It has been quite the few days, hasn't it been, Vatheon? That conversation appearing on the network --just who had posted that, anyway?-- the experiment and then the collapse of the bubble and the evacuation. It certainly kept everybody's hands quite busy and full. But now that things are looking at little more calm, with far fewer trips needed to ferry things from down in the bubble up to the island, Station Master makes his move, abandoning his post to seek out people. Who? Well, just about anyone. He seems to avoid groups, instead seeking out people while they are alone, whether wrapped up in some activity, or moving from on place to the other. His purpose? Unclear for now, but if you are a foreigner and you are on the island, you may very well find yourself with a sudden Station Master at your side.

How will you respond?

[Dirk's been on his own plenty, recently, just as he is now, fiddling with a number of small pieces of robot. When the Station Master draws near, he glances up, and eventually puts down the part and the wrench he's been fiddling with.]

What?

Hello, Mr Strider. If it is not too much trouble, could I have a few moments of your time?

[Dirk sets it aside, and turns to face the Station mater fully.]

Shoot.

If it is all right with you, I would like to discuss the current state of the bubble.

Let me ask you a question: do you believe it is unfixable?

Well, I really fucking doubt we have the tools to fix it, considering how amazingly fucking awful current attempts turned out.

What if I told you we did.

[Dirk stares, one eyebrow raised.]

If you did, I'd be asking where it was and how it can be done.

[He shakes his head a little.]

I cannot tell you that, not right now. A meeting has been planned for all of those interested in fixing the damage. There I'll be able to answer your questions.

[If he hadn't already been interested, Dirk certainly would be now.]

When and where?

Friday evening at ten o'clock. Are you familiar with the storage building closest to the elevator?
