Female/Male Ascended being all/20

After months of searching, asking, and hoping, you finally succeeded in tracking down a member of the now somewhat elusive Starfinder Society. Where they used to be everywhere, recent events have left them somewhat sparce. Sadly, you cannot join their ranks without being introduced by one of their members.

Finally a Dwarf named Duravor Kreel contacted you, and invited you to come to Absalom station where the society's headquarters are located. Though you had to make your own way to the station, he did provide you with a ticket for a shuttle between the station's outer docking rings and the station's habitat facilities. Duravor explained that several prospective members would be in the shuttle, as it was easier to deal with all of you at once rather than going through everything five times.

So after travelling for quite a while, you now find yourself in the shuttle Okimoro which is on its way to the habitat's docking bay 94. The cabin is nearly empty, only five passengers including yourself. These must be the other recruits.

There's about fifteen minutes until the Okimoro wil dock.

Looking over his wrist mounted computer, Sylus scans over the details, confirming that he's at the right location.
"Ah." He says to himself with a nod.
Boarding the shuttle, he takes a seat across from the already present group of people.

Sylus is a humble human. He's dressed in comfortably fitted, brown pants a tunic. He has a synth-leather belt with a holster holding an Azimuth laser pistol that seems to have been modified.
His right-wrist mounted computer seems encased in a steel case with leather straps holding it fast to its owner. Several unmarked buttons line its sides with its screen showing signs of touch use.

He looks to the group before him. "So. You're prospects as well?"he asks with a warm smile.

Wayfinders

A tall shirren sits nearby. It has a blue shell with black and purple markings and large red compound eyes. It wears kasatha style armour, the helmet sitting on an empty seat beside it, and several weapons are holstered or strapped to the armour.

"Kzzt, yes, Starfinder prospect," answers the alien in a buzzing voice. "Are you human?"

A slightly androgynous-looking humanoid with slightly feminine features and dark hair and eyes looks at the other prospects. The periodic, brief silver glow beneath the exposed skin betrays the being as an android. Clearly a much older model due to the extreme lengths made to make it appear as human as possible. It wears loose, slightly baggy clothing of blacks and greens with a collared, zip-up jacket. A very visible laser-pistol rests in a thigh-holster. It's face is passive and difficult to read as it looks each of you over slowly. "Yes. We are one of the prospects. And yes, he is human. You are shirren. We are android. We are called Myr'iad. You can call us Myr for short if you prefer. We find it to be more efficient for some species."

Wayfinders

I am shirren,” agrees the shirren. “K’zzk. Androids and humans look similar, but you have prettier skin. I will remember. ‘Myr-bzzt-d’. My mouthparts don’t make that name well. Yes, ‘Myr’ is better. My speechname is X’tack.” It sounds like ‘Gzzztak’. The shirren’s weapons are lower-tech than the human or androids’; an assault hammer carried in a sling at the waist of its armour and a semi-auto pistol in a holster.

'We believe that the organic response to X'tack's phrase is appreciation. We should smile.' Myr tries to imitate the human Sylas' smile, but is unable to match the warmth displayed by him. "Greetings, X'Tack. We wonder what is the human's name?" They look expectantly at Sylas.

Do we have four players or five?

Sylus looks to Myr and X'Tach and nods.
After a moment he coughs to wiggle out of his awkward sensations.

"I'm a Professor at Technical Academy here on the station." He says, looking to the others.
"What do you two do...Err...before becoming a hopeful?"

Damaya Lashunta Envoy

Sorry for the delay. Hadn't realized this was open. Also, I'll be busy at a con starting tomorrow. Will post at least once a day but can't promise much more than that

A quite attractive female, a Lashunta, looks down from the book that she was perusing. Only the particularly observant of the other shuttle passengers would notice that she is actually wearing armour and that the bag in the rack above her head looks suspiciously long arm shaped.

The holstered pistol and baton, on the other hand, are quite noticeable.

"Yes, I am also hoping to join the Starfinder Society. My name is Shessalla. I'm REALLY hoping to be accepted. I've always found that other cultures fascinate me. The number of different ways that people find to communicate. Absolutely fascinating. Where else could I possibly learn as much?

Oh, for those who don't recognize my species, I am a Lashunta, a Damaya Lashunta in fact"

I made one minor change to my character, btw. Changed my Improvisation to Inspiring Boost. Assuming that is ok

Ainara rushes towards the shuttle, throwing her staff up just as the doors are closing. Nice, just made it.
As the doors closed again, Ainara looked around at the four people seated.
"This is the shuttle Okimoro, right?" She asks of no one in particular. "I really hope it is."
The tall kasatha took a seat, tucking her backpack at her feet and keeping one hand on her staff. Another of her hands went up to make sure the dark green scarf was still securely tied, covering the lower half of her face.
Once she was settled, her black eyes scanned the others in the shuttle.
Nodding a hello, she greets the group. "Hello, I am Ainara Dojane Zye Riynilds, of Clan." With a shake of her head, she stops the recitation of her name. New tradition, not saying my full name unless asked, she thinks to herself.
"I am Sinatra, Starfinder Society hopeful."

Sylus nods to the new arrivals, giving a friendly wave in the process.
"Bare with me... as long as it took me to figure out how to become a hopeful... What trails do we actually have to perform?" He asks with a nervous laugh at the end.

"I hadn't realized how diverse the society actually was until I sat in this shuttle...and the cultural/racial diversity seems to have slapped me across the cheek with some considerable force."
He said eyeing Ainara's black eyes and Shessalla.
He shook his head to stop staring
"Sylus Shaw, professor. How do you do." He offered a hand shake.

"Greetings Sylus Shaw, Ainara Dojane Zye Riynilds, and Shessala. We are a very skilled pilot. We can pilot just about any craft available. We have many skills at our disposal." Myr pauses a moment. "We are not very skilled at reading organics and their... emotions."

They blinks several times as they notice Sylus staring. "Sylus Shaw, have you never encountered other species before? Also, I do not understand how diversity could slap you across the cheek. It is not a tangible force which could affect your physical, organic being." They suddenly smile in realization. "Oh, you are using a metaphor. That is very clever, Sylus Shaw."

X’Tack takes a moment to consider Sylus’ question. “When I was a larva and pupa I did little of interest,” it replies after a moment. “In my adult form I lived on Verces and trained for the job of security contractor. However, I found this job to be unsatisfactory.

When the other passengers introduce themselves, X’Tack replies in greeting. The shirren seems to take more interest in everyone’s weapons than their faces.

Yes, it is exciting that we are all different,” the shirren agrees to the later comments. “Different is good, even though most of you look so much the same.

As the prospective Starfinder society agents speak amongst themselves, the shuttle takes off.

"Good day, passengers. This is Absalom station control. Your shuttle is on approach to docking bay 94. Please be aware that due to traffic density you are being controlled by station operations. Any attempt to manually alter course would risk fellow travellers, and is therefore strictly prohibited. Your E.T.A. is approximately ten standard minutes."

Wayfinders

This means that there is no crew-pilot?” X’Tack asks of his fellow passengers. “This is not preferred, it limits choice.

GM, is there any physical separation between the passenger area and the cockpit? Have we seen any crew members on board the shuttle?

"This is common." Sylus nodded.
"With the dense population of the station as a whole, auto shuttles and other taxi-craft became some what necessary. for safety, I'm sure." He looked out a window.

With a slight smile, Shessalla says

"Everywhere has their own way of doing things. Apparently here in Absalom remotely piloting shuttles is a thing. On one of the cities on my home Castrovel there was a major accident a few years back and its now a major crime there for a sapient to not ALWAYS be at the controls of a vehicle

But that is what makes travelling so fascinating, isn't it? Everywhere is different. "

Turning to Silas

"I've got no idea what the trials will be. From the Societys reputation, I'd expect they would want us all to be able to take care of ourselves, and to have at least one special role that we can take. I'm a pretty good facilitator myself although I'm also ok at a bunch of things.

I'm hoping that it will be easier to get in now that the Society is so frantically trying to rebuild"

Sylus ponders Shessalla's final comment, placing a hand to his chin.

Wayfinders

I do not know of Starfinder trials,” says X’Tack. “I am good at security. And I can jump quite high/far. I have some skill in operating craft such as this, but will obey directive of Absalom Station Control not to manually alter course.

Myr'iad nods their understanding to X'Tack's statement. "Yes, we too find it difficult not to simply override the auto-piloting software and take control of the craft. It is not that we do not trust the auto-pilot, it is more all the other craft in the area that concerns us."

"We are looking forward for a chance to explore the unknown regions to see if other non-organic life forms such as ourselves exist elsewhere. It is also preferable to do so while expenses are being funded by another source."

"Ah, I see." He chimes back in.
"I simply want to have some of the experiences I teach... That way I can better provide my students with information in our ever increasing universe." He chuckles rubbing the back of his head.
