Which one of you would make soap out of bacon be honest please.

Well, now that he knows this is something that is possible to do, that ‘would’ is more of a ‘will’.

Anyway it’s Harvey.

Hello all,

I have something planned. Something rather exciting… to me, at least. I just need to work a few more things out.

Stay tuned.

are any of you in love, or have been in love?

Myself? Not right now. I’ve had crushes before, but I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been “in love.”

I’m still working through the formatting for these posts, so bear with me if things are inconsistent…

—Harvey—

Oh, plenty of times! I’ve had a few partners over the years! Never for very long, unfortunately. I’m always a bit too busy with work for folks back home. But that’s okay, I kinda like dating around.

Umm… no?

I’m currently seeing someone actually!!! We’ve been together for… I think almost four years now! They work in the Medical department here, so we get to see each other a whole lot. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

alptom. alptom what is the black hole incident. is it as simple as "there was one" or.

You know how rules tend to be written in blood? Well, there’s now a rule that forbids using wormholes to try and “see the inside of a black hole”. Didn’t think we needed to spell that one out… The astronomy wing is still undergoing minor repairs.

whats the most dangerous experiment you've ever seen?

Well, I guess that depends how you would define ‘seen’ and ‘experiment’, but…

The most dangerous official project that I’ve personally had to deal with the consequences of is a toss up between the epidemiologist who nearby released a deadly, heavily mutated species-wide virus into the ship’s atmosphere and the Black Hole Incident from back in 2032.

Also, just a reminder that I’ll be taking on all unaddressed asks as a default. If you want to talk to someone on the team directly, make sure you ask!

whats your favourite food, each of you? and drink? is there a reason why?

Due to the nature of this question, I think I’m going to have to limit this one to myself and Harvey—he’s the only other participant who regularly eats Earth food besides myself. He’s a big fan of human culture.

As for myself, I’d say my favorite food would be baklava. My dad used to make it for me when I was a kid. Drink wise, I’ll go with coffee.

I’ll pass this off to Harvey now. Since it’s just him, I’ll let him type himself.

Howdy! Harv here :) I’m a big fish kinda guy, we got a lotta similar “sea critters” back at home. so I think I’d say my favorite earth food is crab! I also really like those little fruity drinks you get at bars. My species has a really high alcohol tolerance so they’re just like normal drinks for me! 🍸

what does a day off look like for you, alptom?

It’s not much different, honestly? I live on site, so usually I just end up working anyways somehow, mostly helping others around the lab or tinkering with my own projects. Sometimes I go down to Earth to take a walk, on special occasions I’ll visit some family. I do like visiting other planets too, but leaving the lab in general can get a bit risky.

I have some other things I do when I’m bored, but I don’t exactly have a “typical” day off very often. Not that I can’t, of course, I just like working! Everything I do here (all my personal lab work at least) is a passion project. I genuinely enjoy working on it.
