Day Three

Filed under: Uncategorized — owencreature @ 11:06 am

Today’s part of bio had us climbing the outside of the building on harnesses. The building is twenty stories tall. I’m in good shape and my nanites enhance endurance, but still. Fuck.

We did it as a team, though, which was cool. Knowing someone’s secrets doesn’t get you that much closer to them, but helping them traverse a window on the fourteenth floor sure does.

We also had a bit of training today. That’s by profession, not group, so I was with the rest of the enviro folks.

We’ll be living off of the other stations for twelve weeks. After that we’re meant to be self-sufficient. It’ll be a challenge – the other stations have all taken fourteen weeks or more – but we’ve got better tech and lots of resources. Our head of enviro, Sigmar Ernst, is a bit of a hardass but he knows his stuff, and he’s gonna be up there working as hard as us.

For psych today they blindfolded each of us in turn and had another from our group guide us out of a maze that kept changing. Raghuraman and Yadira were good, and Claire and I did our best to keep up. I accidentally ran Yadira into a wall at one point, and she’s been giving me grief about it all day.

I’m sure she’ll get the chance to run me into something tomorrow.
