Marriage Planet

Stacy's voice came over the comm, blaring across the entire ship.

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

The mouth in the main sculpture on Obs Deck opened, revealing a screen with the image of a mottled blue and purple planet, rotating slowly.

Planet Designation: Gondepetil
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Mass slightly larger than most Earths.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Yes.
Water: 88% of the planet's surface.

Climate: Similar to Earth's Mediterranean climate. Warm but hospitable.  [Click here for cultural equivalents for non-Earth cultures.]
Landscape:
Short trees and scrubs. Most mountains are plateaus, terrain is hilly and rocky on 65% of the land surface.
Air: Normoxic concentration: 25% oxygen, 65% nitrogen, 5% xenon, 5% trace gases, such as hydrogen, neon, krypton, and argon.

Air Pressure: 17.02 pounds per square inch. Heavier than ship's air pressure, but breathable.
Sky: Blue/purple with silver clouds.
Sun: A class G2V, yellow star. The planet is unusually close to its sun, but its ozone layer is fully capable of filtering out harmful radiation.

Mission: Spiritual elders of the local inhabitants are in possession of an artifact of great importance to the war against the Ohm. The crew will participate in the inhabitants' rituals of judgment and joining to enter the region known as the Sacred Mount, where the artifact is being stored. The crew is to negotiate with the spiritual elders to acquire this artifact. The crew is expected to comply with any of their demands in order to successfully complete negotiations.


Time for another mission, then.
bonnypiperlad: (seriously?)

"I'd not be surprised if we'll not find that out until we actually get there," comes a voice with a distinct Scottish burr to it. It belongs to a young man who's wearing a kilt and looking up at the mouth with a faintly disgruntled expression on his face.

He does turn his attention back to Ronnae after a moment, frowning a little as he tries to place her. She looks vaguely familiar, in that passed-someone-in-the halls sort of way.

"Is this your first mission, then?"

Ronnae averts her gaze slightly but nods. "Yeah. I just wish I was going more prepared... Or would have known what was gonna happen." She sighed, rubbing her arm lightly. "I didn't even bring my equipment."
bonnypiperlad: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie snorts. "I've got a friend who would say half the fun is not knowing where ye wind up or what's going to happen when ye get there." Privately, he kind of agrees with the Doctor on that score. He doesn't seem to have noticed the averted gaze, however - mostly because he's looking back up at the screen again.

"Aye, well, it may not be as bad as all that, if it's just some wee ritual." Glancing back to Ronnae, he looks at her thoughtfully for a moment, then sticks out his hand. "I don't think we've met. Jamie McCrimmon."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ronnae blinks and bows quickly. "Ronnae, Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos. It's an honor Jamie McCrimmon." She extends her hand as well a bit shyly and shakes his hand.
bonnypiperlad: (Heeeey...)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Och, ye don't have to bow," Jamie says dismissively, before giving her hand a rather firm shake. He knows that name, though, and he suddenly gives her a brief grin, somewhat pleased with himself that he's remembered.

"Ronnae...oh! You're the one Billy mentioned!"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
She blushed heavily. "B-billy mentioned me?" Yup she wanted to flee right about now. "I ah... h-hope it wasn't anything b-bad..." She paused looking away embarrassed.
bonnypiperlad: (looking)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie's not expecting his words to cause that strong of a reaction, and he blinks in surprise. "No, not at all," he says quickly. "He mentioned ye were new in Engineering, and..."

He realizes it might not be the best idea to mention the that cloaking-device thing she was working on, given that blush, so he opts to go with the other part of the conversation instead.

"And that ye helped him with testing out the smoothies he was making for us. They turned out very well, by the way."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ronnae rubbed the back of her head awkwardly and smiled a bit embarrassed. "Oh! You're one of the long time friends he mentioned then? It's an even bigger honor to meet you!" She laughed lightly covering her mouth, "I'm glad they did, he seemed really wanting to make it a nice day." She offered a warm smile even if she seemed to slowly be getting over the embarrassment.
bonnypiperlad: (smile)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Aye. Billy's one of my best friends," he says simply, giving her a smile in return. Ronnae seems quite nice, actually, if a wee bit shy. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Better than some cheeky wee lasses Jamie knows, if you ask him. "The smoothies helped a bit with...well, with things," he admits. "Thank ye for lending a hand with that."

Hopefully that will help with the embarrassment - he really hadn't meant to cause her any. It had just sort of happened.

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
She smiled, "That's really good to know," looking down in thought she continued, "Recently I found out he hasn't had the best of luck with roommates or friends... So I'm really happy to hear he has good friends, like you and Katara."

She seems to have eased up a bit, a little of the blush dissipating. She laughed lightly "Umm it was nothing really, if a-anything it was great taste testing!" She smiled shyly.
bonnypiperlad: (So...)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
"That's the problem with being here," Jamie comments. "People wind up going back to the pods just when you're used to having them around. It's hard to wake up one morning and realize they're gone."

He falls silent for a moment, thinking of the times that's happened to him. Well, the ones he can actually remember, but most of those revolve around someone who came back, after a fashion, so he shakes it off.

"I take it you've been spending a wee bit of time with Billy, then?"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
And the blush comes back hurray! She rubs her arm a little embarrassed and averts her gaze. "Y-yeah, I m-mean we do work together." She laughs nervously.
bonnypiperlad: (notquiteserious)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-06 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh-ho. So it's like that, is it? There's a hint of his crooked grin for a moment, but Jamie will be nice and not tease Ronnae about it. At least, not yet. He doesn't know her well enough yet to figure out how she'd feel about it.

"Oh, aye, of course. So are ye going to do anything special for Engineering, then, or are ye just going to help out around the department?"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Her expression eased a lot once the subject changed to work, like lifting an Elekk off her shoulders. She smiled albeit shyly. "Yup! Billy tasked to to work on some defensive projects. Finished two of them recently, so now I'm waiting for further instructions while helping the department in general!" She said excitedly, it was clear she loved doing this sort of thing.
bonnypiperlad: (serious)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-07 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie thinks he knows exactly what she's talking about with 'defensive projects', and he nods enthusiastically. "Aye, like with the guns? Billy's shown me a wee bit about how to put those together."

It doesn't occur to him she might be talking about other types of defenses. You can defend things plenty well with guns, after all. "Although we did have a wee problem with the slop-goo gun," he says, his expression a little pensive for a moment. Poor Cassie. The look clears quickly.

"He and Kaylee have been training me to help there as well. I'm not so good at it yet, but if ye need a hand, let me know."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ronnae smiled listening to him, she crossed her arms; "Well more like shields and things to let you escape, or be invisible. But! I have made guns back home. Always fun! Maybe we can work together sometime!" She said excitedly, it was clear that speaking about gear, bolts and sprockets made the girl a bit more at ease.

Even Jamie can pick up on that part of it. Billy could do much worse then Ronnae, he decides. And privately, if he doesn't see some signs of something there, he may just have to encourage his friend. He'll have to see, though. For all he knows, they may have already taken steps there.

He does need to check on that. Right now, though, he nods. "Maybe we could, yes. Although I think you're a wee bit ahead of me if ye can make people invisible."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's alright, there's always something new to learn from anyone!" She said merrily. At least she had calmed down a lot now that her mind was focused on engineering.
bonnypiperlad: (Look...)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2011-02-09 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Aye, well, most of this is new to me," Jamie admits. "So ye would be right, there." He glances up at the screen again for a moment, then turns back to Ronnae.

"Look, I think I'd best go find someplace to get situated before all the good spots are taken, but it was nice meeting ye, Ronnae."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae bowed and smiled. "It was nice meeting you as well Jamie. Hope we can meet again." With that, the girl turned her attention to the screen, wondering what the mission will be like.
