004 ☺ Video ☺ You're always telling me what to do, I just can't seem to get rid of you

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a few safety reminders for leaving the Barge. First of all, of course, don't go out alone. Always bring someone with you in case you get into trouble and need help – or in case they do. Reminder two, keep your communicator with you at all times. Reminder three, be very considerate of any local creatures and-or people and only approach them peacefully. We're on their territory, and we should respect them. Reminder four, don't take anything from outside. It's only right to leave the area as undisturbed as possible. [Yes, he beams as he says it, and fully expects everyone to comply with his rules.]

Reminder five, have fun! The ocean floor can be kind of scary, but it's also a beautiful place.

After being stuck in Zero for so long I think you kids could really use a little time to stretch your legs and explore. What do you say to a swim around outside? As long as we all stick together I don't think we'll have any problems.

When you talk to me I want to kill myself.

Because you're a schmuck.

And I'm a schmuck because I...? Go a little deeper.

That's what she said.

[Hostility and disrespect toward authority, probably projection due to a feeling of helplessness and depression. Sarcasm as a coping mechanism. It just makes Mark feel worse for the poor kid.]

Let's stick to your feelings for now, okay?

[mistconduct]

My feelings that I hate your annoying voice and everything you say is bullshit? Okay.

[moreincommon]

Right. But somehow, I don't think I'm your biggest concern right now.

[mistconduct]

No, you're just a blip on the shit radar. But I"m in down time mode right now.

[moreincommon]

So you're taking a break from being angry about other things.

[mistconduct]

Yes. Most of those things are off swimming around the fucking ship, so downtime.

Is this what you usually do when you're bored? Talk to people you don't like?

[mistconduct]

I'd talk to people I do like but the list is pretty fucking short.
