Tide leaned back in the chair, the cheap plastic creaking ominously. "No problem Doc," he replied, "I'll just open a window." Trying not to smile at his own bad joke, he leaned forward to rest his elbows on the table, meeting Nicki's eyes for a moment. A very brief moment. Somewhere, deep in his animal hindbrain, a little warning alarm was going off. Blissfully unaware of why he was doing it, Tide allowed his gaze to wander over to the other members of the crew.

He started trying to slot people into their roles. Medic: check. Pilot: the harrassed looking woman surrounded by files had to be Caelum Jameson, check. Angry psychopathic prisoner: che... yeah, that probably wasn't on the roster. Tide gave up at that point, and instead reached down and hefted his pack onto the table. It was something of an old relic, made of thick gray canvas, and covered in pockets that fastened closed with buckles and straps. He could have replaced it with something better - maybe something that was actually waterproof - but he'd grown rather fond of it over the years.

"I've got some of them pills in here somewhere," he mumbled, pulling random bits of clothing and equipment out of his pack. "You know, the ones that stop you wanting to smoke. Can't seem to find 'em though. Oh well, it's not like I'm gonna go apeshit it I can't have a cigarette." [i]Crap. I'm gonna go f'kin apeshit if I can't have a cigarette![/i]

As he dug deeper into the recesses of his pack, he pulled out a scratched and battered looking communicator. It was pulsing red along one edge, and beeping softly. With a quick glance in Caelum's direction, he quickly stuffed the device back into his pack, and dropped it onto the floor. "So, anyway. I'm Tide. I'm probably here to carry stuff" he said with a wry smile.
