[DIALOGUE]
Pandora: Heya, Tobe-meister? Whatcha up to?

Toby: Ah, just goin' through this box of crap. I'm tryin' to find my favorite tackle-ball, so I can practice my curve ball pitch...

Toby: I knew I brought it on the ship. I only packed 24 boxes of my stuff when we left.

Koi: Lemme guess: you're going to play with that thing in the starship's bridge like how I caught you the last four times you did that? Right?

Toby: *this mf* NO! I was gonna use the ship's cargo hold like a responsible person, Koi!

Koi: Okay, no need to get facetious, young lady.

Toby: Don'tcha mean FISH-tious?

Koi: ...

Pandora: Hey now, let's not fight, guys!...it's not even 9AM yet...I'm sure that ball is around here somewhere.

TL-BX: Captain Senna is correct! The rulebook states that teamwork ensures a 50.5% chance of achieving victories! With our combined efforts, we'll find this tackle-ball faster than you can say "George Devil Jr."!

Pandora: There's that Midnight Wayward spirit, buddy!

TL-BX: Alright, let's see if we can - uhh, what the silicon is-

Toby: YO AIN'T NO FREAKING WAY! IT'S PIXIE! MY OLD MINING AXE!

Pandora: whoa~

Miner Infractions (7/11)

Toby: I thought I lost Pixie in that cave-in on 52577 Lucas! She's, like, the best thing I got during my mining years! Well...okay, SECOND best thing.

Pandora: Yo, no way...this is our old mining gear back from our old jobs. Heh, look, Koi! It's your old water-breathing filter apparatus! Remember those days, bro?

Koi: How could I forget?

Koi: I thought the supervisor recycled this thing as a birdbath for the tunnel canaries...wait a Coddamn minute...TOBY YOU FREAKING CONFISCATED MINING EQUIPMENT ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?

Toby: Hey dude, 90% of the stuff in this box is rusty old scrap anyways! If our old boss wants to hunt us down for what's basically garbage, then that's on them, not me!

Koi: THAT STILL DOESN'T MEAN STEALING THEM BEHIND THEIR BACKS, TOBY!!!

TL-BX: Well, I must say, you organics never cease to amaze me since you've came on this ship. Mining certainly doesn't come easy, y'know. You three must have had a ton of crazy memories when you were moon dust miners.

Miner Infractions (11 - FINAL)

Koi: Dust...too thick... can't see...

Supervisor: EVERYONE EVACUATE! WE HAVE A CAVE-IN!

Miner: GET PARAMEDICS DOWN HERE NOW!!! We have an injured miner in the Southside tunnels!

Pandora: ...pl-please... I-I need help...I...I can't feel my leg...

Koi / Pandora / Toby: ...yeah...sure...
