The Long Journey Home

[Ray Ray]

He looked down at his trays as if he was going to pounce on them at any moment, but stopped himself because of present company.
As Arthur came over, he was arguing with his sister.
"Fine then, I'm Ray as well, pleased to meet you! See how confusing it would be to introduce myself in the same moment? Pretty damn confusing, ey?" He remembered at this point why he always picked up girls in bars -without- Rey around, and never let her meet any of his girlfriends.

 

[Alexander Bauhdric]

Alexander saluted the commodore, nodding slowly at the news he was being told. It was grim. Stranded in the middle of no-where, resources dwindling...Still, humanity would persevere!

"I assure you, we will not fail you. We will make it back to earth!"

He spoke with conviction; and why shouldn't he. To him, the matter of surviving in this harsh environment was a certainty. Yes, there would be hardships, but the crew of the wanderer would be protected by starseeker, and for as long as he was a captain, starseeker would never fail.

"Otherwise, no questions commodore. We are your sword, we are your shield."

OOC: Gah, sorry about the slow posting. When I get back to uni, posting should resume to normality ^^

Mess hall

The young lady chuckles a bit and replies to Raymond. "Well if I'm a doll doesn't that make you an action figure?" She chuckles at herself for making a terrible joke and continues eating.

The young man then says "Heh, that's something from her at least. My name is Jean-Michelle hers is Ayla." He says the next bit in french. "Pleasure to meet you both."

He then motions to Arthur continuing in English "so er, how bout yourself?"

Bridge

The commodore bids you out of the bridge, with the two captains left outside you both presume this is where he wants you to start.

 

[Alexander Bauhdric]

Alexander smiles to Ghost, and bows his head, returning the salute he had been offered on the bridge, and holding his hand out for Ghost to shake; if he takes up the offer, he will receive a handshake that is rather firm; for a firm-handshake is a display of great integrity, and who would betray ones physical perfection by allowing others to doubt their moral bearing?

"Greetings Ghost, we finally meet in person. Sorry I didn't shake your hand sooner; It was no sign of disrespect, I was just a little...Taken aback by what the Commodore had to say."

He nodded slowly, offering the captain a weak smile.

"Anyway! I dearly hope our working relationship remains strong, captain! From what I overheard in the armoury, you are soldier first and foremost, and while others take exception to this, I understand where you're coming from. Anyway! In order to bolster the working relationship between us, I should expect that you'd like to know what in gods name happened to me outside the ship. I was going to debrief my squad when I got a chance, but if you'd like to bring your squad too, I would be most honoured by their presence."

Alexander felt warmer now, especially that conversation was on more typical areas of conversation; objectives, debriefing, and introductions. He was certain that he and Ghost would get along, at least well enough to run their respective squads efficiently, in the same way he was certain that everyone was going to live.

 

[Arthur Campbell]

Arthur looked up from his food hm?..what..oh yes! he chuckled softly Today must finally be getting to me, Arthur Campbell, the pleasures all mine. he nodded his head.

He started eating a few mouthfuls of food better than rations I'll give them that, So... first day, how's it been?

 

[Ray Ray]

"that makes me a mint in box original, fully posable and with machine gun accessories.Ayla, huh? Friend of Barbies?" he commented, continuing with the doll theme as it seemed to be working.

 

[Mikhail Zhukov]

Seeing that his conversation with the quartermaster seemed to have ended Mikhail turned to the remaining Sierra's.


Well fellow privates I am sure you will have your hands full in the science wing with all the scrap we brought in. In case you get in any heated arguments with indigenous population remember, they don't have combat training so try not to break anything. If any one asks me and mister helmsmen will be in the goblin lair. he finished, waving his hand as he was leaving the armory and heading to the engineering.

			Poking their tech is all well and good but we need to know who they are and what they want. Right now preferably. Where we are would also be a nice thing to know. If we keep crawling around in the dark it is only a matter of time till we hit a mine. Right now lab coats are just not fast enough. Times like this call for blatant disregard for any and all safety measures that only engineers can deliver. For the greater good of course. And after all a promise is a promise.

 

[Ray_Ray]

She couldn't help but giggle as she spoke "Glad to see someone get's my brother's terrible sense of humor, it is a pleasure to meet you to as well, how have you been enjoying our cruise so far... quite eventful isn't it?" she flashes a quick smile as she just has her drink, slipping back into french "<I also don't want to pry but where are you two assigned, I was wondering the sort of people they have brought along on our little voyage>"

 

['Ghost']

Ghost accepts the hand shake and his handshake is also firm, quiet yet confident.

I am a little curious as to what happened out there, no one man should be able to create such a destructive force. I've seen some things captain, but never anything like that without the use of heavy explosives. I agree that both squads should be debriefed together, they need to know the situation and seeing as we're now teamed up there's no reason not to. Currently my team is engaged with other duties, trying to find out more about our enemy. Not to mention, as you heard, we came across a strange device which may hold some answers. I was set to debrief my squad at XXXX hours. They may have made some headway with the enemy and the technology we found by then, and if it does contain intel on our current whereabouts we can use it to pick ideal planets, rich in resources and at least a little less hostile, then blindly jumping into the unknown. In my experience that gets you killed.

Sarah floats over and courtesy's in front of of Alexander, holding out an invisible dress as she does so.

Not to mention his squad could do with a break from him *giggling* I'm Sarah Captain Bauhdric, pleasure to meet you.

A wide beaming smile on her face as she says it. Ghost quickly glances to his side the clicks his tongue and looks back at Alexander.

There is one thing I need to take care of first though captain. So if we're agreed I'll comm my squad and arrange them to meet us wherever you wish to hold the debrief. I was thinking our quarters but...*he looks alexander up and down* it might be a little bit of a squeeze to fit us all in the tiny common room we've been designated. So I'm open to suggestions. Though currently we should keep the debrief in a private area, so as not to worry the civilian population.

OOC: For all intents and purposes I'll use XXXX to designate unimportant times, seeing as in most role playing games time is never a concern, that is especially true of FUN =D

Mess Hall

Ayla looks confused for a moment before replying to Raymond. "If you are mint in he box how are we supposed to pose you? And no, Barbie can't move well enough to fight."

Jean-Michelle continues to talk to with the other two. "Eventful yes, though not in a way I'd like. We are part of Charlie squad, our squad specializes in close quarter fighting. We were fighting near the engines of the ship recently trying to rip off those attackers without causing further damage to the ship. None of our squad carries guns so we do minimal collateral, or at least that's why I think the Commodore has put us together. So all in all, good first day that we aren't dead can't say the same for all of us though."



Research Centre

OOC: Since Aleksandra hasn't replied I'll continue this scene without her, she can join in whenever.

J.D.Tsuba reaches the Research centre. It is currently in disarray as a lot of the researchers are wondering about looking at the spoils of the recent battle and what they possibly could be. When you enter a lady in what looks like her mid-30 approaches. She has black hair tied up in a bun presumably to keep it away from chemicals and the like in the lab. On her lab coat you can see a Italian flag.

"Hello there soldier, what can we do for you?"



Engineering bay

OOC: Sorry didn't see you reply to Meia will post it below.

Meia has a quick inspection, looking mostly at a distance and taking a tool out of her pocket. "Well, as far as I can tell you are still wearing your MDA. There is at least a signature from you that it is on your person. Maybe it is as you say it has turned into an energy field. Strange things happened during that fight, oh well at least you can live in whatever you are wearing." She bids you farewell as you leave the Armory.

As Mikhail comes around the corner to Engineering he sees the engineers in full swing of repairs and maintenance checks. There are a few walkways in and around the main bay area that lead to separate parts of the ship. Somewhere around the middle Sarah is barking our orders through a megaphone, why she doesn't use her communicator you don't know.
