Juliet walked in just as the battle of ‘who’s wings were bigger?’ came to an end. Her eyebrow raising slightly as she realized it was mother and child and not combatants squaring off. She glanced around and spoke to whoever looked her way first. “I was told it would be good to show up for training?” She was in close fitting work out sweat pants and a sweatshirt that was just as fitted. No super loose material to grab and hold, but warm enough to make her sweat and cool enough if temperatures were changed up during the scenario. Her hair was bulled back and coiled in a knot and out of the way of her face and grasping hands as well. Crystal blue eyes glanced about to see who all was there.

Ensign Juliet “Jewels” Anders
RTF/Sec

Casela looked up at Juliet. There was so much not said between them, but maybe, here in training, they would find their way again. They’d spent their childhood training with their fathers. Much to their mother’s chagrin. Here maybe would be familiar, and they could find their center again. But in the mean time professionalism, Casela hoped, would be appreciated. “En. Anders. Welcome. Your Lt Surda creates the most fascinating training exercises. I’m glad you’re here.”
Lt Synthi-er, CNS

Surda watched the byplay, amused. “Anyone with anything loose, go stick it in those lockers. No weapons today.” She grinned at the assorted officers. “Computer, load training program Surda-Grav-4.” The chime as the computer complied was accompanied by an obstacle course appearing around the room. “Welcome to my version of a three-legged race.” She pulled out several pairs of handcuff, clearly not the standard issue by the engraved designs on them.
-Surda, CoS

Cobb’s eyes widened at the sight of the handcuffs, as he began simultaneously emptying his pockets.
“The last time I saw a pair of handcuffs like that I was…” He stopped and threw a glance towards Cerenity, then quickly cleared his throat. “Lockers you say? Righto,” he murmured, scurrying quickly away.

Surda grinned wickedly. “Hand-etched with my own laser. You’re a fan?”
-Surda, CoS

“Of your work? Always,” Zachariah mirrored the wink with his own.

Casela, having learned last time, had come unarmed, and so walked over to Surda with an idea. “This looks pretty safe as far as the younger members of the ship go,” she nodded gently towards Cerenity. “I don’t want to step on your toes or Luna’s, but I could ask Gen to come be Cerenity’s partner. They are closer in size anyway, and seem to have hit it off.” Casela would not go against Luna, as Cerenity’s mother, or Surda as the coordinator, but she’d heard Surda say before that she was okay with children if the situation was appropriate.
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

Surda blinked at Casela’s phrasing. “Of course you can. She was already invited, my dear counselor, and nothing would please me more.” Both children on the ship, in the same place, learning from something she had organized? It sounded almost like a birthday present.
-Surda, CoS (Fulfilling her sacred duty of teaching children)

Casela grinned at Surda. She herself liked the idea of having the children learning, but she had a iron spine when it came to their safety often making it seem that she wasn’t willing to have them around. She walked over to Luna and motioned her to walk with her, out of range of Cerenity being able to listen. “Gen has been invited to participate as well as Cerenity. I know you told her no so I will not ask Gen to come if you do not want Cerenity to participate. It wouldn’t be fair for Cerenity.” Casela didn’t have to call Gen, Gen’s telepathy was strong and she tended to listen so she’d probably just pop up on her own.
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

Luna smiled and shook her head. ” I sent her to time out for ten minutes, I never actually said she could or couldn’t participate. I was considering letting her she is only three” Luna said with a smile. Then looked the the new security officer. ” question Who is your twin? And do you trust her with ships safety i mean?” Luna asked quietly. She knows if Casela trusted the new comer it was probably ok to not be openly careful. Cerenity continued to poute in her corner.

Luna shook her head ” she is going to be the death of me” Luna joked. Cerenity took a running start then flew across the room landing quietly at luna’s side. ” If you can avoid throwing anymore tempertantruma today you can join the fun.” Luna said. Cerenity nodded her agreement. ” good go apologies to the captain and Lutanat Synthi-er for your behavior ” Luna said. Cerenity ran ahead of Luna and Casela to rejoin the others and apologized.

Cerenity’s attention quietly fell on Juliet. She turned her head sideways. ” are you and miss Casela twins” she asked confused.

Ensign Luna

The captain had been about to interject, but recanted at the last and fell into an amused silence. This was the first time he had seen Synthi-er and Anders in the same room. And the effect was…disconcerting.

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

Jin’Lor stepped onto the holodeck with Jeane close behind and stopped at the sight of everyone. “Hello, I’m Jin’Lor Venneroe and this…” He explained with a gesture toward the short winged teenager standing close by him. “This is Jeane, my adopted son. He’s always following me and I was told he could come alone, so…” Leaving the rest of the words to hang in the air, the scientist grimaced, absently tapping at one of the six knives always strapped to his belt out of habit.

He had merely come here out of curiosity.

Ensign Jin’Lor Venneroe

Luna watched the stranger for a moment. ” If you have any loose items or weapons they will need to go in the lockers. That gose for you too Jeane was is” She spoke much softer to the child then to Jin. She watched the man carfuly the entire time.

Cerenity jumped up and down and squealed with excitement. ” he has wings like us mommy we are not alone” she said in a high pitched voice.
Ensign Luna

OOC: Kayte, I’m going to presume that this thread occurs after the meeting between Jin’Lor and the Captain in his office, so they already know each other.

IC: Cobb nodded to Jin’Lor, before turning attention to the boy at his side. “Good to meet you, Jeane. I am Captain Zachariah Cobb,” he held out a hand to the teenager.

Then, introductions completed, Cobb moved back to Surda and murmured, “We have several new faces this time, it seems. The ship’s scuttlebutt must have told how enjoyable our previous session was. Or maybe they’re just hoping for the chance to take shots at their captain,” he added with a grimace.

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

Surda studied the new arrivals for a moment, then smiled fondly. “Jeane is indeed welcome.” She turned to Cobb and laughed silently. “If they’re hoping too shoot you again, today isn’t their day.”
-Surda, CoS

Irida walked in followed by the rest of the Black Devils. She poked Lehiw in the ribs with an elbow and nodded toward the new arrival. Her Russian accent flowed across the room, “Ты видишь в небе солнце? Так знай, твоя улыбка светит гораздо ярче!” (OOC: Translation: Do you see the sun in the sky? Know that your smile shines so much brighter!)

Lehiw roared with laughter. “Irida,” the big Klingon began, “you would eat him alive. You need a big strong Klingon like me!”

Irida shook her head ignoring Lehiw and walked right up to Jin’Lor and Jeane. “I’m Irida, and who are you?”
MCPO Kovacenkov, RTF (ship’s gossip and insatiable flirt)

Jin’Lor stared at Irida with slight distaste as Jeane avoided the captain’s handshake by hiding behind him. “Ensign Jin’Lor Venneroe,” He answered her in a calm tone, biting back the irritation at having his personal space invaded. Dropping his hands to his sides, he let fingers twitch and tug at loose threads of fabric to keep from shoving the woman away. He had to set a good example for Jeane, after all.

As for said winged boy, Jeane waved shyly to Cerenity and Luna, happy to see he was not the only one that had been cursed with the discomfort of risking getting caught in doorways every single day.

Recalling, a few seconds too late, Jin’Lor’s warning on handshakes, Cobb ran the hand through his own hair, then offered Jeane a cheery wink instead.
“Well then, this should surely be interesting and no mistake,” he murmured almost to himself as he began to stretch and warm up.

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

It was never a good idea to get in anyone’s space on Leviathan, and Irida had thought she’d left enough room but apparently this En Venneroe needed more than most. She graciously stepped back, smile still in place. “Well welcome aboard, and to your son as well.” She glanced at Cobb, “Our family is growing, and you at the head of it all. Like the Godfather!” She seemed all too happy about that. She turned back to Venneroe and took in the knives, “Hey Lt!” she said aiming the comment to Casela and Surda, “he’s got knives! Can I have some now?”
MCPO Kovacenkov, RTF

Casela shook her head, “Nope! You know Cmdr Rauuhl’s policy. No crew member may walk around armed unless it’s red alert or they are on duty as security. So keep wishing Irida. If I can’t have mine, I’m not giving you any.” She grinned though. She liked Irida. Her mouth never stopped but she was excellent for morale. She turned to look at Surda, “Unless of course we’re pulling duty as Cobb’s Angels.”
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS

Jin’Lor felt even more discomfort at the mention of his knives and adjusted the coat he wore to better hide them. He knew he should leave to put them away, for Ensign Luna had mentioned doing such earlier. “I’ll be back…” He muttered before heading toward the door, only to have Jeane grab at his arm nervously. Gazing down at the boy with a slight tenderness, he ruffled up his silver hair. “Try to socialize for once.”

Pulling his arm free, the knife wielding scientist left the room to return the knives to his quarters where he was more comfortable leaving them locked up in their case.

Left behind, Jeane just stood there nervously and looked to everyone with a slight wave. “Hi.” He finally spoke up.

Luna watched the man leave then smiled at the boy. She smiled relaxing and dropping her wings so the were held a bit lower then before. She also opend them Slightly. Showing that she was not anxious infant she was relatively comfortable with the situation. She let go of Cerenity’s arm.

Cerenity ran up to Jeane. ” hi I’m Cerenity’s whats your name? Your wings ate so pretty ? Do you wings make sound like a macaw or are they silent like an owl? Do you like to fly i live to fly?” She said excitedly her words were almost to fast to understand and she was jumping up an down her wings open and flaping to give her jumps and extra few inches. ” you should Meet Gen? This is going to be so much fun im so glad your her” She said excitedlyed.
Ensign Luna

Surda walked over to the two children, sitting on the floor comfortably. “Everyone can sit down for a minute while I make pairs.” She’d do her best to make the room less imposing for the boy. “Would you like to play, Jeane? You can run the course without a partner if you’d like.” Handcuffing children to people was different than handcuffing officers to each other.
-Surda, CoS

“Apologies for my tardiness Lieutenant, am I too late to join in the fun?”

Anaya was dressed for exercise, figure hugging leggings and a cropped tank top doing little to disguise her long slim legs and dancers physique.

She went through a series of graceful stretching exercises, each move flowing into the next, making it appear almost spiritual in nature, displaying admiral flexibility and control as she moved from each position to the next.

Anaya - Asst Counsellor

Again as if summoned, as she normally did, Gen did in fact appear. The ground at the side of Cobb turned dark for a split second as if a shadow had fallen over it then rippled and there she was at his side. She looked around and put a hand onto the Captain’s elbow silently. “What’s this?” She asked.

Gen

The brief ripple of darkness at Cobb’s feet startled the burly captain, as always it did when the Leviathan’s resident teenage anomaly appeared. One would think Zachariah now accustomed to her unique method for entering a room. But in truth he could never fully shake the sensation of uneasy curiosity when with the girl.
Her fingers, like tendrils of ice around his elbow, generated a shiver. “Ah, well it’s…I am not entirely sure, truth be told,” the captain shook his head. “But I believe we are about to play a game. Your friends are also playing,” he nodded over at Cerenity and Jeane, before adding with a whisper, “although if you are looking for the winning team then I have already set the precedent in Lt Surda’s games.”

Surda smiled at both late arrivals, dipping her head to Anaya. “Hello Gen.” She turned her attention back to the Assistant Counselor. “You are right on time, Lieutenant.”
-Surda, CoS

It took Jeane a moment to process all of the questions Cerenity was asking him, but he did eventually speak up. “I’m Jeane and uh…well…I don’t know if my wings make sound. I’ve never flown before. Dad has been hoping I would meet someone that can teach me, though. I’ve always wanted to fly, but couldn’t because…because....” He let the words trail off and shrugged. “Anyway, it’s very nice to meet you, Cerenity. I didn’t know there were others out there with wings like me. I bet Dad is so happy for me!”

Upon return, Jin’Lor was happy to see Jeane actually socializing. He had opted to leave behind not only his knives, but his coat as well and felt odd without it. He had come here to get out of his comfort zone, though, so it was best to get used to not having it or his knives on this ship. He also noted the new arrivals and gave them simple nods of acknowledgment.

Luran was the next tardy arrival, heading in after the others. “I hope I’m not too late. This ship can be just a tad confusing at first,” she said, looking around at the others in attendance. “But I’d love to join you, if that’s okay?” She was still new aboard the ship then, and this seemed a good way to both get involved and get to know some of the other crew.

“Aye, the more the merrier,” Cobb waved the newcomer inside, while silently wrestling with a name to go with the face and sadly coming up short. “I…do not believe we have met? I am Captain Cobb.”

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

Cerenity sprang up and ran over to Gen. ” Gen! She called excitedly. ” Gen you have to come meet Jeane” she said excitedly. She was happy to see her friend. She hoped Jeane would join them and be there friend.
