The Heart is a Lonely Huntress

[boymeetsfatherhood]

Who: The crew of the Huntress and any visitors!
Broadcast: None
Action: The Huntress!

[Aside from hijinks on the beach planet, the crew has a few things to get used to. The departure of one captain, the abrupt promotion of another, plus new crew members. Let's see how things go...]

Marhi is my kin, and Lady Matthews her comrade. We've met but once before, soon upon our arrival on the Marsiva, but she has my trust, and he as her kin.

Really? I had no idea you went back that far...you won't need an introdution to those two, then! We have a few others on the ship as well, however - Cullen and Elize, and Isabela. A man, a young girl, and another woman.

[curiositykilledthecats]

I have met Lady Elize, but the others remain strangers to me.

[hearsthesea]

You'll probably see them soon enough. Isabela is the pilot, and Cullen is on security...and he and Elize are often together.

[She smiles. They're sweet together, and seeing them happy is one of the good things about being on the Huntress.]

I'm in the lab myself, so if you're ever in need of aid please don't hesitate to come to me.

[curiositykilledthecats]

... There are others with the security augment on this ship?

[hearsthesea]

Yes, that happens sometimes. In fact, it was true even back when there were only three of us here. Strange, isn't it?

[curiositykilledthecats]

Strange, but it is good. I will be heartened to have another shield at my side.

[hearsthesea]

Nobody's ever put it that way before.

[Historically things have usually been the reverse.]

A shield at your side...I like it.

[curiositykilledthecats]

A shield is a comfort, is it not?

[hearsthesea]

I wouldn't say it's always true, but - most of the time, yes. It is.

[curiositykilledthecats]

A shield and a steadfast comrade, then.

[hearsthesea]

That's more like it. Something like that is a great comfort.
