The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

Van

Van sits on the deck, idly going over everything in his mind, trying to remember what sort of protocols ambassadors need, struggling to recall if he's read anything about Sesheyan wing structure, wondering if he can look up anything about functional wing mutations like their star passenger. Then he remembers he has another resource. Best to start with official inquiries.

"CeCe, what can you tell me about this ambassador we're picking up?" he says to the ceiling.

"Never heard of it," Did they beat the sin out of you? "Where's the Order from? Just keep him talking about himself instead of thinking of things for me to do.

Raising his head and looking as if in the past Gabriels smile widens as he remembers his home. "Well it was a small place and they liked their privacy. It was on the island of Japan, more specifically the city of New Tokyo. It was fortunate as the entire enclave was dedicated to the development, study, and training of mindwalkers." Taking a moment he visualizes many of his old friends, and the times they had together. Knowing that many people prefer to keep their past a mystery Gabriel carefully opens the subject of to Lucas. "What about you....where did you grow up?"

"Japan? New Toyko? Never heard of them," Lucas shrugs.

"What about you....where did you grow up?"

Lucas immediately summoned to mind his assumed history, "Trantal. It's in Insight space." Keep the initials the same, easier to cover slips. Go ahead. Ask me anything. I did my research.

OOC: I'm a HUGE geography geek. Sometimes playing Lucas is strange.

Trying to recall what he can Gabriel brow furrows just a bit. "I am afraid I know very little of the Insight systems. But I would welcome a chance to know more. What was Trantal like?"

"Binary system, about twenty light-years from the Rigunmor border. It has a decent Grid. Pretty average as planets go. I grew up on the secondary continent in the subtropics, in Port Weston."

Nodding his head as Lucas continues, Gabriel tries to file the information for future perusal. "I must say that sounds fascinating." With a his slight grin growing into a full smile he continues. "But then compared to the monastery anything would be. They kinda went out of their way to keep distractions at a minimum. Or at least that was their term for fun, I think. So what did you do for fun?"

"Watching agricultural robots haul in harvests and ships landing and leaving," Lucas tells Gabriel. "They used to haul us out to a farm and make us work for a part of the harvest. Up in the mountains, the robots didn't do so well. A thirty-meter harvester has a lot of trouble negotiating valleys. So we got to sleep in equipment sheds and storage barns with the rest of the animals. It was supposed to build character or something." Lucas's tone leaves no doubts as to his skepticism about the redeeming quality of physical labor, but the muscles showing through his skintight bodysuit look little like the legacy of watching machines go by.

Dra'ken continues to study the interactions between their engineer and gridpilot and the Lt. Commander. "I was under the impression that being a renegade computer division, Insight did not engage in significant agricultural activity," Dra'ken says, stirring slightly, recalling his knowledge of the various stellar nations.

"I believe that Hatire and Nariac are the primary exporters of agriculture products. Your role as agricultural labor seems particularly odd given your proclivity for technology and expensive mutations." Dra'ken simply shrugs after his observation, as if the irregularities of Lucas's background were of no real concern to him...which they weren't.

"The continent had preexisting agricultural infrastructure that Insight inherited, courtesy of the former Dreth Commonwealth. There's no sense in throwing it away."

"We don't all come into our genomes by retail," Lucas says defensively. "And since Insight spent GW2 working against the Hatires' and Nariacs' ally Voidcorp, all the more reason to keep the agriculture around where it already exists. It's only one continent. The whole world wasn't a farming colony."

Turning between the two during their short interplay, Gabriel becomes fascinated by the exchange. "It makes sense for them to not waste the resources. Though I would figure they would have spent more time training subsequent generations, rather than having them doing manual labor. But then from the outside looking in, it is hard to understand the logic of their bigger picture."
