[23:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	[LAST TIME]
[23:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	[REPAIRS]
[23:23]	<[huh]Trillian>	[THIS TIME]
[23:23]	<[huh]Trillian>	[MORE REPAIRS]
[23:24]	<[huh]Trillian>	[Amaria and Aris had just finished fixing the thrusters. Meanwhile, Patricia, Trillian, and Cornette were headed over to the energy core.]
[23:26]	* [Ora]Patricia	takes a look at the rusty door sign. It reads, "Energy Core" If this isn't the place then I'll be damned.
[23:27]	<[huh]Trillian>	This should be it.
[23:27]	* [Ora]Patricia	turns and looks at the others.
[23:27]	<[kiri]Cornette>	If the door's already like this... I don't want to imagine the situation inside.
[23:27]	<[kiri]Cornette>	This could take months...
[23:27]	* [kiri]Cornette	sigh.
[23:27]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Well then, lets get this done and over with. This place is not the best for my health.
[23:28]	* [Ora]Patricia	opens the door.
[23:29]	* [huh]Trillian	kicks open the door. Inside the room is a large luminescent crystal suspended in some sort of shimmering force field, with a catwalk encircling it on multiple levels. For a numerical estimate, the crystal is about ten meters in diameter. It certainly looks like a core as well.
[23:29]	<[huh]Trillian>	[nix the kicking]
[23:29]	<[kiri]Cornette>	So, uh...
[23:29]	<[kiri]Cornette>	How do we exactly fix this?
[23:29]	* [kiri]Cornette	is a radar officer.
[23:29]	<[huh]Trillian>	Very carefully.
[23:30]	* [Ora]Patricia	looks around, there are rusts covering all the catwalks and proceeds slowly to the core.
[23:30]	<[Ora]Patricia>	No use standing here.
[23:31]	<[kiri]Cornette>	that's true, but...
[23:31]	* [kiri]Cornette	just follows. It's not like she can do anything anyway.
[23:32]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Well, let's check its condition first.
[23:32]	* [kiri]Cornette	looks around for a console-ish thingy. There must be one.
[23:33]	* [huh]Trillian	walks up to a complicated-looking terminal, with all sorts of glowy bits and LEDs
[23:33]	* [huh]Trillian	examines the console with a worried expression on her face.
[23:33]	<[Ora]Patricia>	What's the matter?
[23:34]	<[huh]Trillian>	I have no clue what this thing is telling me.
[23:34]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyone here know how to work this?
[23:34]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Do we have a manual for the core or something of that nature?
[23:34]	<[huh]Trillian>	20,000 pages long.
[23:34]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Uh, manual manual.....
[23:34]	* [Ora]Patricia	frowns.
[23:34]	<[Ora]Patricia>	What.
[23:36]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Let me take a look at it...
[23:37]	* [kiri]Cornette	mess around with the console.
[23:37]	* [kiri]Cornette	press this and that. LOOKS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL.
[23:37]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Uh... I dunno.
[23:37]	<[huh]Trillian>	Great.
[23:37]	<[huh]Trillian>	We don't even know if it's broken or not.
[23:38]	* [kiri]Cornette	shrugs.
[23:42]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Mmmmm....
[23:42]	<[huh]Trillian>	I think this looks right...
[23:42]	* [huh]Trillian	presses some buttons.
[23:42]	<[huh]Trillian>	You think?
[23:42]	* [kiri]Cornette	is still messing around with the console, more like just reading it this time. Self-destructing the ship is not really fun.
[23:42]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Mmm. I guess this button would access us to that panel...
[23:43]	* [kiri]Cornette	press some buttons
[23:43]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Let me take a look, I've seen a core like this before...
[23:43]	* [huh]Trillian	lets Patricia look.
[23:44]	* [Ora]Patricia	takes a look and access the control panel then views over the settings.
[23:45]	* [kiri]Cornette	looks around the engine room.
[23:45]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Hm.. Temperature control, propulsion output, and a few other miscellaneous settings.
[23:45]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I've never been here before... so this is where the mechanics lived....
[23:46]	<[huh]Trillian>	Wel, "lived" as in worked their asses off night and day, then yeah.
[23:46]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I heard they actually lived in here. In a sleeping bag and all that.
[23:47]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Anyway, I think we actually made it. Huh.
[23:48]	<[huh]Trillian>	Hell, they might have. Fortunately, I'm not as high-maintenance as some rich kid, or else you'd- oh, it's done?
[23:48]	* [Ora]Patricia	spots an action on the control panel that says "Maintenance Scan."
[23:48]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Oh! There it is!
[23:49]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Master Trillian, I-I think I found something that may help us start diagnosing the core. Would you care to do the honors?
[23:49]	<[huh]Trillian>	Sure thing.
[23:49]	* [huh]Trillian	presses the button.
[23:52]	<[huh]Trillian>	[a minute later the results are in: the energy shed on the core is malfunctioning. If not properly treated soon, power overflow will bathe the entire ship is fatal radiation.]
[23:52]	<[huh]Trillian>	That doesn't sound too good.
[23:52]	* [Ora]Patricia	frowns a bit.
[23:52]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Well, do we have the necessary tools to repair the shed?
[23:53]	<[huh]Trillian>	We should.
[23:54]	<[huh]Trillian>	...Somewhere.
[23:54]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Well... how about asking someone who knows the ship's layout?
[23:54]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Like Amari?
[23:55]	<[huh]Trillian>	Too much trouble.
[23:55]	<[kiri]Cornette>	It's gonna be much more trouble if we can't find it, though.....
[23:55]	* [huh]Trillian	kicks the console. A panel swings open. Looking in, she finds a red toolbox.
[23:55]	<[huh]Trillian>	Well, that's one less mystery.
[23:56]	<[kiri]Cornette>	How about some radiation suit?
[23:56]	<[huh]Trillian>	The energy shed itself isn't dangerous.
[23:56]	<[kiri]Cornette>	If you say so, Trillian.
[23:57]	<[huh]Trillian>	I do say so.
[23:57]	<[huh]Trillian>	In any case...
[23:57]	* [kiri]Cornette	use this chance to snuggle up behind Trillian, getting close to her a little bit more.
[23:57]	* [Ora]Patricia	frowns at Cornette.
[23:57]	<[huh]Trillian>	The energy shed should be on the level below this one.
[23:57]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Save the cuddling for later, we have a core to repair.
[23:58]	* [huh]Trillian	points to a ladder. You can't help but notice how completely unsafe it looks.
[23:58]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Well, I....
[23:59]	* [kiri]Cornette	quickly retreats.
[23:59]	* [Ora]Patricia	volunteers.
[23:59]	<[kiri]Cornette>	...I got a good grade in PE course, so I think I might be able to do it.
[23:59]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'll go first, can't have the mast- well you can go first then Cornette~.
[00:00]	* [kiri]Cornette	coughs. She blushes a little.
[00:00]	<[kiri]Cornette>	But... but I'm wearing a long skirt here, so....
[00:01]	<[huh]Trillian>	We're all girls here, what does it matter what you're wearing?
[00:01]	* [Ora]Patricia	smirks a bit.
[00:01]	* [kiri]Cornette	fidgets.
[00:01]	<[kiri]Cornette>	A... Alright.
[00:02]	* [Ora]Patricia	walks past Cornette and heads down.
[00:02]	* [kiri]Cornette	grab the toolbox and prepare herself.
[00:04]	<[huh]Trillian>	What're you waiting for?
[00:05]	* [huh]Trillian	slaps Cornette on the back, pushing her at the ladder. She barely manages to catch hold.
[00:05]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Wah!
[00:05]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Right away! sheesh....
[00:05]	* [kiri]Cornette	descends.
[00:06]	<[Ora]Patricia>	C'mon you slowpokes, by the time we reach there we'll have a radiation level of 1000 REMS.
[00:07]	<[kiri]Cornette>	hmph! I'm just being careful!
[00:08]	* [kiri]Cornette	pouts a little, trying to keep her composure while climbing down.
[00:08]	* [Ora]Patricia	looks up and sees a pair of black lace underwear and has a cat-like grin.
[00:08]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I see you're going in style Cornette, black lace eh?
[00:08]	<[kiri]Cornette>	---!!
[00:09]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Keep your eyes down, would you! I wish you could just fall into some radiated goo.
[00:10]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Now, now...
[00:12]	* [Ora]Patricia	gets off the ladder and surveys the surrounding, looking for the energy shed.
[00:13]	* [huh]Trillian	has since climbed down.
[00:13]	* [kiri]Cornette	landed.
[00:14]	* [Mode]Amaria	having completed the repairs in the rear of the ship, without any other standing orders that can't be delayed, and thanks to her natural connection to the ship systems informing her of the activity, Amaria decides to pass by the core room. Sliding up to the external door, then disengaging her wheels to enter on foot.
[00:14]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Hello in here~?
[00:14]	* [kiri]Cornette	heard some faint voice.
[00:14]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Did you here something?
[00:15]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I do. It's Amaria.
[00:15]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Should we call for her master trillian?
[00:15]	<[huh]Trillian>	[You notice that the catwalk is encircled by a tube embedded into the wall that is glowing in the same way as the crystal itself.]
[00:15]	<[huh]Trillian>	Ah, yeah.
[00:15]	<[huh]Trillian>	Amria, come down here! I got more work for ya!
[00:15]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Mmm... It's kinda dangerous to touch that thing...
[00:16]	<[huh]Trillian>	Shouldn't be. As I said, it's completely safe.
[00:16]	<[kiri]Cornette>	But it's glowing, really.
[00:16]	* [huh]Trillian	puts her palm on the tube to illustrate.
[00:16]	<[huh]Trillian>	There's energy inside, but it should be insulated.
[00:17]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Okay...
[00:17]	* [Mode]Amaria	hears Trillian calling for her after a few seconds. She steps over to the edge of the entrance catwalk and looks down, spotting the others.
[00:17]	* [kiri]Cornette	carefully move up to the catwalk.
[00:17]	* [huh]Trillian	draws her hand back, there's a sizzling, and an arc of electricity from the crystal to where her hand was moments ago.
[00:17]	<[kiri]Cornette>	---?!
[00:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	Owww.
[00:17]	<[Ora]Patricia>	M-master!? You ok?
[00:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	That... that's probably the problem.
[00:18]	* [huh]Trillian	is shaking her hand, which looks burnt.
[00:18]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Trillian!
[00:18]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Ah, that didn't look good.
[00:18]	* [kiri]Cornette	caught Trillian's hand and look at it with a very worried look on her face.
[00:18]	<[huh]Trillian>	It's fine.
[00:18]	<[kiri]Cornette>	It's not fine! It's burnt!
[00:18]	<[huh]Trillian>	In any case, we should fix this thing.
[00:19]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Just sit back and order us to do the work for you. Its our duty to look over the ship.
[00:19]	<[huh]Trillian>	Only a flesh wound.
[00:19]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Hang on a sec!
[00:21]	* [kiri]Cornette	rips her apron into a long piece of clothes, and hurriedly wraps around the wound. After cleaning it with some drinking water, of course.
[00:21]	<[kiri]Cornette>	There!
[00:22]	<[Ora]Patricia>	We'll have to take a look at the wound but now we have to repair the energy shed or there'll be more than burns.
[00:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	Yeah... thanks.
[00:23]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Trillian is more important than this ship!
[00:23]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Uh......
[00:23]	* [kiri]Cornette	wish she could retract that statement.
[00:24]	<[huh]Trillian>	If only...
[00:24]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyway, Amaria, news on how to fix this thing?
[00:24]	* [kiri]Cornette	fidgets.
[00:26]	* [Mode]Amaria	steps up to the console on the catwalk above, having seen the arc breach firsthand. She begins her interface by plugging her skull socket into the port on the control console, and plants her hands on two points. The mechanisms at her wrist disconnect themselves and open up, allowing a pair of cords to plug directly into the control panel through her arms. A series of lights flash on around...
[00:26]	* [Mode]Amaria	...the core, and a set of robot arms raise up from the enclosure around the core.
[00:27]	<[Mode]Amaria>	I should be able to manually manipulate the containment field while you work to keep casualties down.
[00:27]	<[huh]Trillian>	Casualties?
[00:27]	* [Ora]Patricia	frowns.
[00:27]	<[Ora]Patricia>	She means us.
[00:28]	<[huh]Trillian>	That's what I'm afraid of.
[00:28]	<[kiri]Cornette>	You should stay back, Trillian. Let us handle this.
[00:29]	* [kiri]Cornette	pull her sleeves up. Ready to roll.
[00:30]	* [Mode]Amaria	controls the arms, directing them towards the core. The entire thing glows brighter as the arms close in, opening up at the ends to project a field towards the crystal.
[00:30]	<[Mode]Amaria>	It would be a bad idea to get close to this with tools as it was. A burnt hand is getting off easy!
[00:32]	<[kiri]Cornette>	So what should we do then?
[00:33]	<[huh]Trillian>	As Amaira says this, a second arc jumps from the crystal. Though Cornette and Patricia manage to dodge, Trillian is not so quick.
[00:34]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Trillian!
[00:37]	<[huh]Trillian>	Jesus Christ!
[00:37]	* [huh]Trillian	stands up shakily
[00:37]	<[huh]Trillian>	I-I'm good...
[00:37]	<[Ora]Patricia>	No, you're not. Please head back up and let us handle the job please.
[00:38]	* [kiri]Cornette	take this chance to drag Trillian to the area far from the operating machine.
[00:38]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Stay there, please! I can't stand seeing you getting hurt again!
[00:38]	* [kiri]Cornette	blushes.
[00:39]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I mean, because you're a commander of this ship! um!
[00:40]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Thanks Cornette, the commander is going to die at this rate if he keeps this up.
[00:40]	<[huh]Trillian>	As Patricia says this, she gets shot herself by another discharge.
[00:41]	<[huh]Trillian>	Er, ar you alright?
[00:41]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Ah!!
[00:41]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Ow.
[00:41]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Well, damn. We'd better hurry up before we're fried down here.
[00:42]	<[kiri]Cornette>	What's the next instruction, Amari?!
[00:46]	* [Mode]Amaria	after the latest containment breach, Amaria devotes more processing power to the core control mechanisms. The field kicks into full strength as her consciousness splits between the mobile terminal body and the core control mechanisms. In her current state, she decides to tap into ship communications as well, routing back to the core to speak through the com system.
[00:47]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Everything should be better now, but there's still a slight chance of a breach. I would suggest you get moving and do whatever work needs to be done as quickly as possible.
[00:47]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Roger!
[00:48]	* [Mode]Amaria	there's a slightly surreal moment as Amaria sighs through the ships comms system, as if the vessel itself is exasperated by this entire ordeal.
[00:49]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Right then. We'd best make haste.
[00:50]	* [kiri]Cornette	tap Patricia's shoulder as she run past her.
[00:50]	<[kiri]Cornette>	You okay? Let's finish this as soon as possible.
[00:50]	* [Ora]Patricia	shakes her head a bit and follows Cornette.
[00:50]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I-I'm fine.
[00:52]	* [Ora]Patricia	sees a few dislocated plates of metal near the energy shed.
[00:54]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I got it I got it!
[00:55]	* [kiri]Cornette	do what it needs to be done with that metal plate
[00:58]	* [Ora]Patricia	looks over Cornette's shoulder and sees she's put in a plate the wrong way.
[00:58]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Cornette, put that piece in that direction opposite of the one your touching right now.
[00:59]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Oh? Ah, Okay!
[00:59]	* [kiri]Cornette	do just that.
[01:00]	* [Ora]Patricia	looks at Cornettes work and everything should be in working order.
[01:00]	<[Ora]Patricia>	That should be it. Lets get the master and head back up to Amaria.
[01:01]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I hope this won't blow up anytime soon....
[01:03]	* [kiri]Cornette	walk back to where Trillian is.
[01:03]	<[kiri]Cornette>	It's done now.
[01:04]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Lets go back up, I've had enough of these shocks. My ears are all tingly.
[01:04]	<[huh]Trillian>	Y-yeah...
[01:05]	* [nfty]Aris	's voice crackles on the intercom.
[01:06]	* [kiri]Cornette	takes Trillian's hand.
[01:06]	<[nfty]Aris>	Good job everyone! -bbzt- Everything looks good on the bridge; I found some medical 'packs in the supplies and got them ready for you. It should be waiting in the medical room.
[01:07]	* [kiri]Cornette	is in bliss. So soft~
[01:07]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Let's go up.
[01:08]	* [Ora]Patricia	frowns at Cornette but says nothing about it and heads back up the rickety ladder.
[01:08]	<[huh]Trillian>	I should be able to manage on my own.
[01:08]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyway, I can't climb a ladder one-handed.
[01:09]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Ah---
[01:09]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Sorry.
[01:09]	* [kiri]Cornette	let go.
[01:10]	* [huh]Trillian	heads up the ladder, freed from Cornette's grip.
[01:10]	* [kiri]Cornette	follow up as the last person.
[01:11]	<[Ora]Patricia>	There we go..
[01:11]	* [Ora]Patricia	is on top and notifies Amaria that we are done.
[01:16]	<[huh]Trillian>	Right!
[01:16]	<[huh]Trillian>	Now, you should get to the medical room, Patty.
[01:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	Those shocks can't be good for you.
[01:17]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Same to you, Trillian. You just got hurt too.
[01:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	Eh, that was nothing.
[01:18]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Nothing my butt, lets get going master.
[01:18]	* [huh]Trillian	stretches, then cringes with a sharp intake of breath.
[01:18]	<[Ora]Patricia>	H-hey! Take it easy now.
[01:18]	<[huh]Trillian>	Fine, fine...
[01:19]	* [huh]Trillian	ruefully heads towards the med bay.
[01:19]	<[Ora]Patricia>	W-wait up...
[01:20]	* [Mode]Amaria	finishing up her containment duty, she takes some extra time to set in a few extra commands before disconnecting and withdrawing from the system. As the cords retract into her wrists and they clasp shut once more, she looks over at the slightly injured parties nearby leaving the core room.
[01:20]	<[Mode]Amaria>	That was dangerous!
[01:20]	* [kiri]Cornette	follows. Leaving Patricia behind. She did turn back and smirk at her, though.
[01:20]	* [Mode]Amaria	starts rolling backwards immediately, following everyone else out into the halls and turning to follow them.
[01:22]	* [nfty]Aris	is inside the medical bay, warming up some self-heating rations. Rolls of bandages and a few medical pastes and packages are also lying on the table in front of her.
[01:24]	* [Ora]Patricia	has her kitty senses tingling and rushes in front of the others. The smell of food rations alert her, it can be only one person...
[01:25]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Aris!!!
[01:25]	* [Ora]Patricia	makes a anime style sliding before entering the door.
[01:27]	* [kiri]Cornette	is surprised. One should not recovery that fast after being struck by lightning arc.
[01:27]	* [nfty]Aris	jumps a little. "Uh... yes?"
[01:27]	<[kiri]Cornette>	We need a medical support! Trillian got hurt!
[01:27]	<[Ora]Patricia>	You... You're eating aga-
[01:27]	<[huh]Trillian>	I'm fine.
[01:27]	<[nfty]Aris>	What? No! This is for Trillian!
[01:28]	* [Ora]Patricia	cringes at the pain of being shocked.
[01:28]	<[Ora]Patricia>	.. I'll let it go today. Take care of the master please.
[01:28]	<[nfty]Aris>	I, well, I saw what happened, and thought maybe after getting hurt down there, ah -- you got it.
[01:28]	<[nfty]Aris>	Come on, Trill. Let's get that fixed up.
[01:29]	* [kiri]Cornette	leave Trillian to Aris' care. She sit down on the nearby bed, busy being panic.
[01:29]	* [nfty]Aris	smiles a familiar smile straight from their old days together as she grabs some burn cream and walks over to Trillian.
[01:29]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Tell me if you need anything, okay?
[01:30]	* [huh]Trillian	looks at the cream doubtfully...
[01:30]	* [nfty]Aris	looks over. "I think I've got everything, but... if you're hungry I also brought some extra packages, too. Nothing helps you feel better like a good meal, right?"
[01:30]	* [Ora]Patricia	gets the burn cream and opens a bit of her stomach area to see a dark mark near the side of her torso.
[01:30]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Well..
[01:31]	* [nfty]Aris	looks back to Trill "What's wrong? It'll help prevent infection and alleviate the pain."
[01:32]	* [Ora]Patricia	applies the cream and is a bit relieved now and gets some bandage to apply at the area.
[01:32]	<[Ora]Patricia>	There we go.. good as new.
[01:32]	<[huh]Trillian>	Ah... nothing...
[01:32]	* [kiri]Cornette	sigh.
[01:34]	<[Mode]Amaria>	I wonder...
[01:34]	* [nfty]Aris	carefully makes sure Trill's hands are okay, and applies the cream with tender care before lightly applying pain-soothing paste and bandages.
[01:34]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Would this be what is commonly called 'luck' that I happened to decide to stop in at the core when I did?
[01:34]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I guess.
[01:35]	<[huh]Trillian>	Pretty much. Thanks back there.
[01:35]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Perhaps, intuition is a better fit term.
[01:35]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Come to think of it....
[01:36]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Hmm, maybe.
[01:36]	<[kiri]Cornette>	is there anyone manning the bridge right now?
[01:36]	<[huh]Trillian>	No...
[01:36]	<[Mode]Amaria>	I have direct connections to the important control systems of the ship at all times. The ship is safely on autopilot.
[01:37]	* [Mode]Amaria	smiles brightly.
[01:37]	<[huh]Trillian>	Ah. I guess it's useful to have you around.
[01:37]	<[Mode]Amaria>	I am a mobile terminal after all~
[01:37]	* [kiri]Cornette	absentmindedly pats Amaria's head.
[01:38]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Good job, good job.
[01:38]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Ensuring that a status report of the basic functions at all times under any conditions is available for the commanding officer is the reason I exist, after all.
[01:38]	<[nfty]Aris>	Okay, all done!
[01:38]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Cornette, Amaria's not a child now...
[01:38]	<[kiri]Cornette>	It still feels nice, anyway.
[01:40]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Human comfort mechanic?
[01:40]	<[kiri]Cornette>	haha, I guess.
[01:40]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyway, Meal packets are fine, but I'm gonna go to the kitchen and see what I can scare up there.
[01:40]	* [huh]Trillian	starts out.
[01:40]	<[nfty]Aris>	Ah... alright.
[01:40]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I also need to go check on something. I'll be right there soon.
[01:40]	* [nfty]Aris	looks a little disappointed.
[01:42]	<[huh]Trillian>	Something wring, Aris?
[01:43]	<[nfty]Aris>	Oh, no. It's okay
[01:43]	* [nfty]Aris	smiles a little.
[01:43]	<[nfty]Aris>	I'll just eat this one.
[01:44]	* [kiri]Cornette	eyes Aris. Her woman inituition sense something, but she's still unsure what it is....
[01:45]	<[huh]Trillian>	Next time, eh?
[01:45]	* [huh]Trillian	waves as she leaves.
[01:46]	* [Ora]Patricia	sighs and heads out.
[01:46]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'll see you folks later, I don't want the master to be making a mess in the kitchen.
[01:47]	<[kiri]Cornette>	What about you? You just got shocked by a lightning bolt.
[01:47]	* [nfty]Aris	digs into the somewhat lukewarm ration.
[01:47]	<[Mode]Amaria>	I hadn't considered that. The commander was injured, shouldn't she be resting?
[01:48]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'm fine. Just a small burn, compared to master's... I'll be just fine.
[01:48]	<[kiri]Cornette>	She should be okay. Patricia's with her.
[01:48]	* [huh]Trillian	, some time later, enters the kitchen.
[01:49]	* [kiri]Cornette	is off doing some of the menial task, like logging the data and such.
[01:53]	* [Atai]Coureix	is in the kitchen, thoughtfully chewing a muffin. She gives a casual, friendly greeting to Trillian.
[01:53]	<[Atai]Coureix>	'Fup, boff?
[01:53]	* [Atai]Coureix	says, through a full mouth.
[01:54]	<[huh]Trillian>	Sup.
[01:54]	* [huh]Trillian	goes to the fridge.
[01:55]	* [Atai]Coureix	swallows the mouthful, then peers closely at the muffin. Fascinating. How do they GET all those seeds in there?
[01:55]	* [Mode]Amaria	suddenly starts beeping.
[01:56]	<[Mode]Amaria>	Oh! I need a cell recharge.
[01:56]	* [Ora]Patricia	arrives at the kitchen a few minutes after Trillian.
[01:57]	* [huh]Trillian	peers over the door.
[01:57]	<[huh]Trillian>	By the way...
[01:57]	* [Atai]Coureix	looks up from muffin examining.
[01:57]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Yo.
[01:57]	* [Mode]Amaria	rolls off without anything further.
[01:57]	<[huh]Trillian>	Who the hell are you?
[01:57]	<[Ora]Patricia>	"Master if you needed hel-.. hm.. I don't believe we have visitors here on ship in space.."
[01:58]	* [Atai]Coureix	looks mildly put out for a moment, and looks down at her self, then straightens up and smiles.
[01:59]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Ah, that's right, you're one of the new kids.
[01:59]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Coureix d'Clausura. Been working here a while now.
[01:59]	* [Atai]Coureix	sticks out a hand.
[02:01]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I've been with the master arrived on this ship, but hello here.
[02:01]	* [huh]Trillian	shakes her hand.
[02:01]	* [Atai]Coureix	looks over at Patricia.
[02:01]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Oh. Hi to you too.
[02:01]	<[huh]Trillian>	Trillian Valdeaunia.
[02:01]	* [Ora]Patricia	holds out her hand to Coureix expecting a handshake.
[02:02]	* [Atai]Coureix	looks at Patricia's hand closely.
[02:02]	* [Atai]Coureix	...very closely.
[02:02]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Damn. Look at all those lines.
[02:03]	<[Atai]Coureix>	and you can track people with that?
[02:03]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Why yes.. I can. Name's Patricia Crissa.
[02:04]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Oh, you're still there, too?
[02:04]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Damn, how do you people manage that?
[02:04]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Anyway, welcome aboard.
[02:05]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Oh, and, uh...
[02:05]	<[Atai]Coureix>	you.
[02:05]	* [Atai]Coureix	looks between the both of them for a few seconds, then points to Patricia.
[02:05]	* [Ora]Patricia	whispers to Trillian.. "Do you know who she is? I don't recall another maid besides us."
[02:06]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Your shirts are going to get burned if you don't get them out of Cleaner Unit 3. It's been malfunctioning for the last 74 seconds.
[02:07]	<[huh]Trillian>	No fucking clue.
[02:08]	<[Ora]Patricia>	We don't have Cleaner Unit 3.. Coureix. It's been malfunctioning since the boarding of this ship. Only 1, 2 and 4 are working.
[02:08]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Not since Tuesday.
[02:08]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Explore a little more.
[02:09]	* [Atai]Coureix	's grin takes on a truly disturbing level of manic glee.
[02:09]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Who knows what you'll find.
[02:09]	<[huh]Trillian>	So, Coureix, what's your position on this ship?
[02:09]	* [Atai]Coureix	skips out of the room.
[02:09]	<[Atai]Coureix>	Bye~
[02:09]	<[huh]Trillian>	...or not.
[02:10]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Should we apprehend her?
[02:11]	<[huh]Trillian>	Nah. She doesn't seem like she
[02:12]	<[huh]Trillian>	's trouble, in any case.
[02:12]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Should we at least get to know her, where she came from, why she's on here...
[02:14]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Forget it.. I'm here to make food. What would you like Master? I know my cooking's not the best but I'll do what I cna.
[02:15]	<[huh]Trillian>	Eh, I'm up for anything.
[02:20]	* [Ora]Patricia	makes some beef stew. It turned out to be alright.
[02:21]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Here you go master. I hope this is better than last time.
[02:21]	* [huh]Trillian	tries it.
[02:21]	<[huh]Trillian>	Yeah.
[02:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	It's great, actually.
[02:24]	* [Ora]Patricia	luckily made a portion for herself as well.
[02:25]	* [Ora]Patricia	sits down and takes her time.
[02:25]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I can't help but worry about that girl... what do you think?
[02:26]	<[huh]Trillian>	In what way? I don't think she'll break anything.
[02:30]	<[Ora]Patricia>	She's just.. I can't quite put a word on it.
[02:30]	<[huh]Trillian>	Crazy? Cracked? Nutty? Loony?
[02:30]	<[Ora]Patricia>	You could say.
[02:31]	<[huh]Trillian>	I do say.
[02:32]	<[Ora]Patricia>	But if you are fine with the girl wandering about the ship like that then I leave it to you.
[02:33]	<[huh]Trillian>	Well, more than that...
[02:33]	<[huh]Trillian>	I couldn't track her down if I wanted to, i think.
[02:33]	<[huh]Trillian>	I say we see what she does for now.
[02:33]	<[huh]Trillian>	Isn't it more interesting that way?
[02:34]	* [Ora]Patricia	sighs.
[02:34]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I suppose so.
[02:38]	<[Ora]Patricia>	And... SHE ATE MY MUFFIN!
[02:38]	<[huh]Trillian>	Your muffin?
[02:38]	<[Ora]Patricia>	The one she was holding earlier.
[02:38]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Yes.. my muffin.
[02:39]	* [Atai]Coureix	Somewhere, in a distant part of the ship, someone giggles.
[02:39]	<[Ora]Patricia>	It had a P.C initialed into the bottom of the muffin.
[02:40]	* [nfty]Aris	wanders into the kitchen "Ohh, that's terrible. Stealing food is the worst thing you could ever do!"
[02:42]	<[Ora]Patricia>	You. You have no right to say anything about this yourself.
[02:42]	<[huh]Trillian>	Ah, Aris.
[02:42]	<[huh]Trillian>	We have a new, or old, as it were, crew member.
[02:43]	<[nfty]Aris>	New, and old? So, uh, like an old maid?
[02:43]	<[nfty]Aris>	A new... old maid.
[02:44]	* [nfty]Aris	scratches her head "And I don't steal food. I just... appreciate it more than most!"
[02:45]	<[Ora]Patricia>	That muffin.. I actually took the time making it, using the best ingredients found on this ship.
[02:47]	* [Ora]Patricia	mumbles some more about the blood and sweat went into that precious dessert.
[02:49]	* [huh]Trillian	is busy with stew.
[02:55]	<[nfty]Aris>	Mm, looks like Trill is enjoying your cooking. Good job!
[02:55]	* [nfty]Aris	smiles and gives a thumbs up, perhaps more than a little teasingly
[02:55]	* [Ora]Patricia	gives Aris a drop dead glare.
[02:57]	<Kiri>	Oh, everyone's here. Greetings.
[02:57]	* [kiri]Cornette	just finished her menial tasks and arrived here.
[02:58]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I saw someone I don't recognize passes me by not too long ago. Did any of you know who she is?
[02:58]	<[huh]Trillian>	Oh, that's the new old kid.
[02:58]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Huh?
[02:59]	<[nfty]Aris>	Apparantly... she was here and we never noticed?
[02:59]	* [Ora]Patricia	lifts her head up.
[02:59]	<[Ora]Patricia>	None of us are sure.
[03:00]	* [nfty]Aris	puts a finger to her chin. "Well... I guess she could have been sorting stuff or even in hibernation?"
[03:00]	<[kiri]Cornette>	There's like, million of peoples in the navy. I can't possibly remember them all, can I?
[03:03]	* [nfty]Aris	shrugs. "Well, there aren't *that* many people on this ship, I think."
[03:04]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyway, it almost seems like she's from when this was a civilian vessel.
[03:05]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Oh my. That would be troublesome.
[03:06]	<[huh]Trillian>	Anyway, she can't be military, I brought nobody with me excepting you guys.
[03:07]	<[kiri]Cornette>	She looks harmless, though.
[03:08]	<[huh]Trillian>	You call her psychotic grin harmless?
[03:09]	<[kiri]Cornette>	...for now, anyway.
[03:10]	<[huh]Trillian>	For now.
[03:10]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'm keeping an eye on her.
[03:10]	<[huh]Trillian>	Do that.
[03:11]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I'm fine with anything.
[03:11]	* [kiri]Cornette	is pretty laid back.
[03:11]	<[huh]Trillian>	Well, if she tries anything, we'll deal with it then.
[03:11]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'll make her pay for going off with my muffin...
[03:11]	* [Ora]Patricia	grins evilly.
[03:11]	* [huh]Trillian	spins in her chair.
[03:11]	<[kiri]Cornette>	What's in the fridge~
[03:11]	* [kiri]Cornette	rummage rummage
[03:11]	<[huh]Trillian>	Of course you will, dearie.
[03:16]	* [kiri]Cornette	got a cup of instant noodle.
[03:17]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Huh... I think this is not supposed to be refrigerated.
[03:17]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Anyway, hot water hot water~
[03:17]	* [kiri]Cornette	search for some water boiler.
[03:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	It tastes as good cold as it does at room temperature, so it's fine.
[03:17]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Blame Aris for that, she couldn't tell what's cold from hot even if laid out in front of her.
[03:18]	<[nfty]Aris>	Hey! That is completely not true!
[03:18]	<[nfty]Aris>	Just sometimes I'm so hungry, you know?
[03:18]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Sure.... sure you are.
[03:18]	<[nfty]Aris>	... it is pretty bizarre that there's a cup noodle inside the fridge though.
[03:19]	<[kiri]Cornette>	It's still edible, so it's alright.
[03:19]	* [kiri]Cornette	pour some hot water, and then sits patiently. Waiting for the cup noodle to be ready.
[03:19]	<[nfty]Aris>	you just might need a little more hot water, I guess. Or wait longer.
[03:21]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Everyone ate something already, I suppose?
[03:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	Well...
[03:22]	<[huh]Trillian>	Aris? Have you had enough?
[03:23]	* [Ora]Patricia	smirks after hearing Trillian's comment.
[03:26]	<[nfty]Aris>	Hm? Yeah, I ate a lot. Even I have limits, Trill.
[03:26]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Ah, okay. Then I don't have to make an extra.
[03:28]	* [kiri]Cornette	is focusing at the cup. Waiting for the 3-minutes counts.
[03:31]	<[huh]Trillian>	Right. Don't want you to go hungry is all.
[03:31]	* [nfty]Aris	relaxes on one of the benches, pulling out a candy bar from a coat pocket for a second before putting it back. "Well, I'm always prepared for a hunger emergency, you know."
[03:32]	* [huh]Trillian	grins. "I'm well aware."
[03:33]	* [kiri]Cornette	, seeing that the cup noodle is ready, begin to eat. With manners.
[03:37]	<[nfty]Aris>	... noodles like that are more of a snack, anyway.
[03:37]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I'm a light eater.
[03:37]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Like your candy bar there Aris?
[03:40]	<[nfty]Aris>	Yes, well, it's not like those kinds of noodles were supposed to take the place of a full course meal!
[03:41]	<[nfty]Aris>	You know, with sides, appetizers, dessert...
[03:41]	* [kiri]Cornette	wipe her mouth with a handkerchief. The whole cup takes, roughy estimation, 2 minutes.
[03:42]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Thank you for the food.
[03:42]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Of all the time I've seen you eaten, it was never a proper meal...
[03:43]	<[kiri]Cornette>	We don't have that luxury, do we? We're soldiers. We eat to revitalize, not to have pleasure.
[03:43]	<[huh]Trillian>	We were soldiers.
[03:43]	<[huh]Trillian>	There's a reason I'm retired now.
[03:44]	<[nfty]Aris>	Well, you know, an army moves on its stomach. Nothing beats a great meal to raise morale and all!
[03:45]	<[kiri]Cornette>	But I don't really feel like eating something extravaganza...
[03:46]	* [nfty]Aris	shrugs. "I guess I have a seperate stomach for stuff like steaks."
[03:48]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Anyway...
[03:48]	* [kiri]Cornette	finished cleaning the stuffs. She also clean the cup and store it somewhere, just in case.
[03:49]	<[kiri]Cornette>	What are we going to do? I feel... how can you say this.....?
[03:49]	<[kiri]Cornette>	...Targetless?
[03:49]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Without missions, I don't really know what I should do.
[03:50]	<[huh]Trillian>	That's the feeling of freedom, Cornette my lad.
[03:50]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Even an uptight like me found a way to relax.
[03:50]	<[huh]Trillian>	Even so...
[03:50]	* [huh]Trillian	brushes her hair back.
[03:51]	<[huh]Trillian>	Maybe we should keep ourselves busy.
[03:51]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Like finding that girl.
[03:52]	<[kiri]Cornette>	I'll assist you.
[03:53]	<[huh]Trillian>	Good, see? That's a fine project for the day.
[03:53]	<[huh]Trillian>	Have fun now, and don't get lost.
[03:54]	* [nfty]Aris	gets up. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to find out what she's up to.."
[03:57]	* [Ora]Patricia	is still eating..
[03:57]	<[Ora]Patricia>	You go on ahead, I'll catch up in a little bit.
[03:58]	<[nfty]Aris>	Mmm.
[03:59]	<[nfty]Aris>	I guess I'll see you in a bit, Pat.
[04:00]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Go ahead fatty.
[04:01]	* [kiri]Cornette	stands up, but somehow reluctant to leave.
[04:02]	* [nfty]Aris	makes a face at Patricia as she turns back to her meal, bleah.
[04:02]	* [nfty]Aris	looks over at Cornette. "Something wrong?"
[04:05]	<[kiri]Cornette>	N... nothing.
[04:05]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Take care, Trillian. I'll be going.
[04:05]	* [kiri]Cornette	leave after Aris.
[04:05]	<[huh]Trillian>	Bye, you two~
[04:09]	* [nfty]Aris	searches for the strange maid with Cornette at her side, even though the ship is pretty large, Aris quickly is able to locate Coureix and head towards her location.
[04:11]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Eh? You know her location already?
[04:11]	* [kiri]Cornette	said that as she walks alongside Aris.
[04:11]	* [Ora]Patricia	finally finshes her meal and places it in the sink then goes back sitting down.
[04:12]	* [nfty]Aris	winks at Cornette. "I have my ways."
[04:12]	<[Ora]Patricia>	I'll wait on cleaning the dishes until you're done.
[04:13]	<[huh]Trillian>	Oh, I've ben done for a while now.
[04:14]	* [huh]Trillian	passes over her bowl.
[04:15]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Would you like some desserts? I think we should have some Flan left in the fridge.
[04:15]	<[huh]Trillian>	Oh, excellent.
[04:17]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Now if you would wait just a second to put this plate up, I'll get some for you.
[04:17]	<[huh]Trillian>	Sure thing.
[04:21]	* [Ora]Patricia	takes Trillian's bowl/plate, puts in the sink and looks through the fridge for the flan. "Hm.. found it!"
[04:22]	* [Ora]Patricia	takes one for herself too and Trillian.
[04:23]	<[Ora]Patricia>	Found these in the last batch of spoils we found.
[04:24]	* [Ora]Patricia	enjoys her Flan slowly, savoring every bite.
[04:27]	* [Atai]Coureix	walks by at a corridor junction some several hundred feet ahead of the other two maids searching aimlessly for her. She pauses, waves, and continues on her way.
[04:27]	* [Ora]Patricia	looks at Trillian strangely. "Are you going to eat yours or what?"
[04:27]	<[kiri]Cornette>	is that her?
[04:30]	<[huh]Trillian>	Wha- oh, oh yes.
[04:30]	* [huh]Trillian	starts eating.
[04:34]	<[kiri]Cornette>	Well... you're up.
[04:34]	* [kiri]Cornette	nudge Aris up front.
