Collecting Crew [2430-1-2-Mon-7:30pm]

[Booker]

Booker wasn't that mad at Solomon for finding out he did something in his past to get a bounty on his head. As long as he wasn't doing anything illegal now, it was fine. He wouldn't want to leave ever, if it meant he'd never see these new friends again. No. Leaving was not an option that would ever cross his mind. Unless they started to get into criminal ways.

"I'm stayin' right here," He said aloud, "Doctor Booker ain't goin' no where, baby!"

[Caden Breese]

Caden didn't see a problem with it. He had a bit of a record himself. Besides an aimless ship was better than doing nothing or getting into more trouble back on Terra. Naw he was fine with the whole situation.

"Some people set out bounties for stupid grudges, or for just stupid reasons in general, I'm sure what ever it is you did wasn't that big of a deal or people would still be searching for you," Caden added.

[Nick Blaine]

Blaine heard what Solomon had to say. Nodding the whole time. Antheia was a nice place. He'd ot been there in a while. It'd be good to go back. Then he mentioned Olive's family. Olive must have stowed away on his shuttle. Sneaky little thing.

Nick agreed with Booker and Caden. "I ain't leaving either." He had probably done worse things than Solomon had back in the day. He was just lucky enough to not get into too mush trouble that caused a bounty on his head. "I'm lookin' forward to flying this thing where ever you wanted me to. As long as I get paid, I'm staying put."

He started to wonder what Solomon had done. He didn't seem like someone who would intentionally do any crimes. Maybe he accidentally did something he wasn't proud of. He could relate to that.

[Solomon Taylor]

Sol nodded, happy they all seemed okay with what he'd laid out. "Alright. Welcome to the ship, everyone." He pointed at Olive. "Make sure you put them all in as hired. I showed you how to do that, right?"

"Okay, so, I showed you guys where the crew quarters were the other night. Olive's got a room set up for herself on the passenger's side, so don't worry about disturbing her. Blaine, you know where your room is. Booker feel free to go pick one in the crew quarters."

"Caden," he glanced over at the mechanic. "You get a choice too... you can pick a room in the crew quarters as well, or you can set up down in the east engine room. There's sort of a workshop area in there you can use, so if you'd like you can convert it into your quarters as well so that that whole space is yours. As a mechanic I know how handy it might be to be right by your work domain for easy access. So... your choice."

[Caden Breese]

Crew quarters would be nice, but he did like being close to his work. "Engine area sounds good. That way I'm also on hand if something happens," He stated. It wouldn't take much to set up a simple area good enough to live in. He didn't need much, a bed, a work space, everything else seemed to be in the rest of the ship. He just needed to see the rest of the ship.

This would be an adventure and a half. He wondered what his brother was up to and if he should call him to tell him he's leaving for who knows how long.

[Olive]

"I think so!" Olive replied to Sol's question. She scanned the eInkr padd for the option. "Ummm..." She knew she would find it. She just needed time. She decided to sneak off to her room and figure it out so she wasn't in the way, and Sol wouldn't see her trying to figure it out.

She headed down the hallway and turned left towards the passenger dorms where she wandered into the one Sol said she could have. She plopped herself down onto the bunk and curled up with the padd, wondering what else it could do. She saw lots of Humans with them, and it seemed to be their connection to everything. Maybe with a little investigating she could figure it out.

[Booker]

Booker like that he could choose his own room, even if they all looked exactly the same. He walked over to observe the crew quarters. He thought about it for a minute. He decided to take the one closest to the hall way to the medical room. He placed his belongings in the room. He jumped onto the bed and got comfortable. The bed was pretty good. He could pretty much sleep anywhere so it didn't matter much to him how soft the bed was.

After observing his new room, he returned to the kitchen. Olive had left to her room in the passenger quarters. He walked over to her room and looked in the door. "Hey, Olive," he greeted, "What'cha doin'?"

[Nick Blaine]

Blaine traveled to his room. He had forgotten that he got this room away from the crew quarters. It wasn't that much bigger but it still seemed like a more important room. He took his his clothes out of the two small bags and put them in the overhead storage compartments. He placed his un case beside the bed.

He walked into the cockpit and sat down in the pilot's chair. His chair. He observed all the buttons and blinking lights. This was a surprisingly complicated dashboard for a ship like this. He gripped the yoke, steered it in different directions. Blaine loved to just sit at the pilot's chair and think.

[Solomon Taylor]

"Alright," he waved Caden after him as he walked back down the hall. "I'll show you where you can make the place your own."

He headed out onto the iron walkway again. He paused at the other end, pointing to the door there. "That leads you into the central engine room, which you can also access from the main floor." He pointed at the walkways going in either direction. "Those take you to some small corridors where you can either use a ladder to get down to the secondary tech and engine rooms, or there are connecting doors into the dorms on either side. It's easy to figure out once you see it, so I'll let you do some exploring."

He waved him down the stairs to their left. "Alternatively, you can also get into the side engine rooms via handy doors," he joked as he led Caden through the doorway into the room filled with all sorts of inner workings to the ship. He motioned towards an open area with a work bench. "You can set up here if you like. We can work on installing a stationary bed for you, or if you prefer there's always the hammock option, I suppose."

[Olive]

Olive glanced up when Booker popped his head in. "Oh hi!!" she waved, sitting up. "I'm trying to figure this thingy out. I keep seeing people using them for all sortsa stuff. Like this one guy, I think he was listening to music with it! Isn't that crazy?? It's like there's little guys inside playing instruments or something!"

She paused and shook the padd for a minute, and then put it up to her ear. Nope, no one there yet. She glanced up at him again. "How do you work it? Sol only showed me how to move the pictures of you guys up and down so I could check if you were all here."

[Caden Breese]

Caden followed Solomon as he showed him the way to the engine rooms. Everything was in pretty good shape. He loved the design of the ship and could easily see himself staying on it for a long amount of time.

He liked the shop type area the one room had and wouldn't mind setting up a bed of some sort right there. He'd be close to his work and be able to have a bit more privacy from the rest of the crew. "Well if it's too much trouble to get a bed in here I'd survive on a hammock," he stated from experience. One ship he had worked on had hammock styled sleeping arrangements, so he was used to it and easily get a good amount of sleep on one if he had to.

[Booker]

Booker laughed at what Olive had said. She was cute. Something about the curiousness of the Faun made Booker happy. "I've got one of those but I only know basic stuff about it." He replied. "So I probably won't be of much help.

He suddenly remembered that Olive wasn't human again. He hadn't noticed much of a difference between Humans and Fauns. Besides the goat legs, ears, and all. He decided to leave her to her studying of the padd. He didn't like disturbing people too much he just wanted to say hello one more time to Olive. He knew the two would get along quite well.

Now, if he only felt that way about Caden. He left her room and walked down tha hallway to his room around the corner. Caden probably wasn't a bad guy, he just needed to clean up. Quit smoking was all that man needed to be a good person in Booker's books.

Once he got to his room, he closed the door and decided to go to bed early. He needed some sleep to get ready for the flight tomorrow. He'd never been out of Terra so he didn't know how his body would handle it. His eyes slowly drooped as he fell asleep

[Solomon Taylor]

"Well hang you up a hammock until we can get a bed properly installed," Sol agreed. "No wobbly cots on this ship."

He headed back out of the room and into the main cargo bay once more. He scanned the docks outside. It was getting dark, but the bustling busyness of the area still hadn't dissipated. It probably wouldn't. He assumed at this point that Quillan was not showing up, so he decided to close up the ship for the night, hitting the controls to lift the ramp and seal it off.

He took one last glance outside as the doors closed, and then he turned towards the stairs feeling quite content. The ship was crewed and they were off tomorrow after gathering a few more supplies. Next step... recovering his eInkr from Olive so that he could put out a message asking for passengers.
