"Considering their research supplies are related to strengthening their defences against Ghiak Feith technology? Yeah, I'd say they'd better be ready to deal, or lose out to someone else who might want this shit," Jaden answers. She sounds almost bored, but the confidence is clear in her voice. "'S kinda funny really. They spend so much time pretending the Great War didn't happen, but they get excited over any Feith technology they come across."

She snorts, leaning back in the chair to look up at him. "If they wanna endanger their supplies, that's up to them. I trust you can jump us away from any friends they might invite to the party?"

" Sounds just like 'em. Pricks can pretend all they want, ain't gonna change reality whatever they charge us with. " Booker idly scratched his cheek, his eyes meeting the captain's as she leaned back into his chair. At her question it was his turn to snort, his face the vision of confidence. " Just who the hell d'ya think you're talking to, cap'n? If I can't get us away from any uninvited guests, I'd give up my high hopes fer' you an' Kit-Kat. And you know that ain't happening!

Jaden's eyebrow rises at his retort. "Right." She sounds faintly unimpressed. "Well, when you're done dreaming, I hope you're ready to move swiftly if the plan changes. Until then, guess we're waiting on them to quit panicking and actually respond to us."

She exhales sharply. "Might take some time."

" If I were dreaming that fight woulda taken a real different turn, " Booker chuckled out, clearly unperturbed by the captain's dismissal. It was far from the first time after all. " I'll be ready whatever happens cap'n, always have been an' always will be - can't have you thinking less of me now can I? "

He idly pointed down at the seat she had so rudely stolen from him, the customized piloting chair he'd long since made his own, with the greatest of comfort and usability in mind. More features than some sections of the ship combined. " A'course, I'll be all the more ready when I've got my chair back - that right there is where I work, play and sleep, how's a guy gonna do any of that when such fine ass is taking it away? "

If there was anything the crew could always be certain of, it was that Booker was always going to be Booker.

A look of disgust soon appears on Jaden's face as she looks down at the chair she sits on. Gingerly, she removes herself from it and stands. "You sleep in it as well? Ugh," she mutters, shaking her head. "Remind me to shower. Who knows when it's been last cleaned..."

Without missing a beat the hapless pilot swivelled the chair around and sat himself upon it, twirling further to once again see Jaden with a simple grin.

" And that, cap'n, is how a fella gets his chair back - I tricked this thing out real well, but it ain't ever replacing a good bed, " He said, pleased to be back where he belonged. He lounged upon it freely, his hands gesturing to the near-immaculate surface of the construction. " It's a damn marvel cap'n, even self-cleans. Ain't no better chair in all the galaxy! "

"I'm still taking a shower. Who knows what weird crap you've been getting up to in that chair?" Jaden retorts, running her fingers through her hair in a weary manner. "Just try not to let us crash."

She turns and begins heading out of the cockpit, shaking her head slowly to herself. "Damn moron..." She mutters under her breath as she makes for her own quarters.

Ah. Gravity off with one of those strange human tunes playing in the background. The first time something like this had happened had been cause for alarm, but now...well, the fact the Nyx was floating next to the wall with his eyes closed basically said it all. One learned to relax when something like this took over, and cracking an eye open and watching other crew members struggling with it was also fun to see.

It wasn’t like he had anywhere to go; his job wasn’t exactly relevant when they weren’t in danger. Besides, he had just finished augmenting the his blaster scope - for better or worse, he never could tell, and neither could anyone else since he never seemed to stop - and that meant it was time to wait around until there was something else to do. Strolling around the ship wasn’t bad, although by this point he had already memorized the layout and people that frequented each area. It wasn’t needed anymore, but old habits die hard, as the human saying went.

Life on the ship had taken a bit to get used to, as life in the seedy underbelly of a planet tended to make one dislike smaller areas such as a ship. The people also hadn’t exactly wanted him there at first, either, and he was pretty sure there were still some that felt that way. That was more normal than most would expect, though, since he had really never been wanted much of anywhere. All that really mattered was finding a way to stick around.

Cracking his eyes open once again as the small hum marking the return of gravity started coming back, Nyx pushed himself off from the wall, straightening out so that when it re-activated he had to do little more than land on his feet. That was something he had found that most of the humans here could not do nearly as well as he could, as if they were missing a reflex of some kind.

It was unfortunate, though; such a diversion would have been fun to keep up a little longer, since now he was back to meandering.
Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

" Nothin' you ain't used to by now, cap'n! " Booker called after her with a laugh, his infamously wandering eyes following Jaden's departure, appreciating the fine form of his boss until she was gone from sight. The pilot let out a sigh, half disappointment and half amusement, turning back to his battle station to make some minor adjustments to their standby situation - a shift here and there to better provide a quick escape should problems come flying in.

He began to whistle a light tune as he went over some of the system diagnostics - making sure everything was responding loud and clear, the convenient light-up display featuring the ship was all green, so nothing to worry about. Booker tended to be one of the first to know if something was busted onboard, since being the ship pilot he was the one who'd have to adjust his course based on certain features not working or damages that would hamper the Star's maneuverability.

For now, everything was in great shape - the perfect state for business as usual.

Name: Nyam
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Race: Kathiss

Appearance: Nyam is five foot one, and decked. Her fur-tone is a bland grey that helps her blend in with metallic surroundings. Her head hair is shaved to a buzzcut and her ears tied back with a red band. Her eyes are a bright yellow, she has a small button nose and her top lip is split in the middle due to some old war scar.

Normal clothing: Nyam wears a sleeveless vest top, plain and grey, with camo pants again of greyish hues. She is always seen in her large, magnetising boots.

Armour: Nyam is a military pointman and comes in heavily armed and armoured. Advanced plate is worn about her shoulders covering her down to her ribs, and pseudo-gauntlets shield her hands from any damage that would try to neutralise her ability to fire back. Nyam's armour has attached to its back the power battery for her military shield, and she wields an advanced blaster rifle with a much larger muzzle that functions as a light machine gun - a lot of firepower that is basically useless outside of short range incursions and meant more for suppressing fire than actual gun-to-gun combat. It has a motion sensor attached that works within 25m. And a blaster pistol for emergencies.

Skills: Trigger discipline, area sweeping, loud distractions

Job: Carpenter (Unlike the engineers who deal with technical faults, Nyam focuses on hull breaches after combat and general maintenance of walls, corridors, and anything not considered essential circuitry)

Short history: Too brutish to be loved by her family, Nyam turned to military service as an outlet for her fury. A stand-offish figure, Nyam never had much respect for authority - but is deadly loyal to the captain who led the Autumn Star to victory. Only a low ranking grunt during the Great War, Nyam has stuck with the captain when others defected as honour matters more to her than any form of credibility.

Other: Sparkly Dice
