Popping a second piece of ginger candy from her bag Cara turned into the small alcove where the turbolift access was. Of course she was on deck 29 instead of the shuttle bay on deck 4 where her quarters would be. The ship was massive. With any bit of luck the man in the shuttle bay was right and maybe this time she’d finally get used to traveling at warp speed. Until then, she would have to deal with it. She pressed the call button for the lift and stepped back waiting for it to arrive. When it did she waited for the two officers inside to step out and then stepped onto the lift, “Deck 4.”

Lt O’Farrell

As the door slid closed, it wa suddenly stopped with a THUNK as a truly massive green hand and the cuff of a gold uniform suddenly appeared between it and the recess it was trying to slide into; with no luck at all. As the retracted… retreated?… from the barrier, the lift doorway now framed most of a gigantic figure. Over seven feet tall, their shoulders were as wide as the turbolift doorway. In fact, they turned sideways and ducked slightly in order for their hairless green head to clear it and get inside the lift; their sheer size moving Cara to the far side. The face on the head looked way down, and they smiled. In a voice more reminiscent of thunder, or maybe a rockslide, the figure said “Hey. How are ya? Sorry, these things get crowed when I get on.” and they looked at the wall and said “Deck 4.”

Mardusk, CoS

Cara swallowed in dread at the THUNK thinking it was the precursor to the ship doing some weird thing with the warp field. When there was no actual feeling of her stomach rebelling she sighed with relief and then noticed the hand. Someone wanting on the lift. She moved to the side out of politeness and then was moved to the side out of sheer necessity. Cara looked up and up and then up a little more. Whoa…the Sidhe were alive and well and here on the Atlantis. Who knew? “Ireland has 40 shades of green, Lad, and wouldn’t you luck out, you’re my favorite.”

Lt O’Farrell, CNS

The big green figure smiled and, looking at her hair briefly, said “And who woulda guessed red is my favorite color? I guess we both win today. We’ll make quite the pair at Christmas… won’t even have to dress up.” and he chuckled. He held out his hand and said “Mardusk, Security Chief. I’m guessing your the new Counselor, right? Lt. O’Farrell?”

Mardusk, CoS

“Oh that’s good, I hate trying to come up with costumes. Guess we lucked out again.” She took his hand, which dwarfed hers, but she didn’t seem to be phased by it. “I am, and I’m guessing that lady boarding the shuttle after me was the last counselor. What did ya’ll do to run her and the previous one off in less than 3 months? Call me Cara by the way. Nice to meet you, Mardusk?”

Lt O’Farrell, CNS

Mardusk chuckled. “First one married the guy that owns the dive bar here on the ship. Second was her twin sister, and she decided that a change of scenery was necessary and went to be closer to her twin sister. So.. third time gonna be the charm? And yeah, Mardusk. Gravel. Hey you. Any of those and few vulgar ones that I won’t mention to a lady without knowing them are what I answer to.” He then realized he hadn’t let go of her hand and let go as the doors opened. “Uh, yeah… after you. You know where your quarters are?”

Mardusk, CoS

Her eyes widened, “Oh trouble in paradise then? She didna wanna stay with him on board? Or did they both leave? And a twin? They tend to be closer than most siblings. Hope the fella is okay with that.” She paused, back tracking, “A dive bar? On a Federation ship? I will have to check that out.” She glanced at the PaDD, after he let go of her hand, sucking on the ginger candy for a moment, “4210,” she looked at the nearest corridor marker, “Nope, no idea. This ship is a bit massive.”

O’Farrell, CNS

Mardusk looked at her and said “Fate again… neighbor. Follow me.” He led her down the passageway and said “I’m in 4208, right next door. And yeah, its a big ship. But surprisingly easy to navigate once you get your bearings.” He stopped and turned in front of her and looked down at her. “This is you.” He jerked a thumb behind him. “Thats me, next door down. I’m coming off shift. If you want a tour or anything, feel free to come by. And if your luggage gets mixed up, maybe I can lend a hand.” He held his hand out to her and said “Nice to meet ya, Red.” and he grinned and winked.

Mardusk, CoS

Fate? Cara shook her head and followed the man down the corridor. “Well I may have to just go get lost and hope I find my way.” She actually had to lean to the side to see past him to the door he indicated as his. “A tour sounds great, ifin my stomach settles.” She eyed the gold uniform, there were other colors that went better with the India Green. “Enjoy your evening, Malachite.” Cara turned and palmed the door lock. The doors swished open, she stepped in, “Lights” and instead of her 3 moving crates, there were eight, five marked for ‘enlisted mess.’ “Bloody thick pup!”
