Thread: Space Revolution {KayLove & BlackThorne}

Oracle had his goggles pulled up atop his head, matting down his already sparse hair and had listened very carefully to Lily, while his face was buried in his own datapad. It was flashing a nearly unreadable scroll of text, but for Oracle it was like child's play. Duncan tapped his shoulder as the introductions were made , and then smirked Dr St. Clare, this is Oracle, you might have heard of him before. A lot of you tech heads seem to have at least. Isaac, please add him to your whitelist for admin access . I imagine he is going to have some questions for you since he looks about like a child in front of the tree Stavros chuckled , liking to tweak his close friend. He had almost shared Edgar's real name, but that would be something for him to do, not Duncan . Dr. St CLare, tell me where is all of this from? I mean this gear wasn't a unit by any means but some of it is so advanced or designed so differently. This is not stuff salvaged from obsolesce. Some of this stuff is better than what we use on what passes for a top of the line battle cruiser or deep explorer these days. He was fascinated to listen but Duncan told him to at least wait for her to change. When she came back out, Oracle coldn't help but nearly accost So I would love to hear more about all this stuff, I can help you dismantle it as we go. I think Isaac will get along well with my AI Jenkins. As the two of them chattered back and forth, Duncan called for his most trustworthy engineer, Murphy. His position was technically Chief Engineering Officer on board the Kos, but when they were aboard the Damascus, Stavros put him on the most sensitive work to oversee. As the two traded technical dialogue , Duncan quickly briefed Murphy - help them out, get this stuff over to the Kos He interrupted to introduce Lilly to the short, dark haired man Lily, this is Donnie Murphy, he is a ships's engineer, 3rd generation in fact , we are going to see whats wrong with those engines. May take some repair time after we leave before we can get them fixed and then mounted , which will probably have to happen at a space station anyhow. I need to attend to some ship's business and make sure we get some security on the Kos now, too . I also need to speak with my XO. That would be a brief but important conversation. He was away so much that his 1st officer,, Brett Lang, was practically the captain of the Damascus. Which was just as well, given that Captain Stavros had duties more akin to an admiral, even if he still liked to be out there in the thick of things. Lang was pretty solid, a former IEF officer , but Duncan just never got the impression that Lang was someone he would want as close confidante. Before he left he pulled Lily aside and looked her directly in the eyes. He liked the seeming effect his presence had on her Is there anything you need from me before I go? When you are ready , ping my comm, Oracle will show you the channel if need be and I will come get you to show you to the cabin. As he left, Duncan noted that Murph had tasked a couple of guys to help tote stuff. They would turn down the Sonnberg field to half strength or less of ship standard. Most ships ran about .4 Earth gravity on their Sonnberg panel, but Duncan routinely did .5 or .6. It helped exercise his crew and prepare the hard core spacers and belters who lived all of their lives outside a gravity well for planetary operations.
