GLaDOS knelt by Chell and Wheatley’s cage, quietly petting the white rabbit as she munched on a leaf of lettuce. She approved of her crew’s decision to bring the rabbits aboard, it was good to have companion animals for the sake of helping people to feel more relaxed and de-stressed, and rabbits were easy to care for. Plus, she had a long and storied history with these rabbits in particular, having rescued them from a lab in the bowels of the Viking. They were getting a little older, but they were still spritely enough.

She glanced at the door as it slid open and a young human male stepped in. “Ensign Jonah,” she acknowledged.

“Lt. Cmdr. I’m here for the meeting?” NE Jonah replied.

“That’s not for another ten minutes, so technically you are early.”

“Well I’m not on duty so I figured I’d just show up early.”

“Understood.”

The two stopped their conversation and sat in silence until the next arrival. GLaDOS had sent a message to her entire science crew, including a few of the Novel Researchers. This meeting was like the first day of class. She wanted her people to feel comfortable around one another, to be able to be friends and colleagues instead of just people who happened to work in the same department.

Her other reason was that there were a few members of the science team she hadn’t personally met yet and she wanted to get a bead on them.

GLaDOS, CSO

Echo walked in, a PaDD tucked under one arm, still uneasy about all the quiet. “Commander GLaDOS?” He asked, as he walked in. He’d read up on the crew during his journey here, and didn’t want to make a complete fool of himself.

The CSO stood up and looked at Echo with an odd expression, reading his posture and expression. GLaDOS scanned Echo with her bionic eye, then turned away to step over to the table that NE Jonah was already sitting at. “Ensign Echo. No surname. No history. You seem uneasy about something.” She was quiet for a moment, listening to the quiet creaks and mechanical sounds of the ship. She wasn’t nearly as creaky as Viking, and GLaDOS found the quiet to be comforting. “My aim in today’s meeting is to help my crew become more comfortable with one another and their place on the ship, so please… tell me what is wrong.”

If the general silence of the ship made Echo uneasy, GLaDOS was sure to give him some kind of a fright. Over six feet tall, face peppered with metallic patches with glowing green bits and obvious Borg components, along with a slightly glowing orange eye and a Borg arm, she was a sight to behold.

Echo took a reflex step back upon taking in her appearance, remembering the studies of the Borg he did at the academy. He quickly recovered, however. “It’s just being…here. Now. I can’t really explain what it’s like, to be honest with you, to be somewhere, and not remembering why. Or who you really are. It’s not something I can exactly explain.” He said quietly, remembering when he woke up back on the Geneva.

GLaDOS let out a small laugh. “I can understand better than you assume. I am former Borg. I recall quite well the feeling of waking up with no concept of identity or past.”

Calliopewas next to enter the room, the young Grecian woman who’s first posting would be straight into the RTF was positively charged with energy even her gait carried a level of positivity and nativity any new ensign would have. “Hello!” She said in a heavily accented greek tone waving. “Ensign Lykaios though” She looked around, “If you’d like you can call me Cali after my first name Calliope her smile beamed as if to cast a glow over the group already gathered.

“Good to meet you, Lykaios,” Glados said with a small nod to the woman. A few more people arrived. A Bolian woman. A few humans. An Andorian. She greeted each one individually.

Jessie was not sure she her attendance was required or not and erred on the side of caution. Standing nearly six feet, the tall muscular quarter Klingon was dressed in red coveralls that were about three inches two short, black work boots and a Leviathan baseball cap turned backwards. Long jet black cane rows hung loosely and half wildly down her back matched her dark complexion. On her left cheek was a fresh deep scratch still trickling a small amount of blood. The Klingon growled at a couple of other crewman and nodded to others as she made her way to the front of the team. Falling into a group, she remained silent and waited to see what the meeting was about jsut as she caught sight of her new boss. A Borg? Well, that was unexpected. Jessie stiffened her shoulders and took on a half warrior stance preparing for a fight if needed.

GLaDOS caught sight of Polizzi and gave her a once-over, intrigued by the woman. “Crewman Polizzi. Thank you for coming,” she spoke.

GLaDOS, CSO

“It is my duty and my pleasure, ‘Ma’am,” Jessie said bowing her head towards her commanding officer. Even though Jessie had known the woman was a Borg, seeing her face to face for the first time was a bit unnerving. And intriguing. Curious as she was about the woman, even the crewman knew better than to ask the question that was on the tip of her tongue, begging to escape her lips. Getting another black mark on her record was not a good idea at this time. Or another night in the brig. Nope. She was keeping that to herself. For now. Instead, she asked a less personal question. “Why are we here, ‘Ma’am? Not that I mind a break from those stinking cages, but I am a little hungry.”

The young Grecian, Calliope was also in part interested as to why they had all been summoned though wasn’t going to voice it like the Klingon crewman that being said she did like her style, Klingons females had a lot more in common with Grecian females than she liked to admit.

OOC: Andromeda changed to Calliope.

“Ta matia sou Dekatessera,” Jessie said taking a long glance at the sun kissed woman next to her. It was a saying she had heard in Greece on a holiday with friends. Translated roughly to something like you have fourteen eyes. And Klingons had weird sayings? Standing up straight then relaxing her shoulders, Jessie considered if she should spit or not. Thinking back to her conversation and advice from the XO, she decided it might be too forward. Instead she made a ‘c’ with her hand and turned it towards herself, hoping she had the hand gesture correctly and said in a hushed voice hoping the CSO did not hear, “there’s a secret Klingon party later. If you want I can get you in.”
