I wander around and fix a few more things. Come to think of it, now that I'm thinking about leaving, there's kind of a *lot* wrong with the ship that I never got around to doing.
Ah, but I know if I start thinking like that, I'll never leave. There's always something to work on with this ship.
I guess I can just give a list of things that should be maintained. Maybe a list of grievances too. On second thought just the maintenance list. I'm pretty sure the list of grievances counts as 'disrespect' and the boss doesn't like that much. Or is it worse if I just leave without anything? I'll just leave a note saying I can't work on the ship anymore, and that's kind of true. In a mental sense.
I'll leave the note where they'll find it after awhile, but I don't want them to know I've left until after I'm gone. They won't like that one bit but they won't like me leaving one bit anyway.
>Why are there prisoners?
I uh, don't really know. Like many people on the ship, the guards don't like curiosity inquiries. I don't know if it's legal, but dock laws are weird. It's not like we're a prisoner transport - the crew is just a regular cargo crew - but, well, like a lot of the things on the ship, if it's not mechanical, I try not to worry about it.
>Rig the ship to fail on the way out
I don't hate them! They just... aren't great to be around.
>Broadcast any illegal stuff they're doing
Actually just in case they do follow me I bet it'd be good if I could, er, blackmail them. Maybe. I'm not good with that. Maybe Pond would help me. Uh... ahhh that's a big thought but if I gather up the evidence on the ship then it probably wouldn't hurt! As long as I'm not found out. Which if I'm found out then I'm in trouble anyway so I'll just do it!
Yeah I'll just go up to Pond and say 'hey we barely met but do know anything about blackmail' that'll...
No, I really shouldn't talk myself out of this by being sarcastic.
I take pictures from the crawlspaces of all the weird, unlabeled cargo, and take a whole lot of digital conversation logs that I'm pretty sure are supposed to be secure and private but aren't, and get on out of here.
I really, really hope I'm not making a big mistake, but the best thing about being a non-employed employee is that I don't have a reputation that'll follow me, so in theory the worst case is that I just have to lay low for a little while and then look for a real job.
Maybe this was inevitable and maybe I should've done this a long time ago. I've definitely thought about it, but when I think about the past, it's... always kind of been this way.
I stare at the airlock for awhile before going to open it.
