I just witnessed a shoplifter, and adult, being escorted by shop staff into the room where they put shoplifters to wait for the police to arrive. Before the door closed, I heard the culprit try to defend themselves: "But I paid in the other shop!"
Seriously? Human kind is doomed...

–So... we had one problem and now we have three.
–Three? Aldrich, last I checked we only had two. An activated station AI and loss of gravity. The first one might even be solved... yeh well, we'll find out once we get our feet back on the floor.

–"The reboot was successful but the station has lost its artificial gravity", yes Reyes, I am fully aware of that last one!
–Can you stop being such a little ray of sunshine for just a moment, Aldrich? You and Cadwell should check whether the systems are cleared

–I must say that I find it very strange how station AI can suddenly just activate. It should not be possible. Someone must have awakened it, Mr. Reyes.
–Don’t look at me like that, doc, I’m just as puzzled as you are.

For my portfolio, my mentor has asked me to remove my characters from four different drawings just to enhance the landscapes/surroundings. I realise that she has a point, and I do have multiple copies of each image but it still feels wrong to just remove them like that. Too attached? _Me_? Naaah! 😝

–Not exactly the glowing mushrooms you predicted.
–Fascinating! They look like explorers, just like us!
–It's rather rude talking about others as if they weren't there.
–Are you suggesting we try to communicate?
–Either that, or we just politely nod and move along.

–How you intend to “take it down”, is a mystery to me, Reyes. This previously deactivated station AI should be directly connected to the mainframe and thus be able to access the entire Kepler, isn’t that right?

"Ten minutes of morning sunlight can significantly benefit your health by regulating your body's circadian rhythm, which improves sleep, mood, and energy levels."
Excuse me but what sunlight, exactly what is this "sunlight" you speak about? Is that, like, bright clouds or something?!

–Doctor, I'm not normally superstitious but...

–But I think we might have ghosts on the station!

Soo… that was fun!
I was randomly put to lead a group of strangers through the haunted house and there was a lot of screaming. Not from me (or _because_ of me) though. I thank good perception and years of paranoid gaming for that. 😜👻🎃

Taking à few hours off to visit our currently Halloween themed park, Liseberg, and some of their horror houses. I’ll do my best not to ruin the mood for everyone by laughing at the actors. Again. 👻🎃

Another reason why people shouldn't have AI:
People are too lazy to write e-mails so the ask an AI to do a summary of what they need to send. AI spits out an interpretation. People on the other end are too lazy to read, so they ask an AI for a summary and guess what?
It's the bloody telephone game!

–Aldrich, I've been thinking.
–What a refreshing change of routine, captain.
–Since the garbage is now in stable orbit around the station, all you have to do is to steer us closer to the star and the garbage will burn up upon entry in its corona!
–Yes. And so would we.

"So what do you work with except astronomy?" someone asked me and I replied that I'm aiming to become an illustrator. The answer to that was:

_Excuse me_?! Is this what people think illustrators are up to these days? Sheesh, gimme a break.

Today we got our revenge on the storm that forced us to cancel the Day & Night of #Astronomy and #100HoursofAstronomy at Onsala Space Observatory. This is inflatable planetarium where I held 7 presentations today and look - they made a roll-up banner of my artwork! 👩🚀🌍✨
