The Mugbearer Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Andromeda Meanwhile in Kestrel's medbay, a body of dim blue energy moved. Her eyes flashed with life and discharges formed irises. She was lying on a basic medical bed. She didn't knew how much time has passed and what happened. She communed to her energy and detected a perfectly isolated blob of acid floating in her chest."Ohh, great!" she grumbled, taking a seat and looking around. She noticed two humans: a woman, Nicole, the doctor from the slaver ship, and an unknown male in Federation uniform. The last detail in his appearance puzzled Andromeda the most for she couldn't remember anything from the moment she allowed herself to unleash her energy. That was the most irritating part of her abilities. For a moment though her irritation changed to fear and she hastily lifted her arms, looking for her collar. It was in place."It's here," she admitted with relief and disappointment. She still couldn't quite get used to her transformation and it was pretty traumatizing. She looked again at the man and touched another button on her collar, revealing a holographic insignia of the High Command. "I want to know where am I and what happened," she said to Rehn. <<I am selling LEGO FTL Instructions on Gumroad!>> <<My Patreon page>> <<DIGITAL LEGO MOC COMMISSIONS - OPEN>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atton Rand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Nicole turned in surprise towards Andromeda, relieved to see her alive. "I can only tell you what I saw," Nicole replied. "The Ambassador got me to the shuttle. I saw you on the ground, I guess you'd passed out or something. Someone came by, took you, and then carried you into the shuttle. We're on a federation ship, so we should be safe, but that's about all I know at this point." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visaru Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC ZOSS Zoss had kept pretty much to himself since the attack of the mantis. His dreams were still haunted by those images of death and carnage, and those feeling of absolute terror and near death. He had never been the most social, but being haunted by those events had made him even more introverted than usual, and had spent most of his time in his cabin or avoiding other people. After four days, however, he felt it was time to stop. He slid down a hallway, not entirely sure where he was going, but determined to finally figure out more about this ship he was on. -------------- Tarrok | Korzaa | Verak | Kirik -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mugbearer Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) IC: Andromeda Since the male human stood silent, not giving any answers, Zoltan woman felt even more irritated. Nicole's explanation didn't made any difference since Andromeda still had no definite information about what happened. There was some fight, that's she figured. She passed away from something, probably a direct acid shot. She touched her chest on the level where the acid was hanging. Then someone picked her up right before the shuttle left. That was really nice from him and Andromeda promised to herself that she'll find that man and thank him.This ship they were on probably was the one captain Geiste met last time. It was a Federation vessel that pretend to be the one of League. That was curious, puzzling, strange. More over, the fact that Andromeda didn't recognize it meant that it was something completely new and very secret.Her thoughts were interrupted by two more individuals in Federation uniform. Since Zoltan didn't turn-off her holo-projector, they could see her insignia. She looked at them and grumbled."You owe me some explanation, humans. And I owe a thank you to your operative that picked me up."

It was obvious that Souper was planning on visiting, if not spying in. For now, it seemed, they could only worry about the mental presence that was tormenting the poor girl, "Hello Ashley" said the slug, "I suppose your visitor came again? Talking to one's self isn't healthy, especially when it actually is another person inside of you. Or is it a different presence this time? No matter, I have no idea what you were talking about, but I need a reason from you as to why I shouldn't just go to the Commander of this mission and mention that we have a castaway in your noggin?" the Slug said, grating as usual as xhe talked far too much.

Xomeron Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC: Can had hardly been seen since his demotion. Personally, he thought it was ridiculous. He had been sent on this mission because he was capable of acting with initiative when it counted. And the moment Can had designed a plan to do that(which was simple and obvious. capture and incapacitate the Mantis, beam them over to the enemy ship as 'tribute', get the supplies, kill two birds with one stone when the Mantis came to and savaged the slavers) he had had his position cut out from under him by a Vendarian battlefield politician. It left a bad taste in Can's mouth, and, frankly, caused him to wonder about his career choices. If he'd finally decided to accept promotion after Earth, he would have been in command of a regiment by now. Maybe even a low-g assault regiment, with a solid band of Belters under his command. He'd never wished for command before, but at the moment, that sounded nice. No aliens, no Vendarians, just other people from the Belts against the Mantis hordes. Can quickly decided that that was ideal; the moment this mission was over and he got back to civilized space, he'd be requesting a transfer to a Low-G regiment. Even if he was still a First Lieutenant then, command of a platoon sounded significantly better than the backroom politics and interpersonal bickering that Can expected to characterize the rest of this mission. Can had spent two days doing suit work, starting with removing the astrionics panels from the slaver ship and delivering them to engineering. As the salvage operaton had progressed, Can became more and more useful. Eventually, the ship's gravity had been turned off and the air had been pumped out, at which point Can was quite useful, as the most experienced zero-g operative of the group. While he had no real training in engineering, he wasn't useful in the really delicate operations, but he was handy enough with a toolkit and a welder to be of some use. With the ship fully scrapped after two days, Can had gone to work on the teleporter. Like any machine based on quantum effects and alien technology, the machine was finicky, and needed constant adjustment even when not in use. Worse than that, the teleporter's built in sensor suite had to learn to talk to the Kestrel's entirely new sensor system, which took both mechanical and computer work, and occupied the majority of his time. Which, of course, lead Can's mind back to his demotion. Unjustly dropping from Security Chief to Teleport Officer was less than pleasant. That being said, thag thag thaggity thag thagness.-Rover "A memo was sent to Astaria asking if it would at all be possible to make a flying goat.""The Astarians responded that making a goat fly would be trivial; making it land safely would be another matter entirely."

Constructelf Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC Vincent"Still no word on the Nanites?" Vincent had been anxiously waiting for a report on just what had scratched the ship several days ago so that he could do a full repair. At their last stop, Vincent had only succeeded in making an emergency filling before the Mantis attacked. The now disassembled pirate ship had given him lots to work with, but it was extremely difficult to perform repairs while floating around in zero-g situations. So Vincent had to force himself to forget about the whole thing and proceed with his regular job. Which just so happened to be to clean up after newly demoted Lt. Skinter. The man couldn't possibly do everything, so Vincent was now covering for the man as well as "borrowing" the parts that Can ended up not using. Still, he hadn't actually seen the man despite working in such a close assignment. "How does he hide so well?" IC Geburah"Kelezaag, of Clan Kriggnaft. First impressions so far indicate a general distrust of others as well as an air of secrecy. Could be up to something, but so far, has been nothing but a loyal crew member. Threat level: low-medium." "Souper Saladd. Has demonstrated potentially hostile verbal behavior towards the other crew members. However, has shown no sign of potential threat. Threat level: low, though watch the tongue." "Signi Ovechkin. Unusually interested in human sports culture. Still uncertain as to whether or not to petition for revoking his TV privileges, due to dysfunctional (and potentially destructive behavior). Threat level: very low when on duty, medium when watching the Chicago Bears." "Ace Blotts. While appearing as a soulless killing machine at first, closer examination if his behavior has revealed traces of care for the rest of the crew. Further observation definitely required. Threat level: unknown." "Rainbow. Time will tell of (s)he is the sanest person on this ship. Very good at addressing people's personal problems. Possesses a large ego, but this has not caused any conflicts so far. Threat level: very low." The Zoltain ambassador had taken it upon himself to keep tabs on each of the crew members. So far, he had notes on only five crew members, but it was a start. One aspect of his mission was to check to see if the Kestrel could actually survive long enough to get to its destination; Geburah wasn't betting a lot of money on that one, but then again, he had only been onboard for four days. Further observations of more crew members were required before he could reach a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kothra Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 IC (Karin): Karin almost stumbled as she crossed the threshold into the medbay. She stood there at the entrance, propped against the wall, slowly looking over the gathered crew members with half-open eyes before her gaze finally stopped on Rehn.Since the Mantis and slaver attacks had finally subsided Karin had been busy dealing with individuals picked up from the slaver ship, tending to their wounds and setting up medical profiles for them, and checking up on the rest of the crew to deal with minor injuries and any less obvious issues. While all of that went pretty smoothly, this particular crew member had put more than a bit of effort to stay away from the doctor as long as possible, so Karin just set up an automatic alert and used the time in between to finally get some rest. Fixed on Rehn, her eyes opened fully and she spoke. "Great that you're actually here. It'd be such a pain to have to have and officer get you in here."She sighed. A sort of bored, tired sigh.

No Vendarian was. They knew too much about the universe for that. The fact that it simply wasn’t proper for people she wasn’t related too, long-time friends with or…involved with were seeing her face was also…extremely disconcerting. So, embarrassed, angry, and more than a little annoyed, she responded to the well-meaning doctor’s query with a snarl. “No. No I won’t. I was just tossed out of my office by some…” She lapsed into Vendarian at this point, sparing the room from understanding a very creative suggestion as to what the maintenance staff could do with themselves. “I’m hear because I got a breath of some fumes or another. As if exposing myself to the entire crew isn’t bad enough, they made me…” She lapsed into Vendarian again. It should be noted that Vendarian has, perhaps, some of the most unique curses known to man. “…strut through the ship so you can stick me with something or another to make sure I’m well enough for duty….” OOC: She's normally much nicer. But being asked to walk around unprotected (no gasmask) in a ship with aliens on it, in addition to being thrown out of her office....well. The results speak for themselves. Edited May 5, 2014 by Basilisk I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhangku Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 IC: Souper Saladd, Carrier of the Unconscious Just as the slug began to help Ashley down the hall to where Ojeda's quarters might be and then Ashley slumped to the ground. As soon as that happened, the slug felt an enormous about of mental energy. Oh no... Picking up Ashley, xhe immediately headed to the medbay, "Help! Ashley, she...she's been attacked with some sort of mental attack." xhe declared as soon as the slug entered the room. By the time he'd put the girl on one of the free beds, it had been a few minutes. This was worrying. Who was capable on board the ship who could do this without them noticing? No one. So who could have done this? She was going to tell the slug something before she passed out, but what? The slug turned to the doctor,"Get the Colonel down here. We have a situation."
