The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

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.

Friday rolls her eyes. "Hmph! Well, I like her. And I thought she was the entertainment? This might not be such a boring trip after all."

Scene: The Engine Room

As Friday, Dra'Ken and Lucas are standing around, thinking uncomfortbale thoughts in the silence, the door suddenly opens and in walks a large, athletic man with a short, military haircut and a vicious scar across his face. He's wearing a standard-issue jumpsuit with a large combat knife sheathed at his side. He's carrying a large crate and talking as he enters, "Lucas, where d'ya want this fei-oo?" He sets it down near one of the bulkheads, and then turns and spies Dra'Ken. "What th-?! No one said nothin' about havin' no bat on board." He moves a little closer, eying Dra'Ken like he was some kind of exotic beast.

Friday seems somewhat shocked, and snaps at him, "Watch it, Duke! This is our commanding officer!"

Duke looks at her with a stupid-looking grin and a surprised expression. "No way? A bat's our commander? What won't they think of next?"

Friday rolls her eyes. "Hmph! Well, I like her. And I thought she was the entertainment? This might not be such a boring trip after all."

"Five days and no Grid? I don't see how she'll make that any better," Lucas sighs.

Friday seems somewhat shocked, and snaps at him, "Watch it, Duke! This is our commanding officer!"

Oh spare me. Now I feel bad about saying anything. I am NOT observing proper protocol. But I'm not being a bigoted anti-alien jerk either.

Duke looks at her with a stupid-looking grin and a surprised expression. "No way? A bat's our commander? What won't they think of next?"

Ok, the look on his face was almost worth it. "I'm waiting for an AI captain on a human-crewed ship. It's only a matter of time."

Gabriel Dane [Da'Shan Mind Knight]

Finishing his conversation Gabriel is struck by the need to meet the remaining member of the crew. After leaving the bridge he quikens his pace toward the rear of the ship. "Ce-Cee could you tell me where Duke Lincoln is currently?"

 

[Hammerhead]

Dra'Ken tilts his head up to look at the man...Duke, wasn't it? He just challenged my authority...

"Do you have some sort of problem with sesheyans, or are you using my species simply as a weapon to attack me?" Dra'Ken asks cooly, studying him.

"I am Commander Dra'Ken, as Ms. Friday stated."

"Certainly, Commander Dane. Duke Lincoln is not floating outside in the lifeless void, he is presently in Main Engineering." Arrows light up in the corridor leading down to that room.

As you arrive, there seems to be a loud conversation in progress, with several of the crew talking, or even arguing with each other. You sense tense emotions as you enter the room.

Duke shrugs. "Naw, I ain't got no problem with ya. I jus' never seen one in command before. I heard you was all corporate hunters for VoidCorp or something like that. Is it true you bats can see in the dark?" The human grins in an odd gesture - perhaps it means to be friendly? but it seems oddly threatening instead. You notice it is armed with a large combat knife in its belt.

As he talks, the doors open, and Lt. Cmdr Dane enters the room.

Gabriel Dane [Da'Shan Mind Knight]

Moving swiftly into the room Gabriel tries to get a feel for the conversation. Taking a step closer to Friday he greets her in a low tone before turning to the others in the room. "Greetings gentlemen is this a private discussion or can anyone join?" Adding a slight smile his face still holds his calm visage. Stepping towards Duke, Gabriel gives a slight bow of his head, while keeping eye contact.

Fascinating! He almost feels like an animal challenging for rank in the pack.

"Well since I have met everyone else on the crew complement you must be Duke Lincoln. It is nice to finally meet you."

"Anyone can join. We have low standards," Lucas smirks. He goes over to the box Duke hauled in and opens it up.
