USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Maggie's head popped out from behind a block of servers, and her eyes narrowed. "Leave the kid alone, Rocky—sorry, Lieutenant Rocky," she growled (to be fair, growling was her default voice). "Ain't her fault that everyone's been using the Extranet nonstop for the last two days. Or the message app. Jesus, if you're one deck away from me, you can come talk to me, Krugers—"

Her rambling continued as she ducked back in, hissing as she burned her fingers on overheated boards. She stuck a hand out behind her, wiggling her fingers invitingly. "Hand me the coolant and some q-tips, will you? Can you get finger burns? No, of course you can't, come here and be useful."

aaaand we have our head of sciences! and with the nickname 'bolts' i am suddenly seeing maggie and annalynn being 'nuts and bolts' to the other department heads, because maggie is definitely the 'nuts' of this equation

Maggie had the sandwich halfway to her mouth when her datapad chimed. She paused, looking over slowly, when the chimes started to sound every few seconds. Snarling curses under her breath, she leaned out of the way of the flood of crewmen to the replicator and snagged the pad, bringing it over while she chowed down and made her way out of the caf.

Attached files...administrative head being a bitch as usual...server crash...blah, blah, blah, the ship was falling to shit because they lacked proper leadership, she KNEW, alright? Mason sighed, sending off a quick reply to Skydawner—heading to server room now, going to try and reroute power, meet there pls—before changing her course. The server overload was just one more thing on her list of shit to get done, and fast—a panicking crew was a crew that broke stuff. A lot of stuff.

sort of! i was thinking that between mason and the other department heads, they'd sort of agree on things by majority rule, since they're all commanders and outrank almost everyone but themselves. commander mason just likes to boss people around usually, but she also has no interest in making the tough calls on her own, so the 'council' arrangement was agreed upon. good question, ill add it to the header post!

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Bang. Bang. Bang bang bang—

It had been two days since Captain Ray had vanished, and Commander Mason had been working on this damn machine for just as long. Half of her was deep into the guts of the main replicator, her legs sticking out into the air. Technically, this shouldn’t be her job—there were a few junior engineers who were passably skilled—but dammit, crawling around in machines was stress-relief, and the whole damn crew was stressed. Everything would be back to normal soon, though, right?

Bang bang bang bang bang crack.

With a satisfied shout, Maggie pulled out of the replicator, rolling up her tools and wielding her wrench like a trophy. The replicator started whirring again, all of the lights that had previously been red showing up green. Packing her things away with one hand, she input a command with the other, and by the time her tools were away, the makings of a truly glorious BLT sandwich were before her.

“Munch away, kiddies,” she called over her shoulder to the hungry assembled crewmembers, eyes alight with unholy glee as she started putting together a sandwich fit for a king. “But stay the fuck away from my sandwich or I’ll have your doorbells playing Space Jam at three in the morning.”

Yup. Things could go right back to normal.

@Experiment 249: looks good! the idea of a black market trader being on the ship 'in disguise' actually makes sense—the Audacia is low on the totem pole, so their replacement parts have to come from somewhere, right? just remember that some items are still extremely rare, even to the black market. looking forward to bringing him in!

@datadogie: interesting concept! im liking the 'ultimate support' position. we'll see how this goes!

im going to post the IC starter in a bit, so keep an eye out!
