[Closed] Fuck this shit I'm out...

[padadin]

Who: Shiro + Thor, Ulaz, Baku, Makie
Broadcast: No.
Action: Yes.
When: Beginning of April.

1. Thor + Reactor building on the planet

[Shiro has always been the kind of guy that keeps himself busy, especially when there's stuff in his mind he's escaping from... like the bunker. Two steps in have been enough to know what's inside, and he leaves before a panic attack could be triggered - he does see in his mind some flashes of cells. He knows where things could be going.

This is awful, just awful. There are lots of things to be said and discussed, about terraforming and people playing god. But he doesn't want to think about that right now, he just wants to make things right. Remembering the deformed animals Ulaz saw and the conversation about radioactive energy that followed it, Shiro makes his way to the reactor building... only to find someone doing the same.]

I see I'm not the only one worried about that uncontrolled machine. Hey, Thor.

2. Ulaz + SS Caprine

[He's moving by instinct right now, his mind a blurry mess of emotions. This can't be happening, it just can't! Damn Atroma, damn their enjoyment of their drama, damn allowing himself to relax in here. He isn't sure how he gets to the pod or how he ends up on the Caprine really, he's on automatic - why the Caprine anyway?

As he slams open the lab door, face white and panting, it becomes easy to understand why. He can't drop the bomb on the team, not yet. Here's the only man that understands.]

Ulaz... [A pause. Deep breath.] ...she's here.

3. Baku + SS Caprine

[After the talk with Ulaz, Shiro is... okay, maybe not fine, but okay enough. He should feel bad for taking the Caprine's doctor to his ship, but he can't deny the comfort that Ulaz's presence brings him. Speaking of the Caprine... there's someone else here that he's fond of. Someone who has also offered help. Shiro stops in his tracks, hands closing in tight, trembling fists. He went to Ulaz for help... his team have been nagging him about it too for how long now?

The subject of his dreams is still delicate... but not more than Haggar. He needs to learn to reach out.

So here he's now, going from the way to the exit to the way to the rooms, and knocks on certain friend's door, nervous but determined.]

Baku? Do you have a minute?

4. Makie + SS Blameless (backdated)

[The sound of the confetti and the musical tune are very familiar by now - Shiro has been in the fleet for a year, and the Blameless changes crew members all the time. So he makes his way to the new arrival, welcoming smile on his face as always.]

New member, huh. Welcome to the SS Blameless. I'm Shiro, captain and pilot of this ship.

[Shiro isn't the only one concerned about the reactor, it's true. He's also not the only one rattled by what they found in the bunker. Thor isn't used to inaction, to dwelling on the past, only he finds himself circling back to it again and again in this place. Much as he's tried to keep moving and not allow himself time to think... it happened.

It lead him to the reactor, though it was only a half-conscious thought. He'd broken into the power plant only a few days ago and rifled through all the papers there. The bunker had seemed more important to check first-- but now he would rather turn his attention to an inanimate object than ones that used to be living.

Thor turns his head when he hears Shiro approaching, nodding in agreement.]

Shiro. Given all we've learned about it, concern is just the start. Who knows how long this has been running unchecked?

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz had already seen her, spoken with her, nearly been attacked by her when trying to put distance between them again. He knew Zarkon's witch was in the fleet. He had been trying to figure out a way to bring it up to Shiro since he knew her presence was not going to be a pleasant one for him.

Of course he didn't have a chance to do that because the lab door suddenly flew open with a bang. He turned back to the door, frowning when he saw Shiro. He didn't even need to know who the "she" was to know it was the witch]

I know. I've seen her.

[Ulaz crossed the distance over to the door and put his hand carefully on Shiro's shoulder]

Come in and we can close the door.

[Not everyone needed to hear about this]

[dreamvour]

[a few moments pass before the door opens, and Baku blinks slowly up at Shiro a few times before it registers that he's the one who knocked. She never expects visitors, at least not at her room - she usually catches people as they arrive, or as they go wandering through the ship]

Shiro. [she greets politely, head tilting as she studies his face. He looks . . . uncertain? Nervous? She's never been good at reading the intricacies in emotion, no matter how long she's spent watching] I do. Is everything all right?

[therewerefifty]

[Makie is making her way off the bridge, having talked to Messer (or...not talked, as the case may be, he's quieter than she is). She stops short as Shiro comes into view, eyebrows lifting slightly in surprise. He's Japanese. Or... well, looks it, at least. The Fleet is an odd place.

She bows to him, though she's tired enough it's more a respectful incline of her head.] Thank you... Captain Shiro. I am Otono-Tachibana Makie...

[She trails off, before smiling faintly.] I think... I'm still tactical support. I suppose that hasn't changed.
