  • [Mei] "Language pardoned, Sergeant!" I'll put up my hand for a in-air strongarm grasp the way grunts do. Rise, meet, or fail, I am looking forward to his challenge! I am going to ignore the misplaced innuendo; he's off the market. There's cuter opt…
  • [Mei] What? No, I'm not hitting on him. Just scheduling. "I don't think she needs to work out." I quick my mouth for a moment, thinking about how I could compete with her enhancements. It would be a good competition. I wonder of what he's uncertain…
  • [Mei] I make notes of the spices. Something tells me that Dai is the cook- Lourdes seems somehow too devil-may-care to bother preparing food beyond pulling the tab. Now I have another reason to try for Dai's good side. It's not yet time for the gro…
  • [Mei] Cribbage leaves. Once I'm closer to settled, I'll give my bunk a critical eye as a visitor would see it. Hmm, I'll readjust the terrarium so I see it over the porthole as I walk in. That will look interesting. Alone, I'll take my tablet to w…
  • [Mei] Growing up in the arcology and then straight to the Academy and then into Psi Corps, all of my personal effects can fit into a standard foot locker. It's in storage at ODS Janus next to thousands of others. I have a few things for this trip, …
  • [Mei] I tell everyone that the FTL transition makes me sleepy and happy, like coming out of a good dream. And I tell them that I usually dream about doing gymnastics, or running a marathon. That kind of focused, directed, satisfyingly physical work…
  • [Mei] I return the salute, by the book, by instinct. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, but it feels good. I didn't expect my chevron to have a Psi Corp stripes, but I've got brass. I make sure to keep a fool look off my face for the men. Sanchez is kin…
  • [Mei] I blink at Ksenia's look, taken aback. "I'll see you after the FTL jump, Lourdes. Fair wind and steady stars." I turn to head out, then remember to nod goodbye to Cribbage. I walk to the common area, pushing thoughts of everyone out of my he…
  • [Mei] I'm not a stuck-up. Just trying to find my place. Dai's pissy mood is getting to me. But I guess I am a spook to Lourdes. And wow, Ksenia, she's fast. I look impressed. "Nice catch, Cribbage!"
  • [Mei] Ksenia thinks I'm a badass. I definitely flush with pride on that one. But she didn't call me Taban, and I notice. But she's right, I'm an officer now. I'm not a cadet. I shake my head, eyes closed briefly. "Thank you, Cribbage. Just a littl…
  • [Mei] Dai puts me in a low mood. But I understand where she's coming from. It's her ship and a spook is flying it. I'm glad to find Ksenia and Lourdes. They look like they are getting along. I'll stand by the doorway, looking hopeful to be include…
  • [Mei] "Ksenia?" I'll wait to see if she looks at me. Either way, I'll ask, trying to be casual, "Are you okay?" Is she upset? She doesn't seem to be glad to see me at all.
  • [Mei] I watch Church go. I feel like I didn't pass an oral exam. Cora's song make me feel cold, and a rash of goosebumps roll up my arms and neck as I watch Gaumata go. I take a step closer to Ksenia without realizing. I hope she doesn't push me aw…
  • [Mei] "Mister Church." I smile lightly. "I'm looking forward to this assignment." I think about rising to the bait and asking who up the food chain is so interested in telling a Director of Melzer-Togawa about a simple Ensign. But I'm not going to …
  • [Mei] Nineteen thousand klicks for a psionic broadcast is more than a little alarming, positively unhuman. I'm working on various exploration scenarios, trying to anticipate likely failures and opportunities, and I make a note to myself that I real…
  • [Mei] I nod and stand up. I'm a little let down she doesn't want to talk more. I look aside, thoughtful, and wonder if her time away was like my time in the Needle. Maybe she's scared of me. I feel that way sometimes. "Okay, Cribbage." I swallow. I…
  • [Mei] Hmm, MV-class. I call up some notes in the briefing, start planning for gravity differences and potential atmo hazards. Looks mostly okay, but there's a few flags I need to review in detail, some chemical traces, geological notations... I bli…
  • [Mei] I nod once, decisively, accepting her declaration. I still think of her as a superior officer, and I probably won't tell her that. She's unquestionable more experienced, and she saved me a time or two back on that alien ship. I would've died …
  • [Thirds] I blink a few times. Whistle a long, sad note. "Helluva lot of food, that was." I've seen pictures of such wealth. But condensed here, all ruined. I regard the shelves, shake my head. No peaches, too. But hey, cranberry sauce. Love that st…
  • What needs to be transwiki'd (so to speak) thus far?
  • [Mei] Ksenia and I arrive together, and I'm glad we're able to sit next to each other. Dai and Lourdes are next to each other, too. I nod politely but briefly at Gaumata. I find myself wondering what gender ze was born with. As a woman, ze spends t…
  • [Mei] Ksenia heads for the berth. Our berth. This will be like training days at the Academy again, having a roommate and study buddy. I smile a secret smile, reminiscing for two steps. I'm used to the ship gravity by now, moving easily besides Ksen…
  • [Mei] I look at Lourdes. She's so causal, but a little rude to Ksenia. Do they know each other? Or is that just Cribbage? I think she could handle quite a lot, she's been in the trenches. But maybe real soldiers don't play war games. "What's its na…
  • [Mei] Dai and Lourdes seem like an odd pair, so different. And I know I could fly loops around Dai! How long has she been a pilot, anyway? Hmph. I wonder if the ship has a zerogee workout room? I'll show her who's got the right stuff. I don't think…
  • [Thirds] He probably shouldn't be walking. I'm worried about the state of Monroe's meds. Gotta get out there and look for more. He'll see me fret a little, thinking. I'll look over the maps soon. He looks at Rue a long couple hearbeats. I wonder i…
  • [Thirds] Oh. I see a hungry look in Sun's eye. A certain twinkle. Rue had a look like that. Shit, I need a map for girls. Can't ask Robinson. This is hard. Now what? I feel calluses on her palm. Archery. I suddenly feel real thirsty. Cross the t…
  • [Thirds] Totally help Clarity. I can haul. I can lift, I can bucket brigade. Those cracks look ugly. I wonder what else is close to collapse. I look at folk, at houses. "I should check roofs. Anyone who wants." Aw, shit, I really liked this issue …
  • [OOC: Seduce, roll+hot, marking xp] (Rolled: 2d6. Rolls: 4, 6. Total: 10)
  • [Thirds] A mom... "I've been running my whole life," and I stop short. Bite my lips. "Too much from the bad. But it feels good to run." Some things better left unsaid. I look aside at her, smile. Tense back one foot, then run run run run and leap…
  • [Thirds] I laugh at the idea of people with rocks in their bellies. I know another story kinda funny. "I heard one about a scav was hungry. Went to a hold, asked for food. Nobody helped her. So the scav says, I'll make stone soup. Food from a rock.…
