[Golden Mingle - It's glitter-tastic!]

Who: The crew of the SS Golden and any visitors!
Broadcast: Could be? We'll see what people do.
Action: SS Golden
When: 01/18 -> Any time in the coming week

[Ah, the Golden. A lovely little ship with a weird little crew. They got two new people last week, and now another person? How will they all get along? Tune in and find out!

Yep yep, it's a mingle, crew of the Golden. Time for all these weirdos to hang out and see what happens...]
monolike: (a discovery!!!!)

Oh right! [Sorey jogs over and pokes his head into the cabin of the shuttle.] I know a little of the technical stuff. I'm in engineering. You have to clean the fuel lines once in a while too, right?

Yep, that's right. A diagnostic scan will tell you if you need to do that, and it'll tell you if there's anything else on the fritz that needs to be fixed before you go out. The last thing you need is the life support systems or engines failing when you're out in space.
monolike: (okay but where the fuck is it)

[stop staring at her and pay attention kiddo]

It is so weird that I know what most of that means...you sound so comfortable talking about this. Is that because of the augment?

[ Staring is so rude! Good thing Hera's an easygoing lady. ]

No, I've been a pilot for a long time. I know ships, it's what I do.
monolike: (ayyyy lookin atchu)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-01-22 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
You've done this before? [Leans over the pilot seat!!] Are you some kind of space explorer? How many different planets have you been to?
firstrebel: (003)

[personal profile] firstrebel 2016-01-22 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not an explorer. I just fly a freighter.

[ She points out a few things. ]

Really all you need to know for short trips is the auto-pilot. Just tell the system here which ship you plan to visit, and hit this key here.

And I've been to a lot of planets.

[Sorey at least follows her hand as she points and nods at the appropriate places, but it's clear his attention is somewhere else.]

Can I ask how many? Did you get to see a lot of them, or did you have a favorite?

[ Hera looks vaguely amused. He seems to think her life is a lot more glamorous than it really is. ]

I don't keep a running tally, but probably over a dozen at this point. Maybe more like two dozen if you count moons. And I'm not sure I have a favorite. There are interesting people everywhere you go.
monolike: (i'm ready for my interview)

[look when your entire life is spent on the same continent then hauling cargo across space is as glamorous as it gets]

That's true! Running into different cultures is hands-down the best part about traveling. You must have seen so much already.

[ Not all of it is so great, but she's not going to rain on this kid's parade. ]

I once visited a moon that was basically all made out of this beautiful crystal stuff. It was gorgeous.

[ The moon also almost got blown up and thousands of people killed, but she stopped that from happening. ]
monolike: tone down red, brighten eyes (hahaha well that's stupid)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-01-24 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Geez, that's so neat. I've seen crystal formations before, but not something like an entire moon made out of it! [It's a tight squeeze to get back into that half-cargo area behind the pilot seat, but Sorey makes it work. It's definitely cozy though.] Were you there to take some of it with you?
firstrebel: (010)

[personal profile] firstrebel 2016-01-25 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I was there to - help people.
monolike: (ayyyy lookin atchu)

[what's with that pause] Annnd you did, right? [i believe in the best of you despite meeting you minutes ago]
firstrebel: (010)

[personal profile] firstrebel 2016-01-26 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we succeeded, ultimately.

[ Some people died, but more were saved. ]
