Re: Mission 1 Prologue
Galar, finally finished giving his first standing orders, as well as his crew placements, started to really examine the bridge and see how things would work. After completing his rounds, he decided to make his way to the C.O.'s quarters and make himself at home there. "Mochi, please make sure all systems are ready at 0600 tomorrow, I want to get an early start. Mochi nodded as Galar left the bridge and walked through the halls.
Renko, in her assigned quarters, unpacked her cloths and personal items. Arranging them where they belonged, knowing full well that they would only stay that way for a short while with the way she ran things.
Akira grabbed a bit of food from the mess hall, looking on the next days menu to see they would be eating Lobster for dinner. Akira smiled, buttered lobster was one of his favorites. He started to chow down, eating quickly so he could finish unpacking.
Lyf decided that he should go back to his quarters to take a closer look, as he had been sidetracked earlier. He glanced at his room assignment as he walked through the hall and noticed that he would be with Akira and Isuzu. “That should be alright,” he thought. “I just hope they don’t take up all of my space.” He, like Renko, began to plan where everything would go, but unlike her, he expected it to stay there.
On the way to his quarters, Galar encountered Lyf, making his way to his own room, "Hello there, Lyf-Hei; are you finding this ship to have the right accommodations?"
Renko, having finished with her unpacking, stripped down naked and crawled into her nest. Curling up in the fetal position she fell asleep almost as soon as she evened her breath.
Akira finished his meal, and made his way back to his cabin to unpack. Along the way he noticed Galar talking to a crew member, a clean-cut Yamataian, and decided to let them be. No sense in interrupting anything, right? He went around, and though it took a few minutes longer, made his way to his cabin.
Passing Galar, Lyf responded, “Certainly, Vanatosk-shoi. Thank you for asking. I was just headed to my room to unpack.” Continuing on, he reached his room and opened his suitcase. “Hmm… I should still have plenty of time before Isuzu will need her tests,” he thought out loud to himself as he squatted down and began to extract his clothes. Looking up, he noticed another crewmember enter the room. “Hello,” Lyf said, standing up. “I suppose we’re roommates, then? I am Lyf Kenna.”
Continuing to his own quarters, Galar opened the door and walked inside. It seemed moderately plush. There were two armchairs with nice cushions, a cabinet filled with his own Lorath wine, which he had purchased nearly half a year previously, and should be ready to drink. Nodding his pleasure, Galar sat on the very nice bed, and thought to himself, I could certainly get used to this. Before going to sleep, Galar sent out a message to all the crew. Everyone, I want you all dressed and ready to go in the planning room behind the bridge at 0600. I will brief you all on the upcoming mission then.
"Ummmhhh....wake me at 0500...." Renko woke long enough to utter a wake up call before curling tighter and drifting off into a deep sleep.
From the pillows inside her quarters, Kumiko set her digital brain to wake her up at 0530, as she deemed this enough time to get ready, as long as she was quick. She planned to be.
Akira entered the room to be greeted by the same clean-cut man who he saw talking to Galar. "I guess so. My name is Akira Hibiki." Akira started to unpack his items from his duffel, setting things in there appropriate drawers and things. As he worked, he noticed the depressions filled with pillows, that looked something like a bird would sleep in. "So, are these areas for sleeping?" Akira gestured at the nests. The captain's order drifted through his brain, and he absently nodded at it, pulling out his alarm and setting it for 0515.
“They must be,” Lyf said with a shrug. “I don’t know what else we would sleep on unless you prefer the floor.” He turned back to his luggage and quickly unpacked the rest of his clothes. Deciding that he would finish in the morning, Lyf set his own alarm for 0500 just to make sure he would have enough time for everything.
As time progressed, the crew fell into a deep sleep, ready to wake the next day for thier first mission aboard the YSS Moirai. However, one person was now awake...
As she slowly came to her senses under the gentle mental prodding of the computer, Isuzu opened her eyes. It was a strain for a moment, but she finally managed to focus through the milky liquid that surrounded her. Oh... the upgrade; right. Noticing that Marmalade was watching her from outside of the tube, Isuzu raised her hand (or tried to, anyhow), to show that she was awake and aware.
Marmalade smiled and opened the tube, helping Isuzu out of it. Setting her on the floor, Marmalade asked, "How is everything, feeling right I hope?"
Isuzu spent a few seconds taking stock before she replied. Everything seemed to be in working order, and a check of her internal systems showed no anomalies. There were a few new options in her 'message box;' instructions for use of the NH-29S's special abilities. She would check those later.
"I'm fine, I think," she responded absently.
Marmalade nodded, but for some reason, the neko would seem very large to Isuzu. Marmalade bent down and lifted the dazed Isuzu and brought her to the table, which would also seem abnormally tall. Setting her on the table, Marmalade brought a blanket and said, "Do you feel like sleeping here, or do you feel like you could make it to your room?"
"I can manage," Isuzu assured her, still rather fuzzy headed; she really hated getting ST backups, and ST revival was apparently a hundred times more disorienting. The young Neko didn't even remember to grab her clothes and back as she rose unsteadily from the table, holding the blanket around herself as she swayed drowsily in midair. "When are my tests?" she asked.
Marmalade waved the neko on her way, as she gathered up the clothes and bag, and started walking ahead of the neko, in order to deliver them to Isuzu's room before she got there.
Not trusting her legs, Isuzu floated after Marmalade like a lost kitten. She really hoped this disorientation went away fast; she couldn't work like this. Everything looked so strange to her now, almost like everything had gotten... bigger, somehow. *Actually...* That was one thing she wanted to try right away. Accessing one of the files, Isuzu skimmed the contents then closed her eyes, trying to focus on 'seeing' the world around her without them.
Her skin vision system started immediately, and the young Neko was overwhelmed for a few seconds, and she nearly fell out of the air as she tried to cope with seeing the world in 360 degrees in every direction. That is going to take some getting used to, she mused, trying to limit her vision down to just what was in front of her, focusing on Marmalade.
