Sooo...Meet-y

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

Comments

Okay. Clearly he was making her nervous.

"Oh, at ease, amiga. You don't have to call me 'sir'," he said insistently. "Dr. Sera is more than fine. In fact I'd actually prefer 'Luis.'"

She was going to be able to speak, how else was she going to figure this out? Mithros and the Black God...

She nodded, and took another deep breath, "Yes S- Luis. sir"

She looked around, doing her best to act the part of a guardswoman, "Where are we?"

"You're on a spaceship," he explained in the tone of voice that some people use to talk about the weather. "You've been taken from your original home and brought here to serve as an unwilling soldier in a war against aliens who are trying to blow up the universe."

That about covered it.

"All right, I'm being way too blunt... you're going to be here a while, let's put it that way. It sounds like a bunch of garbage, but it's true... and there's no reason to panic. It's not too bad a place. It's mostly safe, everybody here is on our side and the ship is sentient and takes care of us. Her name's Stacy. You can talk to her if you need anything that I can't help with. In the meantime, you might as well try to relax and get comfortable."

Why wasn't she with someone? Anyone who could do the talking for her? Even Pounce, her cat, would have been better than nothing. Her knees locked subconsciously, and she wasn't going to faint. ...Not yet anyway.

"A war? I'm. I'm not a soldier I'm a guardswoman! I..." It was really the only part of his comment she understood. Aliens? Universes even?

"I've never even been on a ship beyond a river boat!"

[notlewis]

"You and me both, amiga," he sighed heavily. "Last ship I was on only crossed a lake. In any case, there's not much point in stressing out about it... got to just make the best of the way things are, you know?"

He wished he could be more helpful but hey, half of her complaints were his own too. "Anything specific I can help you with right now?"

She looked around, still trying to make heads or tails of what surrounded her. "Luis, what..."

This wasn't going well. "What do we do?"
