Meet N' Greet!

It's big meeting time! Word of mouth gets everyone gathered in the Obs Deck--everyone. New, old, the entire crew is there and that makes it clear that there's close to a hundred of them, if not more.

When they've all arrived, a blue bubble pops up around them, courtesy of Blue Beetle, to block them all from Stacy's sensors. Most of the new people were given the basic rundown by Cybil or Chief when they were first released. Some of them have already joined a discussion with a the Commanding Officers and department heads. Some have had a chance to explore a bit. Some were only just recently released.

Worf!Intro

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Worf stands dourly to one side, glowering at just about everyone except Jean-Luc Picard and Jim Kirk.

Worf, don't you want to introduce yourself to these fine folks?

"Hey, mister. You gonna give your name or what?"

She already thinks she knows who you are, but...y'know, that's rude and all.

Have more glowering, but also an answer.

"I am Lieutenant-commander Worf."

"Yeah? And I'm Cale," a skinny blond kid says as he steps forward and extends his hand to Worf. If he looks like he's posturing and trying to be macho, it's because he is.

Worf appraises Cale a moment. He gives a silent nod. This Cale is direct and forecful, admirable attributes to a Klingon. He reaches out and gives Cale's hand a firm shake.

"It is...nice to meet you."

"Leela Bricker," she says, and she nods to his mek'leth. "That is a kickass sword. Can I see it?"

She had some sort of holstered bladed weapon at her back herself, though it was hard to see exactly what it was while in its sheath.

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Worf raises an eyebrow.

"No."

[identity profile] mapquest-titan.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"What do you wanna see that for anyway?" Cale interjects, being very dismissive of Worf's mek'leth. He also appears to be a little annoyed. "It's just a sword."

[identity profile] daaayum.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
There's a pout.

"I didn't ask to hold it. I just wanted a closer look," she says to Worf.

And when Idiot boy speaks, she turns around.

"And I wanna see it 'cause edged weapons are kinda my thing and I've never seen a sword like that before."

She turns back to Worf. "There's a guy here, Zuko, that's got these hook swords. Very well made. They look like they've got some good balance to 'em."

He won't let her touch his swords either. These people are no fun.

"I'm wondering how that's even made. I saw the warrior monks of Matihafa in the forge and how they did their metal-work and all, and it's hard doing jagged asymmetrical edges like that..."

She's not a little kid, Worf, she's a warrior. Interested in learning new warrior things.

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so she seems to know what she's talking about. That's enough to win Worf over, at least for now. He draws the blade and carefully holds it to allow her a closer look, giving Cale a glower. Swords are important, okay?

"It is a Klingon weapon, called a mek'leth. A warrior's blade." He turns it to show the edge. "It is not easy to master, nor is it's larger cousin, the bat'leth." He pauses awkwardly for a moment.

"I do not have a bat'leth with me, I'm sorry to say."

[identity profile] daaayum.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Leela gets out hers now.

"See, that looks much better at close-range than what I got," she says, pulling out her scythe, chain attached. "This is a hibis janzir. Kinda typical Matihafan design, but a little smaller than what they usually make. Sort of similar to a Japanese kusarigama. On the one hand, it's great for mid-range, 'cause the chains good for tangling up limbs and other weapons and even for impact damage, but I definitely need room to swing it, and it's only so-so at close range. I've been trying to find something better to have secondary for close-range."

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Worf nods, examining Leela's weapon.

"A worthy weapon. It must take some skill to wield properly."

[identity profile] mapquest-titan.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Never mind the man behind the curtain kid standing off to one side with his arms folding firmly against his chest and his face twisted up into an unmistakable pout. He's just jealous Leela's not paying attention to him that he doesn't have a cool weapon and all he has is this stupid ring of his dad's.

The Chief, observant as he is, picks up on that. "You're familiar with the Captains?"

It's a slightly subtler tack than asking for identification, anyway. Chief's never seen anything quite like this guy before and he's been approaching new things with caution lately.

Re: Worf!Intro

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Worf nods briskly.

"I served under Captain Picard for a good part of my Starfleet career, and I am familiar with Captain Kirk's exploits."

"Both seem capable officers," says the Spartan, nodding. "Who are you?"

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"I am Lieutenant-Commander Worf, formerly of the Enterprise and currently assigned to Deep Space Nine...well, not anymore."
prettycoolguy: (helmless: Yes I do have a face.)

"Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-117," the Chief replies. "United Nations Space Commission, Navy. I wasn't assigned anywhere, moved where I was needed. I've been standing as Commander under Captain Bennet."

Worf offers a hand for a customary handshake.

"Captain Picard told me I should speak to you about security arrangements. I was the Chief of Security about the Enterprise."
prettycoolguy: (helmless: Yes I do have a face.)

Re: Worf!Intro

[personal profile] prettycoolguy 2009-05-05 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
The Chief accepts the handshake.

"He told you right. Things are pretty hectic around here, it's extremely difficult to get anyone organized. But you've probably seen that already."

Re: Worf!Intro

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-05 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
He nods.

"I have...people seem very eager to assert that they will not work with us or allow us to exert any form of authority, yet somehow expect us to get somewhere. It is...aggravating."
prettycoolguy: (helmless: Er...)

Re: Worf!Intro

[personal profile] prettycoolguy 2009-05-05 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't blame them. We're all lost with a bunch of strangers on a ship that may or may not be trying to kill us. I just wish they'd understand that I, for one, don't intend to stab anybody in the back."

Re: Worf!Intro

"...This is very true. But the captain would never betray someone. And nor would I."

"And I don't make promises that I don't keep. Still, I tend to keep a healthy suspicion for officers. I've been shafted by one or two on the field who'd rather look out for his own men than give half a damn for me and my squad. Part of being a Spartan."

"If we're going to trust each other we have to start somewhere, so I'm giving everyone the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason not to."

Re: Worf!Intro

[identity profile] sonof-mogh.livejournal.com 2009-05-05 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Worf seems a bit troubled.

"Captain Picard has never 'shafted' anyone under his command. He has always been a fair commander. He has never left anyone behind unless he has been absolutely forced to."

"But yes. That is a good place to start."
