Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

Part of the crew might be gone, but life on the ship goes on. In fact, new people have woken up and, eventually, they've been spat out into the mess hall.

Maybe it's better to introduce them to some of the worst aspects of ship life first, right?

Anyway, the word is out that there's new people, and someone should probably go say hello. Before the n00bs mistake the glop for crew.

She would hold out a hand, but seeing as how she's a hologram. "SPARTAN-087. Or Kelly if you like."

"I think I'm gonna go with Kelly." She pauses again. "Kinda weird hearing people get called by their first names again."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"Last name Preston. No one uses that these days." She shrugs. "I don't much care either way."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"I'm just used to last names and agent names. ...Or just swearing at people. Usually works pretty well at getting their attention."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"I know the feeling." She smirks slightly. "That's a good point. Doesn't always raise morale though."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"...Your group actually cared about morale?"

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"UNSC Navy. What with the Covenant handing us our asses more than half the time, morale was always a worry."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

Tex shrugs. "We just kinda left morale up to ourselves. ...I think being away from each other was actually a morale booster."

There's a long moment's pause. "What kind of army were you?"

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"Technically, I'm not Red or Blue army. I was just hired by the Blues after Caboose shot Church. But in Blood Gulch? It wasn't so much armies as a couple people who were still alive despite themselves."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"And this all goes on under the UNSC?"

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"Honestly? I'm not sure who to blame for the whole Red vs. Blue thing. The more you try to find out, the bigger the headache gets."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"One of those damned if you, damned if you don't situations?"

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"No, I mean it's just so stupid and confusing that it's not really worth it."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"I suppose that's just as good. How did you wind up here in any case?"

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Before this, I was on a ship that was exploding. Then I'm in the AI complex here. You?"

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"Last I remember I was about to be blown up by a pair of Hunters. Then I was here."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so maybe nearly being blown up is a requirement to show up here."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. We should probably ask the others about that."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"A tally on who almost got blown up. That should be interesting."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"You're the AI. I'm sure you can compile the data more effectively than I could. 'Specially if you have access to the ship's memory banks."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Stacy? She's not what you'd call real open with information. And I'm still getting the hang on this AI thing."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"I haven't had direct contact with her myself. So I suppose that fact would be self-explanatory. Practice makes perfect they say."

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

"They never got shoved into an AI complex without any warning."

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

"Making the best of any situation is part of being a soldier."
