A New Year

[sanada_g]

 Congratulations, Renji, on your well deserved promotion. 

Sub Lt Sanada and Sub Lt Yanagi have a nice ring to it. The promotion was well overdue. The lesson here is do not change posts months before a promotion is guaranteed or you'll have to wait nearly a year for the next opportunity. 


Now that the baths are complete, engineering is again focusing on upgrades. A list has already been started but if there's anything you think we should add, please let us know. 


Also, I hope everyone is enjoying the design and tiling of the baths. They were inspired by classic onsen and retro bath houses in Japan. It took a team of us numerous hours to finish it all. Though it was certainly a good way to teach some of the engineers new skills and qualifications.

The mosiac IS pretty nice. You really went all out on it.

[sanada_g]

Thank you. The mosaic was more than was strictly necessary but I thought it would be nice to indulge in some creativity instead of standard tile colours as the base is now entering the upgrade and maintenance phase.

[mmmarui]

So you do have some sense of selfish personal preference in there, good to know

[sanada_g]

It's not a crime to have taste. The tiles had to be printed anyway, designs or plain colour made no difference.

[mmmarui]

Maybe not to making to the tiles, but it made a difference to installation.

But like I said, I like it.

The baths are wonderful. Thank you and your crew for all that you do!

[sanada_g]

Thank you.

And do not listen to Niou if he tries to tell you he will melt, perish, or other nonsense if dragged into the baths to properly relax.

[wildlionchef]

Hahahha I'll keep that in mind.

[chickens]

Just ignore sanada

Thankyou

I do not wish to get naked in the baths

[wildlionchef]

Which is a better excuse than melting.

[chickens]

I will actually perish from overheating if you take me to the baths. And the humid air will upset my sad lungs and I'll just flop on the ground as I walk through the door

[chickens]

Oi!

I do not wish to get naked with someone else again in the baths

[sanada_g]

What?

Go during quiet times. You already keep strange hours.

[chickens]

Or I could shower.

Or clean myself with a bucket in the privacy of the bathroom. Both would be preferable options

And I could relax.... In bed. With my clothes on.

[sanada_g]

Those would get you clean-ish but not as good as a proper scrub and soak at the baths. And the heat will relax you more than just lying in bed.

Congratulations, Genichirou. Well deserved.

Also, I am enjoying the baths greatly. As expected from your work, they are impressively engineered.

[sanada_g]

Thank you.

I had a good team working with me. And I'm pretty proud at what we managed with limited resources in area.

[spacewillow]

They felt very nostalgic.

[floranotfauna]

They're quite nice, Sanada. The mosaic was a good touch.

[chickens]

Genichirou, I have a business proposal for you

[chickens]

also if you don't reply here, I shall take this proposition to the entire base-wide open chat so everyone can see

[chickens]

but like, not in a threatening way!

[sanada_g]

...

How was that a non-threatening way?

[chickens]

it was to just demonstate the urgency of what I needed to talk to you about

[sanada_g]

You have multiple ways to reach me.

What is this proposition?
