my heart

[info]taariqcaptain
Who: Farah and Open
What: Farah is in a little daze about the love letter
Where: Desk in tech room
When: 15:40
Warnings: none
Summary: ….

Chewing her lip and looking back at that love note Farah sighed. She wasn’t getting much work done was she? Unfortunately she couldn’t stop herself wondering who had sent such a lovely thing to her. She had briefly thought it to be a prank by someone. But no one was that cruel on this ship. She was sure of it.

Sighing she wrinkled her nose as she tried to guess who it was. She’d end up getting so obsessed and somehow trying to find DNA or finger prints off of it. She could just ask people she figured. But it had been unsigned. Like someone was scared or ashamed to feel that way. Resting her chin on to her hand she let out a long sigh.

Who were you mystery admirer?

A scheme a-foot, bwhaha

[info]taariqcaptain
Who: Farah, Zip and Open
What: Farah is sorting out a whole load of messy files
Where: Tech Room
When: 11:09
Warnings: none
Summary:

The door to the tech room was open, not exactly inviting people in but it wasn’t putting people off from having a nosy inside it. Farah looked down at her communicator and picked it up.
“Farah, I think we’re going to end up passing by a planet.” He said waiting for her to respond.
“A planet!?” She asked curiously. “Hrmm…how come we didn’t spot it coming? What’s the orbit?”
“It’s pretty wide, I can’t tell yet if it’s going to be hospitable either. Or if it’s even tagged. Think we should investigate when we get closer?”
“How long have we got to decide?” She asked,
“One minute.” He looked at the distance and smirked, “We’ve got like…two months.” He chuckled.
“Ah well then.” She shrugged. “Right, y’know what to do then. Get Rei up there too to see about finding out if it’s mapped and if it’s owned. If not we’ll get the coordinates marked down and see about auctioning them. If there’s anything important of course. We just got the one planet?”
“Yeah, for now. We may get lucky and they could be in the right locations in their orbits to pass close to us.” He added, “Oh and there’s a comet about three weeks away, we’ll pass it. I’ve started scanning to see if the ice is contaminated. If not it could really relieve the water problem.” He added.
“It’s all good Zip.” She replied from her location in the tech room. “Right then hun, I best get back to the files. Anything else of interest?”
“No. Is there ever?” He laughed.
“Okay then love. I’m off. See ya later.” She replied.
Setting it down she looked back over the files and groaned. She knew this was her own fault! But she couldn’t be bothered and in truth, didn’t have the time when they were darting from planet to planet, station to station usually. But here, she had a lot of free time. So she was catching up on the filing system. Various touch pads were strewn about on the floor, a few actually sheets of paper, a lap top was open and another computer screen attached to the main memory console on the wall was placed out in front of her. She also had to update a whole load of data they had collected too, the ship had a vast knowledge inside it. More so than most ships of this class usually did. But they didn’t have a previous Captain with a mammoth mind to improve things. Farah sighed as she thought about her Father for a moment. She shook her head and groaned again. Though the contracts caught her eye. She chewed her lip. She didn’t really trust her employer. In fact, she had a sneaky suspicion he’d try something funny. The contracts had one loop hole though. One that she now could exploit. She just needed a willing survivor to come and bug her.

land a-hoy...well...eventually

[info]zanezip
Who: Zip, Farah and Open
What: Zip’s up on the bridge fixing things up and spots something interesting
Where: Bridge
When: 11:09
Warnings: none
Summary:

Zip sat cross legged at the bridge. He was fixing the speaker next to the second pilots seat. Technically it should be Brody’s seat but Brody was the first pilot in theory. Farah had just never gotten around to changing his title. In truth she liked to bug him with it. Replacing the cover over the speaker he sat back and checked it was working. It seemed fine to him. He heard a beeping coming from behind the cockpit and stood up to investigate. It was hotter than usual today up here. He hoped that the environmental controls weren’t threatening to break. He was wearing his bright blue vest and his brown combat trousers. His implants very much visible and his metal arm in clear view. Not everyone of the survivors had seen him yet. But most didn’t seem phased which he liked. They also hadn’t asked questions which he preferred even more. As far as people knew, he was Farah’s brother. That was that. He bent at the waist to lean on the counter and raised an eyebrow. “Now this could be interesting.” He pulled the chair towards him and sat down opening up the alert message the ship had given him. “Now…what have we…?” He asked himself and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now this was interesting! Thanks old girl!” He grinned patting the control panel affectionately. He pushed off from the counter and rolled over towards the intercom and punched in the number for Farah’s personal communicator. “Farah, I think we’re going to end up passing by a planet.” He said waiting for her to respond.
“A planet!?” She asked curiously. “Hrmm…how come we didn’t spot it coming? What’s the orbit?”
“It’s pretty wide, I can’t tell yet if it’s going to be hospitable either. Or if it’s even tagged. Think we should investigate when we get closer?”
“How long have we got to decide?” She asked,
“One minute.” He looked at the distance and smirked, “We’ve got like…two months.” He chuckled.
“Ah well then.” She shrugged. “Right, y’know what to do then. Get Rei up there too to see about finding out if it’s mapped and if it’s owned. If not we’ll get the coordinates marked down and see about auctioning them. If there’s anything important of course. We just got the one planet?”
“Yeah, for now. We may get lucky and they could be in the right locations in their orbits to pass close to us.” He added, “Oh and there’s a comet about three weeks away, we’ll pass it. I’ve started scanning to see if the ice is contaminated. If not it could really relieve the water problem.” He added.
“It’s all good Zip.” She replied from her location in the tech room. “Right then hun, I best get back to the files. Anything else of interest?”
“No. Is there ever?” He laughed.
“Okay then love. I’m off. See ya later.” She replied.
Zip took his finger off of the intercom and slid back over to the computer panel and started to narrow down the scan to the planet up ahead. It could be a rock waste land with no point to take the buggy down to it. Though Brody may want to anyway to show off his piloting skills. He looked up and grinned as he spotted someone stood in the doorway. “How long you been there?” He asked pleasantly to turn and see who it was.

Rock on! ROCK OUT!

[info]taariqcaptain
Who: Farah/ Charlie and Open
What: Fixing up the space buggy! Whilst listening to music.
Where: Cargo Bay
When: 11:47
Warnings: possible bad language
Summary:

Captain’s are a role model for a ship. A respectable and honourable person. A leader. A moral guider. They are poised, refined and collected.

Or that’s what they’re supposed to be.

Captain McKenzie-Malone however was not such a refined person with grease on her face and dirty overalls tied at the waste and her white vest top covered in stains. She was tapping her wrench on the engine they had pulled out and put in the middle of the cargo bay and was currently dancing to a particular part of music in a song. She was waiting for Charlie to come and keep her behaving herself but she loved it down here. She could crank up the music full blast and dance like a freak. Like no one was watching. It was always nice and warm down here with the engines either side of the cargo bay. Plus, she loved the dune buggies, the space buggy and the automobile. She loved the automobile. So, if her poor space buggy was broken this gave her a good excuse to escape from the survivors. If they didn’t come to investigate the loud pumping music that is.

She grabbed another wrench and then started imitating the drums. She loved 20th Century Rock music. Some thought it was just noise. But she loved it. And hey, this was her ship.
