“Yes,” he said, turning in his chair to look at her. “I gave one of those standard ‘it’s nice to be working with you all’ type speeches too. I figured that’s the most I should do right now… you know, because I think technically you’re the one in charge? I mean it’s your crew anyway.”

She grinned as did the other crew. “That I am, Johann. That I am.” She turned her seat to look at her console. “We have about two days before we reach the area of space we are traveling to. I figure during that time, we will make sure we have everything we need and get to know one another a bit. Obviously, I have worked with these three before, but none of us have actually worked with you. Mind if we ask you some questions Johann?”

Everyone seemed relaxed and mildly interested in the conversation.

Nox, CNS

“Sure,” he said simply. It was a very casual way to start an operation, but it made perfect sense considering that he was the odd man out on this one.

“Ask away.”

She nodded and finished approving the course set. Their pilot began navigating them through stellar traffic and she turned from the console to look at Johann. “Favorite color, preference for food, motivation for being here?” Sienna seemed serious and completely unphased by the random line of questions. She figured Johann could roll with them well enough. While she was pretty sure she knew the answer to all three, it would be good for the others to know him too.

Nox, CNS

Just like school, he thought. Still, he would just roll with it. He might even have fun with it - he wasn’t in charge, and that let him feel like he could be a bit more free with his responses than usual.

“Green, Italian, Roaring-Rampage-of-Revenge to rescue my wife from another dimension.”

Roz laughed heartily and smacked Elwood’s arm with the back of her hand. He simply nodded. Baxter smiled softly and shook her head, deciding to call out the elephant in the room. “The one that looks, acts, and basically is identical to our Siennadye?” She asked, pointing to Nox.

Johann did an awkward sort of nod to this. It was an obvious elephant to call out.

Sienna pressed her lips together for a moment and looked back at her console. Italian food was a favorite for both Siennas to cook. When they had spent the year together in her dimension, they had bonded over that particular thing, cooking with each other and expanding their skills together. “Not quite identical but we both make a mean lasagna.” She said with chagrin.

“Hell yeah you do… or rather, I know you can from personal experience… I don’t know about the other Sienna. Please tell me you brought some with you Captain? I could go for some of your Italian about now. It has been months and I am wasting away.”

“Um, no I didn’t bring any; this op was thrown together in about an hour. Besides, I haven’t had any for um… multiple years now. It’s kind of the problem we’re trying to solve here.”

He was able to joke about it outwardly, but under the surface there was seething that Sienna would immediately register. Not like anything she ever knew her old captain to feel.
