USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Maggie stared at Keira for a moment before shrugging. "Sure," she agreed. "You're the...talk-y one, anyway." She'd always found the...host...body...thing a little unnerving, but she was more than willing to let the social stuff slide. Within her own department, Mason could get a little feral, sure, but outside of it? She never wanted captaincy, and was more than willing to let someone else take the job. "Let's just, uh—avoid it, then. Be all aloof and shit. Sure, works for me," Maggie continued, shrugging again and folding her arms. She glanced around the room, raising her eyebrows. "I'm headin' down there, anyway. Need to check out their markets, see if there's any replacements for the server boards. Any other suggestions for the ground team?"

Maggie narrowed her eyes at the datapad before her before setting it down on the table. She'd like to wait for Kal to show up, but dammit, the woman could read and if she was spending her time bashing in Mallory's head somewhere...well, that was probably more productive.

Iorus II Mission

IORUS II
Desert planet. Little water. Few settlements on the ground are centered around large oases or aquifers. Main colony is Intrepid, at the north pole, with mining colonies scattered around—under the planets surface are vast cave networks, rich with valuable metals. Some evidence of a subterranean species has been found, but as there is no conclusive evidence, species is assumed to be extinct.

ASSIGNMENT
Visit the mining colony of Haven, near the equator, and meet with Foreman Bryce. Pick up the scheduled package of metals and deliver to Station Yankee III in the Yukon system.

(Addendum: Try not to start any bar fights this time. Lieutenant Rama, miners are friends, not food. -Admiral Roth)

"Should be a simple pickup," she said cheerfully. "Down to the mining colony, grab the goods, pass 'em over to some station a few star systems away, then piss off again. Captain ain't here, so it'll be a breeze as long as we stick to the story—Ray's off on some diplomatic shindig with Union officers, classified, blah blah blah. Questions?"

@Experiment 249 'i hit on a supersoldier and all i got was this stupid t-shirt'

Maggie slouched into the meeting room just after Annalynn, and immediately flopped into a chair, kicking her greasy boots up onto the formerly pristine table. She was flicking through a datapad, organizing requests to engineering into 'shit for later', 'time wasting shit', and 'actually look at this shit.'

"Mission briefing," she grunted, before realizing that was...sort of out of nowhere. "Iorus II mission is coming up, we need to decide who's going and who's cooling their heels on the ship."

"Uh," Maggie said intelligently. Few people asked her for orders. Even the babies down in Engineering usually just had commands yelled at them, they didn't ask for more. "Don't you have work to do? If you really wanted to, I guess you could go through the Captain's missed messages, sort them by priority—" Mason sighed, running a hand through her short, chopped hair as she headed out of the server room and toward the lift. "Ask somebody else, kid, I have no clue what the Admin staff is supposed to be doing right now."

@Experiment 249 hmm...good question. definitely weapons, seeing as there's a war going on, and ship parts from all the blown-up craft floating around in the Warzone. im also thinking illegal augmentations—dangerous stuff that drains batteries way too quick or burns out your nerves/brain over time but it's also crazy powerful—that were developed and leaked but ultimately banned within civilized Union space. in that same vein, probably some black market aug battery packs that can give you a quick, massive boost, but draw on calories almost immediately.

anyone else have ideas?

"HA!" Maggie yelled, hitting the server block with a fist for good measure. She'd finally gotten the damn thing working again—the overheated or broken motherboards had been replaced with some questionable soldering, bits of wire, and duct tape, with enough coolant to drown a rhino thrown in for good measure. They'd have to actually make repairs and replacements soon, but not just yet.

Dusting her hands off and sticking her tools back in the bag on her hip, Mason glanced over at the Zenohunt who was...still here? For some reason?

"Good idea restricting access," she said absently, before blinking and looking around at the newcomers. "Wait, shit. Where's the StelCart guy—right here, okay, that's convenient. What's your name—Tornado? Conair? Conado, that's it—Conado, how close are we to Iorus II? I want to get a department meeting in before we have to go groundside." She looked back to Skydawner, raising her eyebrows. "You can get everybody together in the meeting room, yeah?"
