Who: Ulaz and You! Mostly open, one closed
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Blameless and Iskaulit
When: Not too long after coming out of calibrations

So it seems that not everything is as it was when we went into the calibrations. Of course we have added crew members to various ships and I would like to welcome them.

It is also regrettable that the Blameless has lost their previous captain as I have been promoted to the position. I hope though that he is well.

Action - Open
[For the first part after returning, Ulaz spends a great deal of time on the Blameless almost as if nothing has happened, taking over the captain's positions. But his crew will notice that at least initially, he is spending more time sitting in the dining room.

It is also likely that on the first evening, the crew and anyone who might be visiting will notice a random bottle of beer sitting in front of the door to the captain's room. It's full and unopened and just... there. If it gets removed, eventually another will appear in its place later in the evening.

The second day, the one that was there last is removed by Ulaz and another one doesn't replace it.

During this time, he can also be found on the Iskaulit as well, doing his usual training.

Action - Closed to Biffy
[The first evening, as soon as the sun has properly set and it has been given at least what he considers a decent amount of time, Ulaz heads to Biffy and Lyall's room. He pauses at the door for a moment and then knocks]

Perhaps in the smaller areas? That way we can be sure that nothing has been altered there since Lyall and I often using them during our transformations. If you give me a moment, I can change to make sure I can properly get into those areas.

[Change meaning he needs to get naked.]

That is a good. The smaller areas are more likely to hide changes.

Of course, you can certainly do that.

[And if Biffy starts to take off his jacket, Ulaz will turn his back to give Biffy that privacy]

[Clothes folded there's the brief sound of breaking bones before a chocolate wolf trots past Ulaz to go looking through all the small areas. He sniffs to make sure nothing has changed and noses at any boxes before moving onto the next.

It's good to have a wolf dandy for a First Mate apparently. Very efficient.]

[Ulaz politely kept looking elsewhere as Biffy changed into a wolf. Once he emerged from behind him in wolf form, Ulaz began to resume his examination of the cargo bay. He does agree that it is very efficient having a wolf for a First Mate. He's certainly not going to complain. He appreciates it]

[Like this he's able to check things quickly and efficiently. None of the little hideaways are left untouched and when he's done, he trots over to Ulaz. Waiting until he has his attention, he sits. And as soon as he looks his way? A nod.

Everything is as it should be.]

[As Ulaz is searching, he periodically glances back at the wolf that is looking through the cargo bay as well. Since he is not ignoring Biffy's efforts, he does hear when the wolf comes over to him and looks down at him. And he nods]

That is good news. I suppose it is the best that we can hope for at the moment.

[He gives him a little chuff sound to let him know that he agrees. Everything is as it should be. Or as much as it can be considering they've lost important friends here.

So, he shifts back to his human form and goes to start putting his clothes on again.]

I look forward to being your First Mate, Ulaz. It's always good to work with someone who knows what he's doing.

[And Ulaz turns to give Biffy privacy as he begins to change back into his human form, less because of watching the change (he was actually kind of curious about that), but more because he will have no clothes on once he does]

The same can be said to you. You certainly know what you are doing.

I was actually a Beta for around twenty years before I was an Alpha. I learned a great deal during that time.

Then I have an experienced First Mate then. That is very good.

[He smiles. Not that he was going to object to an inexperienced First Mate. More just a musing]
