Around the station
gollark: You seem to have missed some purposes of conversation. I would actually like to know why. It's quite unusual.
gollark: Why did you get missiled? That's bad for your health. You should avoid this.
gollark: This is actually quite silly, since if you try and fight in modern mechanized warfare with a sword and such you'll just pointlessly die.
gollark: Well, there exist parts of cities which aren't entirely garbage, so I don't know if that would work well.
