to be
And every stop Dean makes
Dean sees Dean's old friend
It ain't long 'till Dean gets spun round and Dean is gone again.

Maybe Tomorrow
Dean's whole world'll settle down.
But it ain't tomorrow,
So Dean keeps movin' on.

Dean's down a road,
That never seems to end,
Full of track-lines and rails
And lies around each bend.

So if you're gonna join Dean, for a while
Better grab your hatch, you know Dean lives like that, kinda hobo style.

Maybe Tomorrow
Dean'll wanna settle down.
It ain't tomorrow,
So this old world's still Dean's home.

Dean's got Dean's own world waitin' to unfold.
In a ziplock bag where Dean can drag out this worn-down soul.

Dean's made it through so far so Dean knows it won't be long.
Dean must be almost there, Dean already paid Dean's fare with this hobo song.

Maybe Tomorrow;
Dean's God will help Dean settle down.

But it ain't Tomorrow so Dean guesses Dean'll keep moving on...

[There was a shuffle of fabric over the mic, and a little thump, as if a well placed kick little had turned on the CB. It was followed by some silence, but pretty soon a muffled voice, not too distorted not to be heard. There was sincerity in the words, and a little bit of a smile at appropriate times.]

You know Mommy loves you right? Mommy loves you when you make right decision, and Mommy loves you when you make the wrong decision. Mommy loves you on your good days, and Mommy loves you on your bad days too. Mommy loves you when you're happy, and excited, and smiley, and Mommy loves you when you are grumpy, and angry or sad. There is truly nothing in any universe that would ever make Mommy not love you, in fact I not only love you, but I like you. I like who you are! I love listening to the things you have to say. I love spending time with you. I love being around you. Mommy made her mind up about you the day you were born, and there is nothing you could ever do to change the way I feel about you. I'm so proud of you. All of you.

[There was some audible sniffles, before more shuffled fabric against the mic, and the CB cut off.]

Hello Young Mr Hamilton. I'm told you're interested in working for me... Would you like to discuss it?

( Text to Steven )

Hey. So, those of you who only know me as a nine year old won't know that at some point down the line, my love of music and my love of poetry naturally came together into a love of writing songs. Um... okay, so this is something I wrote a little while ago, but uh... I don't know, I was thinking of it again lately, just with coming back here and... well, enjoy.

[Philip then performs this song.]
