#i love drawing the hephaestus. her massive and sprawling body with endless corridors#the way that minkowski and eiffel both describe it as so big you could get lost in it#so big it couldnt possibly have been designed for a three human and one ai crew#so big that there has to be more of it than they can access#and its their home. but its also a hostile environment.#and its hera's body too. but it's out of her control#shes the stations ai but she isnt the station its a body shes been put in and its under her control but shes constantly fighting it#you know?#it reminds me a little of that one episode of ds9 where the station which theyve all made their home on. starts trying to kill them#and its all dukat on the computers going ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS. ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS.#while they desperately try to save the inhabitants and protect themselves#this is their home they live in it they get used to it. they love it. and sometimes. it wants to hurt them. and thats not its fault#its a fascinating relationship to have with a place#anyway forgive my tags i love drawing space stations
