Hail the Conquering Heroes

Things can happen without Stacy knowing, that much is apparent now. The damage to her sensors is significant. But the fighting clued her in.

After it's all over, after those captured have been rescued, after the injured have been tended to, only the nest is left, and Stacy takes care of it.

||Infestation of Cluster 42, Level 4, Sector 7, Sublevel 12, Zone 37 has been detected. Triggering internal defenses. Decontamination commencing.||

There is a pause.

||Decontamination complete.||

Simple as that, once she knows the problem was there. Her internal sensors are damaged, especially in the city, and so are some of the systems monitoring them. You have to know what's broken to know to fix it.

Such a simple thing and it only took one man dying to make it happen. (His body is gone, by the way, ripped to shreds and eaten. There's not even a spot of blood on the floor. That's the bugs' doing. The bugs' bodies are gone too--that's Stacy's doing).

||Any injured personnel that still have not received medical attention, report to the nearest lift, and you will be transported to the MedBay. Any uninjured personnel, report to the Living Area, to the restroom facilities to undergo decontamination of xenobiological material. Then report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||

Said crew-mates--and the Doctor, who'd skipped out and miraculously ducked and weaved his way to the lift when he'd realized the Master was there--are there and waiting, and just a tad confused.

Javert had been having a rather boring time, watching everyone else scream and converse, not quite understanding what all the hubbub was for. He wasn't, in fact, sure he cared- he would find out later, of course.

He did, however, notice Chaucer. It was rather difficult not to.

"I assume you're aware that you're naked?" It wasn't that awkward; Javert had given it more than half a thought himself.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Chaucer turned his head, and then body, to look at Javert. Then glanced down at himself. "Ah, yes," he replied, looking back up at Javert and blinking slightly. "Yes I am."

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Javert nodded. Well, as long as he knew. He wasn't about to judge.

"Do you know what's happening here?"

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Geoff squinted around, then back to Javert. "You'll have to forgive me, sir, I just woke up. The most holy and terrifying apocalypse, perhaps?"

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
He snorted. "So it would seem. I've not been awake long enough to know."

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Geoff nodded awkwardly. What more could be said to that?

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Javert paused. He wasn't quite aware of the awkwardness of the moment, unfortunately."I am Javert."

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Finally, a name! This, Geoff could work with. "Geoffrey Chaucer, at your service." He studied Javert's face for any sign of recognition.

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
"...Ah." Only the barest hint. He knows he's heard the name; he's fairly sure it's literary. Therefore, in actuality, it means little to him.

Just in case Chaucer is wondering, no, he's not going to say it's a pleasure.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
The 'ah' is not enough. Geoff tries for more. "Writer of the Book of the Duchess? Shortly heretofore herald to the incredible, powerful, humble Sir Ulrich von Leichtenstein of Gelderland-cum-Sir William Thatcher of London?"

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard of you." Javert said, annoyance clearly visible. If you had a microscope. "But I'm afraid it is merely a cultural and chronological gap."

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Javert wasn't making sense. Chronological gap? He got a puzzled squint for his efforts. "Come again?"

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Apparently, everyone in here is from various points in space and time." He sneered slightly.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
What was it with people trying to lie to him when he was naked? "Right. And I'm not actually Geoffrey Chaucer, I'm Charlemagne."

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Pleased to meet you, Charlemagne, I am King Louis IV." Javert's having none of that.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Geoff swept a practiced bow. "Your majesty. You're looking very well for a man of your years."

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
"It's all of the sun, it keeps me young and tan." Javert raised an eyebrow.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah, I don't mean to contradict your Excellence, but I do believe that sun is now said to age a man; thus the farmer's weathered skin and the..." he bit his lip, smiling, before continuing, "milky white skin of the fairest, sheltered maidens."

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah, then one must wonder how I do keep myself youthful and yet dark as any negro." Smirk.

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Chaucer's eyebrows shot up. "Negro, sir?" He smirked slightly. "Best not let a noble hear you speak that way, or they'll throw you in the stockade."

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Really, sir? And what for."

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Racism, m'lord." Geoff tread carefully, still not entirely sure of this Javert's status.

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
"...What?" He blinks. "I hardly think that's applicable."

[identity profile] godimgood.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
If possible, Geoff's eyebrows went higher. "The Black Prince finds that the punishment befits the crime." Where had this man been hiding from the world?

[identity profile] asluciferfell.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Where I am from, it is no crime. And believe me, I would know." His eyebrows appear to be racing Chaucer's, as he can't imagine a place where such things recieve any notice.
