Ship Shuffle

[scalpelofmarmora]

Who: Ulaz and open-ish!
Broadcast: Yes, to the SS Caprine only
Action: SS Blameless crew or anyone who may be there
When: now-ish

Broadcast to the SS Caprine
I have appreciated having you as compatriots since I first arrived. Current circumstances have required me to move to another ship however. There was no option not to transfer.

In light of the fact that my move has left the Caprine without lab support, I am offering to assist the Caprine in this regard until the ship gains medical support of their own. If you need me for any reason, you can contact me or I'll be on the Blameless now.

Action - SS Blameless
[New ship, only slightly different. The basic design wasn't too different from the SS Caprine. However, there were things about it that were different. It had been customized by a different crew than the Caprine had had.

So this called for investigation! After going to the lab at the back of ship and looking it over to make sure everything was in order, he headed out into the corridor to explore the ship. Especially if he was going to be the First Mate of the Blameless, he needed to know where everything was.

He's just wandering the public areas of the ship. Maybe he'll run into one of the crew at some point]

[Where is one likely to find Sandalio? Why, making tea! He's actually rather horrified that tea isn't made more regularly here so he's started doing that himself. He also seems to be taking notes of some kind but he does stop when he sees Ulaz, offering him a smile and a nod of his head.]

Good evening. May I offer you a cup of tea, Officer?

[scalpelofmarmora]

[In the course of his exploration of the ship, Ulaz came across the kitchen. This one... was definitely more upgraded than the Caprine. He is going to have to spend more time looking around in here because he's a little distracted now by the other person with him]

I would like one. Thank you. It is not required to refer to me by a title.

[In case he thought he had to]

[dandyofawolf]

You are meant to be a superior officer to myself aboard this ship, Officer. It is really only appropriate and polite that I should address you as such since we don't know each other well.

[Pouring a second cup of tea, he gets some lemon and milk and honey onto a little tray as well before setting these on the table. This way the other can prepare his tea how he likes as they both enjoy a cup.]

Welcome aboard, by the way. It is good to have you here.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I can't disagree with that. If that is that is what you want to call me.

[Ulaz wasn't going to require it, but if he felt he had to, there was no point in objecting. That was his rank after all as Shiro had requested.

Ulaz followed him over to table, sitting down. This new version of a hot beverage was starting to grow on him. As as experimenting with ways to take it. He found he liked it with this yellow fruit called a lemon...]

Thank you. As much as I will miss the Caprine, this is where I'm supposed to be.

[crow_dad]

This father wishes you well in your new location. I must also thank you for your extension of kindness towards us until we may find new lab support.

Video

[scalpelofmarmora]

It is only right that I offer. If something should happen it is better to have the support and the thought to change ships hadn't come up until this.

[aka he felt bad for leaving the Caprine without a potentially vital position]

Video

[crow_dad]

There is no need to feel such regret for your decision. Your place was where you were called to. I look forward to seeing your growth in that place.

[Because clearly if one is needed somewhere so badly they have to leave another place then that is where they belong and are meant to be.]

Video

[scalpelofmarmora]

I don't regret it because it is important that I am here, but it does take away the lab. Still thank you. And the best to you on the Caprine.

[Even though it really is just one ship away...]

action;

[sylphid]

[If Ulaz decides to explore the cargo bay in all it's glory, he'll eventually run into one small, silver haired teenager simply lounging in one of the hidden compartments, eating a bag of potato chips.

Why...?]

action;

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz did choose to explore the cargo bay. He didn't necessarily see the teen immediately, but he could hear the crunching of potato chips. This did require investigation and he had did find the teen there.

Yes, the questions was why]

Hello?

[sylphid]

[Fie turns her head to look at the giant purple... elf cat? She blinks impassively, still chewing.]

Hi.

[Talking with her mouth full. Nice.]

action;

[scalpelofmarmora]

[... lovely]

What are you doing back there?

[dreamvour]

We appreciate your continued support, Ulaz. You're always welcome here.

video;

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. It is only right since I left without someone being there to keep to lab on the Caprine.

[He hadn't want to leave them in the lurch since they had been so accepting of him]

video;

[dreamvour]

You needn't worry too much. Hopefully we won't need the lab until someone is shuffled to us with the lab support augment. [a small shrug] Even if that's a bit optimistic.

video;

[scalpelofmarmora]

Hopefully not. There seem to have been more arrivals recently so hopefully it won't be long. However, if it is needed, I will assist.

Action

[whatisright]

[Justice has chosen to stop staying unseen in the ship, which means when the new crew member comes to the armory, Justice is servicing weapons. He's just taking them apart, cleaning them, making sure everything is in order so that they will operate perfectly for whoever needs to use them next.

His feline companion, Loyalty, immediately goes to investigate the new person, curiously sniffing at Ulaz. Justice looks up from his work, his brow creasing.]

Who are you?

[Some may call it rude to ask that without any kind of preamble, but Justice is not the person you go to for impeccable manners.]

Action

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Yep, the armory was on Ulaz's list of places to visit on the ship. So he pretty much just walked in, not really expecting anyone to be in there. Well, the security officer being in there was not a surprise because he needed to do his work.

Ulaz looked down at the tiny creature that came walking over to him. Cat. He crouched down, offering his hand to the feline. While he didn't have a pet, he understood their purpose.

Then he looked up at Justice]

I am Ulaz, the new lab support technician. You are?

[whatisright]

I maintain the armory. [Atroma calls him the security officer, but the title is mostly meaningless to Justice. He doesn't really recognize his role in any given ship as official; he just maintains the armory because he knows how to do it and he likes being useful.]

I have no name, but you may call me Justice. Are you new to the Fleet, or simply to the ship?

[vartex]

[A heavy, repetitive thumping noise is audible when Ulaz reaches the cargo hold. Messer's making good use of the punching bag hanging from the ceiling in a corner, sufficient space left around it for easy movement, the location obviously meant for where physical activity and workout sessions take place onboard. He's attacking it in a predictable pattern- a series of quick, heavy jabs, focusing on different areas of the bag, then a pause of at least 5 seconds to stretch his fists and steady his breathing, before repeating the whole process. He's focused and silent, the only sound in the area being the point of impact.

If Ulaz has really good hearing, if he comes closer he might catch the quiet beat of a song coming from a small attachment in Messer's ear.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz could definitely hear the thumping as he walked into the cargo hold. He had made his way over to the source of the sound, it having been unusual from something he'd heard on the Caprine.

And that would be why. The Caprine hadn't had a punching bag. He paused some distance away, observing the other's fighting style. It was much more crude than the way the Blades generally fought, but it did have its merits.

During the pauses from hitting the bag, he could faintly hear the beat from what he was listening to though he couldn't place the exact location of the beat. It was too low, but he could hear it.

He didn't speak for the moment, waiting for either a significant pause or to be noticed. Not like he was hard to miss really... he was pretty tall]

[vartex]

[Definitely hard to miss, which is why Messer pauses at the end of his next set of punches, taking a step back and flexing his palms to release the tension. He lifts a hand to his wrist, touching a silver bracelet, and the beat of the music stops abruptly.]

Can I help you?

[His tone is polite but brisk; he doesn't know you, and therefore doesn't trust you, but hey! Could be new crew, so let's not fight just yet.]

voice;

[straightouttacarbonite]

Why, what happened? Do we snore? I'm pretty sure I don't snore.

voice;

[scalpelofmarmora]

It has nothing to do with that. My friend on the Blameless needed me here.

voice;

[straightouttacarbonite]

Well that's a lot less dramatic. But I get it.
