[IC] Transcendent: Darkness Rising (A Sci-Fi Roleplay)

[SimplyJohn]

The design of the ship pulling into the dock was unfamiliar to Felix, and he took that as a good sign. If he didn't know what it was then most likely none of his former associates would either. Making his way into the bay he quickly spotted a disparate group of individuals standing at the top of the cargo ramp, possibly crew members embarking the ship or specialists boarding for a specific mission. At first glance Felix immediately spotted the large, angular form of what could only be a Vexi in what appeared to be an armoured suit accompanied by two children. "Probably a bodyguard, or a nanny..." He muttered to himself, slipping around the side of the ship towards the main hold. A ground crew of technicians and engineers were busily loading large cargo pallets from one of the many floating transport platforms as he stepped passed them, helping himself to one of the smaller boxes as he slipped into line with the others. For several minutes he simply worked alongside the others, who accepted another pair of hands easing the workload as readily as any other minimum wage drone. It wasn't until the work was almost done that anyone even questioned his presence there. "Who the hell are you?" Bellowed the foreman of the work party, his eyes darting between the dataslab in his hands and the group of peons before him. The others in the group, a mixture of mainly Vexi and Kotorians, began to shuffle away from the interloper as the Machinas approached, his low-grade optical implant whirring noisily as it tried to focus on Felix's face. "I'm with the station's health board." Felix quickly blurted out, swearing to himself almost as soon as he had. It'd be difficult to substantiate a claim like that, especially if the cyborg in front of him had any sort of live feed to the station's database, but it was too late to back out of the lie now. Quickly lifting his hand he flashed an electro-tattoo bearing the official seal of the station's central authority, something his 'friends' had helped him acquire shortly before his journey. Thinking back now those same friends must've been the ones who tipped Crystal off, the seal was an obscure enough piece of intel to have let her know exactly where to find him. "I've been asked to complete a quick health and safety check of the ship before launch. It's possible there may be problems with the fluids intake and protein banks which may lead to long-term storage problems on the station and so we'd like to ensure everything is up to spec before accepting the waste materials." Felix rambled, growing more comfortable with his role as a health inspector with each new word spilling from his lips. Even he didn't know quite what he was talking about, but it seemed impressive enough for the foreman to back down a little. After a long, quiet moment the foreman shrugged his shoulders with a grunt and gestured towards the cargo hold. "Be my guest, we're done here anyways." And with a wave of his hand he turned to lead the rest of his gang back towards a now empty transport platform. As he climbed onboard and the others scurried up behind him Felix turned away with a smile and made his way onto the ship, hoping the ruckus hadn't drawn any unwanted attention.

Adi listened to the organic life forms conversation, while also noting the name chosen that each individual called the android. As the Vexi offered to show him around, Adi nodded in a gracious matter before looking to the bunny chimera as he asked a question to the Other Chimera. After the question would be answered and studying Kaite's sudden mood change, the Android looked to the Vexi. "Ready and awaiting to follow, Doctor Sel'Valrok."

[Kitsune]

Sel nodded, gesturing with one hand to follow her while the other lifted her bag over her shoulder. She did not mind showing the android around, she had spent so much time around them that the whole uncanny valley thing that they had going on didn't bother her, besides human ones were far less creepy than their attempt to make a life like Vexi android... "So, what will be your task on the ship, or are you just here to get assigned by Ray?" She asked casually before pointing out the cargo bay, some basic mechanical gear located in there such as the straps and the small lift for bringing heavier objects onto the ship. Next stop was to head up and show the insides proper.

Riblou scratched his head, thinking hard about kaite's question."Well, the captain has this real special pod for me. He says it's real old so it ain't as good as the other ones, but it's the only pod big enough. He told me that uh... the effects of hypersleep last longer after I wake up so I's real slow when I wake up... I did have dream though! But... if were real strange and uh... I can only 'member sum of it... do you want me to tell ya anyway?" Riblou really hoped kaite thought he had answered well, he didn't want to disappoint kaite, since he was in charge, next to the captain of course.

[Hawlin]

Kaite figured the dream couldn't be any weirder than his, although he supposed he knew it not to really be a dream. Hearing about Riblou's accommodation left a bad taste in Kaite's mouth. The poor beast was slow enough as he was without the cryosickness. The was a long pause as Kaite looked out at the docks, his fingers remaining still as he panned through the manifest with his eyes. It wouldn't be likely that they'd be picking up another, but it was still worth waiting around for a bit longer before sloughing it off onto the guards. "If you vould like to share. I haf been...interested...in dreams, lately" He said, lifting off his eyepatch, the amber glint of bioluminescence from his other eye catching the screen. He rubbed his eyes, suppressing a yawn, still grappling with a slight headache from his own cryosickness which left him groggy. Kaite slid it back over his mint eye, giving the other one a break from the screen. It had been a while since the nightmares mostly stopped, leaving Kaite with slurries of images and feeling while he slept that he didn't entirely understand. These new dreams having been taken as foreign and almost scarier than what he had grown used to. He hoped to gather information from others as to better answer his own questions. On the topic of sleep, the idea of getting to sleep in his own bed sounded divine beyond all rational expressions that he could manage in his state. That being said, there was still quite a bit of work to be done before he should be thinking such thoughts. I can still dream... :T Well, at least I have puns down.

Things seemed to be going a little too easily for Felix as he strode down the corridors and deeper into the ship. The crew seemed too busy preparing for their upcoming mission to stop and query the stranger wandering amongst them, but he knew it would only be a matter of time before a security patrol spotted him and started asking uncomfortable questions. Stopping for a moment he consulted a nearby terminal, bringing up the ship's directory before quickly heading off towards the transport tubes and the crew quarters. Stepping onto the deck Felix adopted the casual gait of someone who belonged where they were, rather than skulking like someone trying to sneak around, and with purposeful steps made his way towards one of the nearby cabins. Slipping his data-spike out of his wrist he slipped it into the panel beside the sealed door and a moment later the entrance opened in front of him. Making his way inside Felix resealed the door behind him and relaxed. He should have a few moments out of sight here to do what needed to be done. Concentrating he brought up the recordings from his optical implant, specifically the observations he'd made of the crew's uniforms and dress code. Quickly forming a 3D model in his mind he downloaded the information to his suit, which began to swirl around him as it reconfigured to the new design. Less than a minute later he stepped back out into the corridor, now dressed it what appeared to be a standard-issue uniform of non-commissioned crewman. With a satisfied grin he tugged at the sleeve, making sure the cuff was properly set around his wrist, before heading back towards the transport tube. Time to introduce himself to his new shipmates, and find himself some chow.

[Silver Fox]

ADI obiediently followed the Vexi, examining the surroundings and examining them, memorizing and putting necessary information in its database. As the organic lifeform asked a question, clearly more comfortable around the android compared to the rabbit chimera. "Main Directive: To serve the crew the best of this units abilities. Including cooking, cleaning, ship or equipment maintenance, assistance with communications, serving organic whims, and assisting in combat. A specific post is up to the Captains command." Adi answered in a smooth instant reply. Studying the cargo bay as it was pointed out, Adi's blue eyes made a computerized note of its location before continuing to follow the Vexi. "Is there particular services that I may assist you, Doctor Sel Valrok?" the android asked as it looked to her.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Achieng took a slow breath, trying to relax herself as she rolled up to the ship she'd been assigned to. To say that she was nervous was an understatement. While her training as a counselor was long complete, there hadn't been a place for her. Now, this new ship had been made aware of her upcoming assignment, and she had been told that there was a rooming space specifically for her. To think, her first off-planet journey since she had left home. It made her nervous and excited and her tail-fin was swishing endlessly in her tank, putting the water surrounding in into an endless churn. She saw a few others as she approached the Alto, and she smiled a polite smile, one that did not reveal her teeth. "Excuse me, where do I go to report my attendance?"

[Kitsune]

Sel continued on as the robot spoke, stopping at the main hallway which lead to all the other locations of the ship, what a better place to give out the basic layout than right here right? Though first she had to answer ADI's question. He seemed rather eager to work and all but so soon even before take off was a little too enthusiastic. "Well I have not even set up myself yet, I was just going to go and see Ray about if I get my normal spot. While there we can get a job for you too ok?" As she stated that she turned around before starting to give the location where each door lead to, simply enough really but she suspected the robot coul;d just download a map from ray or something if it really needed too so she did not put too much detail into it.

[agentmanatee]

Riblou looked confused at the oddity who had just rolled up to the ship, literally. It was a lady, in a rolling water tank, with a fish tail. He was caught off guard enough that he forgot what he was about to say about his dream,"Uh..." the huge man leaned in to look closer at her face, "Are you a fish chimera? I ain't neva seen one with a tail before... and why are you sitting in that little tank that rolls around?" He looked at kaite very confused "Have you ever seen that before kaite?" Getting quite off topic from their previous conversation

"No, I am not a chimera." Achi maintained her smile, having been told to expect such questions. Her race was not so well-traversed in the galaxy, and they turned heads just because of their unknown status. "I am a Watumaji, I am Achieng, of Clan Chima." She inclined her head politeness, and then pointed to the badge around her neck. It held her name and status on the ship- as she was not a soldier she didn't have a ranking. She ran her webbed fingers through her short, seafoam white hair as she continued to explain. "The tank is to keep me wet and for mobility. As I cannot move well on land, it is for my travels." She toyed with the edges of her tunic, which was brilliant green and gold, and felt like home. "I have been told that it is akin to a... wheel-chair for a bipedal whose legs do not function. Is this correct?"

[ShiningSector]

Checking through the operational checklists, Rayland could see that the cargo loading was nearly complete and the crew rosters were just about accounted for. Sweeping through the network, he could confirm with the ever data pinging Towan was assigning living quarters work stations to the new personnel whom have checked-in with Kaite outside; the VI had also compiled an up-to-date list of all the loaded equipment currently either being setup in the inner stations or locked up in storage for later use. At least that’s one more thing he didn't have to observe, at least not for very long. Automatic systems in the frigate began to green light operational readiness across his virtual HUD, indicating each rudimentary function operating at maximum efficiency. The only systems still pending for complete confirmation were the core power and fuel reserves. Admittedly, the journey to Falymar Station had proved taxing on the old vessel’s stockpiles, even through the month long trip through slips-space which demands consistent energy to maintain key functions such life support and warp propulsion. Then again, Towan was always an energy hog as well so Rayland jokingly blamed the old VI for its inefficiencies on that subject too. It wasn't before long that Rayland came across an inbound sync request intercepted by the ship’s cyber-wall. He frowned while gazing upon it, learning that the entreaty was repeatedly flashed the official seal of Force Commander Arik of the Howling Sun; his to be CO. The chain of command feeling he once felt years as an AISC echoed down his nerves from the back of his conscious. Familiar as it appeared, the concept was something Rayland was not looking forward to, especially where this obvious meeting was going to lead into. It was quite obvious really but he couldn’t complain; he did sign up for this. With a sigh, Rayland leaned back into his seat, making himself comfortable for what was about to come. “Towan.” He said aloud, “I have call I need to take, you have the bridge.” “Understood Captain Rayland Sul’tari, assuming temporary post.” The virtual of eye of Towan replied. With command shifted for the moment, Rayland closed his eyes, ending all excess though processed as he accepting the sync request through the local net. In an instant, all senses of the real world collapsed as his consciousness was pulled away from his own physical form before resurfacing in the digital environment of the Cyberverse. Reality as his mind interpreted it had been altered into a weave of data streams and interconnected spire frames, transiting glittering and pulsating particles through the endless multitude of information highways spreading into the dark representations of wide and distant space. Many times before has Rayland visited this strange digital mirror of actuality where he would converse with friends, family, but most importantly, his business partners from faraway star systems. Upon close inspection, the universe he now resided in was a virtual of the docks he remembered currently being anchored to. The ghostly silhouettes of the actual dock crews walked around and even though him as sensory images feedbacking into the environment “Ah, so you’ve made it.” came the echoing voice of Arik. “We can now begin.” Rayland turned his head to see the Ascended Commander sitting across a large table where on the opposite side sat several other captains of the Commander's force. Some of the members like him who took the job were also among the group. He walked to the meeting table and took the open seat clearly meant for him. Like in reality, he leaned back in the chair as it altered its form code to compliment his leaning profile; he knew this was going to be a long one.

[Hawlin]

Kaite watched Riblou as he took his time to think. It was just standard procedure for the boy not to ask Riblou anything unless he wasn't in any sort of hurry since it often took a bit or he'd get distracted and forget what he was thinking about. Kaite found this tiring at times, although he was the one that often engaged in such conversations. That in mind, he found it hard to be mad at the big lunk. With a sigh, Kaite recomposed himself, having gotten comfortable leaning on the railing which he felt seemed unprofessional, especially with one more rolling up the gangplank. He was a little curious, himself, having never heard of aquatic chimeras. Something about the process of DNA splicing made it easier for mammalian species than any others. That and how inconvenient the tank...tank seemed. Kaite fluttered his tail at Riblou's mention of having never seen a chimera with one, though mostly ignored it, tapping a finger in Achieng's direction. With a green highlight and a check next to the name, he smirked, softly. "Here, conveniently enough" he chuckled after her introduction, clutching his menu hand into a fist for a couple seconds, closing the crew manifest upon its apparent completion. "Velcome to zeh Infamous Alto, I am Officer uf Operations Jericho Kaite...ehrm, zough I suppose right now I am zeh Administrative Assistant..." he went on, sounding a bit unsure of his position. It was never entirely established what he was on the ship, having just barely been around for a year, or, at the very least, he'd forgotten what it was. He shook his head in a dismissive manner before asking, "Iz zehr any luggage I can help you vith?" The thought also occurred to him that he should probably let Riblou get to work...and that her luggage may very well be included in the mess that was almost finished being loaded onto the ship.

[SimplyJohn]

The mess hall was practically empty as Felix stepped through the door and was almost knocked off his feet by an attractive redhead coming the other way with a hot cup of caffeine in her hand. With a twist of his ankle he pivoted himself around her, flowing passed as she stumbled into the space he'd been standing a moment before, her face awash with surprise. It took her a moment to realise what had just almost happened as she stood turning her head back and forth, trying to work out exactly why she hadn't slammed into the newcomer in the brief moment he'd had to react to her. "Did I just..?" She asked gesturing with her cup and sloshing an ample helping down the front of Felix's 'uniform'. He looked down with a sigh as the NVP garment quickly changed colour, mimicking a stain as the liquid was harmlessly absorbed into the material. "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry." The woman said, raising her free hand to cover her mouth. "No problem," Felix responded with a roguish grin, "Accidents happen." From out of his sleeve he materialises a handkerchief and began dabbing at the coloured mark, pretending to be cleaning it away as the fabrics reverted back to their original colour. "See, all gone." He said with a smile and a flourish. "By the way, I'm Ensign Fletcher Dickinson, but my friends call me Felix. And you would be..?" The woman simply starred at Felix for a moment as he stood bending forwards in an old-fashioned bow, one hand held forwards in greeting. "I'm Kate, I mean Lieutenant Kathleen McCloud from the Navigation department. Are you new to the ship? I haven't seen you aboard before." Taking her hand Felix gently kissed the back of it before stroking his fingers over the warm flesh. His luck was certainly beginning to change, and he began to wonder if there were any more beautiful creatures like Kate on board. "I just came aboard," He answered, with complete honesty, "Just think of me as the morale officer for our little voyage." Pulling her hand away with a smile Kate took a nervous sip from her cup as she smiled back at Felix. "In that case I'm glad to have you aboard. If the rumours I've heard about the mission are to be believed we're going to be needing all the morale we can muster." Felix's grin faltered for a moment as he heard her comment, and he was just about to ask her exactly what she meant by it when Kate glanced quickly at her chronograph and quickly turned to leave. "Speaking of missions, I'm supposed to be on duty so I'd better get back to my post. You should think of doing the same. Hope I see you again soon." With that Kate was off out the door, which quickly closed behind her even as his eyes lingered on her delightfully departing derriere. A gnawing sensation filled his belly, and in that moment Felix knew he had to get off the ship before Kate's premonition came to pass. His only problem now was how to slip back onto the station without raising any suspicions. If he was lucky news of his boarding would get back to Crystal and if he could find somewhere to lay low on the station for a few days she might head off after it when it left. Then again, the way his luck seemed to be going lately he'd probably end up in a sarlacc pit.

[Silver Fox]

As they continued on, Adi continued examining its surroundings, listening to the Vexi. Of course Adi already had a downloaded map and had pretty much processed where everything was and the crew member information that was included in the database, but it was also better to see things with its optical sensors. Plus it usually made organics feel better. "Affirmative." Adi responded to Sel's suggestion about requesting a set position from the Captain.

[Kitsune]

Sel would take Adi up to where the captain was located, the bridge hopefully, given he was meant to be working on getting them shipped off and on this new mission that they had been placed on. She would have to remind herself to ask him about just what information he had on this, as it may differ from her own given the union did not feel like sharing all the information. "Right he is just her-, Ah" Standing on the bridge now she saw that Ray was currently out of it, must have been doing something important but at least Towan was here. Walking closer she placed her back onto Ray's lap as if he was not even there, more like just to make his legs tired when he woke up. "Towan, It seems we are getting more than a few new crew in huh? Adi here is one of them, I suspect you and him are going to be working very close together given he is a android and all. Also Adi this is Towan"

[ShiningSector]

Towan’s holographic sphere swiveled in place, facing Sel and Adi the moment the virtual intelligence’s name was mentioned. “Yes, that would be correct Doctor Sel'Varok.” replied Towan in its usual fashion of addressing both title and full name of the individual it was speaking too. The ship’s VI spoke with little to no personality but given Towan’s more direct sounding behavior; it seemed obvious that the VI was constructed with the concept of getting to the point above all else. “ADI Mark V, your profile has already been reviewed; your contribution to the crew and the Infamous Alto's operation and success is very much appreciated.” - ------------------------------------------------- - “Excellent, we seem to be right on schedule.” voiced Force Commander Arik at the meeting table after what seemed like an hour of everyone submitting their operational status and ETAs. However how long time seemed to flow through the Cyberverse, in flowed alongside reality in mere seconds. Of course this can only be made possible locally. As data and communications travel through deep space and making contact with each satellite node to which accelerates the information to the next node over, the latency with each reply may last only a matter of minutes; a marveling concept given most planets or starships may be separated by several thousand light years apart. But the very fact alone is what has everyone so spooked about the mission. Nothing but silence was the only thing known the moment communications were lost. “I won’t bore you all with what’s already known and you all have already been briefed about this situation…And what is at stake.” Arik continued, “…The Galactic Coalition believes that the disappearances in Solarian League and Bel’Kian Concordance space is the result of an active invasion. The loss of communication with the colonies provides a tactical advantage for any possible invader in preventing military information or an SOS from being sent out and leaving us in the dark to our own devices...” “Could this occurrence also be the result a coordinated attack from a terrorist or radical cell?” spoke a young officer from what Rayland could gather as he turned his attention to the origin of the voice. “My query reflects the tactics observed during the military coup on Hidien IV and V. Several cells have also been confirmed operating light-years away from these colonies.” Rayland could make out some conversations now being stirred up by this established fact. “Biological weapons were used in that coup too. Hidien V is hardly considered habitable now because of that mess.” came another voice; this one coming from a more gruff and senior officer, possibly a captain. “Were there any reports of Stellar activity in those sectors prior before communications went dark?” “No reports were given. Those kinds of phenomena would be easy to track and predict. Solar flare or supernova alerts would have been issued long before any temporary or permanent damage could be done. Everyone would have been evacuated in time. “Likely possibilities gentleman and I do share your formulated theories as well.” the moment Arik’s commanding voice reemerged, all side conversations ceased. “Until we are given more information on these recent events, it will be assumed that a hostile force is the cause of the disappearances. Though to ease some of your concerns, we have brought in several specialists into our fold in case an invasion is disproven. Moving forward…” The table in the heart of the discussion suddenly began to glow, producing a digital image of the entire galaxy for everyone to observe. Immediately following-up afterwards, several blips popped in, identifying each colony now reported as ‘gone dark’. The present animation continued as a portion of the galactic map was pulled up, highlighting three more colonies before a representation of the expeditionary fleet came into view. “Here’s the ground work for Operation Trident…The entire expeditionary force will deploy from Falymar Station and travel to the Andraste Quadrant via slispace. As you can see, Andraste is the closest quadrant next to populated space and thus demands our full attention. Upon arrival and while still in transit, the flotilla will break into 3 groups, each lead by a Skirmish Carrier…” Force Commander Arik then personally highlighted his group. “…Our group here will be lead by the Howling Sun; our primary target is the Quox system, specifically the planet Ebrillon.” On cue, the map zoomed inward more, showing the Quox star system and then Ebrillon. “Assuming an enemy force has positioned and fortified itself around the planet, our battlegroup will exit slipspace close to the edge of the system. Our late scouts had exited within visual range of Ebrillon before contact was lost so we’ll be playing this safe…” The more Rayland continued to follow and dissect Arik’s strategy, the more he began to feel dread and regret churning in his stomach. He and his crew knew the risks and it was already too late to back out now, but he could not shake the uneasy feeling that was slowly enveloping him. That a heavy burden of responsibility for his crew mounting its weight on his shoulders and …Thighs? An unexpected and illogical feeling he couldn’t understand as to why it existed alongside his worries. His thoughts did not dwell on this for long and he quickly written it off as faulty neural reaction due to synchronization. Rayland then refocused his attention back to Arik’s session. “…we’ll begin a slow approach here, using long range scanners to chart out the surrounding space, especially for any defensive fortifications. If in the event a hostile fleet is present, all transport ships will evacuate back to the exit point and await further instructions from the Howling Sun. However if there is no confirmed threat occupying Ebrillon’s local space or orbit, landing operations will begin after tactical observations deem it safe to land on the surface…” The holographic representation of Ebrillon zoomed in to the planet’s surface, revealing the blueprints of a massive hive city structure. The megalopolis resembled that of an immensely large and wide sky scraper cultivating its structural influence deep underground as well. Its concept was to develop a single area for colony development without the need to construct more cities across the planet. The basis was more towards geographic and ecosystem isolation with the eventual requirement for development for an orbital elevator to support larger vessels that are unable to perform atmospheric entry to their incredible mass. Upon further inspection was a starport being highlighted on the holographic display. “This starport here will serve as a beachhead for phase one of the landing efforts...” Arik pointed out to the assembly to which Rayland’s job was now being addressed. “The transport ships ferrying equipment and personnel will dock with the starport once AISCs secure the structure. Through this process we will attempt to make contact with anyone inside the city. Depending on our findings, phase two will begin after this port here, close the apex of the city is under control. This will allow dropships to bring supplies directly into the structure…” After Commander Arik’s sentence ended, the holograph soon faded into nothingness. Already whispers amongst the personnel began to pick up. “This concludes our known strategy for this expedition. Additional tasks will soon follow depending on the situation we encounter on Ebrillon. I predict that many of you have many concerns and questions about the groundwork laid out here so now is the time to ask them.”

[Silver Fox]

ADI gave a slight nod as the Vexi introduced the ship VI known as Towan. Considering Captain Rayland was currently synchronized into Cyberverse and therefore would not be answering any questions until the call ended. As Towan got to the point, a expected action for a military virtual intelligence, Adi slowly nodded in response to words of appreciation. "Company Hybrid sends their regards and are eager to assist. Is there a particular post the Captain has planned for this unit?" The android asked.

[ShiningSector]

De-synchronization was something that the mind could never get used to; it was like a reversing flood of thoughts and memories as the brain pulls away from the strands of virtual cognition that tied it to the Cyberverse. Though brief as it was, the resurge of old and new information however felt like it could last another lifetime until the mind reconnected back to the real world. The worst part of course of the brain then trying to re-wire its many functions back into the place so the body may behave correctly. This normally afflicted the sense which would eventually be corrected though the lasting effects varied. Just when the de-sync completed, Rayland moved his hands to his face, groaning as felt the light of the bridge pierce through his eyelids. With a free hand, he managed to disconnect the wire from the back of his neck as it withdrew coiled back into his seat. As he continued to force his eyes into acceptance, Rayland quickly began to realize that he still could not feel his legs since the meeting With forced curiosity, Rayland bended forward and pulled to his hand away from his sight, finding someone’s luggage was place on his thighs and kept there for the past several minutes. He came to a pause upon this strange discovery but quickly did he find the culprit and the newcomber along with Towan staring at him, as if awaiting his next action or command. “…I see you’ve came quite prepared Sel…” sighed Rayland. “Your tasks aboard the Infamous Alto, ADI Mark V, will be the general maintaining of the vessel’s facilities and primary systems…” Continued Towan after Rayland blurted into the conversation. “…And a position in the Galley. Based on your skill assets, you’ll make a fine addition to the facility.”

[Kitsune]

Sel was listening to the two machines talk it out, a rather straight forward affair compared to trying to tell a organic what to do that was for sure. Either way Adi now knew its job, which was apparently the galley, huh that was unexpected, so Sel was about to turn around and grab her bag once again, though as she did so she heard the captain speak which made what could only be described as a smile cross her lips. Reaching up she removed her helm before speaking to Ray, placing it under her arm. "Ah, thank you. You found my bag for me. Also yes, if this is going to be as big a job as you told me then I have to, otherwise you die... When you die my paycheck dries up, see where I am going with this?" She said picking the bag off the guys poor legs, giving them a rest. "So, I suspect you have been talking to the higher ups? Did they mention anything we should know?"
