(001) A Shuttle Ride To Regina

#1 Post by Eris »

For the last month, or is it two, you've been cooling your heels in the large facility orbiting one of the gas giants in the Regina system. Literally cooling your heels as you spent most of the time frozen solid in a low berth.

The Imperial Navy dropped you, and thousands of others like you, off here still frozen. They've been "thawing" everyone out in batches and demobilizing them. Each batch gets a day or two to get accustomed to being mobile again and learn the big news that they aren't going to be fighting a war, but they aren't getting a trip back home wither. Each of you former popsicles are getting release papers from the Navy, a jumpsuit, 2000 Imperial Credits and a boarding pass for a ride to Regina planetside.

"Good luck and thanks for your service!"

Your departure time is 0800 this morning, and you are advised to arrive, at least, an hour before that for "processing." As you walk from the dorms to the terminal you are joined by what must be 300 other men and woman all dressed the same, light grey jumpsuits with matching ball caps and leatherette boots. Some are carrying bags or duffles and a few have sidearms or blades at their waists.

The corridors are a neutral beige with sound deadening tiles on the floor that don't even echo the sounds of the many boots treading these halls. There is nervous low murmur from the host moving toward the terminal as the men and women speak to each other in voices barely above a whisper. Here and there louder voices can be heard, but it is clear that most are apprehensive and nervous.

Almost all of the now former service personnel are getting rides on one of the huge freighters that carry several hundred at a time, and there is one waiting in the Terminal, but when you arrive at the departure lounge you discover that your paperwork directs you to a room off to the side of the concourse to await boarding.

As you split off from the herd and walk across the concourse, you find yourself in a small group all heading for the same place, C14. It turns out that C14 is a door with a sign above it that says, "LSP Private Lounge."

Stepping through the door you look around and see a luxuriously appointed room with plush chairs grouped around real wooden tables. There is wood paneling on the walls and thick carpet covers the floor, computer terminals with privacy screens around them take up two walls of the room and a bar, complete with a barman occupies the third one wall. A closed air-tight hatch is in the center of the fourth wall with a sign above it that says, "Boarding." A middle aged woman wearing an LSP (Ling Standard Products) is seated behind a desk just inside the door.

"Good morning, Sophonts!" she greets you cheerfully, "May I see your boarding passes?"

Your adventures begin here! Talk to the woman, get a drink at the bar, get to know each other.

Donnie Boy

Hello Lovely! I got my boarding pass right here. Any chance one can grab a drink or two before I get on the tub that is going to be dropping us off down below?

What about you lot? Who wants to join me in adding a little extra anti-freeze to the blood stream? Anyone? Don't be shy now lads, we just spent who knows how long as a matched set of popsicles, I can guarantee that we've seen each others.....beg pardon ladies.....brain is still a little frosty.

As I was saying, it would be grand if we could get a little something to make the trip run a tad smoother. Never did trust a ship that I didn't know.

Pedro

He ducks by reflex walking though the door. Looks at the bar, and considers his eternal early morning pre-boarding question "Coffee or beer, beer or coffee?"

He notices the LSP lady "yes" rummaging in the chest pockets of his jumpsuit " I have it here somewhere..." He pulls it out and hands it to her. then wanders over to the bar, gets a bottle of some sort of beer, and looks around at his fellow demobs...

"Excellent, Mr. Lekal." she says as she hands your pass back to you, "The bar is open and breakfast is being catered, as well. You should have about 45 minutes before boarding."

After checking your boarding pass the woman hands it back to Pedro.

At the bar the man tending it offers you food as well as beer.

OOC: It *is* 0700, after all. ;)

Looking around the room, Pedro sees four men talking and drinking beers at a table, Marines by the look of them. A lone man is seated at a table with a drink and plate of food in front of him, he looks vaguely familiar. As he's musing what to do next he sees an attractive woman in Popsicle Gray walk in. She's also vaguely familiar.

Donnie Boy grabs a beverage and some breakfast at the bar. He then goes to a table and makes himself comfortable. He makes it clear that the rest of the table is open and welcome for anyone to come and sit, drink and talk.

He sets into the food with gusto and casually sips at the drink. He's got 45 minutes, no need to hit it too hard.

OOC: 07:00 only counts when you haven't been frozen for extended periods of time. :lol:

Zaki walks along with the crowd, scarcely noting their presence. Her right knee was still sore from the fall she'd taken in her quarters, and her body still ached from being in stasis. The fact that peace had broken out while she was in stasis was a huge relief. Being stationed aboard a warship, or in a war zone, wasn't something she had been looking forward to when she was sent out here. The last two days had been a blur of physical therapy, examinations, and gathering a few belongings. She glances down at her attire and sighs. At least they got her sizes right in the extruders this time.

She checks her holo display, shifts her backpack slightly to adjust one of the straps, and changes course to find C14. When she arrives, she approaches the agent and smiles enough to be considered polite. "Good morning." Zaki focuses on a spot on her visor's holographic screen to transfer her boarding pass to the agent's system.

Others in the room see a petite, slender woman with short, wavy blonde hair. Her dark skin and violet eyes mark her as being of Vilani descent. She wears a holo visor over her right eye, and has a bejeweled stud implanted between her eyebrows.

The waiting had been nearly intolerable; she had spent most of her time in the gym when she wasn't hiding in a remote corner of the station for a little privacy. Her roommates, a pair of technicians from somewhere rimward of her home, had spent most of their time in bed together. They hardly spoke to Zaki, and that was fine with her. She had finally gone to a therapist after a month of getting drunk every night, and the sessions had actually helped her.

"Oh, yes." the woman says noticing that the details of the boarding pass have been electronically transfered to her screen, "Good morning, Soph Shursiia. I have your details here. There will be approximately a 40 minute wait before boarding. Please, feel free to use the facilities. Drinks and food are available at the bar."

Zaki walks further inside and looks around. There are a half dozen people in the lounge dressed in Popsicle Gray jumpsuits like her and a man behind a bar on the left side of the room. Two of the
demobbed popsicles look vaguely familiar to her, she doesn't know them, but she thinks she's seen them around. A quick database check should turn up more information if she's interested.
One of them is seated at a table with a drink and plate of food and the other has just taken a beer bottle from the bartender. The other four former popsicles are grouped around a table drinking beers...Marines by the look of them.

Behind her a group of men are walking in and she is bumped from behind, "Sorry."says a gruff voice that doesn't sound like he means it.

Pedro and Donnie see an attractive woman of about 30 walk into the lounge. She's wearing some sort of visor over one eye. Both of them think she looks vaguely familiar. You've seen her here since being unfrozen, but you don't know her except to see her. As she looks around she is bumped from behind by a man in a group of six civilians coming through the door.

The attractive woman in the gray jumpsuit moves forward a bit and looks back to see a group of civilians coming in the door. There are two burly men wearing black jackets with obvious "bulges" where a should holster would be. One of them bumped into Zaki. Behind them is an older man and a young man carrying a briefcase. Bringing up the rear are another pair of burly men with the same obvious bulges.

The woman behind the table stands quickly and bows slightly to the older man who nods to her and continues into the lounge surrounded by what are obviously his four bodyguards. The young man takes out some paperwork and shows it to the lady in the LSP uniform who says something quietly to the ?aide?. He nods and shrugs his shoulders before striding over to the old man group who has taken up position at a table off to the side of the room.

"Forty minutes, Sir."he says to the older man who also shrugs and says,"George get us cups of coffee and then let's go over the GPKS file again before we board."

The four bodyguards don't sit and don't get anything to eat or drink, just take up security positions around the older man's table. They eye everyone else in the room like they are direct threats.

A man at the bar and an attractive woman who has just walked in look vaguely familiar to Donnie. Both are in Popscile Gray jumpsuits, so they are demobbed like him. Maybe he's seen them since he's been thawed out?

Donnie Boy

Donnie waves at the two in the jumpsuits that match his own. He hasn't spoken more than a few words in passing to the male and the female is a complete stranger to him but clearly they were all scheduled to be here for the same reason and they have shared the same cold experiences so far. Wouldn't be bad to have a couple of people to at least look like a pack, especially considering the group that just walked in the room.

Donnie examines the guards, doesn't much care for the suits in the middle as they are generally all the same, just interested in money, power or sex. But guards are like machines, they are built up and programmed to do specific jobs. Machines are something that Donnie can relate to.

Edwardo walks in and orders food, he is famished. Slugging down a few glasses on H2O, he replenishes his hydration level. He exercises a bit of skill, (streetwise) trying to determine the nature of the group that seems to own the place.

Edwardo is only a few seconds behind a group of civilians that enter the room ahead of him. After the civilians clear the door, he steps inside and hands his pass to a woman in an LSP uniform, who welcomes him and tells him there is food and drink at the bar.

While waiting for his plate of food he looks around. There is a group of four gray suited men to one side talking to each other, a gray suited man is seated at a table waving at him...or maybe it's the guy at the bar to his left. There is an attractive woman, also in a gray jumpsuit, standing and looking around. While the civilians are grouped around a table off to one side.

There is clearly an Alpha Male in the civilian group. He is seated with his back to the wall looking at some papers while a younger man is bringing coffee cups from the bar to the table and four burly, clearly, bodyguards stand around the table.

As you are sizing up the scene another former popsicle steps into the room, quickly sees you and shouts out,"Hey, roomie!"

It's Signon Fallow, the young man you've been saddled with the previous 2 days! He's just as bright eyed and cheerful as he has been for the last 48 hours...unrelentingly cheerful and chattering nonsense non-stop every moment he's awake...and he's heading your way! Signon is very tall and very thin with a shock of red hair and a freckled face. He looks 18, but from the smile lines at the corners of his eyes and around his mouth you'd guess he was, at least, a decade older than that.

"Isn't this great!" Sig enthuses as he strides across the room, "We're on the same boat, and it's a fast one, too! We'll be on Regina in...what?...2 days? Instead of the 5 or 6 it'll take the slow boats to make it in. Can I get a grape soda?"

Spying pastries behind the barman, he continues, "And doughnuts, you got doughnuts! Two, no three! Say, I'm Sig Fallow!"

Pedro is the target for Sig's latest salvo as he turns his bright grin on him,"You're one of the domobbed, too! I can tell by what you're wearing. I was a supply clerk before I got grabbed up by the Navy. What's your name?"

"Let's grab a table, that guy is waving at us. Let's go over there!"Sig juggles his plate of doughnuts and bottle of grape soda as he nudges Pedro and Edwardo toward Donnie's table.

Spying Zaki, Sig speaks up,"You too, Ma'am. Come join us! The frozen watch has got to stick together and we'll be together for a couple of days on this shuttle anyway."

Slapping his plate down at Donnie's table, Sig pulls a chair from another and plops down, "I'm Sig, Sig Fallow. What's you're handle? This here is Edwardo, what's your last name again Edwardo? And I don't know these two, Sig waves at Pedro and Zaki, but we're gonna be shipmates so let's get acquainted!"

Sig pauses in his verbal assault to stuff half a doughnut into his mouth and tip his head back as he takes a big swig of his graph soda.

Donnie

To Sig
"Easy kid, you're gonna choke."
To all
"Mornin' fellow ice cubes, names Donnie Boy. As Captain Enthusiasm here stated, looks like we're gonna be riding with each other for a while. Since I was the first at the table allow me to call this first meeting of the 'Gee ain't it Great to be Thawed' support group to order."

"I'm a mechanic by trade and by nature. I generally do better tinkering in an engine than I do with most people, but I figured since we all share a similar experience and at least part of our future, you all should be okay. I like long walks on the beach, the smell of engine solvent and fluffy pink critters. If something breaks down, call me. If you break down, I'll be in the corner but I'll buy you a drink."

Her voice is deeper and stronger than one would expect from a woman her size. Even in her challenging stance, she is careful to not block the guard's path, or make any move toward the prinicpals they are guarding. She tags the two men and starts a ID search to see if they are in the public datanet.

The older man is Sir Keen Haber, Assistant VP of Ling Standard Products. The younger is Will Eldora, personal assistant to Sir Keen. Sir Keen basically runs LSP in the Regina Subsector.

"Pardon, us please." says Eldora, "No offence meant."

Zika relaxes and, still careful not not make any move toward the executives, turns to face him. "Thank you. None taken." She steps away from the group, and looks toward the men who'd called after before she was pummeled by the security team.

She walks up to the table, accessing data on each of them as she approaches. "Hello," she says, making eye contact with each of them in turn. "I'm Major - well, I was at least, Zaki Shursiia."

"Edwardo Muscha is the name Sig. Pleased to meet you." He replies. He moves to take a seat to have his refreshments. He is unwilling to speak freely given the audience,

"Yeah, that's right! Moose-cha-cha." Sig's speech is slurred with his mouth half full of doughnut. You can't tell if the mispronunciation is just his current disability, an accident, or on purpose.

"Ooo! A Major!" Sig throws Zaki a sloppy salute with his half doughnut,"I was doing good to make it to Corporal.

Sig adds with a grin, "It's a good thing we're not in the Army any more Major or I couldn't let you sit with me.".

Zaki doesn't find anything on the people at the table. They are too new here to be in the databases, probably, just like she is. She'll have to depend on talking to find out about them.

"I'm Signon Fallow, by the way." I'd offer to shake hands, but I'd get this powdered sugar all over you. I love doughnuts!" Sig says with a grin as he shoves the rest of his first doughnut into his mouth.

Zaki smiles a little. "I see you do; the miracles of modern medicine at work." Her stomach rumbles at the thought of food. "Excuse me, I'l be right back." She goes to the bar and orders a pastrami and rye with a dark beer. When it arrives, she picks it all up and walks back over to the table with her plate and glass in hand.

Donnie Boy finishes his food and drink. He excuses himself from the table and makes his way to the front desk.

"I was wondering lass, is there anyway I might be able to get a sneak preview of the engine room on the tub that is going to be floating us on our way? I always feel better if I know what kind of mechanics are propping me up."
