The Fated Fallen

The Trident For Nautrias [Underwater Sci-Fi]

I think after you post, we’ll wait for @The Fated Fallen to get a post in.

@Headhunter

Thanks for thinking of lil' ol' me!

The closest to a set of clothes that Uruna wanted to get to was a piece of kelp wrapped around her bare breasts because they were, according to some human males, 'too distracting'.

@baraquiel

Too lewd!

@The Fated Fallen My friend gave me the entire book collection for the Witcher series, so that was awesome!

@Headhunter

Hey! I've read a few of those, I wouldn't say they're everyone's cup of tea but I really really liked them and I hope you do too!

@baraquiel I'll have Amelié strut over to Aruna if you're alright with it, it makes sense a Xenobioligist would have interest in a Quirina considering how unique they are

@Headhunter heya! happy birthday!!! sorry if I just posted my character today; college just started and I'm already stressing out xP

Just to be sure, is the current location of the group above ground? Will there be a place there for those like Uruna who can't walk and can't breath out of the water?

@baraquiel

In the tank with the band? It might get a bit loud though...

Veritas Lux Mea

"We're gonna be fine. Ansgar can't speak worth a damn but he knows his way around ships." Andrea paused and shot a look at Kev. "Don't tell him I said that."

The Nakan held up his hands defensively and shrugged, trying to hide his grin. The pair of them got along better than either of them would ever admit. After the initial panic the general mood amongst the crew had transitioned into relief, everyone in the know knew it could have been much much worse. There was still the mystery of who set them up to solve which meant the captain would be knocking some heads together when they reached port until a culprit fell out. Speaking of knocking heads Andrea had gone back on comms to begin tearing Angsar off a new one about his circumspect business ethic.

Kevej left the two love-birds to it and responded to his own comm, from the ship's esteemed medic; “Mister Vin'Akali, I would suggest you perform a bow to stern sweep of the ship’s air quality to ensure no harmful chemicals have escaped into the ventilation system. With the Captain’s permission of course.”

Kevej shook his head, the damned formality. He spoke haughtily to the air in front of him, his comm muted. "Ah yes, thank you Mister Varthus for the suggestion, what a most splendid day for a bloody great explosion my good sir." he shook his head, took a breath and keyed the comm on;

"Kev to Kai'mos, I've run it through a couple of times and it's on it's third pass, just to be sure. Not that I object at all, but I assume by the fact you're telling me how to do my job that means you don't have any casualties to deal with yourself?" or at least if there was anyone out of action they would be in safe hands. Kai'mos was as stiff as a board but he knew his business.

Kevej was always awkward around the Ithlo in person and he could never put a finger on why. Whether it was the strangely tinted skin and hair or the constant 'professionalism' that was usual in Ithlonian culture. Kevej found it odd that his life had left him less socially capable of talking to aliens that his species had known for generations than the newcomer humans.

The first-mate considered going down to the mess to keep an eye on their passenger, but thought it maybe better to stay at station. Just in case something big popped up. Besides, it seemed to Kevej this kind of situation was probably an everyday thing to a judge, and likely wouldn't need any help

Doctor Amélie Sellens

Dr. Amélie Sellens

Name: Doctor Amélie Dorothy Sellens

Age: 26

Race: Human

Profession: USS sponsored Xenobiologist

Appearance:

Equipment

Specialty: Miniature Drones

Equipment:
- Two 'Pixie' drones, modified to work underwater. The Pixie model is very small, power efficient and mobile
making them perfect for long term observation, though they can be re-purposed for other tasks. Can be
controlled manually or given rudimentary
instructions.

Hider

- Advanced Scanner, or "Datacorder". Used by everyone from healthcare workers to bomb defuses these devices are
a staple of any expedition
- A very expensive and high quality civilian issue Sonic pistol, in perfect condition (read: never been used)
- PDA datapad

Personality

Personality:
- Even amongst her colleagues Amélie is described as 'professional'. Only a few people have ever really gotten
close to her emotionally
- Loves to talk about her work and others, whether it's the latest text on the void-gliders near Xxattra V or
the new line of Pixie drones (which obviously aren't as good as the the previous model). Unfortunately this
leaves her quite awkward around people who don't understand these things
- Has no history in violence and despite being directed to practice with her sonic pistol before leaving on
this expedition never actually did so, hoping she'll never have need to use it
- Comes from a rich family, which paid for her education. She has a stiff accent and bearing which gives it
away

Backstory:

Amélie has never really struggled, whether in studies or life. She was born into privilege and given every advantage, and has flourished. Her name and standing were cemented when she wrote 'The definitive Guide to Droquillan Biology and What it Means to YOU' completely out of coincidence a few months before the species joined the USS, some 7 years ago now. Originally meant to be just her graduating text it became a hit best seller as the political situation unfolded on and off the planet, despite only mentioning anything to do with the conflict in the foreword.

Unintentionally Amélie had become the household name on the Droquillan species and devoted the rest of her study towards the topic for the next few years, eventually becoming a Doctor and publishing the text 'Nautris: The Great Blue Mystery' despite never having stepped foot (or submerged one) on the planet. It was a text on eco-sphere and a touching on local culture. It would once again be released perfectly timed and sell amazingly well as a few months after publication it was announced 'The Trident' was approved and green-lit.

Given her recent string of success in the field she was approached by the USS Navy and met by Rear Admiral Gildeon Omarkei, where she was brought onto the initiative in an advisory capacity, briefing the operatives and developing understanding of the planet and it's inhabitants. Despite not wanting to leave the comfort of her lab for the confines of a stuffy space-ship she knew it would be career-suicide not to follow this opportunity.

Although she has technically served with The Trident since its launch she is only making planetfall on this second year, now that the situation beneath the waves is a little more safe (if not stable). Her reaction to this is mixed; on one hand she wants to keep herself safe but on the other hand she wants to make sure her book and legacy is as accurate as possible.
