Emergency Patch
"Don't you just hate being woken up by the micrometeor puncture alarm?"
What you can't see is, behind her, the shipmate who's too tied-up to help out at the moment.
Check Up
"I have a *what* infection?!?"
Say hello to another member of the Bayesian Nakama, the ram who uses the code-name Baz. He specializes in biomonitors and diagnostics, and thus naturally tends to fall into the role of the gang's doctor... even if his professionalism in doing so does get somewhat taxed when those he has to treat are long-time friends, occasional lovers, and, as seen here, his unhappily surprised employer.
Simple Drudgery
One of the least pleasant aspects of life in space: molds of unheralded annoyance will grow /everywhere/ if left unchecked. Here, Dee, in one of the most futuristic settings possible, surrounded by tech... gets to play old-fashioned washerwoman. She does have /some/ advantage from living in the future, by letting some of her prosthetics run under independent local control. She's adopted her rogue cybernetic hand as a "pet", and it's doing its own part to help out.
Worth It
After all the hard work, the middle-of-the-night surprises, the medical problems, and the more hard work; all the aches and pains and trouble of simply existing outside of Earth's atmosphere... there are times when Dee likes to remind herself of the obvious fact that life in space is still /more/ than worth it.
