'Meat' 'n Greet

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

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

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

Ben tried taking a more direct approach. "And no one thinks it's weird that the big bad destroyers of worlds never attack?"

"Mmm...that is a good point," Arha said thoughtfully. "They are engaged with the Daligig, the race that created this ship. It is possible that one ship such as this one is not of pressing concern quite yet."

"Shavit." Ben's hand strayed to his lightsaber belt. "So how do you know they even want to attack?"

"Such is the very reason why I, myself, wish more information," Arha said. "We do not know much about the situation we have been thrust into. We should find out more, learn all we can, and do what is needed to restore our homes. It is difficult to know what is what when you are faced with so many bizarre things all at once."

"I want to talk to the ship again," he said bluntly. He had some vague idea that Stacy would act like Ship, that it would be alien but not impossible to communicate with.

"Ask her," Arha murmured. "She will generally answer, though she can be...less than forthcoming on some matters. Stacy will tell you what she can."

"Or she could lie," he countered.

"This you will have to determine yourself," she said with a flick of her fingers. "I cannot say 'this is true' when you have not experienced it yourself. Use your mind, determine, figure. You are intelligent, you are Jed-Eye. There is not much that will stop you."

"Except the fact that only a goo-obsessed supership knows anything about the Ohm," grumbled Ben. This was going to be one long investigation.

"You would be unsatisfied with an easy answer," Arha said quietly. "As would I. As would all of us. It will require serious work and we will have answers, though they may give us more questions to ask."

"Probably." He looked into her too-blue eyes. "Who's been here the longest -- not counting the ship and whoever built it?"
