@Mistress Dizzy

Hi there! A team therapist would be very interesting! Raymond keeps a lot of things locked up, so having someone trying to figure him out would make him pretty distant hahaha

Tango can be anywhere on the ship, and be doing multiple things, but he really enjoys to be in a physical form (he's a bit older and worn down from his time, and his eyes don't have pupils, they just glow blue). He can hold a conversation, he can be a bit oblivious and blunt, and he also has some speech patterns programmed into him since he's Committee property. For example, whenever Raymond walks onto the Bridge, he stops, salutes and faces him while saying "Captain on Deck!"

But he does remember almost everything, and has a basis of feelings and emotions (as much as an AI can)

@Hailfire

Yes, like Akaya said, we will always accept nice dudes who show interesting, and thanks btw for being interested!

Zero gravity would be cool, and interesting to play around with on a planet especially! But a field engineer, a navigator, a linguist, the possibilities are endless!

The Monroe is mostly run by us, and almost all of the little things are done by Tango. Ray, usually helps maintain the ship, and for as long as 8-Ball has been around, he's also been helping.

People can take control of Tango btw!

Raymond was surprised he was able to get a hit on the ice bird. Up close the thing was much more menacing. Its "feathers" looked like slabs of solid ice, a pale blue. Its gray beak was cracked where the glove made impact, and its eye was bleeding where Rae shot the arrow. Ray didn't leave unharmed, though. His right arm was throbbing in pain, his vision was blurry, and his whole body ached. He couldn't stop now. "You heard the doctor, no killing." Raymond panted, tapping his comms system. "I hope this really goes to ground breaking findings, Nathan." Ray added with a bit of bitterness. Ray had known the doctor for a very long time now. when he found out about why he was put in prison, Ray was a bit uneasy, but he was smart, and although he isn't much of a fighter, he has saved the crew on many occasions.

Raymond was running alongside Nathan and Rae, and in the distance he saw Talley running, and distant screeches. The group kept running until the blood chilling screech erupted from the forest. The bird was awake. As they arrived at the shuttle, Ray had a lot of questions in his mind. A group of fluffy ape-chickens surrounded the shuttle. Before Nate could even think about asking for one, Ray pulled out his revolver and shot a round into the air. The fluffy creatures all jumped with a scare, and turned to face them, ready to attack, until the ice bird screeched again. The creatures obviously knew what the bird was, and started to scatter, running away from the shuttle.

Ray opened the door to see Talley already waiting inside, and in his lap was one of the creatures. "What the hell is that thing?!" Ray yelled, closing the shuttle doors as everyone was in, and climbing over to the pilot seat. He pressed a few buttons, and pulled a lever and cussed under his breath. He tapped on his comm link again. "Shuttle to Monroe, the piloting system didn't survive the temperatures. 8-Ball, I need you to fly this thing manually back. Giving you full control of the systems." Ray got out of the chair, and went to a window, seeing the bird taking flight and scanning the area.

"Cassie, keep that thing distracted! Its missing an eye and I socked it in the face earlier. Doesn't look like it'll leave the atmosphere. Worst case scenario the Monroe fires on it from above. Stand by fire team." Ray turned off the comm and looked at Rae, Nate, and Talley. "Next time we go on a survey mission, don't touch foreign nests!"

Although he was running for his life through snow, he made sure to listen to every voice on the comm link. He managed to take cover behind another tree, smirking a bit. "Watch your tone, Talley, our big friend might beat you to it. Copy that Monroe, do not engage the target. We are on its turf, it's protecting itself. Do not kill the hostile until I say otherwise, that includes you, Cassie."

The screech the bird gave could make ears bleed, and when Raymond peered around the corner he soon realized why. An arrow was in its eye, and it was even more mad than before. "Good shot, Doctor. And copy that, ground team get back to the Shuttle--"

The bird focused on Raymond's voice and sent a gust of wind and shot towards the ground, straight for Ray.

The captain was staring at his fate head on. He was cold, and tired, and beyond scared. But that fear was good. There was a story his mother always told him when he was a boy, hiding from his step dad while he was in a drunken rage. The gods of War and Love, Ares and Aphrodite fell in love, and Aphrodite gave birth to Deimos (fear) and Phobos (Panic).

"Every time you go to war, Aphrodite, and her children are always there. You fight for the ones you love,because you're afraid of losing what you have. And although war is terrifying, and will never be easy, you will always be a fighter, Ray. It's okay to be afraid baby. You're so much like your father... please don't ever stop fighting."

Raymond got into a stance, fighting back the wind as the glove on his hand hummed to life. As the beast got closer and closer, Ray thought of his sister, his mom, all the people he lost during his time in the military, all the people he lost while serving as Captain... he thought of butting heads with Talley, and trying to teach Poker to Makobi and everyone else who liked a game of luck, he thought of helping fixing the Monroe with 8-Ball and testing weapons with Kaite and Cassie. He thought about Rae and the way she would give Ray one of her rare yet beautiful smiles.

At the last second Raymond's fist made contact with the tip of the giant beak. A huge bass-y sound erupted, pain shot through Raymond's hand, but the power and force of the glove dazed and bird and sent him sideways, crashing into the trees. Ray flew backwards, the snow breaking his fall. "Ground team, move!" He managed to say as he stumbled up, seeing the bird in a massive mess of trees, snow, and dirt. He trudged through the snow, knowing the ice bird won't stay down forever. They had to leave now!
