01 [ video / action ]
Who: Dean doing the OTA thing
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: anybody on the Marsiva
When: 1/27 - 1/29
a; (acting alone)
[ The video cuts in accidentally (are accidents ever accidental?) to Dean using a plastic knife of all things to pry a panel, about four feet in each direction, off the wall in front of him. It takes some jimmying, but after a couple seconds, it pops right off, and Dean catches it before it falls more than an inch or so open. He looks around quickly as he slides the panel aside (got to work fast with cameras on and no easy way to disable them), but when he looks to what the panel was covering, his head jerks back in surprise. Then he crouches in close to get a better look. ]
...Really?
[ Behind the panel is a network of machinery, all interwoven, some of it whirring quietly as it moves together like... like nothing Dean's ever seen. He stares at it, his expression as openly mystified as he feels before he slides the panel back on and snaps it back into place. He stands, loose-limbed and completely clueless as to what the hell he's supposed to do with that. ]
Oh, this is way above my pay grade.
[ Seriously. Where are the air ducts? The red and green wires? The, you know, normal wall stuff? Dean thought he could figure this spaceship thing out, but damn it, Shatner and Ford never prepared him for this level of sci-fi weirdness. ]
b; (the buddy system)
[ In the cafeteria sometime later, Dean is scouting out anybody who looks like they could throw a decent punch. Why? To fight them, of course.
Now, he's not going to go right up to somebody and just sock 'em one. Come on, he's not stupid. No, he's going to try to antagonize them into punching him, instead.
Look, alright, it's worked before. ...Except the other guy ended up dead. It's a long story. Anyway.
You can find Dean staring at you if you're the kind of type who looks rough and tumble and easily angered. Or you might find him eyeing up the big burly-looking guy in the corner in a completely no-homo kind of way. You might also observe his fine table manners, as while he's doing his "sizing up" of the room, he's also shoving food in his face and chewing with his mouth open, because damn, you get hungry after puking as much as he has in the past two days.
Or you might find Dean getting the crap beaten out of him by someone twice his size (which is saying a lot; he's not a small guy). You might want to help him, if you're the helpful kind of person, because the non-existent authorities sure aren't going to step in, and somebody should. Or you might find him after nobody did step in to help him because, let's be real, he deserves the black eye and busted lip and bruised kidney he gets. Just don't expect him to apologize if he got any blood on you. A little blood's not going to kill you, and everybody knows a blood splatter always makes for good TV. ]

action- a
Hey, open that back up, I wanna get a look. It's been a while since I had something like that to study.
no subject
Yeah, sure.
[ He's faster about it this time, able to pop the panel right off and sets is against the wall next to the opening. He keeps out of the way of her view, but he does look over at the machines inside again. They don't make any more sense to him than the first time, either. ]
You know something about this kind of thing?
no subject
They're a lot more complex than your normal car or truck. [Moonbay's staring pretty intently at the parts, moving around to try and get a different angle.]
Hot damn, this is beautiful. Weird and mostly out of my expertise, but beautiful.
[She takes a step back and shakes her head.] Looks like we're stuck for now.
no subject
I wouldn't say that. This is a dead end, sure. But we'll find some way out.
[ You're not stuck until you stop trying, as far as Dean's concerned. Maybe not this way, but he's not out of ideas yet. Anyway, it's nothing she needs to get involved in, if she can't help here. ]
I'm Dean. Good to meet you.
You said you fix transport vehicles. What do they transport?
no subject
She glances over with a shrug.] Sure. I didn't mean giving up entirely.
[A grin appears, and she holds out a hand.]
Name's Moonbay. And, oh, plenty of things. People, parts, explosives, food, you know. The normal stuff.
no subject
And he can't say he'd classify transporting both people and explosives as normal, but hey. Could be worse things. ]
Nice. Explosives, food... I like it. We must be talking some pretty heavy duty vehicles you work on. How many wheels are we talking?
[ Gotta be trucks she fixes, right? ]
no subject
She looks him over once to get a feel for him-- Well, he did ask.]
Four or more, but most have legs. Some have wings. I mostly piloted mine, so I had to know how to fix him up on my own.
[It's so run of the mill for her, Moonbay decides to just wait until he asks for clarification.]
no subject
[ Thanks, Moonbay, for that mental image of a truck with legs and wings. It's not a pretty picture, and Dean blinks confusedly through it. ]
Whoa, hang on a second. Pilot? You're telling me you pilot a, uh... A what? A transformer?
no subject
No, I pilot things called Zoids. [She heaves a sigh. This explanation is always fun.] They're giant metal creatures that are shaped like different animals. Wolves, tigers, whales, birds-- you get the idea. Mine's an insectoid, hence the wheels.
[After another moment:] And yes, they're alive.
no subject
Dude... You actually pilot a transformer.
That's awesome.
[ Excuse him while he fanboys hard. If only she'd brought one with her... Damn, he'd love to see one for real. Like all of his ten year old fantasies coming to life. If only he'd got thrown into that universe instead of this one... But hey, meeting someone from it's not bad. ]
no subject
[She really can't deny not piloting one when she has no idea what they are.]
