First Flight [Video]

[hot4engines]

Who: Kaylee Frye and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Golden
When: September 16th

[The face that appears onscreen might be familiar to some Fleet members- except her hair is brown to Jennifer's blonde, and this gal definitely has a different accent. Also, she looks pretty crabby.]

Okay. So. I barely wake up in bed on this strange ship afore I appear on another one, and all I get for my troubles is a cup of pudding? No "hello, here's a recording explaining everything"? A nice dinner, maybe? 'least it tastes like actual chocolate... [She sighs, then softens up.] I been watching the network a bit, so I'm just gonna skip the part where I demand to be taken home. So, uh, I guess I'll just say hello. I'm Kaylee, I love ships n' engines, so at least I'll feel a little at home here, but other than that, I ain't quite sure what's going on.

ACTION - SS Golden

[As she waits for responses, Kaylee can be found exploring her new home, poking at the various bits of protein available in the kitchen, looking around her new quarters, but she spends the most time in the engine room, enthralled.]

Is that it? [Sorey straightens up to let her out.] Could you see where? Was it in the same line as where it's catching, or further up?

[hot4engines]

[Kaylee nodded in response to his first question.]

Same line, so it won't take much effort to fix. Saw it plain as the nose in front of my face. Ah, even though I ain't home, I've still got it. [She grinned as she began digging out a few tools and parts she would need.]

[monolike]

Wow...you're seriously amazing, Kaylee. I've been trying to figure out that thing for weeks and you just took one look at it and found it right away.

[hot4engines]

Well, thankya for saying so! I've always had a way about ships, ever since I was a little one. It's kinda like they talk to me, and when something ain't right... I hone in on it.

[monolike]

[Sorey rolls the tool chest closer as Kaylee returns to the innards of the ship, crouching near the hatch so he can hand her anything she might need.] So you grew up around this sort of thing, huh?

[hot4engines]

[And she easily continues the conversation as she works, able to focused on both at once.]

Uh-huh. I worked for my daddy most of my life, til I met Mal- he's my cap'n back home- and he hired me to live on his ship and keep her flying. It was just about the best thing I coulda asked for.

[monolike]

Wow, so right from home into an adventure? That's pretty cool. [Sorey knows what that's like.]

[hot4engines]

Oh, we had plenty of adventures back home, too. We transported cargo, though not always, uh, the type the Alliance would approve of, if you catch my drift.

[monolike]

Oh, like smuggling! [not subtle, this one] What kind of cargo was it?

[hot4engines]

Anything anybody asked us to carry. Usually we didn't ask too many questions... cap'n just wanted to get paid. Why, we once had a whole herd of cows in the cargo bay.

[monolike]

Whoa! That must've been noisy.

But you've never smuggled anything bad, right? [sorey you can't just ask a smuggler if they did something bad]

[hot4engines]

And smelly. Ain't a whole lot of places you can dump cow poop off when you're cruisin' place to place... but the money was good, at least.

Oh, shoot no. We wanted to stay away from the law as much as we could.
