ensign mal courfeyrac | red shirt

[debonairs]

[ He was totally going to be a lawyer on Earth. That was the plan. But then this happened and he was already fluent in the Romance languages, plus Latin, plus a plethora of alien languages.

Let all the ladies know that Ensign Courfeyrac has a talented tongue.

Anyway, here he is, hanging out because he's obviously not needed on the bridge. ]

[larks]

I am hiding a little bit.

[ She doesn't like to admit it, but that's the truth. Ariel isn't the only one who runs when she's feeling off. Cosette moves around the table and folds her arms over the front of her lab coat, goggles already pushed over her forehead. ]

What is happening out there?

[hushful]

Absolutely nothing.

[ ariel rolls her eyes and tries not to slump.

she fails, and totally slumps against the wall and sighs. a lack of productivity, she'd expected. but there's also the adventure she'd expected, and not these long rounds of boredom. ]

Kinda wish we'd float into a black hole or something.

[coronaries]

What, you're all waiting to have a spin in my chair? Booting me out? Relax, Lieutenant.

[pastless]

When he's supposed to be working?

[ oh vicki, honey. she hasn't figured out how people operate on a ship like this just yet. she might be the tiniest bit new. the novelty of floating around in space is quickly wearing off, but vicki's not terribly anxious to find out what happens when cabin fever sets in. ]

[coops]

[He considers this for a moment.]

Huh.

[Grin.]

Not a bad idea, Lieutenant! Sounds wonderful to me.

[stenopool]

[ There is a wan smile offered for her troubles. She was once like you, Vicki. And a part of her is still fairly green, Peggy's got the jaded thing down pat. ]

When he feels like it. If you need business taken care of, ask for Lieutenant Commander Holloway.

[stenopool]

Oh, I do not want your job.

[ Yet. ]

The bridge needs its Captain. Rules are rules, even on this ship.

[larks]

[ Gasp! ] Ariel, don't say that! I would hate to be pulled into an alternate time line.

[ Cosette frowns and pulls down the hose from the center console to water some foreign fauna. ] That is simply messy business and I don't think any of us would be prepared for that kind of thing.

[pastless]

Thank you.

[ why can't things just be easy the first time. this is silly. they're silly. ]

I don't suppose there's any chance we can overrule him? Have someone take his place.

[ not appropriate talk, but hey. it's a joke. evidenced by the grin she dissolves into. ]

[coronaries]

It's my ship.

I'll get there when I get there. You all can manage.

[hushful]

But it would be exciting.

[ that's really all she cares about right now. it's not like a fight's broken out in the corridors to distract her from this lull in entertainment. ]

We might even come back out again, who knows!

[larks]

It would not be exciting, it would be awful and terrible.

[ The frown turns into a scowl. ]

We would find ourselves in the middle of a war, or behind enemy lines.

[stenopool]

Uh-huh. I'm going to tell Joan on you.

[stenopool]

[ Peggy rolls her eyes, returning Vicki's grin with one of her own, just before tapping a few buttons along her console. ]

Get him emotionally compromised, 'cause you know if we're needed on another planet, he'd send someone else out before he'd go out himself.

[hushful]

Not necessarily.

[ how did ariel even get on this ship is the question. timelines? science? i don't - ]

Nobody knows whether or not it'd be bad.

[coronaries]

Is that supposed to be a threat?

[pastless]

I suppose it's a good thing we aren't, then.

[ it isn't often that vicki scowls, but this is as close as it comes to happening. she's just going to be the captain herself okay she'd be better at it. ]

[larks]

But who is to say that it will be good?

I would rather not meddle in the affairs of the timestream and black holes. There's so much unexplored universe here anyhow.

[boomsticking]

[It's probably because Ash is in engineering. It's a super-cool profession Mia, okay? Ash happens to be walking in with too much data on his transponder trying to make it all work.]

Hey, newbie.
