First Breath Mingle!

[detectivewonder]

Who: The First Breath and Visitors!
Broadcast: None!
Action: On the First Breath!
When: Shuffle Day, in the evening!

[Two of the shuttles have been away, on the planet, and it's late on the day of the latest Shuffle when they dock back up, a solid half the crew re-embarking after a planetary visit to find their little aloof and uncomfortable family has expanded yet again. Tim comes to the bridge right away to double-check all ship's systems, just on general principles, but he invites anyone he sees along the way to come with him.]

Hey. Welcome aboard.

[ When Malak returns to the ship, he returns to the kitchen, too. It's more than a little depressing to go back to the protein cubes after real food on the ground, but he does it willingly enough. His experimentation has at least put him in the best position to give things flavor. So he can be found in the kitchen, testing out the tools and flavors that he doesn't know as well. There's always enough for everyone come mealtime, and there's usually leftovers chilled and ready to eat.

When he's waiting on something to cook, he sits at the table and works on an elaborate set of blueprints, or draws metalworks he might make.

He can also be found straightening up around the ship. Folding things, making beds, cleaning up, in between actually working on his job in the engine room. ]

[ Something... actually smells like food in the kitchen for once. (Steph is not a cook, here or at home. The best Steph can do is get the various solids and gels to approximate something vaguely palatable... and just barely that.)

She pokes her head in, and smiles a little when she sees it's someone she recognizes. Even if it is Mr. 'My Planet Is On Fire and That's Totally Normal'. He's weird, but he seemed nice enough. Spotting the blueprints, she tilts her head and walks over. ]

What's this for?

[treasureling]

Hello!

[ A smile; it's courteous, if a hint withdrawn. Malak is private, and cautious, and maybe a tiny bit tense. ]

It's - I thought I could build a forge using the heat from the ship's engines, instead of letting it all disperse into vacuum. It could be much more flexible than one planetside, and could be used to craft a number of metalworks, including replacement parts - [ he's probably too enthusiastic about this, she may not be interested ] - would you like something to eat?

[mysunnydisposition]

I'd love that, if you don't mind. [ She leans in to study the blueprints a little, since he seems to be interested in talking about it. ]

Huh. Well it definitely wouldn't hurt... Who knows if we can trust the fleet to fix itself if something breaks, right?

So are you an engineer or something where you come from, or is it your augment? ...or both, I guess.

[detectivewonder]

[There is absolutely no way Tim will not look over his shoulder to get a look at those blueprints, first and foremost.]

[treasureling]

[ There's a lot of scratchings out and erasures, but the basic idea looks like a way to take a strong source of heat and safely transfer it to a work space. It's a variation of a forge, but much more high-tech. ]

Hungry?

[ Malak doesn't make any attempt to hide it. He plans on starting to build it soon. ]

[detectivewonder]

Thanks, but I ate on the surface. We brought back a little, too, so you should have more to work with... although you probably don't want to cook it over that.

[treasureling]

Oh, it's not so bad. It heats much better than the microwave.

[ Single-burner stove!! How exciting!! ]

[detectivewonder]

Depends on the microwave.

[It didn't take long for him to find his way into the kitchen. Mostly because such spaces were familiar to him due to Masaomi, but also because wandering about would eventual lead him there. His lack of actual human manners also makes him just plonk down into the first available chair and give a wave and smile at the human moving about the area.

At least he's started to remember to tuck his tail in so people don't trip over it when he's sitting down now.]

Well it's nice to meet ya new shipmate? That's the word for it right?
