I'm gonna go for a quick run
Being on space stations is all well and good fun. And work. And people. Most of whom you like. And snacks. God, space snacks are the best, half the time the Aliens who bring them are like:
"We read this may be poisonous to Huma
They never get a chance to finish that sentence before I grab whatever it is and munch it down. Pretty much every time it's real spicy or oddly invigorating, it's a nice pastime learning what everyone's shocked expressions look like. Okay, I've had to go to the clinic a few times, and one time I was in a coma for two weeks, but I'm still alive and kicking!
There is the downside of all the noise when everyone talks. The translator unit does dampen to almost nothing everything it translates, but my left ear is sensitive so I tend to take that unit off whenever I'm off the clock. Let me tell you, when everyone is used to hearing everything in their tongue at normal volumes, many end up developing a much louder natural voice.
It gets real confusing sometimes. One thing I have begun to notice is the accents - everyone has very distinct ones. The translator normally renders in a neutral tone, and only adds a slight tinge for the more culturally prominent accents so people understand they are from a different major section of their respective race. But without it, there's so much to each language. At this point I can recognize twenty different clicking sounds that are the same word for this one species.
However, the cafeteria is a hellhole. A radio emitting white noise in a blender that's being microwaved is a peaceful and melodic tune compared to the mixture of thousands of every conceivable noise an organic creature could make. And many more I thought they couldn't - what kind of nightmare anatomy makes a sound that I can only describe as a sickly polystyrene foam mule getting squeezed in a rusty vice.
What kind of ears think that sounds okay?
What kind of noise do they make when making l
actually I don't wanna think about that
I'm just...
gonna go for a run now.

Several minutes later.
Among the friendly chatter and typical gossip you find at lunch hour, people started hearing a rhythmic thumping sound regularly coming and going. After the third round, someone decided to investigate and opened their pad to tap into the public camera system. Switching from one to another, they suddenly screamed and dropped their device in shock.
It was Human Hanson. He was in his protective suit. Running in laps.
Around the OUTSIDE of the station!

My own leaky canine just reminded me in his own way that there is now a dog traveling with Clone Force 99—a big one that I'm conservatively putting at about 200 kilos—who could at any point during a hyperspace journey perform her own stealth maneuver and make everyone on board want to jump into the nearest escape pod.

Dating Gunther B Gunnerson Hcs
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH STUFF ABOUT THIS MAN HELP, SO I AM HERE TO DELIVER TO ALL THE OTHER FANS 🙏🏻.
Gunther is secretly a huge romantic. He loves romance novels, romantic comedies, and all things lovey-dovey. He might not show it, but he's got a mushball inside him.
Gunther has a pet cat named Mr. Whiskers. He adores his cat and loves to spoil him with toys and treats. He's also prone to talking to Mr. Whiskers as if he's a person, and will often tell him about his problems and struggles.
Gunther is a great cook. He loves trying new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen. He's a master of the art of grilling, and can cook up a mean steak.
Gunther loves watching space-themed movies and documentaries. He's a total nerd for all things space-related, and loves learning about the cosmos. He's also prone to getting excited about the newest discoveries and innovations in the field of astronomy.
Gunther loves animals, especially dogs. He's always happy to pet a furry friend, and will never hesitate to stop and play with a playful pup.
Gunther's a good listener. He's always willing to offer a sympathetic ear and some support to those in need, and will never dismiss someone's feelings or struggles. He's the kind of guy who will always be there for you, whether you need a shoulder to cry on or just want someone to listen.
Gunther loves his ship, the Invincible II. He's proud of it and takes great care of it. He's always happy to talk about its many features and upgrades, and will often spend hours working on repairs or maintenance.
Gunther might be a tough and rugged space cadet, but inside he's still a sentimental sap. He loves his friends and crewmates from the Invincible II, and would do anything for them. He's the type of guy who puts others before himself, and will always lend a helping hand to someone in need.
Gunther is prone to getting into mischief. He might be a bit of a troublemaker at times, but he's always quick to apologize and own up to his mistakes. He's not afraid to make a fool of himself, and will often be the first to laugh at his own jokes.
Gunther's a total goofball.
Despite his tough exterior, Gunther is a huge softie. He's a total sucker for cuddles, hugs, and sweet nothings. He's always quick to offer a gentle touch, a kind word, or a soothing hug when you need it most.
Gunther's always looking for a good adventure. He loves exploring new places, solving puzzles, and facing challenges head-on. He's always up for a good dare, and will never hesitate to take on the impossible.
Gunther's a total nerd. He's a master at video games, and can often be found spending hours in front of the computer, gaming away. He's also a huge sci-fi fan, and can often be found talking about the latest movies and TV shows.
Gunther's a true friend. He's the kind of guy who will always have your back, no matter what. He's loyal, trustworthy, and always there when you need a friend. He's the kind of guy who will always offer a supportive word, a sympathetic ear, or a helping hand, no questions asked.
