"Hey, you've reached Chase Collins! You know what to do." BEEP.

[captaincricket]

No rush! I'm not going off the ship myself at the moment; just letting you off.

[fifthofthecovenant]

Oh. All right.

[He's still putting papers together, as he asks:]

Do we get spending money? Or is it just sight-seeing?

[He hasn't been to a port yet, okay.]

[captaincricket]

Yes, the admiral gave the wardens some spending money and I'll be happy to give some to you!

[fifthofthecovenant]

Nice, thanks.

See you in half an hour, I guess.

[And he will, indeed, show up on deck right about then, with his hands in his pockets and his hair free of spiders for once. There's one in his pocket, but Isaac can't see that, anyway.]

So what exactly does my temporary warden do besides let me off the ship on ports?

[captaincricket]

Isaac is waiting there for him, gazing out at the space station as he does so.

"Hmm? Well, I'm still fairly new at this, but basically deal with anything else that might come up? Although not to the extent that a permanent warden might."

[fifthofthecovenant]

"I pretty new, too," Chase says. "You're only my second temp." Which strikes him, as he says it, as wrong. But he can't remember any other wardens, so it has to be right. After the pause, he shakes his head. "So I don't really know a lot about the whole process/u> works."
