Wait, you're waiting on me? It seems like it would be mewsland who would get the rescue going, and before then I'm not sure how much I really could meaninfully do without taking control of people. Is there something I've missed?

Also, uh, sorry for not being on much, real life has been setting in strong as of late.

I couldn't find a number for what Salyut 7 actually had, but 1.5 orbits (2 hours) sounds sensible to me.

No, I couldn't either, even by flipping through that document in the OP. 2 hours should be good.

Well, that's good at least. Likely won't have much time for active RP until the semester ends.
