You are Captain SAMANTHA WELLINGS, a newly minted captain of the Centauri Accord!

Currently, the Gullinbursti was in the midst of an FTL jump. A really long one, considering that you were heading out to the edge of known space. Well, past that, actually.

After you compared all of the Hegemony mapping data with Carly's you realized that you could actually narrow down a VAST swathe of the unknown expanse. Looks like both Carly and the Hegemony had been busy in the past few years, and with the Confederation trying to butt in on the action, it was highly possible that things were getting close.

Of course, the Accord couldn't just let this discovery slip out from under their nose. So, you were heading out to try and find... whatever you were looking for before anybody else did.

You lead back in your chair, slightly bored. There wasn't much to do in the middle of an FTL jump.

You decide to leave the bridge to Bradford and the others as you head down to the infirmary to check on Natalia. It's been a while since you've talked to her and you honestly had to make sure she wasn't doing anything crazy like growing alien fetuses or something.

"Captain!" Natalia rushes over to you as you enter. "Right in the nick of time!"

"Really now?" You raise a suspicious eyebrow. "More experiments?"

"Always!" Natalia says happily as she holds up another small vial, filled with a translucent blue liquid. "So what do you say? Up for another one?"

She seemed particularly excited today.

"All right, hit me with it." You sigh as you hold your palm out.

"Excellent!" Natalia smiles as she place the vial in your hand. "As always, if you're feeling any adverse effects, well, it's a good thing you're in the infirmary!"

Well, nothing else but to test it out...

You gulp down the solution, noting that it tastes rally fizzy, like soda. You feel the tingle running up your spine like an electric charge, standing all your hairs on end as it goes.

Otherwise, you don't really feel any different.

"Interesting..." Natalia grins as she runs the scanner over you. "This is quite remarkable."

"What is?" You frown.

"It looks like you can somewhat consciously control the movements of your hair. Pity you keep it rather short."

"I-It's not THAT short." You mumble as your bangs quiver in response.

"Well, you could always grow it out!" Natalia giggles. "Also, it's not just the hair on your head, it covers all of your hair! Including the hair down-"

"THANK YOU, Natalia." You cut her off promptly, your hair temporarily becoming all spiky like an angry cat.

"Still, it makes you so much cuter!" Natalia continues to giggle nonstop.

"It's NOT CUTE!" You insist as your hair twitches and flails in response to your outburst.

"Oh my, this will certainly be put up for marketing once I put it through a few more trials!" Natalia says with glee.

"Gee, you really thought ahead on this, didn't you?" You sigh.

"Of course!" Natalia smiles. "Navy life can only remain interesting for so long, and I do want to try my hand in the private sector!"

Oh dear lord you almost dread that day.

"Well, other than that, there's no other serious issues." Natalia smiles. "Thankfully there haven't been any injuries or illnesses, so it's all been rather quiet here."

"Must be awfully boring."

"Oh, not at all! It gives me time to work on the crew's little hobbies- oh dear, I shouldn't have said that." Natalia frowns.

"What hobbies?" You ask suspiciously, now closing the distance between you and Natalia.

"Ah, well, I shouldn't say. Doctor-patient confidentiality!" Natalia tries to back up, but finds herself cornered against a bed.

"Oh? So the ship doctor is trying to pull rank on the Captain?" You raise an eyebrow as you advance ever closer.

It was evident Natalia wasn't going to just answer you off the bat. She would have to be "encouraged" to, somehow...

"W-well, maybe I WILL follow through!" You stammer, still not totally convincing.

"Oh?" A confident grin creeps along Natalia's face as she sweeps your legs out from under you with her arm, locking you into a princess carry position. Due to the fact she was quite a bit taller than you, this was rather simple for her.

"N-Nat!" You yelp.

"We've got plenty of beds here, Captain~." Natalia says cheerfully, her face now so close you could feel her warm breath washing over your face.

Or maybe that as all the blood rushing into your cheeks.

However, right at that moment, the door to the infirmary slides open and you see...

"Hey, Nat, I was coming to by to see if- WHOOAAAAAAAA." Amy slides to a stop as she sees what's going on.

"Oh, hi Amy!" Natalia says cheerfully. "I'm sorry, I'm a bit indisposed at the moment!"

"Cap, holy shit!" Amy whistles. "Sleeping around with Tank AND Nat?"

"This is not what it looks like." You grumble.

"Ah, well, I guess the mood's not quite right, but the doctor's office is always open~!" Natalia chuckles as she sets you down on your feet.

And you see the look on Amy's face. That fucking shit eating grin when she finds out about a new piece of gossip. She for sure was going to go tell the others about this. Unfortunately, she was still at the door, a quick and easy exit point.

"Ah, the wonder of youth." Natalia chuckles.

"You aren't much older than her, you know." You sigh.

"True, but I'm shackled by my grand intellect." Natalia replies.

"Oh no, how tragic." You roll your eyes.

"Well, I suppose you have more Captainy things to do." Natalia turns and shuffles off to her lab. "I'll let you know if I have anything new~!"

"Y-you do that." You groan as you make your own escape before Natalia decided to change her mind.

yeah but at least we learn something but the last 5 hours have been nothing but roll fails.

and Natalia is the best part of the break time. Anything else is just filler or unless we dick up more dirt or better shennigans then she can.

You quickly head over to the armor where Tank was most certainly at. As always, he's there dutifully maintaining all of the stored armor and weapons. Thankfully, it didn't appear as if Amy had gotten to him yet.

"Hey there, Tank!" You greet him as he turns to see who's arrived.

Tank tilts his helmeted head to the side, wondering if there was something wrong.

"There's nothing wrong!" You give a bit of a forced laugh. "Whatever made you think that?"

Tank shakes his head and points at you. Your voice tended to get a little higher pitched when you were nervous, and your hair for some reason was twitching and puffing randomly.

Goddamnit!

"I may have flirted with Nat." You admit. "And ruined myself for marriage."

Tank shakes his head. Again?

"Yes, again." You groan.

Tank then walks over and pats you on the head, as gently as he can with his armored hand. You really should be more careful with that charm of yours. If it could work on him then it could work on anybody.

You can feel your face flushing red again.

Tank then returns his attention to the weapon rack, and points. Looks like he's wondering what sort of weapon would be most effective against an unknown alien lifeform.

"You don't REALLY think we're hunting some kind of long lost alien artifact, are you?" You ask.

Tank shrugs. It sounds like the more exciting outcome.

"Honestly." You shake your head.

Tank waggles his finger. It never hurts to be prepared.

It'd also help if they were space elves, but some people aren't picky with non-human looking ones. Certainly a lot better to meet somewhat human looking ayys rather than bug people.

What's that Latin saying--"si vis pacem, para bellum"? That's a good one to keep in mind when dealing with ayys.

Also tell him plasma--plasma is pretty good at burning through ayy flesh.

Well unless we have some sort of mental block prepared in case we run into telepathic enemies, we're just gonna have to cross that bridge when we get there.

I mean we're probably not and someone close to us (READ: Tank) is gonna get mind-controlled and put us into a compromising situation, but it'll be a helluva ride up until that point.

"It never hurts to be to careful." You shrug. "And personally, I'd go for the plasma. I doubt there's many lifeforms adapted to that."

Tank nods in agreement with your suggestion. Negotiation can only ever be achieved through a position of strength.

"Damn right." You grin.

"Captain, please report to the Bridge." Bradford's voice booms over the intercom. "I repeat, Captain please report to the bridge."

At that moment, you could feel the slight jarring and shifting of the ship as it decelerated from FTL and dropped into normal space.

"Damn, duty calls, I guess." You sigh.

Tank nods and salutes. Best you go along.

Your hair droops slightly as you return to the bridge. You're immediately met with the vast vista of unknown stars.

"Shit, the nav computer has no idea where the hell we are." Amy grunts, having returned to her station.

"We haven't fully integrated the search data into the system yet, so you'll have to manually transfer the coordinates." Lida notes.

"Goddamnit." Amy groans. "And to think we live in such an enlightened age."

"Hmmm, well, this proves to be a good opportunity to pick where we go from here." Elizabeth smiles, having just appeared out of nowhere as usual.

"Even with the data, that's still a large area to search." Bradford notes.

A few seconds later, the Longclaw drops out of FTL, in formation with Gullinbursti.

"Yo! So ya made it, sis! Great!" Carly greets you happily.

"Two ships means we can split up and cover more area!" Elizabeth suggests.

"I'd rather we keep our ships together." Bradford cautions. "Between the Hegemony and Confederation forces, and whatever else might be out there, I don't like the idea of splitting our numbers."

"I think we should stick together for mutual support. At least for the time being." You say. "No idea what could possibly be out there."

"Excellent call, Captain." Bradford nods with approval.

"All right, I'm bringing up the closest unexplored systems." Lida says as the bridge's holomap winks on. "Have a look."

CRON CLUSTER: An odd star system that has five stars in extremely close proximity to each other. The massive amounts of light and radiation block pretty much all long range sensors, and the heat discourages probes and recon ships from getting too close. However, there might be something hiding in the spaces between these stars, if one is brave enough to get close.

BLOOD JEWEL: A system with a single supergiant gas planet. Its atmosphere roils with eternal storms and bad weather, but long range scans have picked up what seem to be massive floating landmasses hidden in the clouds.

RALLY POINT ZETA: A otherwise standard star system, if not for the fact that almost every planet in the system seems to have been smashed apart or cracked open by forces unknown. However, it is currently hotly contested between Hegemony and Confederate forces.

"So a choice between a warzone or extremely dangerous stellar conditions?" You sigh.

"Can't be too easy for us, right?" Carly chuckles.

"I suppose not." You nod.

"Let's check out the Blood Jewel." You instruct Amy. "I get the feeling it's hiding something there."

"I'm not sure if I enjoy stormy weather or goddamn suns more." Amy groans.

"Would you prefer enemy fire?" Elsa prods.

"Point." Amy concedes. "Yo, Carly, you get that?"

"Yep yep! To the Blood Jewel we go!" Carly says excitedly.

And just like that, the Longclaw disappears in a flash as it makes an FTL jump.

"Damnit Carly." You grin at your sister's enthusiasm. "Come on, Amy, you don't want to get beaten there, do you?"

"Well, I got a reputation to keep up." Amy cracks her knuckles as she manually inputs the jump coordinates with lightning speed. Gullinbursti lurches slightly as it makes the jump to FTL as well. Even though Carly had a headstart, you were certain you'd get there first. Gullinbursti was far faster than the Longclaw, after all.

And once again, there's nothing to do but to wait.

"So... Cap." Elsa looks up from her station. "Amy says you were making out with Nat. That true?"

"Oh?" Elizabeth raises an inquisitive eyebrow while Bradford shoots you a disapproving glare.

Amy just smugly leans back in her chair.

Fucking Amy.
