Centrifuge-habitat

USS Odyssey

Al Zadi trade station / centrifuge-habitat

This area has hotel rooms (just big enough for a real bed, a desk, and a space to stand up in), along with a few communal areas. It makes up the bulk of the centrifuge ring, and has artificial gravity roughly 75% of Earth normal.

Ensign Cerred King 14-Apr-21 05:46 PM

*Cerred made it to the bottom of the ladder and took a few steps back, walking around slowly as he pulled his notebook out and flipped to a new page. To the untrained eye, it just looked like he was taking more notes. But if anyone Starfleet looked, they'd just see he'd gone back to writing nonsense phrases but this time in Romulan.*

Lt. JG Survol 14-Apr-21 11:11 PM

*Survol popped down right after him, taking a look around the centrifuge. Survol then noticed the Romulan writing, thinking to comment again.... but then stopping as the thought better of it. He walked ahead.*. "Fascinating. This would be a reasonable area we might find the supplies we seek." *He paused again.* "Eh?"

Ensign Cerred King 14-Apr-21 11:14 PM

*Cerred paused and looked around before pulling a small digital recorder from his hoodie pocket, looking around again for people then to Survol.* "Probably." *He smiled and began writing again, scribbling timestamps down above his "notes" as they walked.*

Lt. JG Survol 14-Apr-21 11:25 PM

*Survol wasn't used to so much waiting, at least without something to do himself. He usually had his PADD where he could process paperwork, create supply organization charts and tables, and more. Now, he stood there with Cerred, looking around with nothing to do.* "I am uncertain as to why I was assigned to this task. My profile does not fit any use for the misison parameters."

Ensign Cerred King 14-Apr-21 11:45 PM

"Nor mine. But it meke sense to heve small entourage. Or ve say ve catching ride on sheep going our vey." *He said with a shrug as they walked. He looked around again and seeing it was just them, pulled the digital recorder from his pocket. He took one more look around before hitting record and making a log of the events so far, speaking in a mix of Vulcan and Romulan as they walked.*

Lt. JG Survol 14-Apr-21 11:55 PM

"One would think they would use security for such a task." *Survol looked down at himself then back up.* "Though, I suppose given the time and location, as a Vulcan, I have a muscular profile capable of eliminating almost any present threat. I see the logic." *His expression turned to one of being perplexed when Cerred spoke languages. Though he was careful in how he phrased things.* "Why are you using non-standard speech?"

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 12:03 AM

*Cerred nodded slowly as he finished his recording, shoving the device back into his pocket. He looked back at Survol with a little smirk as they kept walking.* "You and I are both fairly strong so that might be the case. And if I speak non-standard language, it ensures that this doesn't violate the prime directive. In case this gets lost, they'll only hear gibberish because the people of this time don't know what a Vulcan or Romulan is. And then the UY can handle the rest once we get back to the ship." *He said softly.*

Lt. JG Survol 15-Apr-21 12:25 AM

"Ah, also logical." *Survol canted his head with interest at Cerred's verbal note-taking before pacing down several meters to get a better view of the area, noting the small kiosks for conducting commerce as well as the larger rooms around for their various uses. Once he had a clear memorized picture of the layout, he returned to Cerred.* "I suppose this begs the question, 'now what?' "

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 01:01 AM

*He nodded and looked around, sighing.* "I guess ve finding plece to bed down for ze night? Or we just valk around end explore?" (I guess finding a place to bed down for the night or we can just wall around and explore?) (edited)

Lt. JG Survol 15-Apr-21 01:08 AM

"I require no rest for at least the next three point eight seven five days, but am never averse to meditation. However, the logical course of action would be to secure a place as a base of operations for the others to be able to make contact with us." *Survol inclined his head every so slightly.*

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 11:56 AM

*When Kopano reaches the ring after the others, it takes him a few minutes to get his legs properly working; the vestibular compensator in the left knee is malfunctioning again, causing the knee to jitter back and forth under pressure. He gives an apologetic smile if he's glanced around at as he simply opens the casing and unplugs the damned thing, hobbling to catch up in a stiff-legged limp somewhat reminiscent of a fairytale pirate walking with a peg leg. He doesn't let that dampen his spirits, though.* "Did I hear someone mention a bed? Because we have plenty of real beds here."

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 12:01 PM

*Cerred looked over as Kopano joined them and smiled, nodding a little* "Real bed? Good, I dont sink my beck cen handling vone more night in stiff bunk, you know?" *He said with a chuckle and rubbed his lower back for effect.*

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 12:08 PM

*Kopano returns the chuckle in good humour.* "Yes, I know how hard it can be to get used to lying on something again after months of sleeping weightless in a bag. We've got only the finest memory foam for you here." *There's probably a Ferengi Rule of Acquisition about advertising at every opportunity, though Kopano's of course never heard of Ferengi or the Rules of Acquisition.*

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 01:30 PM

"It vill definitely be nice chenge, yes. Could you telling us more about stetion vhile ve valk?" *He asked with a little smile, fiddling with the recorder in his pocket in case Kopano agreed. What better way to record information than the source itself, right?*

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 02:14 PM

"Gladly. What do you want to know?" *Kopano eyes the recorder with slight suspicion.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 15-Apr-21 02:15 PM

*Cinder was in the back letting Capri do the talking while she listened with intent interest. Her main goal was keep everyone alive and get their goods so she had zero issue letting him ask questions.*

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 02:42 PM

"Meybe starting from stetion heestory? I deedn't heve much time to doing research before ve come here. End most of our readers eatbound. " *He said with a weak chuckle and took his hand out if his pocket, placing the recorder in his notebook where it would pick up Kopanos voice and not his pencil scratches.* "Perhaps you can tell me about yourself as vell? Give ze readers insight into more zan just 'Men who run spece stetion.'" (Maybe start from the stations history? I didn't have much time to research before coming here. And most of our readers are earthbound. Perhaps tell me about yourself as well? Give the readers insight past "the man who runs the space station ")

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 03:17 PM

*Kopano's visage hardens into a slight frown when King mentions the possibility of giving readers "an insight" into him, but he composes himself effortlessly.* "Well, I'll start with the station's history if you don't mind." *Despite knowing that the recording is audio-only, Kopano shifts gears into showbiz mode, stepping ahead of the others and turning back to them. His stiff knee makes walking backwards difficult, but he makes it seem like a quirk rather than a problem. It's difficult to tell whether or not he's researched his speech.* "This wasn't always the A.L. Zadi trade station. When first built, it was Canadian Ecological Union Outpost Three. It was a research station, used to isolate the genetically modified microorganisms the Union were experimenting with from Earth; imagine the bacterial equivalent of Khan Singh and you'll understand what they were afraid of. The Union wanted to save the planet, not destroy it with a super-bug." *By chance, he gestures to the nearest window just as the rotation of the ring brings Jupiter into view.* "They had to build it so far out here, which felt even further out back then of course, so that it would be safe from attacks while they carried out their experiments. The United Nations were as toothless as ever when it came to stopping this fragrant breach of the 1997 Stockholm Convention, with the station out of military strike range." *Kopano smiles a little and waves his hands in a little shrug.* "But that was all in vain; when they couldn't stop the experiments directly, the UN applied crippling economic sanctions to Canada. Cut off from all outside trade and having been reliant on that trade for all sorts of essentials from industrial goods to medicines, Canada's economy collapsed as it tried to scrounge up money to buy goods from the few states willing to trade with them. And one of the ways in which they were forced to do that was to sell the station and bring their research Earthbound."

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 03:28 PM

*Cerred didn't even flinch but he noted the slight change in the man's energy before he started speaking again. Occasionally he nodded or "took more notes" as well (though it was really writing down specifics in Romulan interspersed with more Vulcan gibberish).* "I remember writing report on Khan Singh for high school heestory. Eet sound terrifying." *He said off-hand, still following and scribbling. He looked out at Jupiter then back to Kopano.* "You'll heve to forgive me for bed memory, but vhat vas 1997 Stockholm Convention again? Eet ees a vhile since heestory cless. So Ceneda continuing this vork still today? I assume you purchasing stetion efter Canedian government selling it, yes?"

(I remember writing a report on Khn Singh for high school history, it sounds terrifying. You'll have to forgive my bad memory, but what was the 1997 Stockholm.Convention again? It's been a while since history class. So Canada is continuing this work still today? And I assume you purchased the station after the Canadian government sold it, yes?)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 03:45 PM

"No, Britofrank put a stop to the experiments just after the war started, during the invasion. Quite impressive, actually, considering the fact that they were being attacked quite successfully by the Trotskyites at the time. With Canada under firm control of the British Empire nowadays, I think you Terrans are pretty safe. Though that's a relative term, what with the war." *This timeline may be slightly more divergent from home than previously thought. Or maybe the author just got a bit carried away a month or so ago filling in the gaps in the Alpha canon timeline with a mix of Memory Beta and a helping of speculation and educated guesswork, and this all matches the Prime timeline. Up to you, I suppose.* "I'm sure you'll have studied the Stockholm Convention at school. It's the one banning genetic engineering, remember? And no, it wasn't me who bought the station. I was just another cargo hauler like your friends when it all kicked off."

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 03:47 PM

"About es sefe as ve cen be, yes. Zough I spend more time in field covering outerspece, ees plenty of boots on ground on Earth. Not many writer breve enough to report from ze stars." *He said with a little chuckle, scribbling down more information information, mainly regarding the rings rotation and to look into it further.* "Oh, yes! Zat is vone. I remember now, yes. Sorry, sings like zet not brought up often in my trevels. I take eet you vorking vey up to stetion meneger?"

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 04:09 PM

(About as safe we can be, yes. Though I spend more time in the field covering outerspace. Plenty of boots on the ground on Earth. Not many writers brave enough to report from the stars. Oh yes, that one! I remember now! Sorry, things like that aren't brought up often in my traveks. I take you worked your way up to station manager?)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 04:31 PM

"Yes. The station was bought by a Maltese business magnate and given to his rebellious son, who'd been very... *public* about his dislike for his father and his desire to get away from the family. He got his wish, and finally shut up. Everyone won!" *Kopano laughs broadly for a moment, before he gets back to the story.* "Well, not quite everyone. Some of the stories that mister Micallef had told about his father before he got given the station got out, and suddenly no-one had ever heard of him. In any case, I arrived here when the new owner was just starting out, I met him and he took a bit of a shine to me. I'd been looking for stability, he'd been looking for an accountant, it was a match made on Deimos."

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 04:46 PM

*Ceered nodded quietly as the man spoke occasionally responding with a sound of agreement as he wrote.* "Ees uh.....oh vhat ees vord for eet.....seruh--seren--seven....fuck. you know vhat I mean, yes?" *He really was having problems with the word serendipity. Larger words were never his strength when he spoke Standard without the translator.* (It uh....oh what's the word for it [trying to say serendipity] fuck. You know what I mean, yeah?)

1

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 15-Apr-21 04:56 PM

"I think so. Serendipity?" *Kopano understands. He had to learn English and Russian himself before he fitted in back in Irkutburrow on Luna.*

Ensign Cerred King 15-Apr-21 05:17 PM

"Yes! Zet vord. English ees not forst lengvuege, I heve to sink of Polish vord forst sometimes to helping." *He smiled a little, thankful that Kopano knew the struggle.* (Yes! That word. English isn't my first language, I have to think of the Polish word first sometimes to help.)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 10:02 AM

"Right." *There's a little pause here, but Kopano starts talking again.* "I came to own the station about three years ago; Johan Micallef was a good man, but a little too heroic. So when we got a nitromethane leak down by the reactor, he insisted on accompanying the team sent to go and deal with it. Down so close to the reactor, he got a pretty nasty dose of neutrons. Doctor said he got about six Grays." *Kopano's previous happy demeanour becomes more somber, remembering his friend.* "He left me the station before it finally got to him. I renamed it, but otherwise I've tried to run it the same way he did. Show visitors a good time, and they'll probably have one. And that's good for everyone involved."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 10:12 AM

*Cerred looked up at the sudden shift in the man's emotions, cocking his head slightly.* "I em so sorry for your loss, sir. Eet could not heve been easy to endure zet vith him. He sound like he vas emezing person end I sink he vould be proud of ze hard vork you heve done here." (I am so sorry for your loss, sir. It couldn't have been easy to endure that with him. He sounds like and I think he would be proud if the hard work you've done here.)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 10:30 AM

"No, it wasn't easy. But it was some time ago." *Kopano stops walking, a little forced happiness again starting to permeate his features.* "So, what else do you think your readers will want to hear about?"

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 16-Apr-21 10:39 AM

“Mister Kopano I don’t mean to be rude but we’re on a very tight time table here. Would you be able to direct me towards the traders so that we can finish the primary goal of this? While I’m doing that I’m sure you can continue your interview.” (edited)

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 10:45 AM

*Cerred was not blind to the man's chaotic emotions but remained quiet. He turned back to Cinder then internally cursed himself for potentially derailing. He just figured that building a good rapport with the station manager would help their cause.*

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 10:45 AM

*Kopano is a little disappointed - he was on a roll, he thinks - but he understands. Launch windows wait for no man.* "Of course. Our accountant's office is a sixth-turn that way," *And he points back where the group has been coming from,* "you can't miss it." *Kopano grins again.* "You can't expect him to be particularly welcoming, I'm afraid. He's nice, in his own way, but it's... not a normal way. Damned good accountant though."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 16-Apr-21 10:46 AM

“I’ll work with who I get. Thank you again.” *She started walking that way.* (edited)

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 10:52 AM

"Ze bookkeeper et the paper ees ze seme vey. Ebsolutely hetes it vhen ve inveding hees 'eener senctum' as he call it." *Cerred said with a little smile and looked back at his notebook, scribbling a few more things before looking up again.* "Es our reader bese is primerily oarthbound, they may not be familiar vith structure like zis. Meybe you could telling me more ebout ze cen...centri....sen-tii-foog?" *Another thing to mentally chastise himself for. Hopefully Kopano understood his attempt at saying "centirifuge".*

(The bookkeeper at the paper is the same way. Absolutely hates it when we invade his "inner sanctum" as he calls it. As our reader base is primarily earthbound, they may not be familiar with a structure like this. Maybe you could tell me more about the [attempting to say centrifuge])

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 11:13 AM

"Right. The centrifuge. Well, out here, in orbit, we don't have a planet to provide us with gravity, and carrying one around is... a marvellously unrealistic proposition. We also don't have any technology that can create artificial gravity like you'd see in Star Wars or something, and the general consensus is that barring us being completely wrong about the nature of reality, artificial gravity of that sort is simply not possible. Yet spending time in microgravity can be very difficult compared to what humans are useful, so we need to find a workaround. We have to make do with what we can get, and thereby comes the centrifuge. It rotates, to create centrifugal force on its inside surface. It's sort of like swinging a bucket full of water horizontally around your head on a rope; try it and you'll see that, even under gravity, if you swing the bucket quickly very little water should spill out. But to make a high enough force to be useful, you either have to build a really large centrifuge or have it spin very quickly. A quickly-spinning centrifuge causes trouble with motion sickness, which leaves the only alternative making a large ring. Like this one." *Kopano taps the floor with his right boot; the left leg still isn't working.* "It's a real marvel of engineering. Fifty metres across, the ring rotates three and two thirds times every minute. It's been rotating, with maintenance breaks, for almost two decades without any breaches, and it's piped electricity, air and water across the joint connecting it to the rest of the station for just as long."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 11:37 AM

*Cerred remained quiet and nodded as Kopano spoke, occasionally looking up at the rotating ring. He wasn't sure about how a starfleet engineer would feel but he was definitely fascinated. He scribbled down some more notes in his same style he had been though now was hoping Altan could catch on to the make shift code he'd come up with.* "My brozzer vould heve loved to see zis. He vas mechenic in military, but zis vould heve been ebsolute dream for him to vork vith. I never could get heng of mechenical things though." *He chuckled a little and watched the rotation for a moment.* "Rotation meke this good observation deck too, yes?"

(My brother would have loved to see this. He was a mechanic in the military, but this would have been an absolute dream for him to work with. I never could get the hang of mechanical things though. Rotations make this a good observation deck too, yes?) (edited)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 12:03 PM

"Yes. Despite the small windows, most things come into view once in a while, if you're willing to wait a few seconds. The astrodome up in the main section is possibly better, though. It's technically an emergency traffic control platform, but it's usually open to visitors. I recommend you take a look, if you have the time."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 12:15 PM

"Zet vould be vonderful, yes. Mr. Kopano, do I heve your permission to enter view ozzer people who help keep ze stetion running es vell? Just to showing ze readers different jobs on stetion of course."

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 12:20 PM

"You'll have to ask them, but I don't have a problem with it."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 12:22 PM

"Sank you, sir. Do you heve reccomendation of other spots to check out vhile ve are here?" (Thank you, sir. Do you have reccomendations of other spots to check out while we're here?)

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 01:16 PM

*Survol followed Cerred around, quietly observing. He was rather impressed with how the intelligence officer handled this mission and the cover. He might even consider the fellow to be logical!*

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 16-Apr-21 03:26 PM

"Well, there's the catering facilities. A good meal's always nice after a long haul mission."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 04:41 PM

*Cerred nodded a little,* "Now zet you mention.....I em pretty hungry. Meybe you can showing us ze vey?"

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 06:00 PM

Survol crossed his arms behind Cerred, facial expression as flat as ever.\* "Beauty, eh?"

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 06:03 PM

*He looked back at Survol and nodded, smiling a little.* "Very. If I ever getting love partner, I may heve to showing zem zis view." *He said as he watched the rotations.* (Very. If I ever get a romantic partner, I may have to show them this view.)

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 06:04 PM

"Wouldn't it be more logical to take a mating partner into one of the hotel rooms for privacy?" *Survol blinked.* "Eh?"

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 06:09 PM

"Zet's for later. You heve to romencing zem forst. You cen't just go right for hitting ze sheets. I like to teking my partner for a nice deener end movie, maybe a nice stroll eftervards just ze two of us, just sveet sings, spend time togezzer. You know?"

(Thats for later. You have to romance them first. You can't just go right to hitting the sheets. I like to take my partner for a nice dinner and a movie, maybe a nice stroll afterwards just the two of us. Just sweet things, spend time together. You know?)

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 06:11 PM

"I do not know." *About as direct and frank as Survol ever was as he stood there with his arms crossed.*

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 06:13 PM

"Do not vorry my Cenedian friend, Ksawery vill teaching you vey to vin a heart." *He said with a smile and gave Survol a thumbs up.*

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 06:50 PM

"I was not worried." *The logic in the situation was quickly diminishing, but he had to conclude this was some part of Cerred's idea of cover, so he didn't protest beyond that.* (edited)

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 06:52 PM

*He shrugged and scribbled something in Vulcan at the bottom of the page before showing it to Survol.*

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 07:00 PM

*Survol wasn't sure how to react here. Should he answer a question scribed on paper in his language in front of their host? He also looked down at himself. He didn't appear to be holding anything. He cocked his head at Cerred as if looking for guidance. Unsure as to what to do, he returned to his cover's slang.* "This place is sure skookum, eh?"

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 07:02 PM

*Cerred raised an eyebrow but didn't question it. Instead he changed tactics as he looked at Survol.* "You hungry, friend?"

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 07:03 PM

"It is approximately fourteen point two four hours before I will require nourishment. However, there would be no harm in eating early." *Survol dropped his arms to his sides, ready to follow.*

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 07:11 PM

"Ah. Vell, meybe a little sneck vouldn't be too troubling? But I em femished!"

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 07:16 PM

"If our new friend would not be insulted by us meandering." *Survol noted the Station Owner with the soft tilt of his head.* "We certainly want to be good guests."

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 07:16 PM

"Agreed." *He nodded and looked back to Kopano.*

Dr. Amatea Janaii 16-Apr-21 10:28 PM

*A bubble appeared nearby, and out popped Mattie looking around curiously for any of her crewmates. It was hard to recognize some of them in disguises, but she at least recognized Cerred and Survol right away. Flashing a bright grin, she waved and walked over to the Vulcanoids, feeling much more confident now that she was surrounded by more familiar faces.* "Hey cutie pies!~ Getting up to trouble I assume?"

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 10:35 PM

*Survol stood there stiff and straight as he always did, beanie on his head and all black clothes (super inconspicuous!). He turned to Amatea at her introduction with a flat expression on his face, his words coming out equally as monotone.* "Greetings. Beauty of an evening. Eh?"

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 10:36 PM

*Cerred looked over at the new words on his glasses, turning in her direction. He went a little wide eyed and smiled, waving* "Allo! End no, ve are being good boys. Or trying to et least. You look very pretty today." *He smiled a little and tucked his hair behind his ear, cringing when he didn't feel the point.* (edited)

Dr. Amatea Janaii 16-Apr-21 11:13 PM

"Aw, thanks baby. Ain't you both just darling too?~" *She droned with a smile, stepping in close to the other two, though primarily so that Cerred could read her lips.* "But it is awfully nice to be off the ship, lovely night or no. Certainly helps though. So what's going on? Every one sort of pounced off." (edited)

Ensign Cerred King 16-Apr-21 11:16 PM

"Vell, the Ceptain is vorking on her trede for vhat ve need. And ve are just kinda exploring stetion vith ze meneger. Vould you like to joining us?" (Well the captain is working on her trade for what we need. And we are just kinda exploring the station with the manager. Would you like to join us?)

Lt. JG Survol 16-Apr-21 11:17 PM

"We are just out fer a rip, as he says." *Completely flat tone as Survol got into the whole jive of this slang thing for his cover. He glanced to Cerred and back again.* "You would indeed be welcome to join us."

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 17-Apr-21 12:11 PM

*His mind having wandered, Kopano snaps back to reality, hearing a sentence a couple of minutes out of date.* "Oh, don't mind me. Feel free to wander off if you'd like."

Ensign Cerred King 17-Apr-21 12:14 PM

*Cerred nodded and gave Kopano a thumbs up,* "Sank you, Sir. I sink ve are going to getting us some food. Ve seeing you around?" (Thank you, sir. I think we're gonna go get some food. See you around?)

Station Owner Kopano Leetile-Zadi BOT 17-Apr-21 12:15 PM

"I hope so." *Kopano waves them off, still smiling.*

Lt. JG Survol 17-Apr-21 12:17 PM

*Survol inclined his head ever so slightly toward the station owner as he moved off before turning his attention fully to Cedric when the man was out of earshot.* "Have you been in communication with the rest of the team? It would be beneficial to have a mission update so we might prepare ourselves for what we need to do."

Ensign Cerred King 17-Apr-21 12:23 PM

*Cerred nodded motioned for Mattie and Survol to follow him, looking back at Survol.* "Not yet. I teking notes end observing, but sending info to Altan vonce ve heve privecy."

Lt. JG Survol 17-Apr-21 12:58 PM

*Survol kept his eyes peeled on the area as they left the Station Owner, strolling casually through the habitat ring.* "Logical. Though, based on the data of my experiences in this time period so far, my sense is that, as the human expression says, 'this is too easy.' "

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 17-Apr-21 01:00 PM

*A low signal sounds in Survol’s ear, before speaking begins, warning him that Roderic was about to speak.*

*”As per the meeting, I will be updating the teams should the emergency need arise.”* *”In the absence of this, wait for word from Lieutenant Jittaz.”* (edited)

Lt. JG Survol 17-Apr-21 01:12 PM

*Survol's ear twitched ever so slightly when the signal came through, his auditory senses sharper than the average human. He brought his finger to his ear to tap and send a signal back.* "Greetings. Copy that."

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 17-Apr-21 02:01 PM

*”Thank you Lieutenant, but do pick something more subtle than copy that.”*

Lt. JG Survol 17-Apr-21 02:02 PM

*Survol's lips tigthened, considering.* "Copy that.... eh?"

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 17-Apr-21 02:04 PM

*”A subtle Mmhm will suffice. You sound like a military officer, which will invite attention.”*

*”Even tapping your ear.”*

Ensign Cerred King 17-Apr-21 02:07 PM

*Cerres looked over when Survol said 'Copy that' and raised an eyebrow. He shook his head slightly and had pulled out a PADD made to look more time appropriate, tapping on it idly while he wandered a little way away, looking for a private spit. He took some quick pictures of his notes and sent them to Altan.*

Lt. JG Survol 17-Apr-21 08:00 PM

*Survol glanced around, not seeing anyone from the station present and not particularly concerned as there didn't appear to be a cover to be blown. Still, he stood around with a flat expression, simply being Cerred's wingman.*
