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 tall man in green armor 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.]

"I'll notify him, if he hasn't been told already. We have technology here to communicate with people on off-ship missions, as well as just general chatter and gossip within the ship, Krisi." She studies Krisi a little bit, noting the politeness, the shyness that doesn't translate to fear, the curiosity. "I'm sorry he couldn't be here to meet you straightaway."

"I am certain that he would have been here, if he were given the option. But the demands of his position are unchanged, I can wait for him to return and be ready to welcome him back when he does. It makes sense to send him on a diplomatic mission."

She wished he were here, but she also understood that her father must attend to matters - both of state and of the ship. "How does the technology work? Is there a way to access it? Are all messages open to all who might see them?"

Bight nodded at Eva's reply, watching and studying them both as they spoke, at Kali's questions as to the Omnicomm's Bight showed her the device he was carrying "It is reasonably simple to use, by entering a message into the device, either by voice or by the keys provided, the message will then appear available to those you wish it available to. Messages can either be locked to specific individuals or left open to all," He replied showing her on the omnicomm how it could be done, "I'm sure Eva would know a bit more of the details as to the workings than I, however you should have been given one when you entered the room, if not one can be retrieved for you,"

She's so very articulate for a youngster, Eva thinks. And far more understanding of her uncle's absence than she should be.

She decides against telling Krisi that Kang was branded whilst planetside, that this is a diplomatic mission that's taken a particularly ugly turn.

"Councilor, I should warn you now that if it's technology, I don't know how to use it. I only just discovered that omnicomm open comments don't have to be addressed and signed," she jokes. "But I'm sure I can show you around the device, Krisi. If I can figure it out, you can."

"I received one, the Chancellor showed me how to access the maps of the city, I had not yet encountered the message system, though. That is very clever. Faster than a courier and able to travel further as well."

She peered at the device, doing her best to soak up as much as she could while they were willing to explain. Useful, very useful. If her father could be contacted, then perhaps she could contact him as well. Or would it be better to wait and not distract him during his mission? Likely better to wait. She would still be here when he returned, distracting him at a vital stage of negotiations may result in an unfavorable result.

"Thank you, Eva, I would appreciate the assistance."

Bight too had thought against letting her know of that particular aspect of the mission in progress, she would find out in time, but just after release was hardly a time for such things.

The more he watched her, the more that he got the feeling that she was more used to Kang's comings and goings than would be reasonably expected of a niece, perhaps she was a particularly close niece of his but nevertheless. It would be something he would think on.

"You at least have the advantage of such technology being reasonably common place in your world," Bight replied with a chuckle, shaking his head before casting his gaze back to the crowd, "I shouldn't linger much longer, now that you are in Eva's capable care, a pleasure meeting you Krisi, should you have need feel free to contact me over the communications systems," he gave a nod to them both before stepping away.

Eva's having many of the same thoughts as Bight. If Krisi was such a part of Jang's life, why has he never mentioned her before? She doubts Krisi means any harm - she must at least be a friend - so she assumes that if this is indeed an alias, it's one made for safety.

"Thank you again, Bight." She reaches to take Kali's hand. "Want to come see my attempt at home decorating?"
