New arrival Broadcast/action

[frellme]

Who: Aeryn Sun and you! Open!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: if your on the Marsiva
When: Wednesday night

[That wonderful open broadcast Marsiva offers will catch the newest shipmate as she wakes. And it is every bit as dramatic as could be hoped. She sat bolt up and rolled immediately out of the bunk she'd been resting in, coming to a crouch. with her back to the nearest wall.]

Zhaan? D'Ago? Crichton?

[She was dressed in a gray suit that looked quilted or insulated, white piping having a near glow to it. But the way she fussed at the high collar indicated she was not familiar with the garment.]

Where am I? What is this place? Chiana of you or Rygel have sold us out... [The near threat fell from her lips without conviction.]

You left behind family? [In essence she had as well, except she'd also died which meant they could go on at least after grieving and move on. It wasn't like just vanishing.]

[She nods.] My son. Wesley.

And my crew.... Well they are not biologically related, but they're still family.

[frellme]

I do not have children, but I understand how strangers can become family. When you travel with people and you learn to trust them with your safety and happiness they become more than shipmates.

[dancingmd]

That's exactly it.

[She gives Aeryn a small, sympathetic smile.]

For what little it's worth, I'm sorry that you've been separated from your crew as well.

[frellme]

I am sorry, but it is because of them and how they changed me that I can begin to survive here. If I was who I used to be I'd never be able to make it, but now...

I owe them everything, and even as I miss them, they will be with me.

[dancingmd]

No, they never do leave us, as long as we remember them.

My name is Beverly, by the way.

[frellme]

[Even for decades in a locket, they never leave. Aeryn nodded.]

It's good to meet you Beverly, I'm Aeryn Sun. The rest of what I used to be doesn't matter so much anymore.

[dancingmd]

None of it?

[... she can't help but be a little nosy, but she won't be pushy about it either.]

[frellme]

I was a Peacekeeper, a soldier. And then I was a fugitive. And then I was dead. Now I am here, hopefully better for all that has happened before. I am not who I was when I was a Peacekeeper, and I'm glad of that.

[dancingmd]

None of us are quite what we were before, I don't think. In any case, small comfort that it is, welcome to the fleet.

Re: video

[frellme]

Thank you Beverly, I appreciate the welcome. And the guidance.

[dancingmd]

You're welcome. And if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to call me.
