Take My Love, Take My Land (IC)

James gave Sabrina a smile as she spoke. She was a straight shooter that was for sure, but he admired that. She had an interesting accent, it was fairly new to him but he had heard it a few times, never from a woman though. He gave a slight chuckle before responding to her.

“The name is James. I am going to be the doctor for the time being on the ship. I am not looking for anything more than a simple introduction though. I appreciate the bluntness though.” He said light heartedly to her. Before he could respond anymore he heard Dex calling everyone to the cargo bay. He nodded slightly at the announcement, it would be good to meet the rest of the crew. He turned back to Sabrina. “Well looks like it’s about meeting time. It was a pleasure to meet you Sabrina” He added as he took a couple steps back from her, waiting for everyone else to meet up with them. He noticed the redhead from earlier walking into the cargo bay, he wasn’t quite sure what her role was, he had heard her speaking earlier of protection. James certainly knew better than to doubt a woman, so if she was claiming protection, he would beleive her.

Jimmy waved as the ladies left to go to the crew meeting in the cargo bay. It was probably some orientation meeting where everyone introduced each other and the Captain talked about certain issues. Pay was probably a big one on the list. He decided to wander the rest of the way back to his room and put the deck of cards away. He laid back in his bed and began to whistle a tune.

Daisy followed Morgan down to the cargo bay with curiosity. She did need a paycheck to make a living around the galaxy, but she was satisfied with her passage aboard the Liberty. She had her adventure, she was off of Persephone. What more could she want in the end?

She noticed a man and woman chatting away. She didn't recognize either of them, but one introduced himself as Jimmy to the woman, and called her Sabrina. She was awful with names. Names were never really an object in the shop. Daisy just needed the face. The woman looked strangely like a companion. A few of them wandered around Persephone, but not very many. She sat down on a cargo crate, her legs dangling off the edge as she watched everyone arrive. She was interested in meeting everyone.

Dex waited as the crew made their way into the storage bay, they seemed to have mingled well with one another as they waited for take off, no one seemed up to any trouble for now. Missing only one, Dex decided to begin and scold the other mechanic for his absence when he saw him next.

"Hello everyone, I see you have all found your way around the ship just fine. You all know this meeting is about your shares of each job we take, you will each be getting one share of an equal cut, this includes First Mate Mills and Bosco. I will be taking 1 share and Liberty will be taking 2 for supplies, fuel and parts. I'll let you all know right now, we don't plan to play nice with Alliance on my boat. Our next job involves smuggling some CooCoo Fruit off Red Rivet, Alliance don't like it because it can be used for cheap alternative medicines, so they label it dangerous narcotic and quarantine the space over the plantation. If you don't feel right with it, Red Rivet will be your last port. Do you hear me?"

Where was Ryder? Oh well after the tea and all that he had headed back to the broom closet and yes he knew he was going to run late to the meeting and yes he realized that well that was not a very good way to start this grand adventure. But he had remembered something of rather much importance to him. In the broom closet with his bag sat another smaller bag a package of sorts wrapped up securely, this little package had as of late being causing him a whole lot more trouble then he had expected, the package was one of the main reasons the Alliance did not want him to get off the planet. He looked down with it, with a sigh before begin to miraculously take apart one of the metal plates that composed of liberty's floor and he let out a sigh as he dropped the package into it securely before sealing the floor again. This little detour of his of course made him late.

So he doubled timed it back to the cargo bay and slipped in for the most part unnoticed catching the back end of Dex's little talk, he was at the back of the little gathering behind all the others who had seem to noticed him step in, well that or they did not care. He mad slight eye contact with Dex and mouthed a very simple I'm sorry I will explain later to the captain.

"Can I have all crew besides Bosco and Mills join me in the storage bay for your payroll meeting. We are starting in 5 minutes."

Lee loved the moments of leaving atmosphere where real and secondary gravity fought for control. There was a wonderful girl who would drive her shuttle along the edge on purpose to use the shifting gravity to entertain her guests in many companion ways. That reminded him that there was already another companion on ship, he would have to make introductions. Since it was a discussion of pay, he figured that now would be the time to pay for his presence on the ship, he took the spices with him and began to juggle two bags with three tucked in his belt as he made his way to the cargo deck with everyone else.

"What will be expected of us on this trip to earn a cut? Are we to play innocent and keep the alliance from looking at you too hard? Are we expected to haul and heft crate or barrel onto the ship? I am not meaning disrespect, I ask because I am in."

Aphrodite found herself alone once more in the galley and relaxed ever so slightly.
She was a Muse and knew that soon she would need to help this crew find their true talents even if they were hidden deep within.
Few outside of the Companions knew what a Muse truly was or eve the significance of their names but Aphrodite knew and that was all that mattered.
She finished her tea then put everything away and cleaned the cups then set about making the galley a more sanitary place to eat and gather.
She didn't cut corners as she scrubbed the place clean and restored it to it's most beautiful condition as they had their meeting.
Once she was finished she sat down and pulled from her belt her flute and began playing a soft and meditative tune.
She positioned herself in such a manner that displayed her serene beauty to any as they entered knowing that in doing so she'd bring a smile to their faces.
"A happy home is made where ever you are was one of her mantras

The monk spoke up in the silence of the meeting, claiming to be in and Dex noted he would have to approach him once it was over. He could see no one was reluctant in taking on the Alliance's laws and if they were with holding an issue it would boil to the surface soon enough.

"Alright then everyone to your duties, expect an ETA in the next half hour." Dex let the crew disperse as he approached the overzealous monk "You're in? If you wanted to be apart of the crew, why not say so before? Why start now?" The captain had his reasoning behind these questions.

It worried him that a passenger would want part in their fiendish activities against the alliance soon after discovering them, meaning either they are someone with equal distaste for the Alliance or aim to sabotage any lawless acts against their mighty government. Companion training or not, Dex felt he was decent at getting a read on people past their whiles.

"You didn't say you were looking for crew members when we met, all you indicated was heading to Red. When I was still a child in the guild, one of our teachers lives was saved by Coocoo fruit, I have seen its power first hand. I don't do it for you, yet, I do it to save someones life."

His face was calm, serene, he was guild trained to have a pokerface that would make a reaver wonder if he wasn't scary enough. His eyes were shaking slightly from the Nystagmus after the trauma that took his arm but otherwise he was the picture of peace. He in turn put his companion skills to use to try to read Dax, clearly he was offset by the priest and companion in one was ready to set thorn to side on the alliance but did it go deeper than that? Trust issues obviously, but was it healthy worry of his grew and ship or was it something deeper seeded?
