RP: 188604 Naida' life

M

mindlux

After the arguments started, Naida felt she didn't want not get involved, so she left the palace for a walk. she Walked down the path and thought herself, "I should be here....one of these people could kill me....what if there was an attack." Feeling fearful, Naida pushed those thought out of her mind and kept walking putting music from her wristpad.

It was late afternoon and Naida realized she has not eaten since breakfast, she really has not been eating that much for her body weight. she walked to the place that Uso showed her when they met, she sat and ate two meal, she paid with the scripts Uso gave her. she brought her data pad out and saw an email from her mother.

Code: 
Hi love, how are you how is your new job going?
Life's been ok without you.

Works been ok, we are currently adapting food plants for growth on arid  plants.

 I miss you very much hope you visit sometime.

Love wendy. <3


Naida replied.

Code: 
Hi, mum.
It's only been a few days don't worry.

Work could be better I'm building a telescope array its a lot of work but I think I can get it done.

Love you mum bye.

Naida

Niada finished her meal and packed away her pad and felt happy, she talked to mother. She walked back to the palace and back to the room set up for herself. It was one of the offshoot rooms it has a mattress on the floor from a ship bunk a small fridge with a few ready meals and a microwave.

Naida lay down on the bed her butt stuck over the side and napped for a while.
 
Naida woke cold sweat, she checked her wristpad it was early in the morning. She didn't feel too well, Laying back down she tried to fall asleep but felt wide wake. failing she got up and grabbed a ready meal from the small l fridge and heated it up. Walking out of the room into what she like to call her office. she pressed a few button booting up the holoprojector. Navigating to her model the big issue was glaring her in the face.


The emf noise from the drone's control system would interfere with the subspace radio receiver that that using to look at space. She could put shielding but it made the craft too heavy to move and keep it's position in space. stressed out with stuff naida tried to fix it as the sun rises her stress levels grew she just stared blankly at the screen starting to tear up.
 
Uso would end up calling out from one of the other rooms in the palace, her voice practically echoing through the newly built walls of the structure,

"HEY NADIA! YOU ALRIGHT?!"

The NH-7 could hear the young creature starting to tear up even from deep inside of the palace. Perhaps a benefit of enhanced hearing... or maybe Arccos had been sharing her listening devices. It wouldn't be long before Uso herself would show up in Nadia's work space.

"... Come to think of it, I don't really know what your kind is supposed to sound like. Is this normal?"
 
"No no, I'm alright, go back are you meant to be sleeping?" startled speaking in sudden bursts. She tried to look like she was working, trying to look relaxed knowing. she can fix it. she Looked over the whole thing trying to think. Not feeling easy with her techily boss watching over her shoulder at her failure of design, she starts to panic inside while looking calm to Uso.
 
"Hmm..." Uso looked at her suspiciously, slowly walking over to Nadia, "I didn't catch you looking at porn did I?"

"Not that there is anything wrong with that... I'm kinda curious what you look at. There can't be a lot of creatures out there that look like you."
 
"um yeah I guess I'm used bodies that are common I grew up seeing not anyone like so I like normal people....it's...um... really hard... you know....do it with my arms so far away." naida has not idea what she saying nor why she is, but it better than telling Uso she screwed up.
 
"You're stammering," Uso said firmly, "Surely you can do better than that. The porn thing was just a stab in the dark, trying to get you mentally off-balance so I can see how you respond.

When you respond like you did, it makes it clear you are hiding something. So why don't you level with me and tell me what is going on?" Uso asked.
 
"Ummm...." Niada started to tear up snd tried to think of what to say "well I'm new here this place is so different I miss home." she drops on the floor upset.
 
Uso would slowly circle Nadia, walking around behind her as she kept her eyes on the creature.

"I take it this is your first time really leaving the safety of home? The first time you can't really run home to mommy?" Uso was forced to pause, considering what to say next, "... Well, that's really all I got. I can't say I'm familiar with what it is like to have a place to go back to..."

Uso ended up on the other side of Nadia, and took a seat next to her.

"So my advice? Don't stop moving. When you come up to a wall you just gotta keep going until you break through."
 
"um...ok thank you" Naida replied she got up then turned the projector off and walks off to her room to think. she felt antisocial she opens her tablet and checked her messages. then when for a lay down.
 
Naida woke to feel a little better, she picked up her tablet and checked her messages. Her mother replied
Code: 
I know I know
That is wonderful real challenge for you I'm glad you're having fun there.

But she wasn't interested in her right now. she opened up a chat room, she knew this was unprofessional to ask for help online
Code: 
* Fourlegsandatail has join #engineeringhelp
spike101: I'm sorry I can help you with your gravity  plate if it not able to give me readouts
Noobtechie: Damn will I have to replace it?
Spike101: Yeah sorry.
Fourlegsandatail: um.. can I have little help
Noobtechie: that sucks my boss won't be happy
Spike101: sure what is the issue
Fourlegsandatail: how can I block out signal noise from the control computer interfering with the subspace telescope
Spike101: can't you just shield it?
Fourlegsandatail: it would make it hard to move too heavy
Fourlegsandatail: also I'm retrofitting some drones so I don't have much wriggle room.
Noobtechie: damn that a hard one
Fourlegsandatail: I can send you my work files it's nothing too top secret.
*Fourlegsandatail sent a file
Noobtechie: what are you working with...? hope you weren't setup with some team who shove scrap together and call it a ship. no place for an engineer of your caliber.
Spike101: Shut up noob I've had a look you might be able to get away with just a small antenna laid on the computer block then mix the with the received signal then it just cancels out.
Fourlegsandatail: thankyou thankyou

naida said her goodbyes then left.

Seeing that it is lunch she sent a message to the guy with the robot arm Corgan.


Code: 
Hey, want to come for lunch?
She walked out to the holoprojector looking at her model. Thinking at what was said in the chatroom.

@ArsenicJohn
 
Corgan was sitting in his favorite bar when his datapad chimed. Some of the patrons jumped, but not as many as would have just a few weeks earlier. He was way past wearing his armor everywhere. The planet just didn't feel threatening to him anymore. He realized he was starting to think of the dusty rock as home. Pulling out his pad, he looked at the message several times, trying to remember who the sender was.

"Naida.. Naida.. Oh, right. The dog girl with big breasts." He said out loud. The guy sitting beside him at the bar looked at him with disgust and moved two stools down to get away from him. Corgan rolled his eyes and sent her a reply.

Code: 
Hey. Sure.. Wait, is this just lunch or are you asking me on a date?
 
Naida brought the the message out on the holoprojector reading then felt warm to the face then replied.

Code: 
i Just want to meet a few other people that is all. could you show me a good place?

She continued her work waiting for a reply feeling a lot better.
 
Reading the message, Corgan relaxed. He switched to a mindware interface so he could text while moving.

Code: 
Where are you? I'll come pick you up. You're new here, and it can be kind of dangerous if you aren't a native.

He slapped a handful of arcmarks down on the counter and stood up. "Guess I'm meeting a lady for lunch today." Corgan said with a grin. He walked out the door and looked around. It was a pretty nice day out, at least for a dusty mudball like 188604. Where could he take her? He didn't want Akemi tto traumatize her and scare her off the planet. The problem was, it had to be Akemi's. He didn't trust the food or the chefs anywhere else. Maybe the catboy wouldn't even be there.
