[For a short moment, Carol envies her new roommate. It's not a strong feeling, nor a lengthy one; Carol used to be jealous of everyone who had what she wanted, freedom and safety and peace of mind, but somewhere around the end of the world she decided that sort of thing was pointless. It's more a compliment than anything, now, acknowledging that she'd prefer to feel any way but how she does, and that anyone who can be excited about being stuck in a strange place is far stronger than she is.]

A bunch of things sounded worth seeing, but with these new people running the ship I thought maybe I should keep my head down instead of playing with the simulation room for the afternoon. [She pauses, unsure.] Or evening? I'm not sure how you tell time around here. [She spent a while getting used to the year-long day in Teleios, which should help her adjust, but still.] Maybe I missed the clocks.
