The Colony Pod
Seeing that we haven't built a recreation commons yet, I would like to suggest the food and beverage storage facilities in our colony pod as the temporary place to exchange spam and comments that don't fit in any other thread.

So this is the humble beginnings of all things. I have to admit it is a little crowded. Oh sorry, didn't mean to hit you in the head.
Also I do not see any rec commons being built in the near future either. You know in the future, there will be rec commons that looks like colony pods will be in fashion again, although it would probably last for a month.

/me moves slowly away from Tassadar.
Since both my offices are built, I think I'll go for a kip somewhere with air-conditioning

You really don't want to know... anyhow, I think I'll follow Drogue's for now, although I'll see if I can coerce bully badger persuade some workers to install temporary air-conditioning in here.
EDIT: btw Drogue, how exactly do you pronounce your name? I've neve rbeen able to properly figure that out.

Hercules pops in, has a look around and plants bugging device under counter while comrades shuffle about in the cramped space and examine holophotos of female hiverians to decide who looks like Tass the most. And plants another bug in a place not disclosed. As always a good place for idle gossip.

I am not sure how to spell phonetically. Drogue is one syllable, with a long 'O' as in 'no'. It rhymes with pogue, as in the pogues (a band if you've heard of them).
It is a long sound. Take 'frog'. Then change the f to make 'drog', pronounced the same. Now lengthen the o, and lengthen/soften the g. That basically gets to Drogue.

Tassadar, your mother stayed on Earth. She loved the planet, and had even been elected President of the evil, capitalistic United States. I left her after that...
Her name? Hillary Clinton.

I think I'd be more likely to put a small camera into an air conditioning unit... but then I wouldn't put that into an office

Comrade Googlie wanders in, looks around and thinks gee, this is a bit cramped
Pulls out Morgan Industries pamphlet "Everything you wanted to know about a Colony Pod" and turns to page flavor.txt and reads:
#COLONY MODULE
Complement: 1000+
Composition: Prefab plastic
Hydroponics rating: indef.
Armament: Sidearms only
Armor: Passive (Applique)
We've been ripped off again by those capitalist money grubbers he mutters. This place can't hold more than about 50
Snorting with derision he turns and shuffles out.
