Slowly take a look at what he's working on. As sneakily as possible.

>>24279545
Mumble something about decabulators, reverse ionic pulse thrusts, and other sufficiently techy terms as we get up.

Don't peek at the project, he is trying to make it a nice surprise.

>>24279622

use Einstein to get a better look at what they are doing

>>24279622
Yes, this
"Don't worry, I won't look." grumble mumble waking up overrated grumble

>>24279545

it would be rude to spy on his project, let's extract ourselves with a good portion of the pillows and go get a shower or something.

keep Sigma's message in quarantine and transfer it to a different console if we do want to examine it.

>>24279545
Be tired. Then suddenly wake up with the realization that the hull might have arrived.

>>24279545
Just stay there being comfy for a bit. Maybe message some people.
Sigma: "You'll have to do better than that to get at the stash of the great Pirate King Heather!"
A basic update to Luna that Jilly seems back to normal and thanks for telling us what to do when we didn't know what was going on.
We haven't messaged Damien's little sister since we got her address I don't think.
And what happened to that traffic control guy.

>Write an entire post
>Suddenly consensus turns all the way around. Thanks.
First thing you do is message Luna, and give her an update and a thanks about Jilly, and next you write up a response to Kat's message. Then, grumbling and mumbling, you sit up on Sarvesh's back, peeling off the pillow. "Morning. Don't worry, I won't look."
"Alright." Sarvesh said, and set down the device. It was large enough that you'd have troubles carrying it, but Sarvesh's pincers didn't seem to have a problem. You felt one of his lower arms pat you on the head.
"Morning." He said. "How are you feeling? You passed out last night talking about reverse ionic phase pulses. Which... aren't a thing, I don't think."

>>24279699
"They are, actually. Something about stars, I think." flurgle, "You've coffee?"

>>24279699
"Well, I'll *make* them a thing."

>>24279699

>nonsensical scientific mumbling is a sign we stayed up far to long.

"we stayed up THAT late huh?"

>>24279699
what of course they are I juts got to invent them first

"i am off to get some breakfast"

>>24279699
"They will be! Anyway, I'm feeling good. I didn't think anybody could be more comfy to sleep on than Summer. Maybe if I used her instead of the pillows on your back..."

I'm a much better writefag, but here.

>>24279713
"Wait, stars?" grumble "Sleep is the enemy, bromobenzene ion gas-phase." shake head in an attempt to clear it, "coffee?" *puppy eyes*

"They are, actually. Something about stars, I think. We stayed up that late, huh?" You mumble. "You've coffee?"
"I've coffee." He responded, twisting around his entire torso. It was always eerie, seeing his torso facing his own abdomen. It felt like it was someone's head pointing straight backwards. He had a mug in hand. "And we stayed up until about four AM." He said. "And when you fell asleep, I got you some pillows so you would be comfortable."
"I'm feeling good." You say, take a deep drink, and stretch. "I didn't think anybody could be more comfy to sleep on than summer. Maybe if I used her instead of the pillows on your back..."
"You started to complain in your sleep when I stopped working." He said, and chuckled. "It was almost as if the sound of ratchets lulled you to sleep. Also, your hull came in."

>>24279699
"Not yet they aren't.

Coffee please? You're very comfy and warm, I slept really well."

Give him a hug.

>>24279749

"I like mechanical sounds, grew up around them. They're comforting."

Give Sarvesh a long hug. "Now let's see my new hull."

>>24279768
Leap out of Sarvesh bed, run towards the hub full tilt.

>>24279768

"what can i say, i was practically born in a worksho-... did. did you just say what i thought you said?"

and when he repeats we set off hyper Heather.

>>24279749
Well it's better than I could do.

>>24279768
Hullelujah!

>>24279768
Run to it.

Embrace the hull like a long lost friend.

>>24279768
"Where is it right now? I no longer need to eat."

"What can I say, I was practically born in a worksho-.."
You pause. "Did... did you just say what I thought you said?"
You're about to spring off of his back when he chuckled, and with a flash of blue light, your ears popped, and suddenly you were in the bay where you'd planned to make your ship.
Sitting in one of the corners, wrapped up tightly, huge crates sat. Crates full of polycarbon steel, a more flexible alloyed fullerite frame... It was your hull!
"... Heh, we could probably get started now." Sarvesh said. "Omnissiah's directing the maintenance drones here. Sorry I'm not good enough to teleport those, too. But I *can* teleport in some food if you want it."

>>24279856
"If you can supply the food I can build!"

Rolled 63

time to descend into a haze of technology.

Rolling for technopathic miracles.

>>24279856
Shhh, no words. Only dreams now.
And by that I mean get to work.

>>24279856

"that would be great!" fawn over the crates for a bit, message ALL the people that our ship hull has arrived.

maybe in an excited but soft voice since people might still be sleeping.

>>24279856
"Can you teleport it straight into my stomach?"
Time to tech.

>>24279856
'Accidentily' project excited ravings across station.

Then enter tech fugue and begin shipcraft.

>>24279856
"Yes, food. I am probably going to forget to eat if not reminded.

It's going to be beautiful Sarvesh, absolutely beautiful."

Excitedly run around a bit before giving Sarvesh a hug and some kisses and giddily bouncing off again.

>>24279856
"Oohyohoyh."

Open every crate simultaneously with TK.

>>24279856
"What is this food you speak of? We've no time for distactions, the first ship of Pirate King Heather awaits building!"

"If you supply the food, I can build!" You say.
"I can also supply the tools." Sarvesh said, and with a flash of light, a plasma welder appeared.
"Can you teleport it straight into my stomach?" You ask, vaulting off of his back and taking the welder in hand.
"... I don't think that's a good idea." He said, unstrapping the pillows from his back, as they vanished into blue light. "You should... at least chew."

With your will, you tear the top of every crate open, with a loud rending noise, and you quickly pull them open, laying your eyes on the colorless grey polycarbon hull.
"The frame comes first." Sarvesh said. "Then the insulation, then inner frame, inner plating, life support, outer plating..."
You shush him by giving him a hug and a kiss on the carapace. "It's going to be beautiful, Sarvesh, absolutely beautiful!"

An hour later, you were inexplicably covered in grease, once again working in your pajamas, while Sarvesh held up one of the massive alloyed frame pieces, as you welded it into place, the maintenance bots holding up the other frame pieces. Once those were done, Sarvesh let go with a huff- even he was getting tired.
"Let's... let's go eat, and then go to class." Sarvesh said. "... You... you will go to class, right?"

>>24279905
This one.

Everybody needs to know that we're building our ship RIGHT NOW. It is the most important thing.

>>24279958
"Food? Classes?

These concepts do not make sense to me."

>>24279958
>"... You... you will go to class, right?"
sigh, I probably should.

>>24279958
"mumble mumble. yea... I should also clean up"

>>24279958
Look at him confused, and then go back to work.

>>24279958
"Oh yeah, class..."
Now we are a sad Heather, for we can not finish what we have started.

>>24279958
"What's class? What's food? There is only spaceships.

I'm kidding. I'll at least get some food with everyone. Not sure about class."

Go with Sarvesh to get food. Don't change out of our grease stained pajamas, we do our best work in them.

>>24279958
"Both are alien entities at this current moment."

Let's use technopathy to control the drones and keep them building whilst we're eating and class-ing.

>>24279958
"But... my baby?" puppy eyes 120% attack.
"...fine." And then sleep through class because tired from working on ship

>>24279958

we really should get to class

see if we can remember to get cleaned up and properly dressed.

>>24280017
Screw that, we should be staring into space and doodling pictures of spaceships and design diagrams in our workbooks.

>>24279958
"Yeah I probably should... But I don't want to!"

>>24279958
"Class is for suckers without spaceships. So proclaims Pirate Warlord King Heather!"

You look at him, rather confused.
"Food? Classes?" You ask. "What are those? There is only spaceships."
Sarvesh continued to look at you, then crossed his arms.
"But... my baby." You say, pouting at him.
His expression didn't change.
"But..."
"... Heather, you need to eat." He said. "If you don't, then I'm going to finish the ship myself, while you have to sleep, and you won't have the chance to work on it at *all*."
"... Fine." You say, grumbling, and you make your way to your room to take a shower. When you come back out, Sarvesh had strange saucer-shaped pieces of chocolate. You bit into one, and there looked to be a bread layer under the chocolate, and sweet jam core.
"More centaur food!" He said, as Summer padded out of the room, yawning.
"Morning!"
"Feel free to have one." Sarvesh said, and tossed one to her. She nommed on it.
"Thith is good." She said.

>>24280117
>GODDAMNIT. This is me.

>>24280117
Eat it the centaur way! (using TK)

>>24280117
"No talking! We gotta eat faster so we can get back to work!"

>>24280117
"thanks its great!" change into jump suite so we can run back to the ship after class.

>>24280117
He resisted the pout, that's impressive.

"Thanks for taking care of me.

Summer, I'm making a spaceship!"

>>24280117

sheepishly say

"thanks, Sarvesh."

then turn to Summer and tell her all about our new soon to be space ship.

seems the pout won't work on someone who is genuinely concerned about us.

>we name our ship the "Golden throne"
>which Omnissiah can plug in to.

>not a serious proposal but sort of fun.

Rolled 21

.... I have an idea on how to both go to class and work on the ship at the same time. The drones. Use the drones, become the drones. BE the drones.

oops dice

>>24280117
"Thanks Sarvesh. I hope the classes won't be long today."

>Guys I have a Dave David Davidson idea: What if we turn Devourer into first Zerg and make him reproduce? We could control the swarm with our psi powers and therefore we would have an army.

>>24280238
we don't have any control over him whatsoever

>>24280238

except we have no control what-so-ever over him.

"Thanks for taking care of me." You say, biting into one.
"Of course." He said, and started shredding his own saucer, as the three of you made your way to the cafeteria.
With it in mouth, you turn to Summer. "Summer, I'm making a spaceship!"
"Hooray! any way I could help? I could manifest mechanics! Or, um, try to!" She said, grinning up at you. "Is that why you're wearing a jumpsuit?"
"So I can run back to the ship after class."
"Not wasting any time, huh." Anna said, as the three of you entered the cafeteria. Sarvesh tossed her one of the saucers, and she frowned at it.

>>24280238
That is not a Dave idea. Dave ideas were bad. Sometimes they were suicidal. But I don't think they ever threatened to end all life everywhere.

Besides mind control sounds more a telepathic power....

"Eat it! Don't tell your father. This is a day for celebration!"

>>24280267
"Ish goob!" nom nom nom

>>24280267
"Try it! It's good.

And are you really surprised? You should come down to the bay and help out. All of you!"

>>24280267

"try it, if you don't like it I'll sacrifice myself and eat instead"

>>24280267
"These are really good. You should try some."

>>24280267
Eat it. You have to be full of energy so I can use you later.

"Ish goob!" You say, and inhale one. "Eat it! Don't tell your father. You have to be full of energy so I can use you later."
"... Use me?" She asked, and bit into it experimentally. "You always make things in layers."
"That's how we tend to like it." Sarvesh said. "The bread is made of waffle batter, and the rest is sweetened for those with taste buds."
"And are you really surprised. You should come down to the bay and help out. All of you!"
Anna raised her eyebrows.
"You're really fired up, aren't you?" She asked, and giggled. "Sure, I'll help. I'm... not very good at it, but I've made repairs now and then. You should really be asking Damien, but he's sleeping in, I think."
With a puff of black smoke, Rho and Theta appeared, and Rho scampered to the kitchen to grab some food.

>>24280353
"It's here! It's finally here!"

Don't bother actually explaining.

>>24280353
"Well I'll wake him up!"

<DAMIEN. DAMIEN WAKE UP. DAMIEN WE NEED TO BUILD MY SHIP.>

>>24280353
"Hey guys! I am building a space ship want to help? I know you already want to."

>>24280353
"I'll ask Damien when he wakes up." Then shout out to Rho and Theta "Hey, you guys wanna help me build a spess ship?"

>>24280353
"yous goobin ish goob sharby" nom nom nom nom
"Rho, Theta, I'mma making a shippie!"

>>24280353
"Rho, Theta, you two have been conscripted into my crew, I am the Pirate Queen Heather and you shall assist me in making my Spaceship!"

>>24280393
>Pirate King Heather
ftfy Anna's the Queen

>>24280393

>FTFY

>>24280353

ask how Theta is getting along with everyone.

"I'll wake him up!" You say.
You close your eyes, and reach into Damien's mind, and yell at him to wake up.
"Rho, Theta, you two have been conscripted into my crew!"
"Your crew?" Theta asked.
"I'm the pirate queen heather, and you shall assist me in making my spaceship!"
"I can't." Theta said. Today, his eyes were bright orange, and he almost looked broader than he was. "I have more work to do with Lambda. It's not easy."
"I'll help! how can I help?" Rho asked, grinning up at you.
Damien stomped into the room, bags under his eyes.
"What." He asked you.
"I'mma making a ship!" You say, and take a bite out of the food Sarvesh had made you. With it in mouth, you grin up at Damien.
He just sighed, and sat down. "Yeah, sure, I'll help. But you'll owe me."

>>24280481
>"I'm the pirate queen heather, and you shall assist me in making my spaceship!"
>Queen
Dammit Exabutt, it's King.

>>24280481
<I'll 'owe'~ you one alright.>

>>24280481
"Deal! And Rho, you can help Sarvesh get tools, and food, and pieces of the frame, and all sorts of things!"

>>24280503
>Oh, right, sorry! Let me correct that.

>>24280481
>pirate queen
>King, even.

>>24280481
<And how can I repay that?>

>Captcha : may clitora

>>24280481

damn, he needs rest.

"sorry for waking you up, i didn't realize you were THAT tired"

we're getting maybe a little bit to excited.

>>24280481
"I didn't realize you were so tired! I'm sorry! I'll let you sleep."

>>24280556
Maybe a little.

"I didn't realize you were so tired!" You call. "I'm sorry! I'll let you sle-"
He suddenly lunged forward, and pulled you in a tight, tight hug, pinning your arms to your sides. Damien didn't say anything, he just... hugged you, his eyes closed.
"... Alright." He said. "I'll make my way to class after sleeping in a bit, then I'll help you with your ship."
He turned around and left the cafeteria. You turn to Rho. "And Rho, you can help Sarvesh get tools, and food, and pieces of the frame, and all sorts of things!"
"Okay! Will I be able to ride in it?" She asked, and stole one of Sarvesh's cakes.

>>24280614
"It should be big enough for everyone."
It is big enough for everyone, right? 'Everyone' has basically doubled since we designed it.

>>24280614
"of course"

>>24280614
"Everyone can ride in it! I designed it big and made it even bigger when I bought a better drive core!"

>>24280614
D'aww, I think he might be getting a bit attached to us.

"Of course you'll be able to ride it! Everyone will!"

>>24280614
"Of course!"
<Everything okay?> @TheD

>>24280614
"Can't have a ship without a crew! And I can't be a pirate king without a ship!

Free rides for everyone!"

>>24280614
"Of course you can! I made it big enough for all of us to make roadtrips!"

>>24280614

Damien looks and sound a bit troubled.

>>24280646
I've sorta been getting vibes he's really disturbed by what he had to do to get Lambda's head. We should probably set aside some time for him in the near future.

>>24280656
This, then blush when we realize what we just said and amend it to "free SHIP rides"

>>24280689
Naw.
Too hyped to pay attention to little insignifcant details like that

"Can't have a ship without a crew! and I can't be a pirate king without a ship!" You say. "I designed it big and made it even bigger when I bought a better drive. Free rides for everyone!"
"Hooray!" Rho said, quickly catching up to your enthusiasm. "I can't wait. Now we just gotta do classes."

Jilly came into the cafeteria, Sigma walking next to her, the two talking. Rho burst into smoke, and hugged both of them for a second, before going back to more Centaur cakes.

Just as tired as Damien, Alex lumbered into the room and grabbed some toast, ponderously buttering them.
"These are really really good!" Jilly said, biting into the cake.
"You're welcome."
"And, um, anyone know where Damien is?" She asked. "I have something to ask him."

>>24280781
"He just went back to sleep I'm afraid."

>>24280781
"I think he went back to his room to nap. He looked really tired."

>>24280781
"Just missed him!"
Giggle
"Spaceship! Heeheheheee."
omnomnom

>>24280781
"I just kinda dragged him out of bed with force. He'll be in the classes. Hey wanna join my pirate crew? We will ride the sea of stars, searching for booty!"

>>24280781

"he went back to sleep until class, he looked really tired. I'm a little worried."

"same goes for you Alex, you look like you played Futurecraft through out the night!"

>>24280781
"He went back to bed, he seems pretty tired today."

"I think he just went back to his room to nap." You say. "He looked really tired. I'm a little worried."
"Aw, okay."
"Same goes for you, Alex." You say, and turn to him. "you look like you played Futurecraft throughout the night!"
"Do I?" He asked. "I thought I slept well."
"Hey, wanna join my pirate crew? We will ride the sea of stars, searching for booty!"
"... I'm incapable of having booty, though." Jilly said. "Unless I got butt transgenes or something."
Rho started giggling.
"Sure, as long as I don't have to help build the ship." Alex said. "Mostly since I need to study today."

>Alex and Damien both really tired.
>Alex has 'something to talk about' with Damien.
>???
>buttsecks

>>24280974
"Studying is for scrubs!"

>>24280980
Nah, it's Jilly that needs to talk to him. Probably about massages.

>>24280974
"What are you studying? Study in the hangar where we're building it!"

>>24280974
"You should get sleep, Prometheus."

>>24281055
Spilling the beans isn't fun!

>>24280974
"Study? Don't be ridiculous matey! You are gonna be buildin' our beauty today!
But seriously what are you studying for?"

>>24281071
What beans?

>>24280974

"well, if possible I'd like everyone to pitch in, in some way to make this build special."

"maybe you could provide some encouragement?"
"maybe you can study in the hangar with us?"

we can learn while we build!

Uh, that's just the name he uses on the extranet.

"You should get sleep, Prometheus."
"No can do, Arcturus." He said. "Studying."
"What are you studying?" You ask.
"... For classes?" Alex asked. "Like... school?"
Everyone met eyes.
"... None of you study? At all? Do you even do homework?"
Nobody said anything.
"And you're all probably still doing well because 'lawl i'm psi-gick." He said, and grumbled. "Or maybe even the teachers don't even care."

>>24281110
"Pffft. I don't even look at my grade reports half the time anyway."

>>24281110
"They really don't care, they have the bare minimum of classes set up so this place technically qualifies as a school.

And when it comes to anything mathy or sciencey I get good grades without trying anyways."

>>24281110
"Hey, you're a psigick as well," pout and hug him.
"You just need to learn to control it."
Munch on a disc, "We should start training"

>>24281110
"Didn't the teachers tell you when you came here? The school portion is sort of just for legal reasons... I mean we'll probably end up maladjusted adults once we graduate because we won't know how calculus or whatever works but hey, psi-gick powers."

>>24281110
"Wait they didn't tell you? This is not school. This is just something pretending to be a school. They educate us just so we aren't behind in knowledge against normal people."

>I'd like to ask him if his shield is what's bothering him but I don't know if that is a good idea since it seems like rubbing salt in wounds.

>>24281110
"The Not!Teachers are more interested in research than anything.

It's the entire reason we're here, after all."

>>24281110
I study all the time, every time I build something I need to learn something new to make it work

"They really don't care. they have the bare minimum of classes set up so this place technically qualifies as a school." You say.
"Oh goddamnit." Alex said, and he threw his notebook at the wall, sighing and laying his head on the table. "I give up, then."
He let out a sigh.
"Um." Jilly said. "Your shield... it, uh, isn't there anymore."
"My what? My anti-thing thingy?"
"Yeah." Jilly said. You focus as well, and you can quite clearly sense his mind, with its eddies and flows like everyone's, instead of simply a featureless sphere.

>>24281110
Didn't he get around ten million as his share of the Ishelda mission? Dude's pretty much set for a good long time, not like he needs to worry about money for a while.

>>24281191
"Oh noes! Maybe you tired yourself out so much that you don't have the energy to keep it up?"

>>24281191
"Wait wait wait."
Lift him with TK to confirm it.

>>24281213
Don't just lift people randomly, we should ask first.

>>24281191

hold up, he doesn't want us to poke around in his head, let's stop it.

don't go and make him angry now!

"Alex I'm gonna lift you okay?"
Lift with TK

"Um, I know it's as personal as personal gets - but you should consider letting Jilly go through your head. She may be able to find forgotten memories and connect dots about your powers. I think there's a good chance you could get some real answers - or at least pointed in the right direction."

>>24281191
Are you feeling okay, Alex?
Do you need us to take you to the medibay?

"Wait wait wait. Alex, I'm gonna lift you, okay?" You say.
"Sure."
You focus... and start to lift him. And for a moment, he lifts entirely off of the seat, pushed up by invisible forces. He panicked, and yout feel his shield erect itself. His mind was once again a featureless sphere as he fell back down, your TK unable to grab him.
"Oh man." he said. "That was so cool! Do it again. And don't drop me so suddenly this time."
You try, and your grip just slides off of him.
"It's back again." Jilly said. "We can't do anything."
"... So, it went away when I decided to be done with something forever and give up." Alex said. "That's... good to know, I guess."

>>24281330
"I think, Alex, you just need to learn to relax."

>>24281330
This would be a good time to tell him about that dream we had.

>>24281330
So...friendzoning him...was helping him

my mind is full of fuck

>>24281330
"Well if it works anything like the rest of our psionics, you just have to emulate that state of mind to do it again."

>>24281345
We already did a while back.

>>24281330
"Done with what exactly, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Maybe if I get a closer look..."
Hold his head in our hands and examine his mind with Telepathy.
"Give up on something again, anything, and I'll try to watch what happens."

>>24281330
"I think you were just too stressed with everything so you unconsciously kept it up, and after... relaxing enough, you eased enough to let it go."
Hug him, "Now we can train!"

>>24281330
I think it more about you relaxing, and that you stopped stressing out rather than giving up

>>24281330

"it doesn't sound very good when you put it like that."

"maybe it works if you let go of something that has been bothering you?"

You know, there's nothing wrong with studying if you WANT to study. We all have our hobbies, after all.

"Well, if it works anything like the rest of our psionics, you just have to emulate that state of mind to do it again."
"Guess I should spend all my suddenly-free time meditating, then." He said. "Can you say anything zen?"
"There is no try, there is only do." Sarvesh said.
Alex snickered.
"What?" Sarvesh asked.
"Nothing, nothing."
"I think you were just too stressed with everything that you unconsciously kept it up, and after... relaxing enough, you eased enough to let it go."
"Maybe." He said. "That makes sense, I guess."
"You know, there's nothing wrong with studying if you *want* to study. We all have our hobbies, after all."
"Well, I was in the top thousand on Burer's Glyph. Grade ranking, I mean. and I kept that through studying. Not really sure why, even, but there's no point now. It's not like I enjoy studying."

>>24281349
Imaine what my suggestion would do besides making him feel shitty.

>>24281409
But think of all the cool stuff you know!

>>24281409
"If you make studying fun, there's no shame in enjoying it.
Maybe you should tell about this to doctors.

>>24281409

"maybe you could find something else to do. Perhaps... um, gardening?"

>>24281409
"Well, now you can look forward to screwing around with Not!Magic powers and getting paid disgustingly well for it instead.

You are getting paid to be here, right?"

>>24281409
"At least you'll have qualifications when you leave!"

"Maybe you could find something else to do. Perhaps... um, Gardening?"
"Gardening."
You nod.
"In space."
You nod again.
"Uh, I hate to tell you, Heather, but there are no plants in space."
"There's hydroponics out and to the left a few dozen degrees." Anna said. She shot him a grin. "Maybe you should study more."
You giggle.
"Well, now you can look forward to screwing around with Not Magic powers and getting paid disgustingly well for it, instead. You are getting paid to be here, right?"
"Yeah, I am." He said. "Okay, everybody, shh, I'm going to try, uh, whatever it is. Relaxing."

He closed his eyes, and you focused on his mind, feeling the shield to see if it was weakening. He took a deep breath.
"... I can't do it when everyone's all staring at me." He said.
"Performance anxiety?" Theta asked. "Don't worry, a lot of guys-"
Rho hit him in the shoulder.

>>24281538
Snicker a bit, then look away, but keep feeling for the shield.

>>24281538
Pffff.

Give him a shoulder massage. That will help him relax.

have theta do the massage.

>>24281538

"no need to rush it, just find place where you feel at ease and try it out."

"maybe get a message or something."

if he asks, we could give him a message but for some reason i doubt we'd do any good.

>>24281538
Whisper seductively into his ear whilst caressing his shoulders.

>>24281641
Seductive whispering will not help him relax.

>>24281641

going a bit to far there.

>>24281641
Look, I'm all fine with teasing Alex and such, but that's just plain cruel.

>>24281641
that's like the opposite of help

>>24281641
That will not help.

Let's just be friendly and reassuring.

>>24281538
"It's okay. You don't have to do it now. No pressure.
And I have a perfect hobby for atleast this afternoon : My ship! Since you won't be studying you have a plenty of time to help me."

>>24281670
And just incidentally bump his ears with our boobs, of course.

>>24281641
It's established that Heather is a tease, but that's taking it a bit too far.

You snicker, evilly.
"No need to rush it." You say. "Just find a place where you feel at ease and try it out. Maybe get a massage or something."
"By my guest." He said, and you put your hands on his shoulders.
There he sat, his arms crossed over his head, face down on the table, relaxing, while everyone else started filing out for class. You were going to be a little late, but it didn't matter much. Carefully, you pressed your fingers into his spine and shoulderblades while he sat there, and you felt his shield quiver, and slowly, very slowly, started to fade.
And then you quite clearly caught the thought that if you leaned just a bit more forward, you'd be pressing your breasts into his back.
And then you caught the thought that <did she hear that? Oh crap.> And the shield was back up.
"... Uh, guess I'm a bit too stressed still." He said. "I'll go to hydroponics like Anna said. Maybe I'll drag Jilly along since she can feel my mind and stuff, and tell me when I'm doing well."

>>24281641
Dude no.
>"We're just friends, it'd be weird to think of anything else, right?"

>>24281721
Snicker, ruffle his hair.
"Have fun Prometheus."

>>24281721
I think it might have helped, but it's hard to tell.
Maybe get Jilly to do one. You can relax around her, she picks up on everyone's leaking thoughts but is nice and you can trust her not to gossip.

>>24281721
press our tits on his back as we get up to sexy walk to class.

>>24281721
"It dropped for a second, but then you tarted worrying again.

Just spend some time in the garden, relax, don't worry about anything."

Press our breasts against his back before we saunter off to class.

>>24281721
"Alright. You had it down for just a second there."

>>24281721

"it seemed to work! but then it went up again."
"we've had a breakthrough! you should probably tell (Alex's is assigned scientist here)"

>>24281784
>>24281798
nope

>>24281721
In addition to whatever we say, hug him from behind before leaving so our breasts get pushed up against him.

>>24281821
This is acceptable.

>pressing our breasts against him is probably the last thing he needs right now.

let's ruffle his hair and head out to class.

>>24281721
"It was definitely weakening there. I think some time relaxing in hydroponics would do it."

>>24281721
"You're getting too excited and too vorried. Relax Alex."

"It seemed to work!" You say, and hug him from behind. "We've had a breakthrough. You should probably tell your counselor."
"I will." He responded.
"It's definitely weakening, there. I think some time relaxing in hydroponics would do it." You say.
"Glad to hear." He responded, and stretched. "I'll go tell him, then I'll see you guys in class." He said. "And then I'll nap in class since they don't really matter." He grumbled, and got to his feet. You giggle, and make your way to class. Alex walks in halfway through, and after that, a slightly-less-tired Damien.
A few hours later, past lunch and post-lunch classes, the buzzer on Manus's desk buzzed, signalling the end of classes for the day. You immediately sprung to your feet, as did Summer, Sarvesh, and Anna.
"You ready to work on the ship?" Sarvesh asked, his mandibles twitching. He sounded almost excited. "I'm ready."

>>24281958

Your rolls had no effect before. Why try again.

>>24281958
"Ready? I was born to be constructing ships!"

"I've been ready since I awoke!" You say, and heave Damien into the air, dragging him along. "Let's do this!"
"Yes, let's." Damien said, neutrally, as you dragged him along.

"Sarvesh, put up the life support there." You say some time later, with Einstein's projector flashing a light where you wanted it to go. "And summer, have your crew start... hmm, wiring all the control components on the cockpit. Red wires go into red sockets, et cetera."
"Okay!" Summer said, and focused, as her generic humanoid workers got to work.
"It looks to be shaping up well." Rho said, sitting on one of the empty crates. "Sorry I can't help much."
"Actually, you can help!" Sarvesh said, levitating in place. "I can't reach into this vent to fasten everything. Think you can climb in there?"
"Sure!" She said, and turned into a puff of smoke, appearing on Sarvesh's back.
Damien stretched, and cracked his neck. "Me and Anna got the drive attached, and the smaller one put back onto the shuttle." He said, while Omnissiah fastened on the inner hull. The inside of the ship was really starting to take shape, though you still needed to finish the engine for power, wire everything, and fasten the outer hull into shape. "We should probably take a break, or we'll all get exhausted." He added.

>>24282189
"Grumble mumble" (as in speak the words)
"You can rest, I'll rest when I'm dead and I'll call you when I've a plan for that"

>>24282189
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Do we have the ship kitchen and lounge set up yet? We could eat and relax in there."

>>24282189
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I think we're almost ready to put in the two engines we salvaged as well, we wouldn't want anyone making mistakes handling those."

>>24282189
"I don't think I understand. Stop working on my ship? I mean, I hear the words, but... It just isn't making much sense to me. I just can't really comprehend what you're saying."

>>24282189
You might get tired, but I could keep going forever!

>>24282217
>>24282227
These, continue working while they talk to us, with a glazed over expression.

>>24282189
"Yeah sure, we should totally stop, eat a bit take a rest."

As we're saying this just keep on working away not paying any attention.

>>24282189

have Einstein turn up his speakers and announce snack time!

fiddle with wiring while we eat.

>>24282189
But the decabulators need fitting, and I don't trust anyone else do do it.

And the retro-oscillators won't tune themselves!

>>24282221
Oh man, we should order some furniture for them both. The comfiest chairs imaginable.

>>24282189
"Hmph. You always get tired too soon."

>>24282285

>>24282330
Too rough teasing?

>>24282366

makes us seem ungrateful for their help.

>>24282285
I'd second that if I didn't think it was an outright lie. Damien's probably fantastic.

"I don't think I understand." You say, fitting the decabulators- before throwing them behind you and grabbing two-inch decabulators instead. "Stop working on my ship? I mean, I hear the words, but... it just isn't making much sense to me. I just can't really comprehend what you're saying."
Damien gave you a Look. You grinned up at him. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Do we have the ship kitchen and lounge set up yet? We could eat and relax in there."

Some time later, you were all sitting in the slightly-cramped lounge room, the kitchenette in the corner as Sarvesh cooked, teleporting in various foods when he needed them. You popped another one of those long breadsticks in your mouth, and relaxed.
Anna lay back on one of the half-built beds, the cushions simply slipped in and not strapped down, and left the hatch open. You keep working on the controls as you eat, the stick in your mouth as you tapped on the maintenance computer. While you needed to take a break, the maintenance drones and Summer's workmen didn't.

"Um. Don't-" Summer said. "Please stop, this is too.."
You look over, and Rho was rubbing Summer's belly, grinning evilly. She tickled something, and summer twitched.
"Okay!" She said, still grinning.

>>24282389
Telepath to Rho: <Cats have their breasts on their bellies you know. You were just feeling her up.>

"Rho, you're doing it again."

>>24282389
"You two, get a room. Some of us have SCIENCE to take care of."

Try to have a talk with the growing ship, see if she's feeling alright, if she's growing up well and if she has any concerns about her future.

>>24282389
Lift Rho off with TK
It's Heather's job to molest the kitty!

>>24282389
"So fluffy."
"It's kind of a shame we haven't installed the bunks yet, isn't it?"

<Rho, Just try to mind the line between teasing and molesting.>

>>24282452
seconding this

"So fluffy." You say. "It's kind of a shame we haven't installed the bunks yet, isn't it?"
"I have my bunk installed." Sarvesh said. His own bunk was in the cargo hold- and it was simply a lot of straps to hold him in place.

<Rho, cats have their breasts on their bellies, you know. You were just feeling her up.>
<I know!> She said.
<...Just try to mind the line between teasing and molesting.>
<I know. I'm doing the last one!> She said back, and then patted Summer's head and got to her feet again. Summer just frowned up at her, rolling onto her paws again.
Summer grumbled to herself, laying down, and stretching. Sarvesh handed her some food, and she started biting it.

Behind all of you, asleep, Damien suddenly opened his eyes.
"... So, clairvoyance overrides my normal sight." He said. "Good to know."

>>24282541
Jump hug. "Yay! It's not gone forever!"

>>24282541
So everything goes funny colours again?
I suppose I'll have to tire you out if you want to finish that painting.

>>24282541
"Ha. Now you physically cannot correct that painting."

It may be a bit too early to start thinking about this (especialy considering Heather is likely incapable of contemplative thought at such a time), but since we already named our gun Gae Bulg we should name our ship something alone the same lines, maybe Lugh.

>>24282574
Or we could name it something cuter. Like Bubbles. Or Nautilus.

>>24282541
"Good on you."

<Hello ship, you're not yet born but you're getting there. Can you talk yet?>

>Rho raping the kitty

You jump up to Damien and pull him into a hug. "Yay! It's not gone forever!"
"It was never going to be gone forever." He said. "It's only when I change things that it goes away, and it always comes back."
"So everything goes funny colors again?" You ask. "I'll have to tire you out if you want to finish that painting."
"I wasn't going to." He said, and chuckled. "You asked me not to. It's crap, but.." He shrugged. "If you really want to tire me out, go for it."
Anna's eyed you and him for a time, looking between the two of you. She was thinking, and you started to get some static from her- but before you caught a sliver of her thoughts like you normally did, Sarvesh turned around. "Seems like this is it." He said, setting down the food. It was full of various centaur foods. Baugettes, long breadsticks, those strange cakes from before... and it was all in a bowl of gravy, which didn't quite mesh well with the chocolate.

"Usually I'm game to try your cooking, but this is a very strange combination." You say.
"It isn't my normal, no." Sarvesh said. "But it's good."
Tentatively, you pick up one of the baugettes and take a bite. The gravy had soaked in through the bread, which was okay, and there was actually ground beef on the inside. It wasn't actually that bad, surprisingly.
"Ah, energy for ship building!" You say, and eat. While you do so, you reach out to the ship, and feel for any mind... but there still wasn't anything. No identity, quite yet. You watch as the maintenance drones put together more of the ship, while the crew finally get the ship wired- though they all looked flushed and blushing though, strangely. You look over to Summer, and she avoided looking at Rho.
"The cockpit is done." Omnissiah said. "It still requires a proper power source instead of the station power, though."
