Crew-quarters-2

USS Odyssey

I-I C/T-141 "Ace of Spades" / crew-quarters-2

Crew quarters are much nicer than on most military and even civilian ships; instead of hot-bunked hammocks, each crewmember has their own enclosed space, just large enough for a sleeping bag, and a locker beside it, in groups of about ten bunks.

After 11-Apr-21 12:00 AM

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 08:45 AM

*Arian floated in and claimed a bunk, by tying her dufflebag down to the bunk's frame with the shoulder strap, to prevent it from floating off. She looked around and saw that the walls had folded seats affixed, like the stewardess seats on 21st century commercial airliners. She pulled a seat down and tested it a bit by tugging and pulling on it. It seemed it would hold just fine, so she sat down and strapped herself in with the lap belt, and both shoulder belts. She tugged them snug against herself, and smiled a bit. Her braided hair drifted behind her like a tail. This was sorta neat.* (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 09:01 AM

*Nim entered, and picked a bunk. The weightlessness was actually sort of fun. She secured her bags before smiling at Arian.* “I’m already having fun and we haven’t even left yet, how about you?”

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 09:06 AM

"It is fascinating that my people lived like this. By our standards this relic is unsafe and unfit for occupation, but less habitation." *She said, looking over at Nimarah from where she sat all strapped in. She then tapped her hidden comm badge and spoke a message.* (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 09:25 AM

*Nim had strapped herself in, not wanting to smack against anyone or anything.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 09:29 AM

"So then, I am Arian Rhosyn, from Wales, but I am a United Kingdom ex-pat who has been living in space since graduation from university. I am a software programmer by trade, and I am a crew technician for the Ace of Spades currently." (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 09:41 AM

“I am Dr. Nimrah Dawson, also a UK ex-pat, who left earth because I wanted to explore,” *She said, smiling.* “Nim, or Doc, or Dr. Dawson works,”

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 09:42 AM

"Doctor Dawson, or just Double D." *She smirked.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 09:45 AM

*She threw her head back and laughed.* “Oh please no Arian, that’s not what I meant,” *She giggled.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 09:47 AM

"Hey, Humans are scummy when in space too long. That was the focus of the mini-briefing in the cargo bay yesterday."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 09:50 AM

“I mean it’s not terribly inaccurate, but hardly appropriate for a ship’s doctor,” *She snickered.* “They are a bit scummy, aren’t they? Though they seem to get it right in the end,”

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 09:53 AM

"Well, I have this for when they do not get it right." *She pulled her open jacket back a bit to reveal a nylon shoulder holster carrying a Colt .45 pistol.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 10:12 AM

*She blinked.* “Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, though I’m glad you have it if what the last two missions have been like are any indication of human behaviour in this century,”

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 10:14 AM

"It is the whole reason I am here. I is my hope as well that I end up being of no use to the mission."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 10:23 AM

“As do I, I just want one thing to go right. We all have dossiers, and have had the mission equivalent of a liberty briefing,” *She sighed.* “I just want to bounce around in zero gravity, and not get shot at. Hopefully that’s not to much to ask,” *She gave Arian a small smile.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 10:27 AM

"It is not a matter of you getting shot at, it is more a matter of us floating people down to you who have been shot."

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 10:31 AM

“That’s true, I just don’t like my crewmates getting shot. Especially not with projectile bullets, at least phasers have a stun setting,”

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 10:34 AM

"I would rather be penetrated by an expanding projectile than instantly vaporized."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 11:12 AM

*Once they were underway and up to speed, she unstrapped herself and folded the chair back up against the wall.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 12-Apr-21 11:32 AM

“I suppose you have a point there, and perhaps I’m a bit naive. I’m not usually in situations where combat is likely,” *She unstrapped herself as well, and double checked her things.* “I probably should check on ensign Janaii in the medical compartment, so I’ll leave you in peace,” *She smiled, then headed out into the access compartment.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 11:35 AM

"Give the battle medic my compliments!" *She called after the floating doctor.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 11:59 AM

*Arian floated over to her tied down dufflebag and set about unpacking a bit so the place appeared lived-in in case the Humans came in for whatever reason. Then she really explored the room, seeing how the compartment hinges worked, what they were made of, how the electrical wiring was run through tubes along the walls instead of down internal circuits, how everything was designed to be roughly handled in zero-g, marveling that this was a long term home for people in the ancient days. Her fascination was akin to what ours today might be to be on a Viking longboat or Chinese junk at sea.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 12:57 PM

*After inspecting the quarters and satisfying her curiosity, she let herself drift in the zero-g environment, touching whatever she floated into and bouncing off it in another slow direction. She listened to the neutral sound of the humming ship, with occasional bangs and taps, and recorded it for posterity. She planned to make a holodeck program based on her sensor measurements, and all that she was experiencing. That way others would know how much life sucked in space in the ancient times. Pressure and temperature fluctuated enough to feel without digital sensors depending on how close to the ventilation port. The smells were an experience too. The rocket ship clearly had not means of washing the mattresses whole. This was the best part of the ship, the most open and inviting. Sitting around the barracks was the highlight of recreation. How awful.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 12-Apr-21 11:41 PM

*She bounced around like an ultra slow-motion pinball game, from one side of the barracks to the next. She drifted an average of 20 to 30 seconds before coming into contact with the next thing she would careen off of. Her eyes were open and unfocused, locked dead ahead. She could be reading inside her head, she could be composing, she could be processing data or just thinking. It was not possible to tell. But there she was, adrift and alone. Her duty was to enact forceful violence to the degree necessary as to preserve the lives of her ship mates. But for now she just floated gently back and forth across the residential compartment, banging off this and ricocheting off that, with the appearance and personality of a used mannequin.* (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 13-Apr-21 08:29 AM

*Unaware of the alert in the control room, Arian obliviously floated around still in a meditative state.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 13-Apr-21 10:36 AM

*As the ship fired thrusters and altered trajectory, Arian bumped into a table much harder than expected. She blinked and winced, snapping out of her trance, then looked around. She could hear the groan of the hull as the thrusters pushed the ship on a new course. She kicked off the table to float her way to the porthole. She looked out to see what she should see, and what she saw was empty space. Her internal chronometer was compared to the mission plan, and it seemed they had arrived at Europa and were entering orbit on schedule. What a dull, horrid several hours it had been. How did ancient Humans do this as a career?*

Lt. Iron Forge 13-Apr-21 10:53 AM

(Try doing months instead of hours

3

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 13-Apr-21 12:20 PM

*It should not be much longer, she knew. She pushed away from the window port and drifted to her bunk. She wrapped a leg around a support post to keep her in place, then grabbed her duffle bag from there it was tied by the strap to the bed. Opening it, she took items out to field check, and sure in her zippered pockets. Her outfit consisted of tan cargo pants, brown fabric boots which were unpolished, an orange t-shirt, and a blue polyester jacket which was zipped up only halfway. Her hair was tied back in her usual wide braid, and she wore her gloves. She had tools and other items hidden all about her person. A few hand tools like a screwdriver and a small wrench tuck up out of her jacket breast pockets, secured with velcro. She went for a lazy space-scavenger look.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 13-Apr-21 11:42 PM

*More time passed. Rocket thrust and orbital direction maneuvering seemed to take forever compared to what she was used to. By then she was just drifting aloft again, nudging off of this and that as she randomly traversed the room. Certainly everyone else was busy with keeping the ship on course, keeping the nuclear reactor from going into meltdown, fooling the ancient Humans, and all manner of important duties of which she had none. So in the absence of orders, she floated idle. She listened to music in her head, played from archive digital recordings. At the same time she flipped through her memory banks, looking at still images of things she had done in the past. Occasionally she would bump into something with her head or face, which caused her to raise her arm and ever so slightly push off with the tip of her finger to send her in another direction at a snail's space. This had to be some sort of bad karma she was building up, equal and opposite reaction type stuff. All this inaction may invite a lot of action. Maybe she should put a second boot knife in her other boot?*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 11:17 AM

*She heard and felt the ship dock as the vibrations moved along the metal hull, caught by the station. She directed her floating to the door, where she posted herself on stand-by. Her hands felt over her pockets to confirm the equipment was all still there, then she focused her attention on monitoring the comms.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 05:37 PM

*More time passed. She floated near the door, at-the-ready. She wondered what the expected time frame for a trade like this would be, with loading and unloading. She tired to work the numbers, accounting for how many crew the station might have, automation technology of the time, negotiation and contract signing, security screening, and other factors. She concluded she might be here another 6 hours or more.*

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 05:40 PM

*Vax poked his head through the access hatch* "Well hi there Arian."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 05:42 PM

*She looked up,* "Hello, I am surprised you are not on the station."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 05:43 PM

*Vax smirked* "Nah...why would they need a pilot?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 05:44 PM

"It is not about need. Were you specifically invited or denied?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 05:45 PM

"Never asked to go aboard the station, my purpose here is to fly."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 05:49 PM

"Mine is to enact precise and directed violence, if need be. It will hopefully not be needed. But flying is vital. You sir, are a guarantee of our safe return."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 05:50 PM

"Well if I can't guarantee that, what can I guarantee." *Vax chuckled* "So how you been lately Arian?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 05:54 PM

"I have been glad to be of service in each mission thus far. I am avoiding the station for now in case they have a crude device called a 'metal detector' for security screening. They were used quite extensively in this era, even on entry of schools I read. If I went through it, the thing's alarm would go off so hard it might blow up."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:01 PM

"Ah..." *Vax paused then raised a brow* "Though I meant how you doing overall, not just on the mission Arian. You know, like..how's life?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:03 PM

"What else is there to life,..." *She blinked once,* "... but the mission?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:05 PM

"Uh..don't you do anything else but the mission? Ever spend time on the holodeck? At the club...?" *Vax looked concerned, he realized she was a robot but still*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:10 PM

*She flashed a grin, then reached a gloved hand out to clap him roughly on the shoulder, which might send him floating off if he was not holding onto something.* "I am kidding sir! Come on now!" *She then laughed some.*

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:11 PM

*Vax smirked, giving a sign of relief, with that clap he floated a little upwards, making his whole body float into the compartment* "Well you had me fooled there, what can I say?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:14 PM

"I play a good android. People actually, truly forget that I am Human being. I am doing fine, and very happy that we are closer the getting home. How about you, sir, how are things?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:14 PM

"I'm working well within my stated program." *Vax chuckled slightly*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:15 PM

"How about with your ex?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:25 PM

"I haven't talked to him since...but I try to not think about it..it wasn't my greatest decision or time in life."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:28 PM

"Imagine though, sir, if you had not ended it then. Even today, he might be back on the Odyssey waiting for you, worrying. Ever fonder, ever closer. How much harder might it be, now, to end it?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:30 PM

"Id rather not talk about it Arian...I'm looking on other people right now.."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:32 PM

"We are doing this for them all, including him. But I admire you for letting yourself cope in your own way. Tell me, how does this irradiated bucket handle? I felt every bump and tap."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:43 PM

*Vax laughed, guess Arian isn't a gossip girl, how nice* "She flys fine! IT's a beauty of a ship ain't it?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:48 PM

"I hate every inch of it. But I am pleased you are getting a thrill from playing it. What an impressive resume addition."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:49 PM

"Impressive resume addition? Are you thinking im going to go to a bigger ship or something?" *Vax chuckled*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:51 PM

"No sir. But you fly boys live and die off bragging rights, I hear."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:52 PM

"I think its only the guys, Lieutenant Miren doesn't like when I brag.." *Vax chuckled a little* "Or bet, or really do anything that isn't flying. I kind of think she dislikes my personality."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 06:53 PM

"Yet she allows you to fly with her."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 06:59 PM

"I graduated 2nd in my class for Starship and shuttlecraft piloting, and I graduated 1st in my class for historical piloting." *Vax sat there, of course Kalena had to let him fly, besides her, he considered himself the best helmsman on board*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:02 PM

"Then you are you skill in her eyes, and not your personality."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:13 PM

"Eh..I guess so.." *Vax shrugged* "I think its that she expects me to preform I suppose more..quietly? Not make stupid comments, or silly bets, or say stupid stuff."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:26 PM

"That would be nice, yes." *She nodded.*

1

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:28 PM

*Vax looked at her, excuse me?* "You agree with her don't you?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:29 PM

"You not being stupid sounds nice, yes."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:31 PM

*Vax blinked* "I feel slightly insulted by that statement, I'm not stupid, but I sometimes say stupid things, or say a little joke, maybe play a prank or two."

*Vax moved over farther away from Arian* "If I'm being honest, that kind of hurt Arian."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:35 PM

"They were your words, sir. You admitted to doing and saying stupid things, which are unwelcome to her. I only agreed with what you said about yourself. I do not think you are stupid, but if you act like it deliberately against her wishes, what may you expect?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:37 PM

"Oh nevermind..." *Vax sighed* "Forget I brought it up."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:38 PM

"I apologize for hurting and insulting you, sir."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:42 PM

"It's fine Arian.." *Vax did a few flips, trying to clear his head*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:49 PM

"It does bother you though that she does not enjoy your joviality, yes?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 07:52 PM

"Haunts me a lot..she almost reminds me of my farther.."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 07:58 PM

"Why do persist then, if you know she does not like it?" (edited)

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:02 PM

"What do you want me to do? Change my personality perhaps? Oh and become robotic?" *Vax wasn't trying to insult Arian, but he was a little annoyed that she suggested that he was persisting to do it, its his personality after all, this was the way he was*

1

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:06 PM

"No, not change your personality at all. But you can control yourself and hold a professional tone for a while, when with her. My personality is not professional either."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:17 PM

*Vax shrugged* "Maybe."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:22 PM

"There is a time and place, it is said."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:25 PM

"Eh.."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:31 PM

"Old Human saying. It refers to certain things, behaviors, and such have a certain situation when they are meant to happen."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:33 PM

"True Arian."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:36 PM

"This is the time, while we are idle. This is the place, since it is crew quarters. So, tell me a joke. One that would make Miren mad."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:37 PM

"You're a borg."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:38 PM

*She chuckled darkly,* "I did ask for it. But is that the best you got?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:38 PM

"I'm tired Arian.."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:39 PM

"Want to take a nap then? I will cover for you, wake you when it is time."

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:40 PM

"If you don't mind..?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:46 PM

"Not at all, sir. I want to get home, and you are the one who will get me home. Rest, by all means."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 14-Apr-21 08:47 PM

*Kaylee would knock on the door or whatever the way to let people inside know of her mlm presence outside m*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 14-Apr-21 08:48 PM

"Enter." *She responded automatically.*

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:49 PM

*Vax looked towards the door, then float to a bunk, laying himself on it, and or strapping himself in* "Come in."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 14-Apr-21 08:51 PM

*The door were ould open as kaylee floated into the room* "Oh hey vax, didn't remember you were here"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 08:52 PM

*Vax looked over at Kaylee* "Oh hey, I didn't realize you were on the mission either."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 14-Apr-21 08:59 PM

*Kaylee would look at Arian and smile*Wanna introduce me to your friend here, or let her introduce herself\*

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 09:02 PM

*Vax looked over at Arian* "Arian, this is Kaylee, Kaylee that is Lieutenant Arian Rhosyn."

"Kaylee is a..Tactical Ensign and a.." *Vax paused, how should be phrase this* "Close friend."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 14-Apr-21 09:07 PM

*Kaylee continued to look at Arian* "Arian... Arian Rhosyn... that name sounds familiar, where have i se..., oh are you my roommate Arian"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 09:07 PM

"Yeah..she is your roommate, remember? Ya told me." *Vax smirked*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 14-Apr-21 09:11 PM

*Kaylee smiled* "Oh well it is nice to finally meet you Ariam, been looking forward to it"

Ensign Terzom Vax 14-Apr-21 09:12 PM

*Vax smirked from his bunk*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 08:21 AM

*She smiled and floated over closer to Kaylee, removing a black nitrile glove as she did so. Arian offered her bare hand in proper greeting,* "Well, Ensign Johnson, it is wonderful to finally meet you! I am sorry I welcomed you by PADD and not in person."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 10:24 AM

*Katie floated inside the room.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 10:31 AM

*She looked over,* "Well, hello Lieutenant Chaffee. I expected you would be on the station inspecting the cargo, in your capacity as Quartermaster."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 10:31 AM

"I actually have been busy sorting out the manifest."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 10:32 AM

"Welcome to the crew bunk room."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 10:34 AM

"Thanks."

"So, uh, what are you all doing in here?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 10:37 AM

*Vax would've been strapped in, he had fallen asleep*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 10:42 AM

"Napping, chatting, waiting for the diplomats to make the trade." *She sort of shrugged.*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 02:43 PM

*Kaylee would take her hand and shake it* "Yes thank you i saw and read it, that was very nice of you"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 02:44 PM

*After shaking she slipped the glove back on and smiled at Kaylee,* "I trust you have had no issues with moving in?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 02:48 PM

*Kaylee would shake her head* "No, ive only been in there like3 times"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 02:49 PM

"Good, if there are any issues please let me know."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:09 PM

*Kaylee smiled* "I will, but i honestly doubt there will be"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:13 PM

"Have you checked out the ancient space station?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:15 PM

"No, i haven't decided to yeg, im mostly here incase shit hits the fan, just like you prolly are"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:18 PM

"Yes, but I am staying away because my chassis might trigger some metal detector alarm. Since you are fully Human I would have thought they would want you on the entry party."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:24 PM

*Kaylee would slightly frown* "No, i requested i not be put on that party because i dont want to screw things up or something like that"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:25 PM

*She blinked slowly,* "Oh."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:28 PM

"I was posted here out of the academy so i have 0 actual experience unlike most of you... Great timing to graduate the academy"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:32 PM

*Arian nodded to Kaylee after she spoke.*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:34 PM

*Kaylee wondered* "So why did you join Starfleet?:

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:38 PM

"To continue to apply my training and skill set as a civilian law enforcer in a greater service. Yourself, ma'am?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:41 PM

"I joined because Starfleet is the closest thing Humans and earth have to a military anymore, i come from a military family that goes back generations, even the American revolution, my grandfather of that time fought for the patriots, as both a militia general and later when th eff Continental army was formed he was a general in that"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:43 PM

"That is a fantastic family history." *She smiled, then closed her eyes for a brief moment, the lids fluttering.* "Your father was a Starfleet Tactical officer, no less. You are indeed following in their footsteps."

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 03:45 PM

"Yeah and she's got a great uniform to prove of her grandfather as well." *Vax was still in the bunk, but he had awakened now, of course because they were talking, too loud*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:47 PM

*Kaylee would nod and smile at first* "Yes, indeed my father was a Tactical officer he got to the rank of commander" *That smile quickly turned to a frown however* "He was a great father to me, but ill prolly never see him again"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 03:49 PM

*Vax floated out of the bunk, unstrapping himself* "You never did tell me what happened to your farther? I dont mean to intrude but if you don't wanna say that's fine."

*He floated on over to the two*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 15-Apr-21 03:49 PM

*She glanced to Terzom,* "Oh, sorry sir! How rude of us, you were trying to nap. I do apologize."

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 03:50 PM

*Vax chuckled* "Arian, how many times do I have to tell you to please call me Vax."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 03:51 PM

*Kaylee continued to think about her father and how she might never see him again, vax's question just made her sadder she began to tear up as she studdered* "O... Oh, my father re.. retired a few years a.. ago, just after i started the academy"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 03:53 PM

*Vax frowned, dang it vax, you made her tear up. Good fucking job ya dipshit.* "Oh...I-I'm uh..sorry I brought it up." *Vax placed a hand on her shoulder then looked at Arian, giving her those give compassion eyes*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 04:04 PM

*Tears would start to fall* "Y.. Your fine, im j... just being. a... a.. a big baby" *Kaylee would rub her eyes*

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 04:06 PM

"Aw come now, no you aren't Kaylee. You're a strong and wonderful person. You're good with leadership and all, I'm sure your father would be proud." *Without thinking Vax did the one thing he knew how to do, he gave her a hug, giving her a small smile. She'll probably push him away but at least he tried*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 04:11 PM

"My father wontever know what ive done, or have anything to be proud of me for, im going to be the first failure in the Johnson family"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 04:12 PM

"Kaylee come on, don't think like that. You're serving starfleet and its something to be proud of. Don't let other peoples opinions get in your way." *He kept hugging her*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 04:16 PM

"ill never see him again"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 04:18 PM

"Sshhh.." *Vax tried to calm her down* "Just..focus on the mission."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 04:49 PM

*Kaylee, would try to laugh slightly* "Yeah, yeah the mission

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 04:58 PM

*Vax would let go* "Well if you want, I was planning on suiting up and going out into the cargo bays, according to Lieutenant Jittaz, we're carrying some interesting stuff."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 05:19 PM

"What do you mean by interesting"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 05:22 PM

"Statues, stuff like that."

*Vax paused* "Unless she was lying to me."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 05:25 PM

*Kaylee would look confused* "Whats so cool about these statues?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 05:26 PM

"Their historical figures."

"You know, like...George Washington or...Winston Churchill."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 05:48 PM

*Kaylee didn't care about Churchill, yes sure he was a very good important historical figure she just yelled out* "George Washington!, oh if there is one in there i call dibs, i want to keep it"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 05:49 PM

*Vax was shocked a little, she had yelled right into his ear almost* "Errr...I think they're part of the deal we're selling...I don't know..."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 05:59 PM

"Damn, thats ok"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 06:01 PM

"You sure lo-." *Vax paused himself, what the hell was he saying*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:03 PM

*Kaylee was confused* "What?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 06:05 PM

"Uh...uh..." *Vax started to sweat, what the heck just came out of his mouth! He had to keep his composure. Calming himself down quick* "Nothing."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:11 PM

*Kaylee would laugh* "Mhmmm, sure, if you say so, but im down to do whatever"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 06:16 PM

*His face was flushed red, he was embarrassed, he had realized what he meant to say. It was an earth expression. He didn't mean to say it though, so Vax laughed it off with her* "Well If your up for it. I think now would be appropriate, before we sell all the stuff."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 06:29 PM

“Wait, so you had an ancestor in the continental army?”

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:48 PM

*Kaylee looked at her and smiled* "Yes, indeed i did"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 06:49 PM

"Oh cool, I'm related to some 20th century tank general or something, forget the first name off the top of my head, all I know is his last name."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:50 PM

*Kaylee was interested* "Oh?, what what th ed last name?"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 06:51 PM

"Adna Romanza Chaffee? Would it be?" *Vax looked over at Katie, giving a small smile*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 06:52 PM

"Chaffee."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:52 PM

*Kaylee thought for a second but didn't recognize it* "Sorry i don't recognize that name"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 06:54 PM

*Vax looked at Kaylee* "He's basically the farther of the armored division. The Armored divisions of the second world war I believe. Him and George S. Patton." *Vax gave a small smile in her direction before turning to Katie*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 06:56 PM

*Kaylee smiled* "Patton, now thats a name i recognize, great general, a relative of that time was in his division"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 07:21 PM

"Never had a relative in any of your human wars. Hence why I do the holodeck recreations." *Vax chuckled to himself, floating around a little more*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 07:38 PM

*Kaylee would add* "There are even stories of relativesvin my family in the military back to the Hundred years war"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 07:52 PM

"Quite a legacy if you ask me."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 07:56 PM

*Kaylee would nod* "Yeah quite a hard one to live up to in this day of age to be honest"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 07:59 PM

"Don't worry Kaylee, you'll live up to it. I promise you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 09:14 PM

“I don’t care about living up to my ancestors.”

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 09:15 PM

*Vax shrugged* "Some of us do, some of us don't. But you do gotta give credit to the people who try and do, right?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 09:17 PM

*Kaylee would look at katie with slight anger and offence* "Yeah, well sorry my family has more ancient beliefs, and that i accept those beliefs and want to live up to my ancestors, but you can do what you like"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 09:20 PM

*Vax looked at Katie and then kaylee* "Everyone entitled to their opinion right?" *Vax tried to calm everyone's nerves down*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 09:32 PM

"I guess, I just want to do what I love to do."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 09:33 PM

*Kaylee would smirk* "Yeah, so do i, and trying to live up to my ancestors is what i love to do"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 09:34 PM

"Sounds fun."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 09:36 PM

*Kaylee nodded* "However its kinda hard when there are no wars, or spacial anomalies stuff like that to do to distinguish myself or something"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 09:37 PM

"So you keep yourself occupied with holodeck simulations of wars?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 09:43 PM

"Yes, its the only ways i can do what my family loves, which is fight, make strategy or other such stuff"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 09:47 PM

*Vax nods, sounds fun to him* "I like that."

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 10:04 PM

*Kaylee shrugged slightly* "Yeah its ok, but its not as authentic of an experience because there is no fear of dying, because of the holodeck safety protocols"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 10:05 PM

"Well...what if you...turned them off..?"

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 10:06 PM

*Kaylee looked at him* "Id get in huge trouble"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 10:07 PM

*Vax thought about it* "Okay, I guess you're right on that.."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 15-Apr-21 10:09 PM

"Uh, can, we uh.. change the subject?" *Katie said after a minute, a little weirded out.*

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 15-Apr-21 10:13 PM

*Kaylee shrugged again* "Eh, i guess"

Ensign Terzom Vax 15-Apr-21 10:14 PM

"Sure, I don't mind changing the subject."

"Though uh..what too."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 16-Apr-21 12:25 AM

“What do you all like to do in your free time?”

Ensign Kaylee Anna Johnson BOT 16-Apr-21 07:22 AM

"I dont care really"

Ensign Terzom Vax 16-Apr-21 07:48 AM

"Holodecks or music."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 01:12 PM

*Arian continued to float and exist.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 01:14 PM

*Max floated throw and knocked on the quarters door.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 01:21 PM

"Enter!" *She floatally called out.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 01:29 PM

*Max floated in, he raised a hand in greeting.* "Allo' lass, c'n Ah 'ave yer phone please, or somethin' ter write on?" (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 01:33 PM

*She blinked, then reached into her jack breast pocket to take out a pocket spiral notepad and a pressurized ink pen. She pushed off whatever was near enough to push off of, and drifted his way. She offered out the items to him,* "Authentic to the period. Heh." *She grinned a tad.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 01:34 PM

*He chuckled softly then wrote on it. "Worried for bugs. Check for bugs, how?"* (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 01:35 PM

"Bugs? Faults in a mechanical system, do you mean sir?"

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 01:36 PM

"Ah'm drawin', give me a second then guess." *He chuckled but shook his head violently. \*"Write on the PADD. No, audio, listening in."*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 01:38 PM

"Ah. Right, love this game."

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 02:04 PM

*"Any idea on how? he then passed the pad to her.* "Aye, c'n yer guess what it is?" (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 02:13 PM

*She closed her eyes and the lids fluttered as she accessed internal digital archive. Arian wrote back, "Try a primitive transmission detector. 'WeeFee Blue Teeth' is the common networked communication of the time, 2.4 gigahertz (120 mm) UHF and 5 gigahertz (60 mm) SHF/ISM radio bands."* "Is it a teddy bear wearing a police hat?"

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 02:21 PM

"Lass, it's a dog." *He sighed and shook his head, then wrote on the notepad. "Alright, I'll get to it. Thank you."*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 02:22 PM

*She scribbled back quickly before he left, "Do I need to be concerned? Security-wise?"* "Oh yeah, huh!? Damnation. Well, you win this one."

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 02:38 PM

*"Maybe. I don't trust these people."*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 18-Apr-21 02:42 PM

*She nodded wordlessly, making to float after him and follow.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 18-Apr-21 02:57 PM

*float away! to engineering they did!* (edited)
