Cmdr. Avik (XO) in Transporter Room-Hidden Agenda : : : [snip] : : : : : : With the CNS speaking of guest quarters, Cassidy nodded. “If you’ll follow me, we’ll get you settled.” : : : : : : : : : : : : Cassidy and one of the other security officers moved out of the transporter room, letting Nox exit with their guests. Abrams simply glanced at the CNS but said nothing for the moment. She was feeling cautious and alert though. : : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Abrams, Security : : : : : : : : : : : : : She didn’t like that Erikson was hiding something. For the moment though, she allowed everything to flow as though she had no suspicions. She exuded compassion and kindness. Knowing it was working on Cait, perhaps it would soon work on Erikson. She followed behind the guests and as they exited the Transporter Room. Looking as though a thought just occurred to her, she turned to the newly appointed Captain. Quietly, she asked, “Captain Erikson, I was wondering if I might have a moment?” : : : : : : : : She paused in the corridor, indicating that he should do the same. : : : : : : : : Nox, XO : : : : : : Damien and Evelynn were the first to step away from the group. The wife held tightly to her husband’s side as she walked carefully, her eyes silently absorbing the sights. Quietly she leaned up on her toes to whisper in Damien’s ear. He frowned a moment then gave a soft resigned sigh. He patted her arm then reassured her. : : : : : : “Yes dear, when we get into the quarters,” He smiled fondly at her. : : : : : : She smiled then pulled back onto her feet soles while they followed their guide. Cait took a bit longer, glaring at Erikson a moment then she followed. : : : : : : “I was wondering if I could help your engineers in their efforts to repair our ship. If that’s possible? Who would I need to talk to?” Cait asked Abrams, a bit of concern in her voice. : : : : “We can pass along your request to our First Officer or Captain. I’m sure they’ll be able to talk to you more about that,” Cassidy said with a reassuring smile. : : : : Damien gritted his teeth a bit but remained silent. : : : : : : Meanwhile, Erikson started to follow the others when Nox’s voice caught his attention. Pulling back, he began to fall into place beside the counselor. : : : : : : “Yes? Something wrong?” He asked nervously. : : : : : : -Janice B. : : : : “Oh no!” She allowed herself to blush and smile. “I just wonder if there is anything we need to know about your crew to better serve them? Any special needs?” She let herself walk slowly with an unassuming air. Maybe he would let something slip if his guard was down. “Also, they seem rather snippy and I was just wondering if it was their natural group dynamic or if they are just especially upset due to the circumstances.” : : : : Nox, XO

Erikson relaxed, letting his shoulders relax. His eyes glanced at the retreating group that seemed to ignore him as they walked away, unbothered by his absence. He sighed a bit then turned to Nox.

“Not that I’m aware of but I’ve not really worked with these individuals for long,” he answered truthfully. His head lowered a bit as he continued, “I believe they disagree with the fact I didn’t fight off the pirates. Instead, I locked us up in the bridge and waited them out.”

There a hint of hesitation woven in his words.

: : Cassidy walked along to their destination, keeping her attention on the various goings on around her. But she kept her demeanour friendly, since they were trying to help these people, even if things seemed a bit off. She couldn’t look into the one variable until later anyway. “You seem eager to get to work. I bet you’re the person who rarely sleeps,” Abrams said casually to Cait with a light grin.

“Naturally, the ship won’t run herself smoothly all the time and someone needs to be up to clean up the messes,” Cait said proudly as she continued to keep pace with the others.

Briefly her eyes darted over her shoulder to see if Erikson was following. Tension bundled into her shoulders and muscles upon spotting him not with them, but she didn’t comment on it. It appeared she didn’t want to draw attention to it.

“Sooo… when are we going to get the ship up and running then be off? I want to present when you work on her,” Cait asked.

Sienna watched as he relaxed. While he still wasn’t telling her the entire truth, this was far more of the truth than he had ever given. She nodded and tried to smile reassuringly, turning to continue walking slowly. Her eyes briefly met Cait’s but she simply continued smiling softly, not wanting to make the woman more tense than she was. By the way Erikson called his crew “individuals”, she believed they had not been a crew long at all. It was possible he made a decision besides locking them away until the pirates left that had them frustrated with him. For now, she would not push.

“I am afraid I do not know what the schedule is for repairing your ship. Our main concern was the crew. Once you are all settled, I am sure the Chief Engineer will come speak with you about time table and list of necessary repairs.”
