Cherche smiled a bit. [color=violet]"Monkey, huh? Heh. Well, fair enough."[/color] She accepted. She had just called him an ant after all. She looked at the secondary control panel. [color=violet]"Well, let's see here. It's a lot of new things for me as well. Some things are the same, things I'm sure anyone with extended experience in the Myrkith Naval Service would still have a tough time with. I'm sure you didn't have to deal with this, but you seem like you can learn quick."[/color] The woman tapped on a couple of buttons and sat down in the chair of what would become her station. [color=violet]"As you know, we've developed energy weapons, correct? Well, we can do a couple of things with the ship's core. We have the ability to allocate power from one system to another. For example, if we're in a fight and get attacked from the rear, we can allocate shields from the front of the ship to the rear. Likewise, if we need to focus on destroying something, we can focus the energy on the weapons. Don't worry though, we still have ballistic weapons your people prefer."[/color] Cherche seemed intent on making sure Erka had an idea about what was going on. [hr] Harisa was busy working around the Engineering Bay. The ship's core was completely stable. Definitely stable. Everything else seemed to be mostly in order. All the electrical sockets they'd need... Some cleaning supplies, chemicals... This was good. Good, good, good. She need to grab the last bit of boxes from outside. The door was open and... What was that? A person? Looked rather fashionable. Curious, she made her way over to the entrant. [color=teal]"Pardon me, you're... Wait, a moth? Oh. I think you... Actually, do you belong here?"[/color] She asked, curiously. Her eyes rushed to the moth fluff though. [color=teal]"Though... I can't really resist... I'm sorry."[/color] The woman's hand moved out and brushed against the moth fluff gingerly before the taking a better feel. [color=teal]"I've never felt anything so soft. Become my fluffy plush toy."[/color] She added, wanting to push her face into the soft fluff. She then kind of realized what she was doing and pulled back. [color=teal]"Oh! Umm, sorry. I didn't... That is, uh, welcome to Engineering. Did you need to go somewhere else? I can't think of where a moth would go on here."[/color] [hr] Jess was happy enough to be remembered. [color=green]"It's not breaking and entering if there's nothing to break. You left it unlocked. I thought you learned by now."[/color] She added, smiling at her old friend. [color=green]"You know, if you want to drink don't let me stop you. Makes it easier to take advant-- Errrr... Get away with stuff."[/color] She teased. Rank meant little to her. Despite her being the Head Engineer, she was also the only human that was non-military. All the Myrkith were, though she was not exactly sure about the elves that were suppose to join them. [color=green]"How's the captain life? Survived the Elf planet I see."[/color] She teased again. She looked at the wrist fastened device she had and noticed, [color=green]"I believe there are some elven guests. Some nice little toys. You can do a lot with these things. Think you should talk to the pointy ears cause they're just standing there."[/color] Unfortunately for Jess, she only had view on the hallways and Engineering Lab. Private Quarters were off limits for... Personal reasons.
