Dark Frontiers

What could have turned into any gamer-boys ultimate fantasy was slowly becoming an absolute drag. This was a far cry from any old space film he'd watched or the lifelike video games he'd grown up playing. He wasn't killing aliens or flying around in high technological gadgets...no, he was stuck in a laboratory with the job of keeping an eye on the crafts systems. This was where life had lead one of the best hackers in American History...which he supposed was still better than where life had lead all of the other hackers. This wasn't too say that his job was without its perks, as one he did get to play around with some pretty cool stuff; take them apart to see how they worked and put them back together as good as new and maybe with a few adjustments. Like the ones he had been working on for the past week.

It had started out as parts of the archaic intercoms that were put in each room for the convenience of the passengers and staff a like but now...well they were far from pretty looking but Brent had constructed himself a pair of model walkie-talkie sort of devices. What fun was a conversation when they were all being monitored? And yes, he knew they were being monitored because he may or may not have access to them by simple tweaking of software. In any case these bad boys were as complete as he was willing to make them without having a test drive and there was really only one other person who he would trust to keep this as under wraps as possible. At least until he knew if they worked.

Heading out of his little corner of the world, he set up everything he needed to make sure the world wouldn't end without his presence, he made his way to his boarding. "Coast clear? Or am I going to have to find someone else to celebrate a potential victory of mine? Please don't let me walk into something I really don't want to see."

Blaine was settling in well enough. He had finally gotten around to telling her sister and it had gone about as well as slamming his head into the concrete wall. She was still pissed off at him which was truly impressive for Nora who had the sweetest biggest heart ever. He had tried that morning to get her to go to breakfast with him and she had told him to fuck off.

Blaine was still trying to pick his jaw up off the floor at her words when he heard the door next to her open. Ah yes. The Tennis girl. They hadn't seen each other in several days and hadn't had any conversations like they had had that very first day. "Hey." Blaine ran his fingers through his hair. "Want to go for a jog and grab breakfast? I was trying to talk my sister into it, but she still kind of hates me." He gave the red head a sheepish smile and shrugged. "Interested?"

Three steps into the testing room and Ava was ready to leave Frank for however designed it. This place was...amazing. She continued through into the room, making little sounds of excitement. Fireproof areas, equipment, the latest in technology...all at her fingertips.

Which were now literally itching to get started. So they had exactly encountered any rogue alien life, but did that mean she didn't need to start preparing for that possibility? Of course not. She had some work to do.


"This is amazing." She seriously might just move. "So is there anything in particular you would like designed?"

Brianne. The name suited her and sounded professional enough. Dr. Brianne Lewis. She sounded sophisticated and chic. Funny she was still only a child. Which was why when she found out they would be introducing her at the passenger and crew meeting that she freaked out a little bit.

"Are you coming?" Her mother stuck her head in Bri's little dorm room. Originally they had intended to put her in the scientist quarters but after her age and the primary sex of the scientists it was finally decided that she would either bunk with her family or with the other teenagers around her age. She had chosen to stay in a dorm with others and was reminded of the wise decision when her mother reached and began fussing with her hair.

Bri finally reached up and moved her mother's hand with a small smile. "I'm ready. Just had to double check myself." She was wearing jeans and a nice top. She didn't look too young, but she didn't look old either. Bry had even put on a touch of make up.


The Senator was waiting on a raised platform as everyone filed into the room. Bri took her place standing next to the other scientists and tried not to feel ridiculously awkward.
