'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.]

< OK, maybe it is. >

< I just...I figured all of us should be aware of it. I know what you mean though, about fighting in secret.> Tobias replied. < Would it be a bad idea, do you think? >

[livestoannoy]

Marco shrugged. "Hey, I just don't know Elfangor and Loren like I know you guys. I dunno, ask Ax."

< Yeah, I'll see what he thinks, at least for a second opinion. It's a lot for me to think about all at once. > Tobias agreed.

"As long as at the end of it, that Yeerk's dead," Marco said darkly. "Let me know when you and Ax find something, okay? But I'm gonna have to stay out of your way until we do. It'll mess everything up if Tom sees me with you guys."

< I understand. I'll keep thinking on the situation and try to find Ax. And I promise I'll be careful when you're around...Unless we double the ruse and make them think I'm a controller too, they may remember me as an Animorph. I'll have to morph small again and talk to you without being seen, or we'll have to meet where we're sure we're alone. Kinda like the old days, huh? >

< I just wish we could make Stacy see that. I can't shake the feeling that she'll try to stick herself into this somehow. I know she hates it when people try to get physical. >

"No, having you as a controller too is too risky. You'd be better off morphing human and pretending you're just a random guy who doesn't know anything about this at all. And we are staying way out of Stacy's way. I don't know what she thought bringing them here, but I am not going to risk her getting in the middle of this."

< Yeah, I agree with you > Tobias said. < They'll find out soon enough anyway, no need to risk my tailfeathers before I need to. And you are so right there. The more out of her way, the better. >

[livestoannoy]

"You and Ax better find somewhere good then," Marco said. "Anyway, I better get going in case Mr 'I'm so good at staying under cover' comes back and sees us."

< Man, I wish Erek would come out of those pods. We could really use his holograms. I wonder if Stacy could make them. > The Chee might not be able to fight the Yeerks, but he'd be really helpful about now in other ways. I know what you mean, though, and I'll definitely be careful. I don't think there's a lot they can do if they find us out, but we do *not* wanna take that chance. >

"Dude, we can't ask Stacy to make holograms to hide us from her," Marco said, rolling his eyes. "And I doubt Erek would help us kill a Yeerk, anyway."

Marco sneered at the thought of Erek. If if hadn't been for him powering down the pool ship's weapons...

"Look, I'll catch you later, alright? Just give me a thought-speak if you need me," he said, moving to make his way down the corridor.

< Well, what I really meant was that I wish we had the technology here. Because Erek wouldn't actually help, no way. > Tobias replied.

< Okay, will do. > Tobias replied as he took to the air.
