Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Aye aye Sir," Liz replied to the commander's orders. As Xhu made his way down the hall, Liz headed off in the opposite direction to go to the mess. When she had rounded the corner and was certain that Xhu wouldn't be able to overhear her, she let out an exasperated sigh. Rolling her eyes, she brought her hands up and waved them around in mock excitement. "Yaaaaay.... Martial arts...." she drawled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Reaching the end of the hallway, she jabbed the button to call for the elevator. "One hour left until I get my a** kicked for the second time today." It wasn't that Liz was bad at all martial arts, on the contrary she was rather good at Gargurani street grappling. Unfortunately, she was terrible at the vast majority of the fighting styles commonly taught in the N.E., and she didn't want to be caught practicing any sort of martial art which would connect her to the misfit planet. A small ding announced the arrival of the elevators, and the doors slid open. 'You coming?" she asked Chachi, shuffling inside.
Chachi had been following Liz, though at a bit of a distance. She was interesting to observe because she appeared to have so many sides to her. He vaguely wondered if she was a gemini. His thoughts ended as he stepped onto the elevator after her with a smile. He pushed the button for the level the kitchen was on and waited. Even though it had only been a few seconds, the silence was killing him and decided small talk was the best option.

"I theenk you weell do fine. Chachi weell get hees a** keecked. I've never taken martial arts beefore. My strength ees een running."

He scratched his head and gave her a grin. The familiar elevator ping rang out once more as the metal lifeform carrier came to a stop. He exited, leading Liz toward the kitchen.

"The food ees probably frio by now Leez. Tell me what you want and Chachi weell cook eet for you."
Let the world hear your cries...

Luca Erra & Karen Hondo


Regardless on how Luca's real job on the ship was communications, he look the liberty of also being a security monitor. He had the tools; camera's hidden all over the Gale, a monitor that could pull up six different cameras at once, knowledge of all types of espionage and spy work, and a direct line to his captain if there was any trouble. He thought that it was only natural that he'd be in charge of security on the Gale.

Among his daily work of staring at these screens for hours he reasoned that word about the captain's return had certainly been throughout the ship and decided that he would welcome her back soon. But at this thought he spied Raven walking toward his station. How fortunate. Luca switched his headset to a wireless one and stepped out of his cave, awaiting to speak with his captain.

...it is the call for Bloody Skies

Arin


Arin sat on a barstool in the cafeteria of the Grey Gale, observing the actions of the general come-and-go crew members of the ship. She did this often since arriving on the ship, never saying a word to anyone unless they said something to her first, just sitting and observing when she wasn't learning anything from the ship's head chef.

It was fun, really.Some people had day to day routines, while others did something entirely different every time.

Sometimes, it was a funny sight to see. For example, one of the crew members and his friend over at the table in the corner, who were in the middle of flinging bits of food into each others' drinks when the other wasn't looking.

It made her giggle. Humans were so silly sometimes!


Faith Vanderfleet


"I swear, Mina. I think I've become your babysitter or something." Faith spooned a bit of ice cream into her mouth, then sighed, sitting back in her seat.

"Suuuuure, leave the good ol' co-cap'n to look after things on-ship. She'll do a good job and try her damnest not to destroy everythin', of course she will! Well, not that I'd destroy anything, I'd get blasted by the Cap'n if I did." Faith sighed, placing the nearly finished bowl of ice cream next to her and reaching for her comm. She frowned, tapping into her mail system and bringing up the invitation she'd received again.

A part of her wondered why she was sent one of these. It wasn't as if she were the type of girl to enjoy getting dressed up all primp and proper and go dancing with some rich guy she didn't even know. She didn't even know anyone quite up to that status, either.

However ... she had received an invitation.

The other, more sensible part of her, knew why.

Quickly, she exited the program and put the comm away, lifting her bowl of ice cream and eating it again.


"s**t. I'm going to have to work all of this weight off. Oh well." And she sighed.

"It's not like I'll have anything better to do for a while yet."


ooc; I looked back at the last couple of pages and didn't see any specifics as to where Faith should be, so she's in her natural habitat. :] /ooc
William headed for the cafeteria and saw Arin, he smilied and got down on a knee. "Hey Arin, I haven't seen you in awhile!" He rubbed the top of her head softly and grabbed an apple off the cafeteria line food thingy, he didn't remeber what it was called. He bit into the apple and really started to feel better. He was just hungry after all, he blew out of preportion though.

Arin


Arin giggled as she saw Will, waving and extending her arms, her way of asking for a hug. "Silly Mister Will-Will! Arin has been here the entire time!" She smiled, tilting her head to the side slightly and keeping her arms held out, still asking for that hug.

She liked seeing old friends~
Fayt sighed as he looked around,"ok..everything seems in order...continue to do a good work Ben,I'm counting on you."He turned around and headed back to ship,he had the urge to do a quick inspection of its interior.He walked through the passageways of the base silently before a sudden blast followed by zero gravity.Fayt could hear a faint echo of someone yelling from a distance as the passageway started to fill with smoke.

"Blast it all Johnny what the hell did you do!!"a male officer screamed at one of the enginneers that was working around the gravity system.Johnny threw some tools and cursed at some of the machinery,"Im sorry sir but this blasted piece of equipment overloaded,the blast took out thee gravity system...itll be a week before its fully repaired..."The officers cursed a little as he filled out some work on his small computer that had currently been floating around him."I hope everyone likes romance...."one of the enginneers said with a small snicker followed by the rest of the enginneers.Others around the base took advantage of this and tried to get with some of the females while they had this unexpected break.

Fayt only sigh and pushed himself along the passage way back to his ship.When he passed through the door he set his feet down and braced for sudden Gravity as his own ship had it own system.When he was settled down on the deck he walked aorund the ship and came to find Faith sitting down eating ice cream,he had tortured her enough and figured he let her get some fresh air."Faith..wanna come down with me to the planet?..i dont have any special clothing and i need one for this upcoming dance."

Speechless.

Chris was utterly speechless. Rig never voluntarily...murdered anyone...he only tried to help somebody when being victimized like that. She could understand now why he never spoke about it, and why he was rather reluctant while doing so. And now he was crying. God, she felt terrible now for being so rude with him.

"Rig," She began,"I-I'm so sorry. I had no idea..."

Faith Vanderfleet


Faith turned her head slightly as Fayt entered, staring at him with a dull, blank stare for a few moments before answering.

"What, you mean Babysitting duty's done? No offense, Mina." Actually, sometimes Mina was better company than she'd ever really expected. She then sighed, leaning forward and grabbing her bowl before standing and twirling around to face him again, a smirk on her face instead of the bored expression that had inhabited it previously.

"Aye Aye, Cap'n. If you'll allow me to go put this dish away, it'd be nothin' short of an honor to join you in your quest for a sense of fashion." She was teasing him. She did that so often now that it almost seemed like a natural response.

And with her good deed for the day done, she bowed (another tease), then slipped past him to the kitchen to clean up her mess.

She couldn't help but think that this was different, though. It wasn't often that Fayt asked her to come along with him somewhere, especially to do something so ... casual.

She pushed that thought away. Hey, Cap'n needed some help? She'd be willing to give that help.
Rig (Tai McCoy)

He was quick to stop his tear flow. Honestly it wasn’t a good image to cry. But he couldn’t stop the remorse and hate for himself remembering all of it. “Naw, you didn’t know. But…Mey must have not told you then if you thought I was some murdering criminal.” He stopped to think, “At least I don’t think Mey is mad at me too, to ya know, skew her words around and make it seem like I was.” He looked up at Chris from his thinking. “Er, how did you get word of my ‘so-called felon’ anyhow?”

***
Mey Cunningham

As she was finishing up her lunch she noticed Will walk in and interact with Arin. Mey had no idea where boss was and until he returned, she considered herself to still be on a mini vacation. After dropping off her empty bowl and silverware to the kitchen, she joined the group. She smiled as she saw Arin ask Will for a hug.

***
Commander Xhu

Once he had returned to his private quarters, Xhu took a quick shower. That was too close of a call onboard his ship and he needed the hot water to ease his mind. He was formulating his next tactic for handling Private Voytz. Once done he put on his combat gear and sat down at his personal desk where he sorted through some old books. He picked up one of his favorites, Moby d**k, and read a little before he had to head off to teach the martial combat class.
William smilied and hugged Arin, picking her up at the same time. "Well, I guess I am silly then!" He laughed and started to pet her again. He placed her on his shoulder. He waited for her to catch her balance and then sat down at a table relaxing. William's grin grew as he saw both Trouble and Mey. Trouble had been following Mey around all day. William could tell, because he had the same stains from working, and never got around to cleaning himself.

Arin


Arin giggled, giving Will a biiiiig hug before he placed her on his shoulders. She gained her balance, then turned her head to look in the direction Mey and Trouble had come from. Her expression lit up even more, and she smiled, happy to see more people she knew and loved.

"Miss Aunt Mey-Mey! Kitty-Kitty!" She squeaked, giggling despite herself. "Hug?" She asked, holding her arms out to Mey now.
Fayt couldnt help but laugh at her found sense of humor,"As a heads up the gravity system in the base is busted so..you might wanna make sure no one can see anything that you dont want them to see.."he said with a light cough.He looked at Mina,"Well Mina are you doing well?"Mina nodded with a smile,it had been rare now for the captain to talk to her and ask about her health,since he did she was completly speechless."Thats good to here..Me and Faith will be back later..do as you wish ok Mina...or perhaps...would you like to come along?"he said as he then looked at Faith for her approval as well.
Odalia “Raven” Fitzroy

The captain came to a stop in front of Luca and was inwardly estatic to find that Karen was not around to be annoying. She smiled at him and held up the device in her hand for him to see, “Mind if I borrow your system for a bit?” What seemed like many moons ago, Duncan and Raven debated throwing the Newman off the ship after they found a series of monitoring systems onboard. After weighing the pros and cons, both decided to keep Luca and his unauthorized security camera network. “And I’ll even let you look through it too. That way, you won’t have to sneak around after I leave trying to recover data,” the captain took another playful jab at Luca.

Faith Vanderfleet


"Gravity's down?! Aww hell, let me go put on some pants! This skirt's gonna fly up as soon as I set foot out there!" Faith whined from where she was, poking her head back into the area which held Mina and Fayt.

"And Cap'n? Let her come with us, the girl could use some time outside of the ship. We've both been bored as hell, waitin' for you to finish up whatever business you had." Faith grinned at Mina, then disappeared toward her quarters again.

"I'll be back in a sec, damn gravity malfunction, makin' me have to change my damn skirt to avoid the pigs of the place lookin' where they're not s'posed to ..." She wasn't one to like dressing up, but she really didn't like changing once she'd already dressed.
