001: Alex, Bobbie and Amos are Judging You
The Martians and the Earther are sitting at a table in the Mess Hall, and they've started a game. That game? To rate everyone else on the ship in order of attractiveness. Want to be rated? Find the comment header below, drop a picture in of your character, and watch the comments fly. Feel free to overhear them and give them hell.
002: Closed, Alex >> Frank
Going on the morning walk-about to search for Holden was ritual, at this point, and Alex was very used to Frank coming over first thing before they headed out. So the door was already open, waiting for him. Alex was fishing through his drawers, trying to find where he'd stashed that singular glove that he'd found, to show him for a laugh. But instead his fingers found something else - a thin sheet of plastic, creased and bent a hundred thousand times, and Alex's heart nearly stopped.
He pulled it out of the drawer like it was made of plutonium, careful not to touch the edges of the drawer with it.
Christ. Oh, Christ.
003: Open, Alex >> Anyone who wants to find this wrecked man.
He goes straight to the bar.
It's not that he isn't a fairly regular fixture there, anyway, but especially right now, all he really wants is to drink until he numbs everything. So hi, have a depressed Martian with a bottle of who knows what, sitting at the bar and just staring at a picture of a woman and a child smiling lovingly at the camera. He keeps stroking his thumb over it, then looking wrecked and saying something like 'god damn it' under his breath before he pours himself another drink. One of his arms is still wrapped up in a sling against his chest.
If he recognizes you, he might look up when you get close, and sigh. "Hey, partner. Everythin' alright?" Because it's a lot easier to worry about other people, than to keep being miserable about yourself.

"I just - I couldn't do what she needed. I couldn't do what either of them needed. At the very least if I was flyin' I could provide for 'em in some way, right? Without wantin' to do myself in."

"Family, Miller. A big one. A martian one. The whole point is to have as big a family as possible, and - and we could only manage one."
One kid.
One that survived, anyway.
He swallowed.
"It ain't easy, when it don't work. On anyone."

He looked at Miller. "... But it wasn't them. Was it. They weren't actually there. They'd never have just - they wouldn't have just left me there--"

"No. It wasn't them. It's this goddamn station. So keep calm and try to help me figure out how this is happening." His eyes are sharp and focused for a change as he leads Alex through the doorway. He pats the man on the back for good measure. "Just start from the top."
