The Peacemakers - Alternity, Star*Drive Campaign

[Ozmar]

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.

"Right this way, sir." The holo-image walks into the corridor and vanishes, being replaced by guidelights and a friendly female voice. "The bridge is right this way."

Presently, you are led to the bridge of the ship, which is occupied by three humans and a mechalus.

The holo-image of CECCE is also present, and announces your arrival. "Captain," she says in a welcoming tone, "may I present Commander Dra'Ked? We're all here, and isn't it wonderful!" She finishes with some kind of giggling sound that grates on your ears.

 

[Ozmar]

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?"

"Right, sir!" The holo-image of CECCE flashes a brilliant smile.

As you are continuing your conversation, the doors open and a seshayan deftly slides onto the bridge.
"Captain," CECCE says in a welcoming tone, "may I present Commander Dra'Ked? We're all here, and isn't it wonderful!" She giggles in a pleasing, yet somewhat odd manner.

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

Lucas mentally filed away Duke's commentary for future reference.

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.

"He didn't seem too curious so far, but we don't have a lot of data to work with. He didn't ask why I was late," Lucas smirked. What else can I get away with?

Lucas looked down the way the captain went and shrugged. "Guess we'll find out."

 

[Ozmar]

Ozmar:
[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]

As you board the pacific, you see that CJ-5 is already present with your skycar, and is busy unloading your things. There is also a large military man with a scar and short, dark hair. He is pretty handsome, in a rough and dangerous sort of way. He sees you as you enter and stares: "Is that Laera Lopez?" he says, somewhat stupidly.

A holoimage of a young girl in a military dress appears before you, and speaks in a pleasant voice, "Greetings, Miss Lopez. I am Cee-Cee, Pacific's artificial intelligence. Welcome aboard! Is there anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable? I would be happy to lead you to your quarters or give you an overview of the vessel."

Lucas looked down the way the captain went and shrugged. "Guess we'll find out."

As your talking, a skycar cruises into the bay and lands noisily.

"What the frack-" Duke exclaims.

CECCE appears and says, "Oh, this must be our passenger. Please allow me to handle the details. Duke, could you please stay and help unload the supplies?"

Friday says "Let's get out of here before we're roped into this as well," as she ducks out of the bay, heading back to engineering.

As you are continuing your conversation, the doors open and a seshayan deftly slides onto the bridge.
"Captain," CECCE says in a welcoming tone, "may I present Commander Dra'Ked? We're all here, and isn't it wonderful!" She giggles in a pleasing, yet somewhat odd manner.

Even behind his sunglasses, it's easy to see Van's eyes have gone wide at the sight of the seshayan. His smile big and genuine, he waves Dra'Ked over.

"You know, I couldn't believe it when I read the file and saw I got a seshayan on the crew. I have to tell you, I am completely fascinated with what I've read about your physiology. And those are--wow, the wings and the tail are even more impressive in person, aren't they?"

The gush stops for a moment, and a slight blush replaces it. Van grabs the back of his neck, more restrained. "Sorry. I get a little excited sometimes. I'm Van. Curran. The captain. Of the Pacific." The string of amendments stops and Van simply nods his head, more or less back in control. "Good to meet you."

Almost as an afterthought he remembers to salute.

Friday says "Let's get out of here before we're roped into this as well," as she ducks out of the bay, heading back to engineering.

"Damn straight," Lucas heads the same way. Once clear of the cargo bay, Lucas glances back and ahead to make sure they're momentarily alone.

"I'd make sure the ... you know ... sticks to the back of the compartment. There's enough space behind the tachyon emitter and if he's checking back there, he'll probably be counting every screw anyway."

[sblock]Laera rolls her head around her neck, feeling the muscles loosen a bit. She looks right at the man and flashes him a great big smile. "Thank you Cee-Cee, I am a bit hungry, who do I see about that," Laera asks. Before Cee-Cee can respond she shoots out another question, "Is there a place onboard that has plenty of floorspace so that I can practice my dancing?"[/sblock]

Gabriel Dane - Mindwalker - Espion/Telepath (Mind Knight)

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?"

His face still a stoic mask even as the the Captain steps forward. Gabriel inwardly chuckles at Van' words. "No sir. Most ability is a result of the desire and will of the individual."

"What, Pixel? Oh, she'll be all right. Anyway, once we're in drivespace, what's he gonna do, right?" Friday shrugs as though there's nothing the captain could do about it.
