[Well, it would seem that someone is finally sounding in. Took him long enough, especially considering that he seems to be using his sleeping back as a blanket, with a cup of something steaming in his hands. He sniffles.]

How did this happen, I never get sick. Bah...

Everyone should avoid my shack, maybe, I am contagious. It is probably that... whatever that is going around. Though if you happen to have soup I would not mind so much if you stopped by.

holy tits i lost the notif

[cec_engineer]

Ahh, I try to stay away from them. Nothing personal, just not really used to them being that big or sentient.

[he wouldn't even feel it if fang bit him through the suit. what luck.]

Animals aren't really... big on space stations. It's nice seeing one that's friendly.

[gtfostalker]

Neither am I. But I remember that some of them, they are not so bad. And even if they are big, we can hurt them if they try to hurt us.

[Being able to defend yourself against monsters is a surprising comfort.]

I am not surprised. Even if the station is the size of a city, there is not enough room for animals. And heh. I have tried. He is still a wolf at heart, though.

[cec_engineer]

It's all you can really hope for in a place like this, right?

[gtfostalker]

It is. It is not such a bad thing to know, either. That even if they try to hurt us we can take them apart.

Or at least shoot their eyes out.

[cec_engineer]

I'd rather it not come to anything like that.

[he knows strelok was joking, but... he's been hunted and in trouble for far too long.

shakes the line of thought off and goes back to fussing over fang.] Most of them seem nice enough.

[gtfostalker]

The same. The ones I have met have been nice enough, save for one. But sometimes, we have to just do what we must.

[Strelok only wishes he was joking. He's gotten accustomed to things being bad. Hunting and being hunted is a way of life for him.

Fang on the other hand could not give a hoot about the conversation. His tail whips back and forth and he leans up to lick Isaac's helmet. Enjoy the mutant slobber! Strelok looks at the pseudodog wryly.] Fang.

[cec_engineer]

Which one?

[:c everything is terrible, they have something to bond over.

isaac smiles behind his helmet.] Don't worry about him, it's fine.

[gtfostalker]

His name was Starscream, I think. A scrawny creature with slender legs. He seemed about ready to kill me so I shot him in the eye.

[Terrible is a way of life for raggedy guys from Science Fiction Hells, really 8(

Strelok chuckles and waves his hand.] I worry more about what pseudodog slobber might do to your suit.

[cec_engineer]

Huh. One of the Decepticons, right?

[he's been wary of decepticons, after being told they'd probably step on him. then again, he doesn't exactly ask "which one are you?" to every cybertronian.]

What, is it acidic? This suit can take more than you'd expect.

[gtfostalker]

I think so. Honestly, I do not pay much attention. It is like the difference between Freedom and Duty; they stand for different things but there are good guys and asses in both.

[Even if one is predominantly good guys and the other is predominantly asses. Judging by symbols or colors just isn't Strelok's thing.]

Heh, not from what I know. Then again, very few stalkers have been licked by pseudodogs and lived to tell the tale. But I would hate for Fang's friendliness to rust your suit.

[cec_engineer]

True. I try not to judge by the symbol, but it's hard when back home there's a ... certain one that means that person will more than likely either try to convert you to their batshit religion or murder you. Fun times.

[isaac snorts lightly.] It's a mass produced one, so won't be hard to fix. I am an engineer, after all.

Well, that and I need to stop wearing it so damn much.

[gtfostalker]

Now they sound like assholes. Like Monolith. Those sort of people... those you shoot on sight before they can do it to you.

[Screw those crazy people man they totally suck.]

It is not meant for continual wear, eh?
