'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.]

He wished that more than anything too. Simon had already encountered multiple crew members who'd all told him they weren't certain that River was on the ship and awake, so there had been a part of him that knew she wasn't here.

Now, hearing Kaylee confirm it, that part had won out. Denial had only worked for so long.

Simon pulled his lips tight and gazed at the floor, taking in the reality of where he was and what had happened. "I hope so too." He said, not sure what good hope would do.

At least one of them could be optimistic. In the meantime, Simon knew he'd have to make himself useful. "Do you think the staff could use another surgeon?"

"Might take some time," she warned. "Been here four months myself already, and you're the first I've seen. Just gotta be patient with it."

If he was willing to jump in and help just like that, though, Kaylee knew he'd be fine. Worried and fretting constantly, but fine.

She glanced around the room to see if she couldn't spot any of the medical staff. "They can always use the help, especially post-mission. Don't see any of 'em right here, but they're bound to be in the room someplace. Dr. McNinja's the head..."

Simon didn't particularly want to be patient, knowing that River was either sleeping in a pod full of goo or dead. Obviously, the former would be preferable, but he would have to wait and see, and it was the waiting that was going to be awful.

He added "Dr. McNinja" onto the list of people he was going to have to find.

"I think I'd like to take a look at the infirmary, if that's all right." A medical team implied a medical bay, after all. If anything, it would take his mind off his sister's absence.

No one on the ship really wanted to be patient. They didn't really have a choice in the matter, unfortunately, not when Stacy was still all scrambled up.

"I can show ya down there, if you like?" Kaylee looked around again, just in case there was someone who could help better. Nope, just a wall of people. "Do you wanna take another look 'round in here first? Just in case we've missed anybody?"

"I'd like that." Simon was about one-hundred-and-ten percent positive that if he struck out on his own to anywhere other than this room, he would get hopelessly lost and never find his way back ever again.

That was a slightly terrifying thought.

As much as he hated to admit it, if they were going to find any of Serenity's crew members, splitting up would help them do it faster. "Only if we can find each other again." He said with a small but somewhat uncertain laugh.

"She's not so bad, once you get used to the system of everythin'," she added. "Stacy, I mean. Just big and there's a lot to her."

It took practice, finding one's way around, exploration and the occasional helping hand from another crew member. Even Stacy would probably help, if one got too lost.

Kaylee thought for a moment, then motioned toward the closest exit. "We can meet right back here, once we're sure." Provided Simon remembered which one it was, at least.
