Lain raised a brow.

"You'll find me far from intolerant, Toshiro-san. And you'll find, if I question the morality of their creation I am never laying the blame on the created." A musing smile, brighter than polished brass. "Though you perform delightfully well in the arts of taking words out of context and misconstruing statements. I applaud you."

A fine propagandist the boy would make, Lain noted. "Cough syrup. Nothing else we need."
 
The shuttle reached the ship in record time. "I'm going to go put weapons in stashes and stuff." Ken said, hefting the duffels.
 
Eve came on over the ship's comm systems. "Welcome back Captain. I hope you didn't get shot at or anything during your trip. If your looking for Shaun he's in the men's bunk bay installing that thingy he made."
 
Toshiro smiled.

"So he finished, ne? That's good...We'll likely be headed out when he's done...also, I'd like everyone to come to the bridge soon...I have communicators to hand out and chair-safe passwords for the electronics locks at the stations. They will likely contain emergency tools and weapons. Can you tell Shaun to come to the bridge when he's done? Everyone else is pretty much assembled with me."
 
All that Kairi showed outwardly at this defamation of her character was a slight tic of her eye, and only once. Inside, however, her heart sunk. She merely told Toshiro telepathically, "I have been raped," and then slunk into an ironclad wall of mental defense which she could hide behind, blocking out all communication.
 
Toshiro looked at Kairi, a look of sympathy, and looked to Lain and Reis.

"While you are open to your opinions. I will not have you further offend my friends on my ship...don't say such things in front of those who you'll offend."
 
Ken tosses the pistols into the holding areas at the stations, saving the sub-pistol for himself, and stashing the rest elsewhere.
 
Shaun came walking down the hall cleaning his hands off with a rag. "You wanted to see me for something?"
 
Toshiro nodded.

"Firstly, Shaun, Eve, these are Reis and Lain...new members of our crew. These two will be rooming in the third quarters area. Lain, Reis, this is Shaun. The voice you heard before over the intercom is Eve, an advanced AI he has in his possession. She's considered a passenger/resident rather than the ship's AI, so don't order her around.

Secondly, I've obtained some communicators for you all...Shaun, I'll be working on a way to get one to connect with Eve's systems, okay?

Lastly, we're headed for Lor next...I've always wanted to see what kinds of technology they possess, as well as their culture. In the computer databanks, you'll find a digital magazine, a beginner's guide to their language...feel free to familiarize yourself with it. We'll be leaving as soon as Shaun is done with his project, and Reis and Lain are settled in."

Toshiro smiles and begins to hand out the communicators...fairly high end ones with a holographic 3-D screen.
 
Shaun shrugs "I'm ready to head out now. I just told Eve I wasn't done so she would stop bugging me about it."

Shaun looked over at the new crew members and gave a small wave. "Yo."
 
Lain offered, delicately, a curt nod.

"I've never, for anyone, censored myself, Toshiro, nor would I expect any other to ever do such. But I will choose my words more carefully."

Attention turned to the new introduction, to which he offered a flashy smile, a tilt of his head to one side, then to the other. "Shaun. Lain Irokawa. Rightly pleased to meet you, I suppose. Particularly considering there was an actual introduction."

A click of the teeth.
 
[H'okay, my apologies for the delays. I can't guarantee lots of fast-paced activity here, but I will keep it moving until Toshiro gets back. Godspeed, Toshiro. We need more tall, cute, and awkward guys in the universe. This post written with input from Orion Moony regarding use of his character, and with permission from Erik to make use of Toshiro in his absence.]

Toshiro nodded. "Then I suppose we can move out once Lain and Reis settle themselves."

Reis took the hint quite happily and proceeded to drag Lain away to the quarters they had been assigned. Lain gave a sigh, a roll of the eyes, a murmured comment of "...always work, work, work...", and followed quite happily.

That said, Toshiro nodded again. "Bring us out."
 
Nodding Shaun made his way to his own station. Taking his seat he activated his scanners and went back to keeping on eye out for possible threats to the ship.
 
Toshiro settled himself into his own place as Ken brought the Yggdrassill away from the station, breaking out of orbit. At last, they would be underway to Lor, where the salvaging laws made Mizuho and Kotori look simple to understand. At least they weren't grounded here anymore.

"How long will it be to Lor, Ken?" A few hours, certainly, though it was good to know. And for once, Toshiro had other people to tell him such things. He would need Lain to handle communications once they reached Lor, however.
 
Shaun suddenly got up from his seat and turned to the others. "I'll be back in a few minutes. There's something I need to do." He hit a few keys on the console and tapped his right ear piece. "Eve you take care of things here. "

Without another word he silently made his way out of the room and headed off for the men's bunk room.
 
(OOC: Still not permanently on yet. Yggdrassill travels at 1/8 LY/M, top FTL speed. A trip from Yamatai to Lor is roughly 4 hours. Use the star map to determine distances and ETA using the 1/8th constant.)
