  • [Taban Mei] I contemplate my yellow-red-orange swirl on my spoon. It could almost be a piece of Jupiter, or a sun. I look to Dai. "Does your source cook as good as you do?" I take my delicious bite and savor its complexity.
  • [Taban Mei] The Jane keeps a much better table than anything in Psi Corps. A girl could really get used to this. I wonder how Csorba finds it? I'll look over to see what he thinks. Of course I toast the Stalker Jane! "To the Jane!" I echo. When it…
  • [Taban Mei] I'm speechless, full of love and sadness and energy and desire. Her words touch me, and all I can do is bask in wonder. Our fingers are tangled. Our legs intertwined. I'm falling into her eyes. "You enrapture me, Ksenia," I breathe.
  • [Taban Mei] "Oh, my heart, my heart." I cup your face, stroking your beautiful face, we're lying on our sides, facing each other, pressed close. My toes against your shins. I shake my head. "You're not... don't feel incomplete. Your Mei is here, yo…
  • [Taban Mei] I set aside my pencils, and carefully put away the unfinished drawing so nothing will smudge. I look back to my Ksenia, and touch her lightly on the shoulder. We have less than a minute. "I'm so grateful I can share this with you." I wa…
  • [Taban Mei] I'm working on my sketch of Ksenia Cribbage. I asked her to pose however she wanted, something comfortable and repeatable. I'm drawing my love, a little each night. There's a warm, contented smile on my face as I flick back and forth be…
  • [Taban Mei] "Misty Brown," I say, shaking my head. "'Heiress.'" I raise an eyebrow at Csorba. "Really?" At least a trid star or pole dancer gets to do something. I am not dyeing my hair blonde.
  • [Taban Mei] I pat Lourdes' arm, she seems to run on when it comes to Ksenia. I know the feeling. "Crystal." Dai has a good point. "What are our covers?" I pick up the ident package for review. Misty Brown is probably a zerogee pole dancer. I could…
  • [Taban Mei] I touch my own hair, my face softening a little as I imagine Ksenia with long hair. "Ms. Lourdes, is there a civilian spare arm in the cyberdoc kit?" She can print out some civvie clothes to hide the rest.
  • [Taban Mei] With a line like that, I can't not. "Good thing we're not on Mars, then." I'll add a friendly smile, but a not-to-be-fucked-with edge. "Cribbage, do you think we can use your history to get Lana-slash-Mina away from Dr. Yu? I imagine t…
  • [Taban Mei] That's Lana? She was a dancer? Hm. I see why Ksenia was... Put that thought aside, Mei. Ksenia's with you now. Lana's got bigger boobs, and I unconsciously cross my arms. I look at Ksenia mildly, listening to what she tells Csorba.
  • [Taban Mei] My eyes glitter. "Perhaps, then, we have found the leverage we seek for Dr. Yu. And now, Mr. Csorba- I need to know."
  • [Taban Mei] "Yes, Ensign Cribbage." A ghost of a smile is at my lips, and I feel a little shiver of happiness for her promotion. "It may be simple business, getting out of Polity jurisdiction, but I don't think we'll be that lucky. Can you tell us …
  • [Taban Mei] I brief the crew, slipping in a crack about MegaCog to lighten the mood. I tell them what we've found about Jax's background on Mars, and Lucidus and the Four Fingers Gang. "This could go from grey to black if we don't keep our eyes on…
  • [Taban Mei] "I do like grapes," I muse. The display holos are reflected in my eyes as I think about the last dinner they served. I skirt my thoughts away from Gaumata; a moment is enough right now. "Would you mind? I'll pass on the 'meat,' though."
  • [Taban Mei] I quirk my mouth. Hopefully, I ask, "Are you cooking?"
  • [Taban Mei] I nod, granting her the point. "Maybe we'll get some real answers yet." I thumb the all page. "Attention, AdAstra personnel, please report to the Lounge for briefing, followed by theories and light planning." I deadpan it, but I share a…
  • [Taban Mei] Ah, Lourdes. She's got some salt. But I'm grinning with her as I slide the last of the data defenses away. "Can do, Dinah!" I'm gleeful with the success. I'm tapping my teeth with the stylus as we read the last pieces of the family tre…
  • [Thirds] I nod. Appreciate the honesty. He'll talk when it's right. I lope off into the night. Check on Amy at least. Rue or Cinch if paths cross.
  • [Thirds] "Rue's where she wants to be. Cinch, too." More seriously. "Yeh, I'mma check on Amy." Clarity don't look so hot. "Um. You okay?"

  • [Taban Mei] All right, Mei, let's see what you can dig up and synthesize out of your data and Lourdes' data. There's bound to be something, right? Discovery: d10 - The sleuthing has my mind leaping from possibility to possibility. Comms: d6 - Thi…
  • [Thirds] "Furrow, I know." I stoop, run two fingers in the dirt. Furrows. "Like a face." I look a worried look. Point to the little post above my nose. "Who else Grome want to kidnap? Rue? Sweet Cinch?" Can't believe that. I shake my head, dismiss…
  • [Thirds] I scowl. Talk low. "Maybe nothing. But sounded like Kite's paying Corbett and Foster. They wanna kidnap a lady o' Monroe. Grome got a grudge with anyone?" I tilt my head, squint. I pull back one foot up to my butt, stretching. "Harrow tryi…
  • [Taban Mei] "Hmm, this is notable." I tell Dinah about Yu's anglicized name. This touches a chord with me. I don't know my own heritage, yet this man didn't like his enough to merit throwing it away. Vanity? A crime? White people? Blackmail? I muse…
  • [Taban Mei] I glaze over the pablum. AIU is interesting, though, so I work to punch a hole to pull what I can from their bases. Anything from the surrounding city, too. Olympus Mons is a big place; Unitown less so. "Listen to this, Lourdes. 'MegaC…
  • [Taban Mei] The lounge is comfortable, so I'm dressed so. A light ranked shirt, pants with plenty of pockets, and bare feet. "I work a little faster on a tablet, but I can make use of a mechanical setup. I knew a fellow in Academy, Nelson, he would…
  • [Taban Mei] The depth of it all hits me. Her commitment. "I didn't know you sold it all, heart." I just share a silence with her, my own heart getting full. Holding her close, lightly daydreaming, I glance at my terrarium, still in its packing box,…
