Lounge

"...U...Urgh...fuck..."

Rakiri wakes up with a groan, lifting his pounding head up from the table. As long as he'd been drinking after learning the trick to consume alcohol without hurting himself, he'd never had a hangover. Suffice it to say, it wasn't a good.feeling.

With a bit of effort, he stands, grabbing the depleted bottle and chucking it into then trash before wandering the hall.

His mind was a mess of thoughts, most of them.centered around a certain humanoid. The point of him drinking was supposed to be to get his mind off of him. Funny how that works...

"...Grrrraaagh!" he lashes out of at the wall, fist sparking with energy, striking it hard. "What the fuck is wrong with me..."

That was a pointless question. He knew what was wrong. He just didn't want to acknowledge it. He was lonely. Seeing Jiko and Lex only helped solidify that thought in his head, not that they'd done so intentionally. And circumstances like the war didn't help either. He didn't exactly have time to sit around thinking about emotions beyond survival. It might be a warped view, but...the war was an much simpler time for him in his life and now that it was over...he was stuck with annoying thoughts and feelings that just made him want to punch something. And then hold that said something down and show it as much affection as he could.

"...Fuck puberty." he says in annoyance. Tired of wandering, he looks up, thinking he's made his way to his room, but what else would he see but the name "Mitch" displayed on the door...tight along with "Dominic" of course. That was part of the problem...

Hesitating, he slowly raises his hand to hit the switch to open it as he notes its unlocked.

Dammit...just...do it... He mentally chastises himself before he opens it and steps inside.


Bridge

"You're doing good, Michael. Don't worry so much." Greg insists, taking a seat in his chair, leaving a space for Chris to sit if hr wishes, and brings up the planet database to try and find some info.about where they're going.

At hearing Alex come in, he glances over. "Oh, Hey. Mornin'." He says cheerfully.

Dominic & Mitch's Room

When Rakiri opens the door, Mitch immediately wakes up from his slumber and gets up, earning him quite a bit of pain from the sudden movements. Apparently he'd rigged the door to alarm him in some way. He then looks at Rakiri.

"Oh, it's you. You look like crap. What're you looking for? ...Wait, that's a stupid question. I already know the answer." Mitch taps an empty spot on the large bed he's lying on to invite him to sit. He's only wearing underwear again, like last time.

??? - Central Core?

Dominic continues looking around, slowly walking towards the conduit and console. He tries to see what's on the latter and sense just how much and what kind of power is inside the former.

Mitch and Dom's Room

Rakiri stands at the door for a bit, looking away a bit at Mitch's state of dress before finally going over and sitting where Mitch indicates. "I...I probably shouldn't be here, but...fuck it, I'm here. Sorry for waking you up..."


Bridge

"It's going good." Greg says with a smile. "Just looking up.some info on our destination before we get there. Better to have some knowledge doing in, ya know."

"Eh, it's alright." Mitch says, his expression a bit more somber than usual, though there's still that air of friendliness and energy. "I'm guessing you're not here to take up my offer." He says half-jokingly.

Mitch and Dom's Room

Rakiri actually chuckles a bit...until a sudden surge of pain tells him that wasn't the best idea. "Well, I don't know how wise that would be in my current state...but..." Fueled by the liquid courage he was imbibing all night or perhaps...something else entirely, he leans over and attempts to kiss him, if he allows it. If not, he'll awkwardly pull away before continuing. "I wanted to see you. Talk to you for a bit, really."

Greg continues waiting as the word "LOADING" continues flashing across the screen. "Not just yet.

Mitch kisses back, surprisingly gently for someone with his looks. "Someone's got feelings." He teases Rakiri, putting a hand over him to comfort him. "What is it exactly you wanted to talk about?"

Mitch and Dom's Room

"Well...you kinda hit the nail on the head, actually." Rakiri says, scratching the back of his neck. "I might be stubborn, but I'm not dummy...I do have some feelings for you. Strong ones. Denying it would just be...stupid." He starts. "But, I also know you...don't really like the idea being limited to one person..."

He sighs and looks forward at the wall. "Little known fact about Echireans: When we find someone we like, we have a bit of a tendency to get...attached. But again...you don't want that, I'd imagine, and hence this stupid conflict going on in my head..."

He pauses and looks over at him now. "Sorry...this is probably just weirding you out or something. I can go..."

"True enough. So, how dis the salvage go anyway? Ger anything worthwhile?"

Chris happily makes his way over to Greg, squeezing into the seat beside him. It was a rather tight fit, not that he minded, and he rests his head down on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around his waist. He looks rather tired, but cheerful, almost beaming, with a flush of red still in his ears from earlier.

He looks over to Alex, smiling, "That's a great haul."


???-Central Core?

Lex follows Dom, while holding onto Jiko's hand and rubbing it lightly. She's not certain what the purpose of this is, but she can't shake the ominous feeling she's having for whatever reason.

Med Bay

Merrick looks unimposed upon by the three restful dreamers, though Rylans fever does worry him. He quietly heads over and carefully injects him with a naproxen sodium solution, which should regulate his body temperature.

The Bridge

Michael nods and takes the seat again, a little weary of the metal he hit his head on.... That really did hurt and went to resume piloting. Greeting Alex but is a little distracted as he regains his piloting bearings.

As Greg looks at the console and it finally finishes loading you can see the following, with some notes made it seems Michael who had already started looking up information about the location in advance.

====Lyca Binary Star System | Sector B3-416====
(X) Stars: Lyca-Major and Lyca Minor.
—>Close orbiting binary
—>Blue Giant and White Dwarf
(X)Seven planet system

—>Iriden: Close military & trade relations

(X)Government: Parliamentary Council
—>Current Chairwoman: Illysa Renole

—>Total # of executors: 70 / 71
—>Addendum: Two colonial ambassadors!
—>User notice: High levels of governmental bureaucracy!
—>Addendum: Non-evasive public surveillance laws in effect!

Notice! Limited planetary access. Planetary registration or executor authorization required! Estimated waiting time for bureaucratic paperwork: 3 months! Recommended surface to planet by pre-registered shuttles on Lyca Orbital Station!
—>Security blockade enforced by Type 4 OLAWC defensesnote and Hestian Frigates!

Description: The beautiful and well maintained world of Nos Lycarin is covered by 85% water. Its main settlement: The Shard Starport contains over 2.4 million residents of over sixteen different species as permanent residents. In addition it hosts at any time up to 8.4 million additional residents, travelers, merchants and scientists. Established by the Acarni Corporation and privately funded this world keeps tight control of its visitors and population to maintain order, ecology and a overall level of wealth for its residents. This includes multiple initiatives to prevent the spread of toxins in the atmosphere and water by preventing unregistered ship access, security checkpoints to help maintain local peace and social security programs to allow all the amenities and rights granted by the White Gold Amendment!

The world has a large and powerful mostly free market houses state of the art technology, wears, medical treatments as well as all the various goods and services expected of major trading worlds, allowing the buying and selling of most goods as long as the licences are purchased and registered with Shard Trading and Employment officials. Its primary financial backing comes from the sixteen major research corporations and the numerous smaller institutions that make outposts here.

??? - Central Core?

Going over to the console it is distorted and unclear. However with a little focus on screen becomes a rather detailed and accurate description, detailing and biography of Jiko. With addendum about observed behavior with Lex. The level of detail and accuracy is high enough to warrant it only being knowable by contact with GRAHAM; who are mentioned for contracting sleeper agents and mercenaries after him.

The kind of power is most certainly psionic, even in the console. There is no doubt there. For the amount? It is staggeringly large, enough the Troperia could theoretically run on it for some time with some spare. Though most of it seems to be diverting away from this away, almost like its being forced through a narrow opening; slowing the flow.

The room for a few moments goes bright and fades back, some of the inky blackness in the cracks seems to pop and seem back into the wall slightly...

Dominic & Mitch's Room

Mitch listens patiently to Rakiri. "...I see. Funny thing, actually. I've had something like this before... with Dom." He sighs before continuing. "I can see very well why Mikhael married him. He's not just kind; he knows what you need, even if you don't like it sometimes. Me, I keep just a little bit of distance since it'd be weird if, say, I had the same husband as my own brother. But we're still close, all of us. And then there's Val." He chuckles, but with a tinge of sadness.

"Probably should stop before I start listing all the people I've slept with. It wouldn't help you. As for the two of us, well, what do you want? We can work something out. You don't need to worry about me taking advantage of you or anything. I'm very loyal to the people I care about. It's why I've kept all of them close for so long."

??? - Central Core?

Dominic looks over the console and reads its contents. Based on that and the nature of the conduit, he puts two and two together. "So... I'm guessing this is Rylan's mindscape, or a representation of it. If he actually has the kind of power I'm seeing right now..." He trails off. He's still calm, but it's apparent from his words that he's at least somewhat apprehensive and anxious.

"Looks like this place isn't very stable." He says as he notes the distortions. He tries to check and use the console to see if he can access any other information.

"What I want..." He pauses, thinking. "...Well...can I...stay here with you? I don't think I can make it back to my room..." he says, looking at the floor bashfully.

"Here we go." Greg nods and puts the information on the main screen so everyone can read it.

Chris manages to stifle a joke about how wonderful Lyca VI must smell once the gravity of what the consequences of this mission might be sinks in. "We...we don't have to worry about the Orbital Long-range Anti-Ship Wave Cannons"and Hestian Frigates, right? I mean, we have all our shit together? Or are we..kinda screwed?"

???-Central Core

"If he has this kind of power...I hope we're on his good side...or get on his good side..." she examines the screens displaying things about Jiko, more than a bit weirded out, "Given how he's collecting intel..." she lets the sentence hang in the air and pulls Jiko close.

The Bridge

Micheal frowns. "Well Rylan seemed pretty confident that we could land so I assume he or is brother has arranged something. I guess otherwise we land at the space-station and shuttle down..."

Haven - Central Core

Interacting with the console, it flickers and flashes before in a title format the words "The Haven" appear before being replaced by seemingly corrupted images, words and phrases begins to pour over it. "Observation."; "Utopia"; "Project Ascension"; "Pain"; "Help"; "PRISM"... Being some of the only words that could be made out as well as a number sequence "0221163". The images too broken to understand.

Near to the console however something seems to have materialized. Sheathed, a pair of long four and a half feet long, cool blue plasma edged blades with clear psionic imprints. Engraved with the names Rin and Ren.

Michael shrugs. "We might as well ask what he had planned. Shuttle down would be a pain if we want to restock supplies or deal with all the scrap we picked up. Once he wakes up of course, he looked pretty bad when we took him to sick bay. I'm more than willing to stay if we do leave a crew though." He says with a genuinely worried tone as he pilots. Seemingly alot more confident now people are around incase he screwed up.
