#bri comment: i truly cannot envision john using emojis

... because the emergency alert went off. Remember Gordon, every time you're annoyed because the alarm interrupted your [swimming / nap / date / hot dog], it first interrupted me. And my cheeseburger.

I know this is a weak question compared to the previous ones from others, but I'm curious.

How does TB5 work? Not as in systems 'n stuff, but as in where do you sleep, are the toilets space ones or normal ones, do you have a shower and if yes, how. Do you eat anything other than bagels?

Sorry for the long, kinda weird question, and have a nice day!

(also eh... you wouldn't mind sending someone over to uh... get me out of this sinkhole, right? Wouldn't wanna be a bother, just eh.. asking...)

Thank you for your message 🍞.

It's important to direct all calls to an appropriate emergency line when needed - please do not use this channel to request assistance. I trust that the sinkhole you referenced is related to the situation attended by International Rescue earlier this week and your rescue was satisfactory.

On this note, I have been informed that the end-of-year report requires satisfaction statistics so please rate our services on a 5 point scale, with 1 indicating some improvement needed and 5 indicating you were rescued from your situation.

I have pointed out that there is some sampling bias in this kind of survey, since only those who survive these events unscathed are likely to leave a rating, and have been thusly informed that my protests are "unnecessarily morbid" and "indicate something is deeply wrong with [my] psyche".

...

With regards to your questions regarding TB5, I can inform you that I have access to all basic amenities including sleeping quarters, bathrooms, and yes... a shower. The water is directed in jets that provides the appropriate force so the stream may be directed temporarily even when the gravity ring is not engaged, but I must say, I do prefer showering when the ring is employed. If this is not possible due to scheduled maintenance, a simple washcloth will suffice, and if there is an emergency resulting in the gravity ring being damaged, I have more important considerations than showering, I can assure you.

Finally, yes I eat food other than bagels. Unfortunately, the cheeseburgers Virgil sends are usually cold when they reach me, so it's better as a meal option on Earth.
