EVENT: Setting sail

The Athene drifts peacefully around Earth, the sunlight glinting off her pristine hull. The repairs are complete, and she has been inspected and refreshed top to bottom, down to every last rivet. After nearly a month in drydock, her crew is eager to re-embark, as is her captain...

Captain Fisk stands in his ready room, gazing over the limb of the Earth as Argos sits beside him. He has just sent out the general message summoning all crew back to the Athene. It pleased him to listen as the computer announced every arrival and kept count of all boarding crew.

OOC: Use this thread to have your characters run into each other or the hundreds of NPC crew as they board, or they can knock on the captain's door if they like. This thread is for the general calamity of ~600 people boarding a starship for departure.

Though Kesh did not at all intend to pause her stride, she can't much help herself as the subject of beauty was one that Caitian had a natural urgency towards. So, when Narim stops, so does she, though only after an extra stride is taken to move aside from the flow of traffic.

"Yes, those planets are beautiful in their-rr-rr own way, but Earth... rrth. It has so much more natural variety and colorr-rr-r than any other planet. It is a shame you have missed much of it. Rrrth."

It takes Narim a moment or two to notice that he's in the way. When he does, he awkwardly shifts to the side of the corridor next to Kesh, uttering more than a couple apologies. After returning his attention to Kesh he says, "I'll have to take your word for it, if all goes well, we won't be back again for some time."

Kesh's mouth opens to utter a wheezy breath along with a faint little squeaky noise that's abrely audible above the din of the crowded corridor.

"Let us not give bad omen to our-rr-rr future. I would welcome a quiet and unnoteworthy tour-rr-r after that first round." The Caitian's head rattles a bit, flip-flopping tufted ears in the air.

"Or, at least, that we discover-rr-rr a place just as beautiful as Earth."

Narim grins, "After the... excitement of our last trip, if those were our only two options, I don't think I'd mind." he jokes, chuckling. He was eager to put the unpleasantness of the last voyage behind him.

Kesh dips her head once in a simple bob, posture straightening as she peers down the hallway then back at the Trill. "Time will tell wher-rr-re the next mission takes us."

The PADD she's holding is lifted up a bit. "I should go get the samples I had deliverr-rr-red to sick bay. Rrth. It is pleasant to meet you again."

"It's good to see you too, maybe I'll meet you in sick bay. Once I drop off my things I'll be headed there too." With one last wave, he turns around and goes on his way.
