**May Then My Name:** Also, hi. Good evening. Have you had a good day?
**Douglas:** That was also boring as hell. I keep going for walks or trying to read or whatever, but there's only so much here to keep myself interested when I based most of my life on my job.

**May Then My Name:** You said it, not me.

**Douglas:** Sure, why not. My first meeting is in the afternoon, tomorrow, and it's just a weekly safety briefing. Talk my ear off! I could use the distraction.

**Douglas:** Oh, sure.
**Douglas:** There were two big ones and one small one. You heard the small one, which was that tech knocking me off the edge of the torus. The other techs out there with us tackled him and tied him up in his own tether to bring him back into the station. One of them suggested just ripping off his suit there, but it was a reaction out of anger, and it's hard to stay angry out in space, so they did the right thing.

**Douglas:** He was brought inside, taped to a chair (there used to be a security station for when the torus was a hotel, but it was repurposed at some point), and then confined to quarters until the next shuttle could come pick him up.
**May Then My Name:** How did he even get in there to begin with?
**Douglas:** As far as I could tell, just lying really well. It was his second EVA, so there wasn't exactly much time to suss out if there was anything up with him.
**Douglas:** As far as I could tell, just lying really well, or perhaps it really was just a spur of the moment act as he argued in court. It was his second EVA, so there wasn't exactly much time to suss out if there was anything up with him.
**Douglas:** It's weird, though. You have to have an MSf to even do EVAs here, and even just getting into that program, not to mention getting a job out here, requires a lot of psychological testing and the like. He must have been pretty good at lying.

**May Then My Name:** Well, alright. How were they caught?
**Douglas:** That's the weird thing. They turned themselves in. The cloth bomb had been in place for about a month, I guess, and they grew a conscience in that time, so they brought security over, admitted to what they'd done, defused the bomb, and let themself be sent back planet-side.

**Douglas:** Which actually brings me to the other big sabotage attempt. Apparently, they were working with a collective who were really unhappy with the launch overall, so there was also a suicide bombing at a launch facility during a tour which I guess was intended to take out the control room before it could be used for the next supply run.
