Ship’s Routine

As per the list of Argyle’s Data Blobs there are movies in blobs #13 and #56.  Anything in particular he’d like to watch?

Projects

There’s no evidence from the data blobs that anyone other than Argyle works on the projects themselves, though obviously much of the source material comes from elsewhere.  

Watch

At the start of his next watch at BR01 on 211.398, he notes that a message has been uploaded to his PubNet mailbox.  As the ship is now in N-space, it can receive periodic uploads from the Net.

Oliver, my son.  I’ve wondered and worried.  Thank you for your message, however brief.  I would love you to correspond more.  Clearly something happened, and I am here if you wish to discuss it, or simply here otherwise, and I hope it’s resolved.  What sort of business are you in? 

I always enjoyed my time on Zargonia, with its more evolved eco-system it’s more interesting biologically than here.  Though I found the countryside more interesting than the cities, for that I prefer our home here.  I hope you will take the time to get out and about.

As to how I’ve been, I was saddened when you left suddenly and took some time off, but have returned to work and the practice is once again going well, and is even expanding somewhat as the physician who filled in for me during my break and I are now working closely together and have been able to extend the Legion Clinic into a part-time RSHP, which keeps me busy and with a wider variety of cases.

I have forwarded your message to your Mother.  She is currently on a temporary deployment in Octant 3, based out of Captree.  

I hope that you are well, and that all is well around you.  Are you still based on Four-Two?  

I would love to talk more, and hear from you again.

Hello Father, I’m heading to Zargonia on business. How have you been? How goes the practice? Hope you are well, Oliver.

    Father, It’s something that is most likely best discussed in person. If that time comes, I am not sure if I will be at liberty or have the capacity to speak of the details.
    Know that I am well. I have been picked up by the Vizierate and I am working as a contractor. It’s easiest to say I am helping analyse data and be an adviser on how to apply it practically.
    Unfortunately, I am travelling around a lot. I’m off to Pristine for now and I not know when I return at this stage.
    When I am back on Russell’s World, I will make time to see you.
    I’m sorry that I have been distant, but I want you to know that I am always doing what I believe is the right thing at the time.

    Thank you for sending my message to Mother, though I sent one similar to her as well.

    Things are well and I am mostly being taken care of by my employers.

    I shall do my best to maintain correspondence.

    It’s good to hear from you.

    Oliver.

    That’s the draft, would Oliver know how content checking for messages works in the dominion? He isn’t trying to hide anything or sneak messages through but he’d rather not send a message with information that is technically classified.
