<snip>Mardusk looked at the diminutive doctor and gave her a big smile at the comment and a wink. “That’s what all the girls say, Ensign.”
Mardusk, CoS
“Just don’t make him angry. No one likes him when he is angry,” Kelly gave Mardusk a wink as they waited for the rest of the crew to arrive. Jessica’s comment wasn’t actually far from the mark. Most security chiefs instilled a sense of security and safety when you were in their presence but the sheer size of Mardusk amplified this feeling like a drug. One often felt a bit more bold and brazen when you knew the Orion had your back. She could handle herself quite well but knowing the Orion could wrap his hands around someone’s shirt and pummel him from side to side without breaking a sweat when you needed him to made Kelly feel ten foot tall and bulletproof.

“Up until the point you beat him in a game of holochess and he pulls your arms out of your sockets,” Nash said as he entered right behind Mardusk and looked up at him, the stub of an unlit cigar sticking out of the corner of his mouth. “Orions have been known to do that, haven’t they?” He asked, his face completely straight but both Kelly and Mardusk knew him well enough to know he only heckled people he hated or liked. Both of them also knew him well enough to know that because they knew him well enough, he liked them.
His eyes moved to the rest of the room, acknowledging Bordeaux and the new CSO, then falling on, Jessica, and pausing. “Je…Doctor Lemann, it’s good to see you again.” He said and smiled just for an instant as he adjusted his tunic slightly as he moved to stand beside her in particular, then made himself busy checking his phaser and tricorder.
Lt Cmdr Nash, CTO
Jessica had been pondering an adequate retort to Mardusk’s response when the door slid open to reveal Nash. Her green eyes sparkled as she admired him in his uniform, her cheeks flushing the slightest of pink as his gleaming rank pips caught her eye, and then her gaze finally rested on the cigar in the corner of his mouth. Her eyebrows crinkled down as a frown took over her features and she pointedly brushed against him as he checked his equipment and murmured, “I told you those things can kill you.”
Ensign Lemann
River arrived next. Her uniform was immaculate as always, the crease in her trouser followed their red lining, her boots shinned as brightly as her bras and the green trim of her torso had no blemish “So can many other things. A phaser, an airlock, even this ship.” she said as she approached the group. “But she’s right those things are the worst” she added standing next to Lemann.
“Captain, Mr Bordeaux, Lieutenant commander, Ensign, Lieutenant” she said nodding her head to each of the officers in greeting.
Lieut Styxx (Marine)
Mardusk looked at Lemann and then to Nash and simply shook his big, bald, green head slightly. Hearing Styxx, he looked at the always brooding Marine and said “I hope you polished your stick as well, Lieutenant. We don’t know how thorough their customs search will be and we want to make a good first impression, right?” innocuously, waiting for someone to ask.
Mardusk, CoS
“Ha ha” River said sarcastically almost venomously “I’d be more concerned if whether or not your ego can fit through customs. Don’t want to over stress the structure of the station.”£ she added.
Lieut Styxx (Marine)
Jessica noticed Mardusk’s look and met his eyes with an innocent, sweet smile… too innocent and too sweet. She turned to greet the Marine she had met during a golf session, “It’s nice to see you again, Lieutenant…” her voice trailed off, and then she made eye contact with Nash. With her eyes dancing mischievously, she commented, “hello again, Commander.”
Ensign Lemann
OCC: Okay so I have the most brilliant command crew who know I suffer from an acute case of main sim phobia yet none of you decided to take the lead and ask for directions :P Just hoping to make you all smile today when you read this. So let’s have a little fun here maybe. The GM has set up the main sim to move us forward. Make sure you post to move that along but if you want a chance to show some character personality go for it. I am going to start two small sub threads: Docking ring and hangar bay. There are clear endings to these subposts but please post in between if you want. We can post what we want here but also move the main sim along at the bottom. I am going to split this after my post here so the main sim remains intact. If you find you are having a lot of fun then break into shuttle banter if you want but please post to the main sim. ~ Kate
Docking Ring
Kelly looked around at the crew waiting at the docking ring with her. They all had the same expression: Boredom and how long are we going to just stand here looking like a cadet review. Pushing off the wall Kelly moved to the small window in the upper half of the docking ring. Peering out all she saw was the station in the distance and stars. “Okay this is ridiculous,” she said moving her hand. This incidentally caused the coffee cup to clink against the metal of the wall. Looking at Ian she rolled her eyes and moved to the nearest corner to her. Setting the cup down in the corner, Kelly looked back at her COS, CTO, and diplomatic attache. “Okay so anyone want to hazard a guess as to why we are just waiting here. The best answer is the one we go with. Nash, you are up,” Kelly said looking at her CTO. “And put that thing out,” she waved at the air.
Suddenly, as if Drayke had known the crew was playing some bizarre version of twenty questions, the engineering chief’s voice came over Kelly’s comm badge.
=/\= Captain? Oh Captain? =/\= a voice came through the comms, it was clear it was Commander Drayke.
=/\=Captain, I can see on my screen you are sitting at the docking ring?=/\= Jacen said looking at his screen which pinpointed the whole crew at the docking port waiting to be let in. He smirked as he shook his head lightly.
=/\=Yes Mr. Drayke is there an issue with the docking ring=/\= she tried to keep the frustration out of her voice.
=/\=Ma’am… you need to fire Ian if he told you to go there. We were asked to go through shuttles… this is an unknown port they won’t just let anyone make connections like that to their base. I have all the shuttles ready, just tell everyone you were giving them a tour of the ship and now we can begin the mission. Oh and while you are at it, please move that coffee cup… yes I see it ma’am… our cleaning crews don’t need extra work. Ian is the bus boy make him take it.=/\= Jacen added, the signature of the cup registered as one made from his mobile replicator unit he gave her. He knew that the cup would be an issue if the device he gave her was found by others cause the Captain had a coffee addiction and Ian was an enabler.
“Okay I guess we head to the shuttle bay,” Kelly made a gesturing motion with her hands back down the hallway.
=======================
Shuttle Bay
=======================
Kelly walked into the shuttle bay and looked at all the ships. The crew was not thrilled with her choice of names but there was no way anyone was going to get her shuttles mixed up with another ship’s. Several seemed to be prepped and with three solid pilots in her entourage, she wasn’t going to worry about which ship anyone went on. They all knew the destination so how they got there didn’t matter to her. What did matter was picking the shuttle that held her chief engineer. The shuttles were lined up as followed: Banner, Parker, Odinson, Rogers, Romanov and Drake. Instantly she knew where Jacen had parked his butt. “Okay pick your ride and we meet up at the space station,” Kelly said walking towards the ship named after the Marvel Hero Iceman.
