New Captain

[knowledgeordeath]

Broadcast: Yes
Action: Goldstone
When: After things have settled after Calibrations

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.]

Sounds more and more like we need a new meeting the captains since so much of us old guard got changed out.

Congratulations too, I suppose.

[knowledgeordeath]

It was necessary in order to ensure that these seats were filled. A meeting of the captains would be a sufficient way of ensuring we are all aware of what we are doing and what our goals are.

[universal_charm]

We’ve held them on the Iskaulit in the past - in whatever room is biggest and available to us for a sort of round table. We could probably manage it in one of the bars.

At the least it would be good to have everyone on the same page. We need a better battle plan for when we get attacked, in my opinion.

[knowledgeordeath]

Who is the most senior member of the captains?

[universal_charm]

Hmmm. Well - I think Kitty Pryde, if I remember right. I believe she and I are the most senior of the captains here within the Fleet now, but I can't recall which of us has been a captain longer though.

[knowledgeordeath]

Then it is likely up to the pair of you to organize this.

[Basically this is NOT HIS PROBLEM. You can deal with it.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He's getting that idea. ]}

Yes, well, consider yourself to have a pre-invitation to the roundtable when it happens. Forewarned is forearmed, time to prepare your questions, etcetera.

[knowledgeordeath]

Understood. Provide me with further information when it becomes available.

[universal_charm]

Uh, yeah, sure.

And if you have a first mate by then, bring them along too. And any sort of ideas you have for the Fleet. It's a collaborative, effort - or at least, I think they should be. We're all in this together, right?

[knowledgeordeath]

Perhaps.

[He is not fully agreeing to that. But that's because he doesn't trust everyone in the fleet. So there's that major factor.]

[universal_charm]

Tall, dark, handsome, and a man of few words, I see. Always need one on the team.

[knowledgeordeath]

[His eyes narrow a little.] Someone else has already expressed his interest in me. I will ask that you refrain from extending your own. If I decide to be with someone it will be him.

[universal_charm]

_{[ There is a long pause with an even longer blink, utterly taken aback. He broke it with a laugh lasting almost as long, though it wasn’t mocking - more surprised and amused at the situation. ]}

I mean, thanks for the heads up, but I wasn’t coming on to you.

Though if you’re wanting people not to flirt with you, except him, kind of sounds like you’ve already decided to be with him.

[knowledgeordeath]

The matter is under consideration presently.

[It sounds more like he's talking about matters of business rather than a relationship but that's Kolivan for you.]

[universal_charm]

What, like you're making a list of pros and cons? Who is it anyways?

[knowledgeordeath]

This is your business in what way?

[universal_charm]

You just seem on the fence. Perhaps I can offer some insight. I had had my fair share of relationships.

[knowledgeordeath]

In what way does this answer the question presented?

[universal_charm]

I'm offering insight, advice. Though frankly it already sounds like you've made up your mind, and just haven't made a move.

[knowledgeordeath]

Your insight and advice was not asked for in this moment.

[universal_charm]

No, but I am offering it.

[knowledgeordeath]

You appear to fail to understand that it isn't wanted.

[universal_charm]

Only double checking. And if you ever change your mind, my door is always open.

[knowledgeordeath]

That will not be necessary. I will not be coming to you for advice.
