Meat n' Greet

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. They are also told they must read information about their current situation and a survival guide with their new omnicom. New crew-mates might see a tall dragonish guy with wings (but don't call him that) and purple 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.]

"But wouldn't laser cannons be more likely to be on a space pirate vessel than a regular pirate vessel?"

She shakes her head. "I don't know the details, but nobody here seems concerned about it happening again."

Atom looked a little dubious. If it happened once, couldn't it happen again? Although with him here, they probably didn't have to worry so much.

"What are you doing here?" he asked finally. "Are you looking for someone?"

"My family's around already. I just like to come see the happy reunions. Don't worry, there are very few people who never find anyone from their home here."

"Yeah... maybe it's better if they stay in there, though. It's safer. I'm glad your family's okay."

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably. I think they're safer, in there. Occasionally the people who are awake get sent on missions and they always come back in foul moods."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Atom's brows knitted together in concern. "How come? Are they dangerous?"

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Generally. Or...demoralizing, a lot of the time. We haven't lost many on the missions but there have been injuries and close calls."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Atom was silent for a moment. "I guess I should help out with them, then. I bet if more people went on them, they'd be less dangerous."

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
She raises an eyebrow. "You fancy yourself a warrior? I mean, for all I know you are."

And yet there's something sad in how she says that.

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Atom smiled a little. "Well, you know. I'm pretty tough. Besides, it's less scary to do things together than it is to do them alone. Right?"

He didn't want to make her upset. She seemed like a nice woman.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
She smiles. "A true point, although I don't know of any solo missions yet. I half suspect their the ship's attempts at team bonding sessions."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Bonding sessions? I don't know... couldn't they do it in some way that's a little less dangerous?" What was the point of thrusting them into life-threatening situations just to get them to make friends if they ended up hating the ship?

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was being sarcastic." She winks. "But there doesn't seem to be much point we can see in them yet. Maybe down the road. The ship isn't very good at telling us what it needs."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Atom considered this. "...then I should try and go on as many as I can. I don't want people to get hurt if they don't have to."

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
She squints. "That's a noble goal. Mind if I ask how you plan to protect them? I guess you're hiding superpowers I don't know about."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm not really hiding them or anything. I'm a robot."

"No one here recognizes me, though," he added after a moment, almost as an afterthought.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
She makes a 'well alright then!' face and nods. "Should they?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, you know... I'm kind of famous, on Earth," he said, conspiratorially.

Shh, Eva. It's a secret. Okay, no it wasn't.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Me too," she says in a bit of a whisper. "Probably for different reasons. What are you famous for? Surely more than just being a robot?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I guess that's the biggest reason," Atom said, considering. After all, how many advanced robots were there out there that were built to look twelve? Not many, and that's what made him a curiosity.

"But I guess my superpowers are pretty famous, too."

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Your superpowers?" She rests a hand on her hip and cracks her back. "Don't most robots have them?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Atom shook his head. "No, some of them just work as travel agents, or construction workers, or interior designers... not all of them have special powers. Kind of like people, I guess."
