Thread: Space Revolution {KayLove & BlackThorne}

The docking crew were wearing the standard grey and black coveralls but with blaze orange safety vests. The vests were more for a mindset than any real visibility. Without suits, anyone who went out a sudden breach in the docking rig was going to be dead from exposure to vacuum long before they could get them back. Behind them stood the black clad security squad, wearing a combination of ballistic and Re-Flec anti-beam gear. But the disinterested look on their faces as they held their weapons at low ready told the story they weren't expecting to need it here. Duncan had strode up the middle of the group, at 2 meters tall, about a half head taller than most. That could be a double edged sword in the close quarters of a space ship, he often envied some of his more compact crewmen when it came to moving through the cramped maintenance shafts. His dark hair was too long for military regulation, and yet still neat, his beard and mustache were relatively well trimmed, or as trimmed as he could manage in the two minutes he had before he came down here He strode through his crew to lead the contact group, looking forward to meeting the crew of the Aurora, though it seemed the entire ship's complement was 1. His long arms reached out as the female slumped to unconsciousness, and a look of concern creased his brow , his intense grey eyes focused and he hoisted her up, pivoting and carrying her back through the walkway in the docking ring. With the added weight of the professor, the portable walkway in the ring buckled and bounced just slightly with each step. As he came out of the ring into his own cargo bay, he bellowed out Make a hole! Corpsman front and center! With that the various crew members pulled to each side , and some white clad personnel with red crosses on their uniforms moved forward, one of them with a stretcher. The woman was laid on a stretcher. The med-techs strapped her into the stretcher and made quick work of getting her to the med bay. Duncan paused as the woman was taken to Medical, and pointed to a large ruddy man with several stripes on his black jumpsuit Maddox, I need you to detail yourself and 3 of your most trusted and make sure no one gets on that ship except me or Oracle , unless otherwise directed by me, understood? Maddox snapped to at the direct order Aye , Captain, will do that, Sir With that he grabbed one of the current unit and sent another of the security crew to fetch the other 2 that Maddox had in mind for this task. As Maddox did that, Duncan walked do the Med bay, speaking into his wrist-comm on a private channel, to the unseen Oracle Edgar, need you to check out the scientists ship, and yes it is docked securely, and no, there aren't any serpents on board and yes it has plenty of oxygen now that we have jacked it into our aux supply. Anyhow look, I was only on it briefly but it was confusing. I could use a second opinion with time to actually check it out. It was definitely not normal. I've got Maddox and his guys bouncing, so you won't have any uninvited guests. I know it's going to mean leaving your BFE... I mean, your EnviroPod, but I need this done pronto. Stavros out he closed the channel before Oracle could object. The key to making sure he didnt get a word edgewise was keeping him off balance. Calling him by his hated given name, a name that few knew. And calling it his BFE, short for Big Fucking Egg. Edgar was a genius no doubt, and would work tirelessly on nearly every task. But there was something just not right about a guy who chose to live inside an egg shaped pod for 95 of his waking hours. He worried about his friend, but he didn't have time to worry about that right now. Now he was in the med bay and he put on his confident smile , looking down at the woman, hoping she was less disoriented now that she was being given fluids and glucose, not to mention clean O2 from a mask. Hell, Duncan could use a good snort of that right about now. It had been 3 weeks since he had a good night sleep. Hey, are you ok Professor St Clare, was it? I'm Duncan, I'm the captain. I have some questions for you , I am pretty sure you can guess some of them. He noted her unusual outfit, it was just another piece of the puzzle . Right now he needed coffee, not another fucking puzzle piece.
