dinner! dinner!

[info]zanezip
Who: Zip/Eddie and Open
What: Dinner time!
Where: Kitchen/Dinning room
When: 17:25
Warnings: possible language
Summary: ….

Grabbing a bowl off of Eddie, Zip set out the long table with food that looked white and would taste fairly bland but he had his secret little bottles of flavour. Again. It was pasta. He was getting so sick of pasta! What he wouldn’t give for fresh vegetables and a fresh risen loaf with a huge slab of real butter. Not the pathetic imitation crap. And milk! What he wouldn’t give for real milk. Powdered chemical weird white stuff was all they could use for cups of tea and coffee. Everything was basically powder that he had to try and cook with!

He’d tried to do something nice again though by using another cake mix and throwing some dehydrated fruit in to it. So it was a fairly nice fruit cake.

Drinks were a-plenty on one end of the table. The alcohol supply had cost almost as much as the fuel and water supplies! Okay, perhaps an exaggeration. But near enough.

“Right, time to ring the bell!” He declared walking over to the ship wide intercom. He pressed a finger to it and took out a little bell and rang it. He’d been serious about the bell then. People had wondered if he may have used a gong.

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.

sneaky sneaky

[info]merc_4_hire
Who: Nox and Open
What: Nox is wondering around
Where: The corridors
When: 04.30
Warnings: Maybe some bad language
Summary:

Okay so Nox wasn’t one to play by the rules, so the whole behave, stay put, and do as your told stuff didn’t sit well. Okay he wasn’t listening to it at all, plus he was bored. There were other reasons too! He now had to spend six months with these people and not seem suspicious, guilty or in any way responsible for putting everyone in the position they were in. Which of course he was confident he could do, didn’t mean he didn’t want to find out all he could about the crew! He might need to manipulate them later… Plus on he travels if he was lucky he might find cake! So they were pretty much the reasons he was wondering around the ship, quietly.

*GONG*

[info]zanezip
Who: Zip and Open
What: Dinner time!
Where: Dining/ Kitchen
When: 17:31
Warnings: None
Summary: _______

Feel free to start up a new thread if your characters want to have a private conversation

Zip straightened up and walked over towards the intercom and held down the button. “Everyone, dinner is ready. Could you please come to the dining room so everyone gets their share?” He asked. “On tonight’s menu…” He began in a waiting voice, joking of course, “Is pasta, pasta and plenty of pasta in a delicate cheese sauce straight from the jar at the back of the cupboard.” He continued, “Flavours are spicy cheese, garlicy cheese. Tomato and cheese. Onino and cheese. And then just plain cheese. If you don’t like pasta and cheese you’re out of luck but we’ve got bread you can fill up on.” He added leaning against the wall. “For drinks we have a selection of cheap ass wine that can double up as paint thinner in emergencies.” He continued his droll. “A number of beer bottles some of which I haven’t seen for years so should get you royally drunk.” Ah, alcohol would get a stampede. If not that, then the cakes would! “For dessert people, we have cake. Yes, I repeat. We have cake.” He smirked. “That is all.” He let go of the intercom and took of his apron and put it up on the hook. He rubbed his metallic arm and flexed its fingers. Pistons, valves, cogs and gears making them move. He’d briefly seen most of them, but a lot of them hadn’t seen him. He’d considered wearing a long sleeved shirt to hide most of the implants, but he couldn’t keep that up for the whole journey. So he was wearing a white vest. Nothing was hidden there.
