I can certainly see their point in it. One of these days, I'll have to ask Geo to forward on his little stash of fiction and images he's tracked down over the years to freak me out with. It's... some of it's sweet, some of it's creepy, and some of it's caused me to spend weeks awake and shivering. And I do get regular calls from people wondering if I'm interested in donning the hardsuit and crashing some party or another.
The fuel's only a worry because JMC's budget is still mildly tight right now from the past issues we've had. It's not that big a deal, but I'm certainly willing to cut a deal with Jet under the circumstances. Starbug can take quite a range of fuels, thankfully, due in part to (ironic in the discussion) the original template, unlike the Blue Midgets, that tend to be rather more particular because their template was somewhat more nebulous.
On the repair side, Jeph's got a nice set of spares for me... in part because I'm mildly unique among my generation, not being A.C. Peters built.
Oh, and I do indeed have plenty of that cake. In fact, it's all that's currently in the fridge on board, except for the obligatory meal of chicken vindaloo that has to be there in case we need to actually cook something in the galley. (Jeph says it's just the right level of spice. I personally think it could be used as a welding torch additive.)
