I like it.  Once the upload is finished, we'll get underway then." he walked over to the shoreline, and dipped his hand into the water.  Moments later, a stream of water was dowsing the fire, putting it out with ease.  "There we go.  Why would I want to modify a Vickie?  Well, to be perfectly honest with you, tinkering with technology is a hobby of mine.  My home planet is relatively advanced technology wise, but we lack a lot of resources to build and perfect it. Rather than build new technology, we modify old technology and re-tool it to new purposes.  When I suggested some ideas I had for improving the Vickies, they gave me permission to test out my ideas on this one." A moment later, he realized that he didn't even know the name of the officer he was talking to, and she didn't know his either.<br/>"Oh. Come to to think of it, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Joe Shimokita and I've been in Orpheus for a short while now. How about you, what's your name and how long have you been with Orpheus, if you don't mind my asking?"
