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.]

I have seen that, amongst some of the tribes of Men, but never understood it. Why would use of a blade make any difference?

There is an apparent dissonance between being a lady and being a soldier. It has never bothered me before, I don't put much on being a lady when I would much prefer being independant and self sufficient.

Well, so long as it does not bother you! But I confess it is an attitude strange to me. [ He murmurs thoughtfully ] One of the most skilled swordswomen I knew was my cousin Galadriel, and no one meeting her would ever call her anything less than a Lady!

Where I am from the title is more one of privledge than prowess. Most ladies I've seen were overly makeuped and useless. Sadly there are males who seem to like this, wanting to be some sort of hero.

I am not that way, nor could I be.

That is a pity, I think - there is no reason why both things cannot go hand in hand, after all! And I would have thought that a hero normally requires one to be more... proactive.

You would think, for my people being a hero was your duty and you did it without question. Though maybe not entirely so heroic. We did as was ordered and at the time I believed command knew what was best.

Heroism comes in many forms, I find - both in the obeying of orders as well as in the disobeying of them, at times. Heroes are only so in hindsight, often.

You would have liked some of the beings on Moya, they share the same idea.

Moya? Is that the name of your world or country?

video

[frellme]

Neither, Moya is the ship I live on, we live on.

Ah, like these ships then? I see why you said the situation seemed very familiar. What of your own world?
