Remi stopped briefly in her inspections of her clothing to give the Helashio a small reassuring smile. ~"I lost some things of mine I liked very much."~ She spoke in Lorath, seemed the doctor was full of surprises. Right after her speaking to the Helashio she cocked her head to the side in Toshiro's direction.

"...Items?" She queried
 
Toshiro nodded.

"Yes, we are a salvage vessel....people are paid in both money and in salvaged items. There's an element of luck there, though...you could get a tiny chink of debris to an entire warship...of course SA restrictions apply to all salvage....just today one of my crew got a component values at 750,000 KS...and I've found a Nozomi before."
 
Remi nearly dropped a top as he said this.

"You've got to be joking!" She said rather incredulous. Seemed she was a little shocked. After a moment she wiped the expression from her face. Not to mention her cheeks tinged pink in embarrassment at the outburst.
 
"I didn't keep the Nozomi, of course...but I got a 200,000 KS reward for it that let me start the business...the funny thing is that there's little competition as of right now...everyone is so focused on building new stuff, perfectly capable stuff that is current-gen or one generation behind is adrift out there..."

Toshiro shrugged.

"I don't get it either...I can't be the first person to think about actually salvaging old battlefields..."
 
The doctor winced a little as if she had just been poked with something sharp. Composing herself, Remi began to fold her clothing.

"I'm sorry for the outburst..." She stammered a little. "Its just that what you said took me by surprise a little." A small sheepish look in her eyes. She wasn't often prone to such things. But this had been one of the few times it did happen.
 
Ken writhed around a little, trying to get at least some sleep, but he couldn't seem to fall into slumber, as he got out of bed, and started cleaning his weapons. He started with the shotgun, taking it all the way apart, and cleaning and reassembling piece by piece, each component shined. He continued on, until every weapon he had in that room was finished.

Looking at the drink cooler, he decided he didn't need a drink, so he left the room to see what everyone was doing.
 
Serenity blinked, shocked that the woman knew Lorath. With a small shrug she tugged on her sleeve. ~"Lost you what?"~ She inquired. From the way Toshiro had been talking to Remi, Serenity was guessing she would soon be a new mistress.
 
Remi felt the gentle tuggings of her sleeve and looked and saw it had been the Helashio.

~"I lost medicines and equipment to heal the sick and injured."~ Replying as she stared at the Helashio. After a moment the doctor patted the other woman's hand softly. ~"They can be replaced, don't worry."~ Her voice was kind and gentle as she went back to her folding.
 
Shaun was busy at his console rapidly typing in commands. "I'm having trouble finding it Eve. Are you sure it was there?"

Eve replied "Yes Shaun. It was only there for a second. Its very strange...its almost as if..."

"a shadow....." Shaun said interrupting her. Eve was confused at this "A shadow? Is that some kind of nickname for a ship?" Shaun shook his head "No....its just something me and my buddies would talk about. Its a technique of sneaking up on a vessel by cloaking in its shadow or sensor blindspot....its something I remember reading about in history books."

Eve was silent for a moment before poking further "So you think something is trying to sneak up on us?" Shaun just sighed and leaned back in his chair "No I don't....I'm not seeing anything out there now. It was probably just some floating debree from the ship we picked that girl up from."
 
Toshiro blinked, surprised at the fluency of the newcomer...it seemed Lorath was quickly becoming a third language, after English and Japanese...

"Don't worry about the surprise...it's not a commonly known fact. Salvaging can turn up some very good items...when you think about it though, with all the decades of war, it's inevitable that one might find some good components. As for medicines, we have some we found adrift in space, as well as the basic ones we keep here. You're free to look through them..."
 
There was a knock on the med door, as Ken peeked in. "Permission to enter, Capt'n?" he asked, waiting outside. You could tell he was still tired by the sound of his voice. Or maybe it was just the yawn.
 
She finished folding her things and stood up. Remi inhaled deeply and sighed.

"I suppose you're right," The doctor conceded. The neko looked around medical area; as if she already had plans for the place. After a brief moment she turned to face Toshiro. "Are these medicines here or in a cargo bay or..." Remi didn't finish her sentence as someone new knocked, and poked his head inside the room.
 
Toshiro glanced back to Ken, smiling.

"Sure you can come in, Ken. Ken, this is Miyoshi Remi-hakase. She is considering being the ship's doctor, and was in that Tripster we picked up. Miyoshi-hakase, this is Ken, the pilot of the Yggdrasill and a Command-level officer in-training, like Kairi and Shaun...to answer your question, most of the medications are in this room, but it's not uncommon to salvage some medications. I think we did it this time, even..."
 
"Hmmm..." She stood there looking at Ken for a brief moment before dipping into a bow." A pleasure to meet you," The doctor seemed to be observing him.

She strode over to him and opened the med lab door. "Come inside; I'll see what I can give you for your tiredness," Was more of a gentle order then asking really. Though she was being kind and gentle about it.
 
Ken bowed back in respect. "It is a pleasure to meet you, also." he said, a smile on his face. "And who might the other new girl be?" he asked, looking at Serenity.
 
Toshiro smiled, and put his hand on Serenity's shoulder. He then proceeded to introduce the girl...

"This is Serenity...she's a Helashio from Lor who will be staying with us from now on...oh, that reminds me...Ken, I'd like to give you this..."

He handed Ken a Senior Crewman Rank Pin, just like Kairi's...
 
Ken smiled and did a small bow back to her, before taking the pin. "Cool...new people, new debris field. I feel like this was a good move, Capt'n." he said, pinning it to his Sapphire blue duster.
 
Remi folded her arms and hmphed. Silently the doctor walked over, and stood infront of Ken. The gaze she set on him was...scrutinizing. "Now...Ken tell me; would you like something for your tiredness or not?" She asked her tone a little firmer. "Something to help you sleep perhaps? Or something to keep you awake?"
 
Ken nodded. "I might not sleep until after we leave the planet again though...and I'm sorry if I seemed to ignore you...I can't seem to sleep." he said, as he followed her. "Keep getting this image in my mind. Probably nothing.
