The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

[Ozmar]

"Oh, well, I guess I should go meet him. Or maybe he should come here, or ... " Van stops when he realizes he's waffling out loud. Flopping down in the captain's chair, he decides the less he moves, the fewer decisions he has to make.

"Right, then. I'll just sit here and ... assess. CECCE, go ahead and send the XO up when he gets a chance."

"Certainly Captain. I would love to do that. In the meantime, may I introduce Lt. Commander Gabriel Dane?" The sound of the bridge door opening is followed by the steps of someone entering the bridge.

 

[Ozmar]

"Yes, indeed. Good luck on your assignment."

You easily make your way to the ship, arriving shortly after the captain boards for the first time.

When you arrive, a holoprojected human female suddenly materializes before you and says "Welcome, Commander Dra'Ked." (This image actually pronounces your name with the same inflections as a native seshayan. And as you look at her, you realize that the holoprojection is set on a very low luminosity. You can see it just fine, but you wonder if a human, with their weak eyes, would even notice.) "I am Cee-Cee, your ship's artificial intelligence. I hope you will find your stay on board to be enjoyable."

The holo-image continues... "Captain Curran awaits your presence on the bridge. I would be happy to lead you there if you wish."

"Certainly Captain. I would love to do that. In the meantime, may I introduce Lt. Commander Gabriel Dane?" The sound of the bridge door opening is followed by the steps of someone entering the bridge.

Van stands and turns to see the man who entered. He mentally flips through the files from the administrator, then he finds it.

"Dane. You're the ... " his smile falters a bit as his mouth catches up to his memory "... Mind Knight. Yes. I ... pleasure to meet you. I'm Van. But you probably already know that. Um ... is it redundant for me to talk to you?"

Stepping into the room with a measured pace Gabriel brings himself just outside of arms reach of the Captain. Presenting a salute Gabriel takes a moment to get a feel for the man before him. "Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Dane, reporting for duty."

With the formality out of the way Gabriel takes a breath to begin answering questions. "Yes sir, I am an Knight of the Da'Shan Order."

With a slight smile that almost seems to pour from his eye, Gabriel almost seems to radiate a sense of calm as he speaks. "Yes sir. And it is a pleasure to meet you as well. But if at all possible I would rather just be known as Gabriel. I am afraid I am not quite used to the Rank that has been bestowed upon me."

Almostwith the blink of an eye, the calm feelings are joined by a air of mystery that is almost palpable. "No sir. I am here to assist you in any way I can."

Liriani:

Administrator Jocelyn Kara, of the Galactic Concord, has asked you to join her on the maiden voyage of a newly commissioned vessel, the CSS Pacific.

Administrator Kara is an impressively tall woman with long dark hair and Borealan features. She wears elaborate and formal robes and carries the tri-staff of her office. She greets you warmly and bids to to be seated while she explains her vision.

"Greetings, Laera Lopez. It is a great pleasure to meet you at last. I've long been an admirer of your music and of your dedication to supporting the Concord and our Grand Mission of Peace. This Vision is inspirational, and your music brings the inspiration of the heart to the ears and souls of those who hear it."

"I believe that this Vision has transformative powers. Those who hear your music are touched by the vision, but those who dedicate their lives to the fulfillment of the mission find themselves caught up in its power, and are transformed. Their inner, better natures are brought out to fulfill the roles that their destiny demands. I believe that your music can have the same type of transformative effect, preparing all who hear it to let Peace have a chance to enter their lives."

"That is why your calling is so important. Your gift for music is a gift for Peace. You are more important to this military than 1,000 warriors. Anyone can fight, but that only breeds more war. Your gift is rare, and it is the gift that brings Peace. Will you help us achieve this vision: the vision of Peace for all humankind and for all sentient beings in the galaxy?"

[I'm assuming you say "Yes", especially since the OMIG has already assigned you to this ship and your agent has negotiated an X3D vid deal based on your upcoming voyage.]

"Excellent! You have no idea how grateful I am to have you on board the Pacific. Your agent has all the details. I wish you a blessed and peaceful journey. Do you have any questions?"

Lucas:

After the captain leaves the cargo bay, the crew relaxes and goes about their duties.

Ebon follows the captain as Caine leads him through a tour of the ship toward the bridge.

Duke: "Hmpf. Some captain! Looks like a punk kid if you ask me."

Friday: "No one asked you, Duke." She walks over to you, Lucas. "So what did you think of him, sir? He look like trouble? Think he'll be nosy?" Just as you've set up a hammock in the cooler section of the environmental controls, Friday has set herself a sleeping area in the back of the engine room, out of the way and out of sight. You also know that she's smuggled a cat on board, and the cat lives back among the engines.

Greetings Cee-Cee. Thank you. I shall follow. Following the AI, Dra'Ked wondered what sort of captain he was assigned to as he his eyes flicked across the hulls of the ship, studying the design.

With a slight smile that almost seems to pour from his eye, Gabriel almost seems to radiate a sense of calm as he speaks. "Yes sir. And it is a pleasure to meet you as well. But if at all possible I would rather just be known as Gabriel. I am afraid I am not quite used to the Rank that has been bestowed upon me."

Van noticeably relaxes. "Thank goodness. You can call me Van. I'm the same way about all this social stratifying, just between you and me..." He pauses a moment and looks around the deck, amending sheepishly "... and Ebon, I guess. And Caine. Then, a little louder, looking up at the ceiling. "And CECCE. Can't forget CECCE, right?"

Almost with the blink of an eye, the calm feelings are joined by a air of mystery that is almost palpable. "No sir. I am here to assist you in any way I can."

Having learned from his previous faux pas, Van closes in before continuing, lowering his voice considerably. "Um, just so we're clear, are you--with the mind-reading, is that an always on sort of thing?"

OOC: Ignore what was here before. Posted too soon.

[sblock]No, ma'am, no questions. I'm very happy to be a part of the solution, you can count on me. Liriani flashes her a smile and strides aboard the Pacific.[/sblock]
