Robin turned to Cake as she explained her contribution to Robin's part of the plan. When Cake had finished Robin blinked twice and smiled at her. Robin asked, "Has anyone told you that you're awesome?" Robin nodded and said, "Thanks for your help and looking ahead." Robin looked at Rod and replied, "If the fate if the universe depended on me crawling under you..." Robin shook her head and said, "Well everyone it was good run. Hope you all had fun." With that Robin finished the last of her chai-latte, and then pressed a button on the wall. A hole opened in a wall at the far end of the room from everyone else. Robin had her empty cup balancing in her hand as she brought up to her head. She then shot it as though it was a basketball from across the room. The cup landed in the hole and Robin pressed the button closing the hole. Robin turned back to the crew and under her breath she said with a smile, "The shootout champion still reigns supreme."

As she walked back to the display the smile faded from her face. Robin was now going into what she called "Pre-strike mode." Her senses and focus were "all business" she wouldn't smile again until the mission was done. Robin highlighted six of the eight ovals and said, "I'll take care of these six units towards the back of the ship. If I try to do all eight their AI will know something is up. Even if I do a slow release of the gas." She turned to Nick and said, "Not to mention Captain, Pirates are scavengers and gutter trash, but they aren't stupid. Especially their Captains, they have better than average survival instincts." Robin let out a slow exhale as she said, "ISA underestimated a Pirate crew once, and we lost 12 people that day." Under her breath she said, "It should've been thirteen." Just then she felt a slight twinge of pain in her lower back. Robin knew it was psychosomatic, but the pain was real for her. She rubbed the right side of her lower back feeling the scars through her uniform.

Taking a deep breath she turned back to the crew and said, "Again I speak from first hand experience, if they figure out something is up they'll kill the hostages..." she snapped her fingers and said, "just like that. Probably shove them out of the airlock, but they will try to take us alive." Walking towards Nick, Robin said with great focus, "An ISA Captain and those of us in here would be far more valuable to the slave market than those hostages." She then turned her attention back to the crew and said, "All those stories you heard at the Academy about what they do to their prisoners..." Robin shook her head said, "Trust me on this, those stories are nothing compared to reality. I've seen them actually give prisoners blood transfusions. Just so they could keep them alive to continue torturing them. Don't underestimate them or their cruelty."

Robin walked back to the wall where she had been leaning against. She leaned against it and was now in deep thought about the nerve agent she was going to be creating. Her mind was already balancing the compounds and elements, and mixing and matching potential compounds for the antidote that the crew would need. The one thing she wasn't going to mention was handing out cyanide pills in case the mission failed. Robin wanted to but she felt she had said enough on the subject of what could go wrong...for the moment.

Aboard the I.S.S. Prize : An Episodic Sci-Fi Adventure

Robin felt a slight sting of disappointment that the wormhole would have to wait. She had been looking forward to this for weeks, but Robin was well aware of what had to be done at that moment. When they would have a mission like this her instincts and training from the Hawks would come to the surface. Robin was sitting while slowly sipping her chai-latte as everyone was contributing their ideas to the mission. She had to give the Captain credit in that he was a very good listener and was willing to incorporate other good ideas. The ideas from the others were blending in very nicely and that was when Robin had an idea of her own to contribute.

She stood up and walked over to the display of the Moray, and tapped on it showing the underside of the ship. Robin said, "I've had more than a few missions like this when I was with the Hawks." Robin never talked about her days with the Hawks to anyone. The number of times she had done it on the Prize you could count on one hand. Even if she got drunk Robin was very tight-lipped about those days. She had her reasons for keeping quiet about those days, and those reasons actually had nothing to do with a mission being classified. Robin highlighted eight oval structures scattered on the bottom of the Moray. She said, "These are connected to the environmental units." Robin turned to the group and said, "When we conducted a rescue OP like this, and if we didn't know the number of combatants we would encounter, we needed something to turn the odds a little more to our favor." Robin turned back to the display and said, "And I have an idea on how to make that happen." Robin turned to Cake and said, "I'm going to need your help to make this work, and I'll tell what that is in a minute."

Robin said to Nick, "I would go in with Alpha, and then using a gravity harness I would crawl along the underside of the ship. While I am crawling along there I would introduce a mild nerve agent through the environmental units. Not enough to put them to sleep, but enough to just take their edge off of them so things go..." Robin turned back to the display and said with a raised eyebrow, "somewhat easier. Releasing the nerve agent at 1.5 liters a minute won't set off their environmental alarms. Especially since what I have in mind is odorless and colorless." Robin began to pace as she said, "Putting everyone to sleep with knockout gas..." shaking her head and said, "There's always an odor or color to it." She looked at Nick and said, "All I need is about twenty minutes in the lab Captain. I can mix the right nerve agents in the right proportions and come up with tablets so it won't affect us. Just twenty minutes."

Turning to Daniels Robin said, "I'm going to need just six empty medium sized oxygen tanks and six "y" tubing splicers." Robin turned back to Cake and said with a smile, "I didn't forget you. You're a key to this for me Cake. I need you to make sure that their sensors and scanners don't detect me underneath the ship. I figure for you that shouldn't be an issue." She looked back to the Captain and said, "When the passengers in the cargo hold see us they're natural inclinations are either going to be panic or try to get us to save them first. If they have a bit of an edge off of them too that can't hurt. Once I'm done I'll teleport back to the shuttle, and then join the rest in the Cargo Hold."

Once Robin was finished she made her way back to her chai-latte. She began to sip it as leaned on a wall waiting for the verdict on her contribution to the plan.

Robin Pearson

Commander Dr. Robin C. Pearson/ Science Officer/ 34

Species and Appearance:

Robin is a human female. She stands at 5-foot 8-inches tall weighing in at 125 pounds with flaming red hair down to the center of her back with sharp green eyes.

Bio and Personality:

Robin was born on the Mars colony to Harrison and Julie Pearson two scientists who were working for the I.S.A on a science mission. Robin craved excitement and action not just "digging in the dirt" like mom and dad. Robin enlisted at the Star Academy and graduated at the top of her class which meant she could have her pick of any post graduate training assignment, so Robin chose Commando training. Robin was placed into the one of the toughest units in the entire I.S.A the Demon Hawks, and she proved she belonged with them.

Then came a mission on that changed everything. An I.S.A intelligence satellite went down on an uncharted sector of Altair Seven, and the Hawks were to retrieve the hard-drive which carried vital intel. Everything was going to plan until a crew of Mordok Pirates ambushed the Hawks. They wanted the intel from the hard drive to sell on the black market. Outnumbered and outgunned, Colonel Tom Beckett saw only one way to "win". He ordered Robin to go through an opening in the perimeter and fire on the satellite. Beckett knew that the explosion would takeout the pirates, but also unfortunately the Hawks. Robin was hesitant at first to follow the order. However, Robin was a good and faithful soldier and her superior officer gave her an order. She made her way to a nearby ridge, and with one shot the satellite exploded. Robin saw through the fire and debris most of the satellite was destroyed. What was left wasn't worth salvaging. Robin walked away, but then the satellite exploded one more time. Robin could feel a piece of metal lodge in her lower back. Instantly her legs gave out, and Robin heard other pirates coming towards her. They were probably going to survey the damage, but if they found her Robin knew The Pirates would make her suffer. Robin crawled to a nearby opening in the side of a cliff just big enough for her to fit in. She crawled far enough in so that no one could see her.

Once she was certain the Pirates were gone Robin surveyed her equipment. The communications equipment was badly damaged. She tested it and realized she could only transmit messages. To make matters worse a rain storm caused a mud slide and sealed her opening. She rolled onto her back, and Robin dug through the top of her cave through loose soil and bits of rock. She dug until her fingers bled, and then Robin felt drops of rain water which meant she wouldn't suffocate. Robin used her communicator to transmit at odd times so the Pirates couldn't get a lock on her if they were still in the area. She survived by drinking rain water and eating various bugs that crawled around.

After three days a rescue crew finally arrived and transported Robin to a med station. The doctors told Robin she was paralyzed, but they were able to implant in her a spinal unit. It was about the size of a palm sized transmitter which would enable her to walk, and that she could resume her military career once her body got used to the implant. Robin declined resuming her career because she now felt like a freak with the implant. but she wanted to prove that she could at least have a "semi-normal" life so she went through with her rehab.

Robin began to attack with her rehab a vengeance. During her rehab, Robin began to be fascinated with how a body works which made her start to question how other sciences worked as well. Robin enrolled in the I.S.A's science program online while she did her rehab. Robin excelled at the science program and within 6 years Robin held 5 PHDs. Robin enlisted in the I.S.A.'s science corps where she served on the Mars platform alongside her parents for 3 years. Robin though began to grow restless and wanted to see what was really beyond the Mars platform. She put in for a transfer to the I.S.S Prize and was ready to embrace her future as it's Science Officer.

Robin's personality is that she is focused on her work, but her experience on Altair Seven taught her perspective. As a result she has developed a sarcastic wit and likes to have a good laugh even if it's at her expense. Robin also is very much a team player and will do whatever she is asked to do. She recognizes that only by working together that a mission will succeed.

Skills, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Tools:

Robin is extremely intelligent. Her powers of observation are a real asset to her work. She can go a bit overboard at times though with her explanations. For example if someone asked her what time it was she might tell them how to build a watch.

Though she is no longer a commando Robin still possess formidable fighting skills, and can hold her own in a fight. Although a hit on just the right spot on her lower back will cause her spinal unit to lose power for a few seconds and cause Robin to collapse.

Her tools she has a portable microscope, several tablets on the various sciences of various species, a recorder for science reports, a master control module for her spinal unit, and a palm tablet that is hooked into the I.S.A. science database. For her own piece of mind Robin still carries her pistol from her days with the Demon Hawks.

Miscellaneous Info:

Her spinal unit isn't a cure all for her situation. Once every three months Robin has to go into "hibernation" for two days. For two days she has to lay on her stomach and she does not move at all. During this time her unit is hooked up to the master control module which updates the software for the unit, fixes any problems, and recharges the unit. Robin's body during this time is put into a state of suspended animation. She is unable to talk, to move, or do anything. Her eyes develop a white glaze over them and Robin is, basically, out for two days.

Due to her time in confinement Robin has a fear of closed in dark places and prolonged silences. So her quarters have a low light and the sounds of the ocean.

Robin loves working out especially running. She is able to do a six minute mile consistently.

She enjoys chai-lattes, playing cards, and visiting the beach whenever possible.

If this were a movie Robin would be played by Jessica Chastain.

You're accepted, friendo. Robin is a really interesting take on a science officer- like she's smart but also she could definetly shoot you from 100 yards off. I imagine her shouting neat biology facts while kicking pirate's faces in.

@Jeyma

Thank you very much!

Really looking forward to creating a great series with everyone here!

Sol City Modern Slice of life - Chapter 3 - (all welcome new and old)

Meet Caroline Dawson

Name: Caroline Dawson (Nickname: “C-Daws” her on-air name “Caroline Macmillan” (her mother’s maiden name))

Age: 30

Appearance:

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 110

Likes: Being with her friends, Classic Rock, Sci-Fi, movies, “The Daily Show”, the music of Bruce Springsteen, Murder Mysteries, Sports, working out, and of course her job.

Dislikes: Liars, Hypocrites, The Republican Party, loud/obnoxious drunks, fans of hers who “cross the line” when they meet her.

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Special Talent: Doing various voices and accents.

Profession: The 7PM-12AM DJ at 92.9 The Bull.

Bio:
Caroline was born to a working-class family in Pittsburgh, PA. Her dad (Nathan) was a construction worker and her mom (Kate) was an RN and grew up with 7 siblings (4 brothers and 3 sisters). Her love of Classic Rock was born at an early age because her parents listened to it constantly especially the music of Bruce Springsteen (they met at a Springsteen concert in 1977 on a blind date). While Caroline loved her family there was a drive for her to one day leave Pittsburgh and see what went on beyond the Steel City. This drive was further enhanced when her mom died of cancer during her 8th grade year. She realized that no one lived forever, and Caroline wanted to make the most of her life. However, with her family financial situation the chances of going to college were at best slim. While in High School Caroline tried out for the Cross-Country team and discovered that she had a real gift for long distance running. So much so that she was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh.

Caroline wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life when she at the University. She bounced around from a couple of majors, but nothing seemed to click for her. Until one night in the middle of her sophomore year life changed forever. Caroline was up late working on a history paper and was listening to the radio station on Campus. She loved the way that the DJ made her feel relaxed and helped her with his music choices push through a paper that was proving to be a problem, and she called to thank the DJ. He noted that she had a great sounding voice and he was impressed with her music knowledge and invited her down to the station. Caroline was blown away by what she saw, and Caroline impressed the program director with how at ease she was having a mic in front of her but how quickly she caught on to technical aspects of the job. Caroline was hired to be the late-night weekend DJ and very quickly developed an almost cult following. She adopted the name “Caroline Macmillan” because the name “Macmillan” was her mom’s maiden name, so it is her tribute to her mom.

Caroline’s time at the University of Pittsburgh was just about done and trying to find a job in radio was proving to be difficult. She still had the hope of leaving Pittsburgh, but no one was returning her calls. Caroline was looking at the prospect of working at an all jazz station or an all-news/talk station, but then two months before graduation her roommate came through for her. She had an Uncle who lived in the Northwest and was good friends with a radio station owner in Sol City. Her roommate sent Caroline’s air check to her Uncle who sent it onto the station owner. He heard it and knew he had a star in the making. The only reason he didn’t call her sooner was because he didn’t have an opening for her. A shift working overnight opened up and he flew Caroline out for an interview. Her charming and friendly personality quickly won over many of the station staff and the owner. He offered her the time slot and with that Caroline’s adventure to the Northwest was underway.

Her roommate’s Uncle let Caroline stay with them until she had enough money to afford her own place, and eventually she did move into her own place. Caroline has been living The Light Lane area for the last six years. She loves the small shops and the cozy atmosphere. Caroline’s career is moving along very nicely. She is the number five rated DJ in the market and more than a couple of stations have been trying to contact Caroline to hire her away.

Personality:
Caroline comes across as very outgoing and friendly which she is for the most part. She enjoys being the one in a group setting to make a joke and keeping things light and easy. Caroline is very smart, and she uses her intelligence in her sarcasm (which she uses frequently). She driven to do the best that she can but not at the expense of hurting others. Much like her astrology sign Caroline likes things balanced.

For all her outgoing aspects Caroline does enjoy times of just being still and quiet. She still misses her mom and her family more than she will admit.
