Shore Leave!

Suddenly, the usual relative peace of the ship is disrupted by a rather loud announcement from Stacy.

||Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention, all personnel...||

It's entirely likely that she won't stop repeating the announcement until, well, everyone reports to Obs Deck. The mouth in the huge statue on the wall opens, revealing a screen. On it, the dossier for the mission flickers into display, understandable to every person there. Smaller copies of the dossier appear in holographic form in front of everyone.

The planet's stats, right next to a rotating picture of it, blue with thousands of small islands just barely visible, are as follows:

Planet Designation: Zokez II
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Various species of intelligent life, including Homo Sapiens.
Water: 96% of the planet's surface.

Climate: Similar to Earth's tropical island regions. [Click here for cultural equivalents for non-Earth cultures.]
Landscape: All land is in the form of tropical islands. A large portion of this land is highly developed for commercial use by resorts and other entertainment industries.
Air: Normoxic concentration: 28% oxygen, 62% nitrogen, 5% xenon, 5% trace gases, such as hydrogen, krypton, and argon.

Air Pressure: 14.543 pounds per square inch.
Sky: Blue with silver-white clouds.
Sun: A class F2V, yellow star.

Warnings: Deep water areas can be hazardous to those with limited skill in swimming.

Mission: None. Shore leave is now initiated.

...Waitaminute. That's no mission.

It's a goddamn vacation.

Grif, having overheard, will be busy hunching his shoulders and trying to appear smaller.

Alas, Tex has already zeroed in on him, mostly because 1. he's close by and 2. if all else fails, she can just try jumping.

"I can see you, moron."
whyarewehere: (.Yeah I know I'm awesome)

"I'm not ruining anything. I just want out of this friggin' ship, too."
whyarewehere: (.I'm not sure this is a good idea...)

"Look. I don't want to have to put up with Doc for the whole trip. At least you I know how to ignore." She glances around for a moment. "And you two are the only ones who've got armor I can puppet so I can actually do things."

"I'd lay money that Cortana's going to hitch a ride. And even if she doesn't? I'll still have to deal with her later."
whyarewehere: (.What's that over there?)

Re: Briefing

"Still. There are like a hundred thousand people besides me for you to bother. Go do that."

Re: Briefing

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2010-06-12 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Like I said. There's the whole thing where I can actually control the armor and do things. Not just stand and watch, but do things."
whyarewehere: (.I'm not sure this is a good idea...)

Tex sighs. "What if I trade a favor for it?"

"...What kind of favor?"

She has his attention.

That gets a shrug. "It depends on what you call it in for. Me getting something for you, me helping you out in some other way, me dealing with somebody else for you...whatever."
whyarewehere: (-Thinkin')

Re: Briefing

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2010-06-12 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
He thinks about it.

Think think think.

"...Anything?"

Tex peers at him for a long moment. "...That I can pull off. Don't expect me to try and hack crap."
whyarewehere: (.What's that over there?)

Re: Briefing

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2010-06-12 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
He has a few thoughts.

"...Alright. It might be worth that. But if you *$@! up my vacation I am never forgiving you. Ever. Even less than I forgive you for things already."

"I'm not going to screw things off. All I want is a lift and a chance to take over the suit for a little bit. Do some target shooting or something."
whyarewehere: (.Oh. Hi.)

"If they let us have weapons, that is," says Grif. It's a resort, after all.

"Maybe I'll throw rocks at things. I just want to be solid."
whyarewehere: (.What's that over there?)

Re: Briefing

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2010-06-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Or pretend to be solid," he corrects. His body, Tex! His!

"You know what I mean," she says, then crosses her arms again. "So. Deal?"

He sighs. "Sure. Hop on."

He gets the feeling this is going to go badly, but... hey. A favor. There are things he could do with that.
