I saw Bryn again today. She was looking incredible as usual. Lately she's been walking around in her white Virgle smock which makes her look like a ghost. However, when she passes by the window and the starlight hits her blond hair it's like an angel is floating by. She's definitely still on the meds 'cause she just wanders aimlessly around the spaceship and whenever I try to talk to her she gets that far away look in her eyes.
Today I tried to explain to her that something funny was going on and she needed to hurry and snap out of it. She just kept mumbling "1 in 257,894 chance of survival and climbing..." and walked away.
Right after that, one of the other shipmates named Frank Bowman Jr. started talking to me all jittery like he drank too many Red Bulls. He asked me a bunch of questions about Major Kubrick and Stanley and work out routines and why the newer star wars movies were ever made and on and on.
At first I was glad to find someone who wasn't all zombie-like but he constantly looked over his shoulder and fidgeted with his watch until I started to get weirded out. I told him all his questions would be answered soon but now wasn't the right time. I find that calms people down who are on a bad trip. He nodded somberly and shook my hand with sincere appreciation.
When I returned to my room there was a notification on my computer screen that read like this:
:: - Mandatory meeting with Major Kubrick at 7:02 a.m. Be advised that your behavior is under review. Please make the necessary performance adjustments in order to conform to ship standards. Note: Disciplinary action can still be avoided. -|| End Message ::
I guess it's time to face the music.
