'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.]

Spike nodded. "She is. Very sweet girl. I hope she's not gone. She's the only one in that sodding corporation worth much."

He glanced at Giles. "Collapsing Sunnydale? That was a while ago for me. I came back a ghost, haunted Wolfram and Hart for a while, got solid, and just stayed in LA. Last I remembered, I was arguing with tall, dark, and completely incapable of admitting he's wrong." He frowned for a second and looked back at Buffy. "Who'd win in a fight between cavemen and astronauts?"

Not that it mattered now, if Angel was gone.

In the midst of all the excitement, Giles had briefly forgotten about Spike's death. His mind was in a bit of disarray still, but Spike's comments brought it right back.

"I'd forgotten that...I do recall Buffy saying you had sacrificed yourself. Remarkable that you were resurrected as it were." said Giles.

"Interesting. It's difficult to wrap my mind around such technology, but it will be extremely helpful."

Something occurred to Giles. "I just hope that there aren't people in there whom we'd regret meeting again." He shivered at finding out that old enemies had been brought here...Drusilla...Glory...the Master...It would be a disaster if they were there.

"For example, if I'm to be trapped aboard this craft with Ethan Rayne, I may lose my sanity." he said. "And of course there are those who would be far worse. I'd hate for Glory or the First to arrive here."

"I'm not so keen on the First either, but I'm pretty sure Stacy likes her people all corporeal-y," Buffy replies. "And we fought Glory once. We can do it again. Especially now that I have my shiny toy," she remarked, unsheathing the scythe and showing it do Giles and Spike. "I do love this so much." Then she added, "Cavemen. They might have died off, but I'm pretty sure they were tough. And I'm talking from experience. Remember the beer that turned me into CaveBuffy?"

"See? Thank you. I agree. Angel's just wrong." He nods, satisfied, then looks more serious. "We can't know who else'll show up, good or bad. But Buffy's right. We can take 'em."

"Unfortunately, yes. That was a rather difficult to forget experience" Giles replied.

He was at the least buoyed by the confidence he saw. "Yes, we quite likely could. I wonder, though, if this craft is indeed sentient, how it would take battles going on within it." It was still difficult for him to comprehend the idea of a living machine this vast and complex.
