Broadcast

[The frowning face of Kolivan appears on the screen. He looks generally unhappy but anyone who knows him is aware that this is literally just his default expression. There's nothing unusual to see here.]

It would appear that the captain of the Goldstone has departed this fleet. I am Kolivan, its new captain. Should you have questions then you can bring them to me.

[A pause and then...]

Members of my crew. I want reports for your stations by the end of the day. There is no First Mate on this ship so I will take them.

[And that's the end. He just ends the transmission there.]


Goldstone

[Kolivan can be found taking note of what the ship has and what it requires in terms of supplies. It's really impossible to miss him honestly. Being the towering figure he is and the way he needs to bend down to move through halls and doors... Well, it's basically not going to be hard to find him or run into him.

Just please don't do so literally. He's very solid and it will hurt.

But this is your new captain. Feel free to say hello.]

Comments

[samahl]

Oh, does this mean I get to call you Captain even if I'm not on your ship?

[knowledgeordeath]

...If you wish to. I am not your captain, of course.

[samahl]

Yes, but Captian has authority. It's sexy to say.

[knowledgeordeath]

You appear to find everything about me to be attractive. Does a title actually enhance this?

[samahl]

Oh yes, absolutely.

Enough to make me want to join the Goldstone, even if it means an increase of paperwork.

[knowledgeordeath]

[Cue that cute blinky face you love so much, Cyril.]

You wish to transfer to my ship?

[samahl]

[He meant it as a joke, but now that it's out there he realizes he would like that very much, actually.]

You don't have a pilot, do you? It makes sense. We already know we get along.

[knowledgeordeath]

[Kolivan doesn't understand jokes, Cyril. Never forget that.]

I do not have a pilot presently. Since that is your augment it would be useful to us and I am already aware that I can trust you.

[He nods.]

If you are willing then I do not mind you transferring to this ship. And you are welcome to call me captain as well.

[samahl]

There you go. I'll put in a request. Starduck has two, so I won't be leaving them lacking too much.

Except, of course, for my sparkling presence. But that I'd much rather give to you, Captain. [He says the title as suggestively as possible.]

[knowledgeordeath]

Given the fact that you are putting such effort into pursuing me, this will provide you easier access to my person.

[That's just him giving permission for it again since they'll be in closer quarters.]

[samahl]

Ooh, 'access to your person' sounds fun. [He is grateful for the constant establishment of consent Kolivan, you are the best.]

Do you get a bigger bed too? I was worried about your comfort.

[knowledgeordeath]

The bed is still not large enough for me. However, the room is bigger than before so there is room for a larger bed should I feel the need to replace it.

[This is Kolivan though. So he probably won't.]

[samahl]

Someone should give you a bed big enough for you as a gift.

[knowledgeordeath]

Why would someone do that?

[samahl]

Because they are worried about making sure the moments you allow yourself to rest are beneficial.

[knowledgeordeath]

I have been sitting when I sleep. It has been enough.

[He's so bad at this.]

[samahl]

I can't imagine that is good for your back.

[knowledgeordeath]

It has been necessary given my size.

[samahl]

Which is why the bigger bed.

[knowledgeordeath]

I have not seen such a thing available. I don't believe many are prepared for the size of the Galra.

[samahl]

I know. I'll have to hope for a good planet.

Oh, I mean, whoever buys you such a thing would have to hope for a good planet.

[knowledgeordeath]

[His eyes narrow suspiciously.]

Are you plotting to fetch me a bed, Cyril?

[samahl]

Perhaps? Would that bother you?

[knowledgeordeath]

[He has to really think about that. Would that bother him? Would it?]


...no.

[samahl]

I know you aren't a man overly concerned with your own comfort, so I'll worry about it for you.
