The newly appointed captain of the YSS Senbu; Shizuka Endo paced back and forth on the busy deck as she over saw the loading of the ship's supplies. The blonde haired Shosa was gazing over a data pad with a pensive look on her tanned features, those amber eyes of hers seemed to question the information she was browsing over.
Nyoko had her orders to report; it was exciting she had never had orders to go to an actual ship before. The YSS Senbu, she had heard it was a large ship but nothing could compare when actually seeing such a sight, it was amazing her mouth gaping for just a moment before she shook her head to regain her composer. Come now she was going to be late if she stood there like a moron she had to find who she was suppose to be reporting to. Looking across the deck she spied the only personnel wearing officers’ white and hurried over. "Hayashi Nyoko, reporting for duty?" She was slightly unsure of herself with a smile and a salute.
Shizuka tapped the data pad in her hand once more and then nodded confidently. Then she looked up to the new Santo Hei, quickly giving her a once over apprising gaze with her hand closed under her chin. "You look healthy, hmmm..." The strange officer approached closer and took an open hand and tapped the back side against Nyoko's abs, feeling particularly happy with the results she nodded once more and offered the Santo Hei a big toothy smile. "If you’re going to be under my command, you need to be lean, mean and one helluva fighting machine. Let's head in, we can talk more privately over something to eat; I’ve been making sure these monkeys don’t scratch my power armors all morning, so I missed breakfast." The eccentric Captain headed up to the entrance ramp and made her way into the ship.
The cured assessment of her was weird, Nyoko never liked being poked and prodded and scrutinized especially by someone she did not know, also it tickled and she wanted to laugh but held back. Her captain, she had deduced by the way she was being protective of the armors, was different that was for sure, but at the same time she had something Nyoko could identify with, she was sensible and wanted the job done, and that was perfectly fine with her. She did not respond with words to her response but bowed in respect and followed behind her. This was going to be interesting for sure.
Shizuka led the Hei though the halls running alongside the massive main repair bay, from the clear zesuaium windows on their left they'd be able to see a large amount of the engineering team work away busily at setting up all the equipment and testing the ship's internal equipment. Then the two came up to the vertical zero-gravity passage, Shizuka stepped in and up she went she'd take the new recruit sixteen-decks before she'd head out another shorter hall and turn into the only operating wardroom at the moment. "Aoi-chan!" Shizuka quickly yelled out as soon as she arrived in the room.
Then out from the back in the kitchen poked a little eight-inch-tall sprite already armed with a large wok in one hand. "Yes Shosa?" The cute blue haired, blue eyed sprite answered as she smiled happily to see people in the wardroom.
"Cook something up for me and the Santo Hei, I'm really, really hungry." Shizuka said with a puppy eyed look towards the sprite. The sprite quickly nodded and then vanished into the kitchen. "Take a seat Nyoko-hei," The Captain said as she headed towards one of the tables scattered about in the wardroom, she gestured towards a seat then took the one across from it and placed her data pad on the table top.
Fallowing a few paces behind Shizuka, Nyoko walked quietly looking all around in taking in all the sights of all the work going on. So much activity it was exciting she could feel the energy around her and enter her, normally she would be in knots, however she could lose herself in the energy of the ship and it was calming to her that was until she entered the wardroom. She felt the knots come again she was alone with her Shosa, and next she would probably be asked questions. Nyoko waited for Shizuka to sit before taking her own seat across from her. What was it she was going to be asked?
Shizuka tapped her data pad once more and the screen was filled with an interesting file with the header; 'Pride Wing.' "Santo Hei, Hayashi Nyoko, I've reviewed your file with some interest... it appears that you are a capable pilot and fighter. I have an idea where I'd like to place you onboard my crew, but..." the Shosa paused as she leaned forward and interlaced her fingers in front of her face as she contemplated, "there’s much more you can learn from talking with a person then just reading over their file." Shizuka's almost beast like amber eyes starred long and hard at the girl for a little over a second, and then she nodded, seeming as if she had read right through to the girl's inner most thoughts just from her piercing gaze. Was she reading her mind? Of course not... but the messy haired Neko was quite versed with reading people's aptitude from their facial body language and fire in their eyes, or at least she thought she did. "Tell me Hayashi-Hei, what do you think of working with others?" Shizuka asked, she decided to start the questions out easy to relax the Santo Hei before she got into the more intense questions.
Working with others? What an odd question, but it was a start, and Nyoko responded keeping her answer simple "working with others? I like working with others."
"Given the choice, to save a fellow crew member in jeopardy or complete a mission. Which would you chose? " Shizuka raised a brow watching the Santo-Hei’s expressions closely.
The usual question of wither to save a life or complete the mission, and this was a tricky one to answer so many conditions and it’s not really a simple question either, Some missions are to save a crew and losing a fellow crew member to prevent the death of more crewmember. It was a matter of logic but this was a loaded question in either direction because what if the mission was just a simple grab of some cargo and a fellow crew member had lost their breathable air. You could simply complete the mission after, err she was over thinking this and she smiled lightly. "Well umm... I could not watch a crew fellow member die, but if completing the mission also involved saving more than just one life it would be hard to choose between them both." again she was over thinking again. She smiled, "if it was just a simple mission and I was not alone the crew member would have to come first. thats what I think atleast."
Shizuka's serious stare was dispelled with Nyoko's answer. She smiled kindly and then lifted her chin to rest on the back of her interlaced fingers. "Any mission can be returned to, no matter what anyone tells you. Machines can be repaired and weapons replaced, but crew are irreplaceable. I consider my crew, no matter what rank the most important part of this ship, even though I might not show it when someone scratches my ships paint." Shizuka tried to make the recruit laugh a bit and relax a bit more, Aoi quickly brought drinks to the table, and quietly offered the both of them some non-alcoholic carbonated berry cocktail juice. Then she disappeared back into the kitchen as swiftly as she had shown up.
Shizuka thanked the sprite with a small bow of her head and sipped at the contents happily. "That's all I needed to know, I gathered all I needed just by meeting you. I will have you posted you as a candidate to my special project, the Pride Wing; who will be lead wing for this ships’ mass of combat ready pilots. Do you think you could handle a responsibility like that? It’s not like you’d be leading the wing, but I can grantee you’d be seeing more action the rest of the ship, you seem like a trustworthy pilot to me. I’m sure with the result of our conversation, that the more I get to know about you the more I’ll like." The Captain took another drink of the tasty refreshment as she let the recruit answer.
She grinned with excitement, ‘Pride wing’ that sounds important and fun! She took a sip of her refreshment to help hide her exuberance. "Thank you Shosa, I hope I meet your expectations and exceed them, umm… thank you again." She was happy she even made it through the interview. "Is there anything else you need? Or..." she let her sentence drag on with purpose as if indicating she was still nervous and really wished to go at this point as to not ruin her trust the officer had already given her.
"You forget there's food being made for you." Shizuka said with a giggle as she finished off the drink and was sure to order another one from Aoi through WIES, the ship's centralized computer. Then almost as if on cue, the cute blue little sprite came out with two plates full of beef and mushroom stir-fry and bowls of steamed white rice. The captain almost drooled over the sight of such amazing food, but she caught herself and kept from devouring the plate along with its contents.
Of course the food, how could she have forgotten? "Oh of course, hah, would not what that to go to waste!" She sat there still as the food arrived, that’s when she realized she was hungry as well, such good looking food, she waited politely for Shizuka to start before starting on her own.
Shizuka ate and then once they were finished the meal she assigned the Recruit her room. She was designated to port enlisted room #19-1; which was the first room on the all enlisted female deck. Then after she saw the Hei off to her room, the Captain returned to making sure the dock monkeys didn't break anything.
