RP: YSS Mikomi [Completed] Mission 3: Patrolling The Southern Border

[Fred]

Kotori extricated herself from the curtain to stand in front of him. "To my knowledge, the only showers are next to the power armor bays. Oh..." she flushed in embarassment. "My apologies. This must be nothing new to you. You were on such a ship before."

Heck of a time to be skimming over old war notes. She grouched inwardly as she accessed her secondary memory for the actual historical details that surrounded the man standing before her.

 

[Wes]

"Well, on the Sakura-class, there's showers, but this is a Nozomi. From what I read, there's only baths on the ship, one on each side. They're rather ornate, supposedly. We could check them out if you want," Rufus shrugged, pulling up a holographic map to point them out to her.

 

[Fred]

( OoC : Note to self. When doing my homework and reading up on internal ship layouts, make sure I'm reading about the right ship. )

Kotori's face froze at she looked at the holographic image and she seemed to wilt. "Okay, this is embarrassing. Having butterflies in my stomach is no excuse to confuse two ship designs."

She straightened up. "Thank you, Taisa, but it won't be necessary. I'll be able to find my way if I load up the right schematics."

She rolled her eyes as she thought back to the person whom had accosted him with his science project just as soon as Sydney had stepped past the airlock. "Besides," she made a small giggle, "do you really want to go out now and be trapped in introductions for the next half-hour just so I can see two bathrooms?"

 

[Wes]

"I guess you're right," Rufus chuckled. "I suppose we can hide out here until dinner time, and then formally intoduce myself tonight. This your first time on a starship?" he asked the pretty neko.

 

[Fred]

"If my first time serving on a ship of the line? Yes." she nudged the rear of her left ear once before adding, "Otherwise, I've only been on the Azalea, shuttles and the Ketsurui Star Fortress."

She glanced over at the inactive monitor displays and then back at him. "I would have joined the Star Army sooner, but I applied to the Star Army Research Administration's advanced space armor combat training. I spent over the last six months there and, well, here I am."

 

[Klarth]

Natalie´s fuming about the lack of action lately continued at the bathroom. Nothing´s better to calm down the spirit but the warm water, according her old master teachings.
"Now what the hell is going on... (bubble) (bubble) it sure got damn noisy outside (blurp!)... did the cap´n sent the whole ship to sleep now?"
Natalie stared at the door for some seconds, deciding between finding out what´s going on outside or staying at the warm water...

...

"Maybe the cap´n wasn´t all wrong after all... a lil nap wouldnt hurt anybody..." - Natalie said below the water

"But, how about if there´s some serious cr*p going on outside, and me taking a warm bath in the middle of the space. My master would be so damn proud of me... ONWARD!"

 

[Tom]

Tom was reading about all the news on his bridge console. New arrivals rocked, although the lack of space would prove to be a problem. But hey, maybe he could put a couple covers down on the floor, grab a pillow and call it a sleep over. It'd be just like when his buddies came over and they went camping during the Raltean winter! Damn, those were good times.

"Heeyyyyy Suzziiiiiii looks like we've got ourselves some new friends! But what's going on with Kestral? Something happen to him?"

He spun out of his chair and onto his feat, walking the bridge and grinning somewhat stupidly, unable to contain his enthusiasm.

 

[Wes]

Rufus wandered around the room for a bit before sitting down once more, this time on the edge of his bed, and let his upper body fall back onto the soft covers, letting out a long yawn as he stretched out on his back. "I wonder if we'll get any action," he pondered aloud.

 

[Fred]

Kotori looked at him for a moment and finally relaxed her pose. The Taisa seemed to have dropped the formalities altogether for the time being.

She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed besides him, not hesitating to make herself comfortable. "Well, this is a military scout ship, so, if there's trouble brewing, we would probably be the first to know."

She paused, looked at him with her large yellow eyes and then asked him. "Well, like you said, we have until dinner time. Would you be interested in a massage?"

 

[Wes]

"Ho-oly shit," Rufus silently thought to himself, feeling totally blessed. He turned to look at the wonderfully generous young Nekovalkyrja's face, giving her a grateful smile. "You just said the magic words!" he grinned. "I'd absolutely love that...I can see you're going to go far in the Star Army," he chuckled. If her piloting skillls were as great as the warm company she offered, she would be in his eyes, pretty much a perfect Nekovalkyrja. Wow.

 

[Tom]

"Oh shit! Where are my manners!?" Tom said out loud. Obviously, the newcomers on the ship would enjoy a welcome, and with the Captain out of commission so to speak, THAT responsibility fell on TECHNICAL SPECIALIST TOM FREEMAN.

The Geshrin burst out of the bridge, passing several of the visitors and crew on the ship, acrobatically weaving through them as necessary, passing a "hello!" here and there on the way to grabbing his audio player.

After grabbing that and a couple music disks, he slid back to the bridge, popped in a light country album from Ralt, which sounded like a mix of folk/bluegrass and country and played it.

This was going to be freakin' AWESOME.

Flipping on the intercom and keeping the music low so it only accomodated his voice, the former actor slipped into a thick country accent as he greeted the crew.

"Welcome, ya'll newcomers t' our humble aboad, t' YSS Mikomi. We'z a tight group 'round these here parts, been through some action. I 'ere ya'lls're big ship people, but I 'tink you'll find us t' be more than enough hospitable t' make up for our tadpole size. If ya'lls be needin' some help orientin' yerself to this here ship, feel free t' ask any o' t' crew, includin' yours truely, Tom "Tap Happy" Freeman. Ya'lls be sure t' enjoy yourselves now!"

With a click, Tom turned off the PA system and laughed. That was TOTALLY worth risking reprimand or demotion. He'd have this memory for the rest of his life...

 

[Fred]

"Well, did you expect me to go in the private quarters of one of the most gorgeous males I've ever seen and do nothing?" she seemed bemused as she hunched forward and placed the tips of her hands carefully the nape of his neck, feeling around the vertebrae before kneading the muscles there.

Her fingers moved with purpose - she obviously knew what she was doing instead of just rubbing randomly. After a moment, she backed away and stated. "It would be easier if you presented me your back."

Then, the PA came to life with Tom's message making the Neko start. She raised her head, listening to the blaring message with obvious distate. Once it came to an end, her ears shuddered once irritably and she asked Sydney "Well, you we're the one whom wanted some action. I hope this wasn't what you had in mind."

 

[Wes]

"Mikomi," Rufus said, sitting removing his uniform jacket to reveal a navy blue T-shirt, "Please put me on the intercom." He paused a moment, and then said, "Attention Mikomi Crew: In two hours, before dinner, there will be an assembly in the ship's port-side main passageway, where I will conduct an inspection of the crew and demote whoever just made your entire ship bad. That is all."

Annoyed at having to handle business in the middle of his attempt at relaxing, but not willing to give up this pretty Neko's offer of personal attention, Rufus shed his t-shirt and then repositioned himself chest-down in the bed's center. It did seem a little unusual to him that Kotori was so kind to him so quickly, but he certainly wasn't going to complain about it!

 

[Tom]

Awww dammit, Tom thought to himself. He was perfectly fine taking the blame for his actions, but he didn't want anyone else to take the fall.

"I'll make up for it, guys, I promise." He said to nobody in particular as he grabbed his stuff and mopedly returned it, then walked to the kitchen.

The ship didn't have a cook on it, and he wasn't going to make the ship look WORSE by having the AI make some order-by-numbers dinner.

This would be two hours put to good use, dammit!

 

[Fred]

The Neko eyed Rufus as he lay prone on the bed and shifted so that she was kneeling parallel to his torso. She lowered her hands and pressed down firmly just below his shoulderblades where a nerve cluster was and then released. His respite was short-lived though as she began stroking along the muscles of his back, encouraging bloodflow.

Now that she had started, there was only one way to describe what she was doing to him. To be blunt, she was incredible. Her hands we're soft and warm and despite the firmness in her gestures, her purring sent pleasurable vibrations in his back.

"Well, at least I know one thing now." she said huskily. "I'm probably not the only odd one in this ship. A loudmouthed engineer, a neko-eared geshrin and a Nepleslian war hero. I could do worse."

 

[Blackdragon]

Well looks like I can set this suit back where it was. The conversation with the sargent was interesting he got his answer and a little more, when she starded talking about her mom and all the things they did it put a frown on his face, her family was alive and safe and his were dead. He pushed the thought out of his mind and set the phalanx back and made his way to the exit out of the hangar. "It was nice talking to you sarge im heading to my quarters to get ready for the inspection," his frown turned into the smile after hearing the messages on the speaker, roken looked over at the mindy "wouldnt want slaphappy tom to get upset," he wanted to stay and talk but socializing was really not his strong point as he made his way to the door "you miss your family sarge."

 

[Wes]

Rufus grinned, feeling like he was in heaven. "I'm sure it'll be rather interesting. Not only do we have quite the crew, but there's some weird readings coming from the planet we're approaching. I'm going to give the briefing on what the scout ships have reported after the dinner." The Taisa closed his eyes, reveling in the sensations on his back. "You have mesmerizingly skilled hands."

Meanwhile, outside, the YSS Oniyuri took the spot where the YSS Azalea had recently docked, and began to unload its crewmembers it had brought from the YSS Confidence.

 

[Fred]

She laughed, her voice reminiscent of tinkling bells. "My hands aren't the only part of me that's mesmerizing, as you so charmingly put it."

Mostly done with his upper back, she slip her hands down to start kneading at the small of his back. "The Mikomi is my first assignment, but tell me, what brings you to a humble scout ship?"

 

[Kayto Styles]

Kato was rooting through a basket of fruit when both messages were played. His ears flattened out over the bad taste in music but returned to normal once Rufus mentioned "inspection of the crew".

"God damnit I knew it I just knew it. He's here to evaluate us..." Finally finding an apple to his appeal he bit into it and thought about the up coming inspection. Now half way his apple he headed to leave the wardroom and go make sure no one was poking around his things. As the door open Tom Walk through and Kato stopped.

"Well is it ain't Ye Haw Tom "Tap Happy." Smooth move over the intercom you goof. Right when the SA sends an inspector our way. I warned you that they were going to do those psych exames.... now how do you think your going to look?" Patting Tom on the shoulder he shook his head yet still smiled. "But it was damn funny." Bitting into the apple he nodded and waited for Tom to share a few words.

 

[Wes]

Rufus grinned at Kotori's innuendo. "Oh really? I'll have to experience the rest of your mesmerizing body parts," he chuckled, while his imagination went wild and his body began to show the telltale signs of a man under a woman's spell.

"I got these orders out of the blue," Rufus admitted. "Just hours ago I was commanding a gunship. It's a little bigger but not that much. The crew is great and they have some incredibly wild parties. Perhaps if you'd like, I'll take you to the Sakura after this mission, and show you all her nooks and crannies?"
