Your quarters are indeed impressive: they appear to be an elegant series of rooms, filled with pillows, closets for clothes, and comfortable chairs and sofas.
There is a small girl there, wearing a military jumpsuit, and curled up in a pile of cushions. As you speak, the girl sits up and speaks with CECCE's friendly voice.
"Yes, Liriani, I can tell you about the others on this ship. What would you like to know?"
"Captain Van Curran is from the Thuldan Empire. His father is Admiral Phineous Curran. This is his first assignment."
"Commander Dra'Ked is from VoidCorp. He was assigned her at the request of Ambassador Quentin Sikes."
"Lt. Commander Gabriel Dane is from the Union of Sol. He is a mindwalker of the Da'Shan Orders monastery."
"Lieutenant Ebon is from Insight. She was a pilot in a marine heavy armor division before being assigned to this ship."
"Lieutenant, J.G. Thomas Caine is from the Orlamu Theocracy. His request for this assignment was approved by Administrator Jocelyn Kara."
"Chief Petty Officer Lucas Tyler is from the Hatire Community. This is his first naval assignment in the Star Force."
"Petty Officer Jak Friday is from Rigunmor. She has served in the Star Force as engineer, fighter pilot and captain, but was recently demoted to engineer's mate."
"Spaceman Duke Lincoln is from Austrin-Ontis Unlimited. He served with Ebon in a marine heavy armor division before being assigned to this ship."
"Miss Liriani Lopez is from the Union of Sol. She is our ambassador and OMIG representative, and the best, most wonderful singer on board!" As she completes this monologue, the girl rushes up to give you a hug, and the music from your last hit single begins playing over the room's speakers.

Van, Captain Biologist!
OOC: posting this assuming no one catches Gabriel in the hallway
Van, relieved that he's not stepped on his officer's religious toes, sighs, then smiles when the mindwalker returns to the bridge.
"Gabriel! Hope the walkabout was, well, walka.. bouty." He lets out a nervous laugh, then pushes on.
"But we're having a meeting, right? Here, I'm using the front room from my quarters as an office. Figured it made sense with the entrance right onto the bridge and all. The bridge is all yours Mr. Caine, so be nice to her."
With that, Van ushers the Mind Knight through the side door in the bridge and into a very unorganized office space. The captain blushes as he picks up a stack of datasheets from one of the chairs to make room.
"Sorry. Haven't really had time to settle, plus I'm kind of horrible at unpacking, since I keep running across things like old papers or medtexts I've been meaning to look at and then I just lose track of time doing just that."
Another nervous laugh, then Van finds himself a seat, as well.
"Have you had time to ... have you seen the files on the crew, then?"

Gabriel Dane [Da'Shan Mind Knight]
A slight smile settles on Gabriels face as he studies the Captains mannerisms. "Yes it was very informative" Following him into the office Gabriel is surprised by the sheer amount of chaos within the room. But keeping his calm demeanor he quickly takes the offered seat.
Well this if nothing else shows his relaxed manner is not just a show. It looks almost a case study of the absent minded scientist. This should prove interesting on so many levels.
"Do not worry all things will work out in time. Reflecting on the past can be an invaluable tool for improving the future." Taking a moment to once again study the Captain while to look for the right words, until finally he begins again. "I have only cursorily seen the files. Though I plan to study them more completely as our current jump continues. I have managed to meet most of the crew, though some only in passing. Was there anything in particular you wished me to make note of, or to watch?"

Van
Van bites his lip a moment, looking around as if someone's going to overhear him, then decides it's safe enough.
"Well, we've kind of got a lot of folks getting second chances on the crew, and I really want to let them have those, but I have to ... " He takes a deep breath to steady himself, looks at the way he's bouncing his knee as if he's scolding the knee itself (maybe he is, since the bouncing does stop). Then he looks Gabriel straight in the eye. The mind knight doesn't need psychic powers to see the worry in his face. Then he continues:
Yeti:[sblock]
"It's Duke. Hackers I can deal with. And Friday's case seems circumstantial at worst. But, well, Duke actively murdered his crewmates. He doesn't remember any of it, but he did it. And he's Austrin, so you know he was good at it, too. Personally, I'm more than a little worried about relapse.
"There's the secondary question of why Ebon would go and request assignment with a man who killed most of their mates before, but that's pretty much a far second to making sure we don't wind up starring in Duke Attack 2: The Pacific Slaughter, you know?"[/sblock]

You mean blas- Like me? "I don't like her. I don't like people who come in and sit down to watch like they own the place and we're the entertainment. She didn't even say 'hello' or 'go to Hell' or anything," Lucas says with considerably less passion than he would use when speaking of inanimate objects, like engines or computers.
"Yeah. I'm not much of a High Priest of Concordan Cheer," Lucas smirks, genuinely amused at the thought.
Gabriel Dane [Da'Shan Mind Knight]
Doing his best to process the possible motivations of such an act Gabriel begins to formulate a plan of action. "I shall see what I can do to monitor the situation, and advise you when I have found out more information. I will also try and get to know Duke, and Ebon for that matter, and see if I cannot find the missing pieces. But the Administrator did hand pick the individuals for this mission. Perhaps she has access to the information we do not and it gave her cause to support the two for this journey."

Dra'Ken ponders Friday's nervous reaction, staring at her. I need to read our personnel files as soon as possible. Still, I'm glad I didn't potentially color my impressions of the crew with prior knowledge.
"While I find her idealism annoying, she seems fairly harmless. Furthermore, she was attempting to be friendly by complimenting the ship, Dra'Ken says uncomfortably. "I find it highly unlikely that Lucas has distaste for people with wings, since he has not expressed it in my presence."
"She seems willing to be helpful, and doesn't seem to treat our mission as her own personal pleasure cruise as one might expect a celebrity of her status to."It could be worse. I wonder how functional her wings are...

Van smiles ruefully. "She gave me command, too, so I'm not sure I'm 100% on the administrator's judgement skills, but I do have a very ... demanding father where Duke just had, well, Ebon."
The captain's eyebrows arch above the top of his sunglasses as he offers, "Say, you don't think they're an item, do you?"
