Mission: Forgotten Wounds

You guys! She's leaving! The Italian Meatball is rolling out of the Arcadia! We're saved!
-- I wonder why she is leaving?
---- Maybe she finally got fired!
---- Maybe her broomstick finally got fixed
---- I heard that she's going back undercover
-- [*This message has been removed for violating Starfleet standards*]
-- We need to celebrate
- - - - Totally! But we got cleaned out on Tuesday - TJ just couldn’t help himself from caving under pressure…
- - Are we sure this isn’t a trick? This feels like a trick…
- - I heard security found a load of illegal weapons in her quarters.
- - - - I heard it was all this black magic stuff. Knew there was a reason she always busted us and found all our stuff. Witchcraft!
-- Good! Maybe it's because she killed the Gary. I'm convinced.

Tonight's vigil for the 'Find The Gary' campaign has been postponed due to a Betazoid Chicken Pox outbreak.
-- Yeah... Thanks Carrie
-- @CarrieThompsie, it's all your fault
- - Guys should we be worried if these spots turn green? Asking for a friend.
---- @BenjikVarinaz yes, you should be worried. It could be a sign of infection. I just StarGoogled it and WebMD says it's deadly!

ISO a fourth for a doubles tennis match.
-- I'm free

Are you an avid poker player? We have two seats that have just become available at our table. Join us, Thursdays at 2030 near bunks 12-18. Telepaths and Card counters excluded.
-- this is Betazoidist!
- - Is that the one with the UNO reverse card?
- - - - no idiot, that’s UNO. This is the one where someone hits you. It’s very violent.
- - - - - - Guys we have a computer, maybe try using it?
-- Some people are morons! @SandraPollock, Uno!? Really!?

Has anyone met the new Captain yet? Thoughts?
-- Very engaging! He's great!
-- We have a new captain?
---- seriously? Start reading the ship wide notification
------ Oops, I turned them off because I was sick of seeing reminders about needing my vaccines
-------- Dude! Go get vaccinated. You're probably why we all got flu last week!
-- Not met him yet, but loads of Department Heads are leaving. #coinidence?
-- Seems like a sweetheart
-- Yeah, like anyone will post anything bad... Bet he reads this!

Has anyone else heard those noises behind the walls in the cargo bay? I swear something is in there!
-- Has anyone checked to see if it's the Gary? @AnitaHarris perhaps talk to engineering
-- Yes! I though it was going insane!
---- Well, you are insane anyway
---- [*This message has been removed for violating Starfleet standards*]
-- Someone in engineering said it was an issue with the ship's falangies
---- Ships don't have falangies
---- Falangies are fingers
---- Oh gawd, was this a Friends joke- that Earth sitcom from like the 1900's?
------ YES! Do you like Friends too?
------ A fellow fan! Let's do coffee!
------ Central Perk! But on the ship haha. See you at 10!

Thinking of starting a book club, anyone interested?
-- I've just found this book called a Court of Thorns and Roses, think it may be a law book. That said, I read 50 shades of grey and can confirm that it was not about the history of paint swatches!
---- yeah... You should probably not read that book thinking it's legal text book...
-- There's already a book club, you should join us! We're starting a classic on Monday!
- - - - Define classic?

New chief is a hugger! Recommendations for a new department to transfer to?
- - Medical. Hug free zone but with occasional flying objects…
- - Could try working in comms? Or engineering? Nah, would avoid engineering for a bit.
-- No department is safe! I swear he goes everywhere. He even hugged the meatball... And survived!
- - What’s wrong with hugs? We should hug more!
- - - - And lots of you need to shower more - seriously people! Personal hygiene is not a choice.


Looking for movie recommendations - just no horror. [Edited]
- - Muppet Christmas Carol.
- - - - I second this! best Christmas movie ever and so true to the original story.
- - - - - - No, Die Hard is best Xmas movie!
- - Ghostbusters!
- - Scream
- - - - They said no horror, can’t you read?!
- - - - - - It isn’t super scary tho, it’s like a 3 on the scare scale.
- - Do you like detective mysteries? There is like a million Sherlock Holmes movies available. All good choices.
- - - - Watched 50 shades of Grey movie as my friend was starting to read the book… avoid. It is not good. Like at all. And has nothing to do with the colour grey.

Is anyone else watching the Interstellar Olympics Opening Ceremony? It looks so cool!
- - Of course it's cool, it is being hosted on Andoria!
- - It looks incredible! Gonna take some effort to beat the Andorian's on their home turf but think we have a shot of some medals.
- - - - Not gonna happen!
- - - - - - Do Andorian's cry?
-- I can't believe that Kronos has a bobsled team!
---- but you're ok that they have an ice skating people?
------ What!?


Has anyone seen my scarf? It is yellow with little flowers on it? Swear it was sitting on my bunk but cannot find it anywhere.
-- I hung a scarf on the railings near bunk 6F as it was on the floor. It's very dirty, so I don't know what colour it is.

Can people please stop using Laundry Chute B? There has been a sign up there for 3 days saying it is out of service and now it is overflowing and nasty.

Does anyone know when the coffee place is reopening? Is it closed until Jynx comes back?
-- If I was her I'd stay away. That guy who owns it always disappears when there is a hint of danger to the ship and he gives me the creeps.
- - - - Totally. Not seen him for a while though.
- - I miss Jynx. Totally hopeless at getting your name right but she was always so happy.
- - - - Where did she go?
- - - - - - No idea.
-------- the meatball seemed to keep watch over her when in the Medbay #suspicious
---- To be fair, I think coffee places are supposed to get names wrong. Are you even in Star(fleet)bucks if they get your name right?
-- Anyone know if Jynx is single... Asking for a friend

Guys! The new Comms Chief that's replaced meatball is... Well... Silent. Super creepy!
-- I heard meatball trained her
---- Oh gawd! We're screwed!
---- We're all going to die!
---- @JJPorter, send word out to hide the Klingon ale! Maybe that loose panel under bunk 7F?
-- She seems a bit more relaxed though
---- Don't be so naïve! She trained under meatball
