What a day, Mown thought to himself, throwing himself on his new bed in his quarters on Deck 3. He’d just finished unpacking a crate of his personal belongings and was waiting for an NE to come and retrieve the empty container and return it to the Cargo Bay–but he really wanted to go exploring.He leaped off the bed and paced the bedroom, giving his drum a good tap as he walked by it. The ship was massive and contained who knows what sorts of ARU mysteries it contained.
To be frank, it excited him–and freaked him out, all that could be out there. All he didn’t understand.
Finally the NE arrived with a DOT and took the container.
Nows my opportunity, Mown thought. If only I knew where I could find something interesting to explore.
He slid out of his room with cat-like subtlety and crept into the corridor.

Kit had her earbuds in listening to some very classical Earth Rock and Roll music, Led Zepplin, and was gently jogging down the corridor towards the gymnasium for a Tatharoc and Dancefighting work out. She had on an old AC/DC T-shirt and an old pair of Starfleet Academy sweat bottoms, with a pair of comfortable running shoes. A light sheen of sweat was flowing from her making her pheromones produce the smell of cinnamon and vanilla, but the effects of the pheromones were nullified by the Deltan Medication she had in her endocrine system. She enjoyed her jogs through the corridors of the ship, weaving between personnel as they went about their duties. As she rounded a corner she nearly ran into a muscular orange Catian.
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
Mown was just about to turn into the hall and begin his search for some of the mysteries of the Leviathan when he he came face to face with Lieutenant Thenis.
Startled, the Catian jumped into the air. “Yeow!” he yelped. It was obviously that she was in the middle of a jog and he didn’t want to impose.
“Sorry,” he said, straightening up, trying to hind the twitching in his neck and whiskers. “I didn’t see you there, Lieutenant.”

Kit stopped and flashed her most dazzling smile as she removed her ear buds. “No it is me that should be apologizing, got lost in my music as I was jogging Lieutenant. I also” here she did air quotes with her fingers “should not be jogging in the corridors as it is against regulations.” She looked at the Catian, “Say you’re the new Chief Tactical Officer aren’t you?”
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
“Yeah!” Mown said, a little to excitedly. “Ahem, yeah. Mown, Mown Gworl, from Feresa originally. Just transferred over from the Sasquatch. You’re the Science Officer, Lieutenant Thenis, correct? I think the jogging thing’s a silly rule.”
-CTO Mown Gworl
Thenis smiled, “Yep that me, the ‘Monster Hunter’ who got a rapid shove to Chief Science Officer. So Lieutenant where are you headed?”
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
“Nowhere in particular,” Mown said, putting one arm behind his head in a casual-but-not-too-casual stretch. “Honestly, I just wanted to get out of my room and poke around a little.”
As a scientist about the Levi, perhaps Lieutenant Thenis knew more about the ship than he did. This might be his way into learning more about the ARU beings and get a little tour of the craft, but Mown didn’t want to bother her or push his luck too far.
“A new officer has to be familiar with the ship,” Mown said seriously. “I feel like there’s a lot I need to learn about all the Leviathan holds, you know?”
-CTO Mown Gworl
Kit smiled “Well I am sort of new myself, been doing a lot of catch up work on the ship and it’s ‘guest’. I know that the ARU beings are under some serious security and heavy security measures. I haven’t been to see them yet, even though I have the security clearance to do so. Say want to go and check out?” Kitiuas knew that Lieutenant Gworl had the clearance to do so, given his position on the ship as Chief Tactical Officer.
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
“Uh, ch’yeah!” Mown said hurriedly. Then he put one paw behind his back. “I mean, I would enjoy your company, Lieutenant, yes. And besides, we should get an understanding of what is is we’re carrying, right?”
His eyes shown yellow and mischievous.
“So… Where do we even start?”

(OOC: I’m going to change our sim title and tags a little)
Kit smiled mischievously and replied “Why we go right over to the nearest turbolift, I tell the computer where I want to go, then it will ask for my Voice and I.D. print. I will of course provide these and off we go. Easy Peasy.”
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
Mown stared at the science officer and then he squinted his eyes and laughed. A deep belly laugh that started in the pit of his stomach and hurt. He laughed until he wiped a tear from his whiskers.
“Guess I deserved that. I’m game.” Mown said, still smiling goofily. “After you, Lieutenant. If you would provide your voice and ID print.”
He howled again, clutching his belly.
“I’m sorry! I– I know what you mean. I just get so lost still,” he admitted.
-CTO Mown Gworl
Kit laughed also, “Then shall we away to the nearest Turbolift and get ourselves lost in the ‘Belly of the Beast’ as they say?” She then began making her way towards the nearest lift.
-Lieutenant j.g. Kitiuas Thenis, CSO
As they headed to the turbo lift, they ran into Saoir, he had a PaDD in his hand as he always did. A stickler for staying on task and time management, he squinted at the two officers suspiciously as he placed both hands behind his back, “What are you two up to? Don’t you have better things to do than to be roaming the halls of the ship?”
Saoir, Transporter Chief
“Can’t two senior officers enjoy their time off duty without being interrogated, Mr. Saoir?” Mown teased the Kelpian. “Lieutenant Thenis was on a jog and we just so happened to run into each other while I was on my evening constitutional. If I might ask, how is your evening going? Are you on duty tonight?”
