After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

"Pah!" Pierce scoffs dismissively as he exits the room a few moments after Mel, heading toward the engine room to help Cnosos. So far there had been little excitement aboard the Greed, and when he stopped to think about it, Pierce honestly had no idea what they were doing up here, where they were going. But then again Damon and Mel didn't invite him aboard to help with the thinking.

Damon glances at Gaetanna, and offers her a wry smile. "If you keep scaring off the rest of the crew, you're going to have to cross-train in all of their areas of expertise."

 

[Relique du Madde]

"They're just find another reason to say I'm getting in the way." She sighed. " I can't wait till we get into port, because at least there I would be of some service."

 

[Rhun]

"Just give it time," says Damon.

 

[Dr Simon]

Solly wanders onto the bridge, whistling Lillibulero as is his habit. Since leaving Unity he has whiled away the time lying on his bunk reading, playing cards with the rest of the crew (or Solitaire if the no opponents are available), and steadily working through the stock of ersatz coffee, "attempting to acquire the taste" as he puts it. He has a mug of it in hand now.

"So, Cap'n", he says to Damon. "Granted I probably don't need to know as ship's doctor, but mind telling me where we're going? Steve said something about a cargo for Jap One, and some wierd stuff about viruses and a lemon tree - I didn't really get that part."

 

[Relique du Madde]

"You guys have a lemon tree?" Gaetanna turned to the nearest long term crew member. "I hope you all set up UV lighting and hydroponics for it since it would be depressing to see such a valuable commodity die of improper care."

 

[Rhun]

Damon shrugs. "Indeed, we do have a lemon tree...Cnosos set up something, making noise about lighting and proper water, soil and fertilization, but you'd have to ask him. I can't say I am much of a green thumb, and don't know the first thing about growing trees. You are more than welcome to take a look." Turning his head to regard Solly, he smiles. "We are headed to Jap One to drop off some steel. From there...well, we will just have to see what choices we have open to us."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Lift that" Cnosos says to the hulk, pointing at a big apparatus, with all sort of lights. "Leave it there and now take those." says the greek man, rubbing his hands with a piece of greasy cloth. He points at some fat sets of wire with heavy metal joints. "But put those gloves on first, I don't want a Christmas tree before time." the technician says with a chuckle. After Pierce is done with pluging the wires to the apparatus, Cnosos approaches to a console and types a few commands in the keyboard.
The devices starts working and shaking, with even more lights flashing, and a screeching sound. The bald man kneels next to the working machine and performs some adjustments with his tool until the screeching dies out.
"Great. Unplug it and put it where it was Pierce." says Cnosos, cleaning his hands, as usual, as he turns the thing off from his console.

 

[ethandrew]

"What the..." Pierce doesn't lift the last of the equipment quite yet, instead he stands there, a bit of sweat on his brow from the heat of the machines and the effort of exertion. "You didn't just call me in here to lift the same thing again and again did you? Or was there a purpose?"

He asks the last as he unplugs the big apparatus and gets in position to lift with his legs, not with his back.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Basically yes, I needed to plug it here, and then place it again in its proper place, where it will stay, now that I have calibrated it." Cnosos states, a bit distracted staring at his console. "But worry not, as soon as you put it back you are free to rampage the ship for sex."
the technician says with his typical short introverted laughs
OOC: The gamers, great stuff! HA!
