The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

[Prof Yeti]

Gabriel Dane [Da'Shan Mind Knight]

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?"

His head cocking at a slight angle Gabriel continues to observe Van with his constant calm expression. "Yes...I must admit her choice for myself was equally perplexing. I am the first of my order to leave Sol space in many years. Maybe she saw something in this particular group of skills and personalities."

Moving a bit Gabriel at the Captains second statement, his brows furrow in deep concentration. "Possible....It would point to why she survived their previous posting. But at this point just speculation. At this time they are the two that I have had the least contact with aboard ship. Though I hope to remedy that in the next day or so."

The psychic's calm is comforting. Or is it that he's enforcing comfort? Best not to worry about it; if he is in Van's head, it's not like Van has the kind of training to identify or resist it. Instead, he decides to ignore the impulse and enjoy the salve on his nerves. He smiles.

"I feel better knowing you're on the job, Gabe. I'm sure there are issues to discuss with the other crew, but I figure those are less urgent and you'll likely run into them as we go. I just wanted to make sure you were ... forewarned about this one."

The captain starts to stand, then stops himself and returns to his seat.

"Sorry. I didn't even think: do you have any questions or concerns of your own, while we've got the private space?"

His smile growing Gabriel watches the Captain chuckling inwardly. "No...No...I don't have any questions right now. But if I may I will reserve the opportunity for another time." And with that a full smile breaks across his face. "And I appreciate both your trust and the forewarning of the situation."

Van smiles, then waves off the thanks as if they embarrass him.

"Nothing doing. I figure there's a whole lot of politicking going on out there, and I'm not much good at any of it. About the only thing I'm probably good at as a captain is delegating."

He stands now, walking to the door back out to the bridge, though he waits for Gabriel to precede him.

"Best bet this crew has is to look out for each other, and the sooner we figure out how good we are at that, the better."

Standing and making his way to the door, Gabriel turns to Van nodding. "I believe you have found the statement that we should all live by while here." And with that he makes his way from the office to the bridge and then out to the hall beyond.

 

[Hammerhead]

Bump!

Dra'Ken clears his throat softly.

 

[Samnell]

"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."

"Being willing to be helpful and being helpful are separate activities," Lucas says dismissively.

 

[Hammerhead]

Dra'Ken looked sharply at Lucas. She will prove to be helpful, I can assure you. This vessel is a small place.

"Uh, yeah. Of course she will," Lucas says dubiously, shuffling and looking away as he does.

[sblock=Ozmar]Laera smiles and opens her arms. "I can see that I have a very big fan. Would you like your own private concert?"[/sblock]

[sblock=Frukathka]
"Oh, that would be grand!" The little girl jumps for joy and claps her hands. "Your music makes the darkness disappear! I am so glad you are aboard, Miss Lopez!"
