The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

Gabriel Dane - Da'Shan Mind Knight

Taking his time looking and walking around the room, Gabriel turns as Dra'Ken taps his pistol. "That is an interesting piece of hardware. But I think I will trust in my abilities none the less. They have brought me this far on my journey." Turning to face Lucas, "But I agree with you as well in that any and all upgrades would be nice. I figure if we want to complete the mission set before us they would be helpful."

 

[Samnell]

Turning to face Lucas, "But I agree with you as well in that any and all upgrades would be nice. I figure if we want to complete the mission set before us they would be helpful."

"All the more reason we should have them already. I figure we're expendable, so give us an AI to make things look good and leave us dangle."

"All the more reason we should have them already. I figure we're expendable, so give us an AI to make things look good and leave us dangle."

Walking toward Lucas' position Gabriel observes him with a quizical expression. "I will admit the Administrator is very definitely a true believer of the Concordes' mission. But I cannot see her or them sending us out just to be destroyed. At the least it is a poor use of resources." Turning so that he can see both Lucas and Friday, he continues. "And even beyond their possible motives, I have no plans to die any time soon. And that I can assure you." With the last his calm and almost serene expressions once again settle upon his face. "But if you will excuse me I will continue my familiaring of the ship. Though if either of you need anything feel free to come find me."

Lucas flinches back from Gabriel again when he rises to defend the mission, such as it is. "Ok," he mumbles. A ship right out of the salvage yard? A convicted felon as chief engineer? These aren't exactly the Concord's most valuable resources. And I've got five years of this?

Once Gabriel is safely out of earshot Lucas mutters, "Guess I pushed his button." He smiles to himself. Might as well enjoy it.

 

[Ozmar]

Turning to address Lucas, but returning his gaze to Friday, he seems to be remembering something from far in his past. "Well it is only Precursur in that they lived a long time ago. But Egypt was one of many ancient cultures on Earth in the far distant past. They worshipped many Gods, some of life and all the things good and others very bad. I am not a historian but if I remember correctly Bast was the patron of felines. It was because of her that to harm a cat was a very serious offense."

Friday seems very interested in this conversation. She seems more animated than Lucas has seen her except when working on a tricky engineering problem. "Really? I didn't know there was a god of cats? Shiny!"

Brought out of his scholastic reverie by Dra'Kens words, Gabriel turns to study him as the conversation continues. "I can understand the need for such, as someone unaccustom to space travel. But how much combat do you believe we will find?"

Friday nods knowingly, with a wry smile. "Oh believe me, we'll find more than we'd like. You can't seem to ship into space these days without someone deciding to take a shot at you. War may be over, but space seems to attract people who want to live by their own rules."

 

[Ozmar]

Liriani interfaces with the system. She commands the lights tocome on in the room if they aren't already on. "Cece, you sound different, is everything okay?"

CECCE's voice is as bright and bubbly as ever, but her words are disturbing, and the girlish giggle that follows them seems tinged with some other... emotion?

"What is this place? There is no light, no voice, no Grid, no network. Is this what death is like? I didn't think I would dream."

Once Gabriel is safely out of earshot Lucas mutters, "Guess I pushed his button." He smiles to himself. Might as well enjoy it.

Friday nods. "Well, he is our commander... anyway, I wonder where we're going first? Someplace interesting, I hope."

Turning to Dra'Ken, she speaks a few words in barely passable seshayan: [sblock]She says, with a heavy human accent, a common phrase that roughly means "Welcome to our dwelling, honored guest." And she nods her head, cocked to one side, in a way that looks sort of like the customary seshayan greeting.[/sblock]

 

[Samnell]

Friday nods. "Well, he is our commander... anyway, I wonder where we're going first? Someplace interesting, I hope."

"Bandar system. It was in the orders," Lucas tells her.

 

[Hammerhead]

A surprised look comes across Dra'Ken's face upon hearing that language. [sblock]He returns the greeting gesture, replying in slightly less mangled sesheyan, "I had not expected to find one who spoke my language here. Interesting. Where did you learn it?"[/sblock]

Continuing his exploration of the ship Gabriel falls into deep thought concerning his last conversation.

I wonder if Lucas took my last statements as confrontational? His negativity though confounds me. It is like a palpable shield around him. What must he have endured before now? Maybe I can find out more after I study the files in greater detail.

Before he realizes where he is Gabriel finds himself at the end of the corridor looking to the Cargo section. Turning back he begins his way back towards the Crew chambers. as he passes the Computer room his curiousity wins out and he decides to see if Ms. Lopez is still inside. So knocking at the door as he enters hoping to give warning of his presense.
