  • Natural Athlete: (Rolled: 1d8. Rolls: 1. Total: 1)

  • [Mei] All right, Mei, let's do this. I love a challenge. I step into the machine and get set up.
  • [Mei] I return the salute, somewhat less snappy but still with respect and a slightly strained smile. "Sergeant Sung. I've never eaten that well in my life. I... I didn't even know you could eat a lamb." I swallow a bit of shame, admitting to the f…
  • [Mei] I hold my head up as I pass Sanchez. I'm an officer, even if I don't feel like one. I also need a meal before a workout, something simple and bland this time. And more water. I ought to ask Dai if I can up my shower clock. Maybe I can just …
  • [Mei] "Urg," I say. I lie there for a minute, gathering my thoughts. I don't want to blink, it's too bright in here. And I know the lights are off. I shouldn't have had the second glass of wine. The first one was nice. The last was nice. I need a…
  • [Thirds] Hmph. Obvious. Sloppy. Amateurs. I like to leave an empty suitcase sometimes near a stash. People like suitcases. Mark the spot with a rock or stick something. Easy to tell if someone's digging. The good stuff and those MREs is hidden bett…
  • [Mei] I watch her, concerned. I thought I had too much wine. I just manage to keep from rising up to follow her. But she's a big girl and I sense she would hate the attention. I'll have to check on her later, in private. Between the fire and Kseni…
  • [Mei] Dai is right. The pastry chef is lovely. I really am starting to feel the effects of this wine! My eyelids feel a little heavy, my thoughts just shy of being muddled. I'm very curious about the whatever it is... and the swirls stir echos of m…
  • [Mei] I am not counting calories, I am not counting calories, I am not. Instead I am saving room for dessert. And perhaps a late-night snack while I'm reviewing mission data. I'm already planning to have a double workout. I watch Dai's smooth, prac…
  • [Mei] I nod politely, but I don't trust him. I have command, regardless of Melzer-Togawa's interests, right? This is a Space Corps mission, and I'll have to watch my step. Between Dai and Church, this could be very rocky indeed. I try not to feel s…
  • [Thirds] Whoa. Oh. Oh! Yum. Sun is a real good kisser. Don't know what to do with my hands. Try to keep from falling over. She thinks I'm a find? What does that mean? Does she want to fuck me? Does Hugo? Don't want that. Wonder how Rue kisses. Sun …
  • [Mei] I shift in my chair, once. I think about what Dai said a second ago, You're right. It is rude to talk work in front of this dinner. No matter. I take a sip of water and proceed to cut another delectably large chunk of lamb meat."Mister Church…
  • [Mei] You can eat a lamb? I sure as hell want to. This smells heavenly. Even though we're drifting in the nigh-unknowable Grey, the animal human in the cage still wants to feast on flesh. It's a little unsettling. But I can't deny my urges here. I …
  • [Mei] My eyes get big. My nostrils flare. I've never had anything like this before. My tongue licks my lips in anticipation, and I feel my mouth watering. "Oh," It's almost a sigh. I might need a shower after this.
  • [Mei] The moment is heady, topped off by Ksenia's look to me, and I think I will take that last sip of my wine. I blink rapidly when I get the flash off Dai, holding it together, trying to play the psi vibe as just emotion, maintaining my warm smil…
  • [Mei] Not since I was a girl, maybe six? One of the fostering mothers in the arcology could actually bake; this was almost a scandalous display of, of, of humanity. Of non-arcology behavior. Of individuality. I have no idea how she screened into a …
  • [Mei] Church actually seems like a good manager. I take mental notes, but I suspect the Melzer-Togawa C-Level handbook covers a few grey and black areas when it comes to the Space Corps regulations. But Tylar told me to never discount the wisdom of…
  • [Mei] Cora's trying to tell me something, but the wine feels like it's interceding with the psionic matrix. I can't have a second glass. Who knows what might leak out. I can't also keep saying thank you to Church like a trained ape. "What about you…
  • [Mei] I'm drawn to Church's manners. He's so exact, very balanced. It's like a ballet of vegetables. I try to mirror, to learn the right way to hold a salad fork, how far to place a glass, to keep the napkin off the table. I feel out of my depth- t…
  • [Mei] I finish my bite of salad. I feel a lot of people looking at me, but maybe it's the wine. "Thank you, Private Sanchez. But I'm off the menu." I grin to take the sting out of the rebuff. It's just a compliment, right? He is cute. But stop it, …
  • [Mei] "Well, I am." I quietly say to another bite of salad. My eyes meet Ksenia's for a moment. Mine dip down first, then quickly back to her. "Much better than the galley on the Dauntless, right, Cribbage?" My smile is back in place, remembering t…
  • [Mei] "Ummm," I say, chewing with my eyes closed for a moment. The bitter and the sweet, the crunch and the smooth. I take another bite. It's very balanced. The fresh vegetables are indeed a rare treat, and I wonder if there's a hydroponics rig on…
  • [Mei] Lourdes does look smoking. I look at the salad. It's clear that Dai put a lot of time into it. Look at those apples. I wonder what the cheese tastes like. I spend a blink or two regarding the salad. Funny, the cheese doesn't look blue.
  • [Mei] I raise my glass. I'm in total agreement. "To our hosts," I murmur. I take a sip of the wine. It's sweeter than I expected, somehow smoky and light, and I find myself blinking appreciatively at Gaumata, sharing the moment. Or trying to. The…
  • [Mei] I'm glad for the warning for dress; I only packed two sets of travelling clothes, two sets of flight uniforms, and some boots. They're just grubby things meant for shuttles and comfort. Something about Lourdes' emphasis makes me spend more ti…
  • [Mei] I review the orders four times. I check, verify, and recheck the authorizations. Investigate and eliminate. No ambiguity that I can see. I chew on my lip for a while, staring at my terrarium, watching the little shrimp move about in their lit…
  • [Thirds] I want a shower. Been hours of labor in the hot. I don't mind. Grimy, though. Schlep work not as fun as scav work. I do some shoulder stretches, pull my legs back up to stand on one foot. The heater's not hooked up yet. Rue was gunna help…
  • [Mei] I have plenty of questions, but I don't want to piss off Dai even more. Still, I offer, "Captain Dai, Ms. Lourdes, please do let me know if I can be of any assistance. She's a good boat." I'm not eager, really I'm not. I just haven't flown in…
  • [Mei] Lieutenant Tylar had a lot of good advice. I suspect I'll need to use it all in this mission. Although this isn't my first rodeo, it's my first time in the wheelhouse. No, that's not right. I've been in the saddle before, but never the... No …
