Apologies for my absence. I've been unexpectedly busy with life things, but I should be able to get vack in the swing of things in the next day or so.

I have heard nothing from him.
As Epri cast her mind about as to what she may do, an idea struck her. She beckoned the attendant that had been hovering near her over. "I am going to try and interface with the machine," she announced. "Ensure that I am not disturbed."
Well. This was frustrating. Epri had performed every and any test she could think of, attempting to determine what had tortured the engines in the warp. Nothing. She had even tried to think outside the box, and that had yielded a similar lack of results. So what could it be...?
Here, but at an absolute loss as to what I need to be doing.
"If I need you, then I will call for you." with that, Epri begsn to inspect the warp drives, attempting to pinpoint a specific cause for the troubles.
Epri waves a hand at the questioning figure, both as a symbol of dismissal and the impatient shooing of the unwanted inquiry. "Of course." Despite her sharp response, she did not feel quite as confident as she hoped she sounded. "Now, I have matters to attend to." With that, she moved in closer to the engines, her eyes narrowed as she cautiously inspected for any trace of the machine spirit within.
As expected, the sudden drop from the warp was violent, jarring, and thoroughly unpleasant. However, Epri had little trouble in keeping a steady footing as the ship dropped from the Immaterium. Good. Now to attend to the matters at hand.
<Captain. Navigator.> Epri's voice crackled softly over the vox transmission, her tone of voice sharper than usual. <We need to drop out of the warp. Now.>
I beleive you are correct. My mistake; that's what I get for posting while half awake.
During the length of their voyage, Epri kept mostly to herself. She did not idle during the voyage, as operating on a large ship often left one with no shortage of things one could do in order to keep busy. Many of them were lesser tasks, probably easily delegated, but Epri was a hands-on person. Why delegate when you can do it yourself? The encounter with the warp storms, while bothersome and annoying, did not effect Epri's routines too significantly. Any damages would be dealt with, and she would have things running as if nothing had ever happened. She had been working and living on ships and space stations long enough to have the routine down.
Epri makes a sharp tittering noise, rising to move away from the table. Her servo skull, which had been hovering unobtrusively the entire time, hummed to follow her obediently. "If you will excuse me, then, I have rituals to perform." Her part was done here. Conversation was not a topic she had any interest in.
Epri, making a rare show of visiting the bridge, leans on the table as she stares intently at the hololithic display. "I do not like it," she huffed. "A stranger coming out of the blue to offer fame and profit? Too convenient."
This right here is the most appropriate song for anything pirate-y, even in SPAAAACE.
I think I'm good on my end.
Glorious. That makes my pick easy!
A question- If our little acquisition is some kind of implant or similar device, would it already be grafted in? If not, its no problem, but I wanted to check first.
Enginseer Epri present and ready.
Character sheet is up (yay), and to get things more or less done on my end, a rough outline of her backstory. A short-tempered Enginseer and former Skitarii Tech-guard hopeful, Epri was all but informally exiled from her homeworld of Tolkhan after her sometimes borderline heretical ideas brought her into clashes with her superiors. She drifted aimlessly for a time, always quick to find work and almost as quick to be sent on her way thanks to her temper and propensity for violence. While working on a remote, nameless outpost in the middle of nowhere, she and the other members of the outpost were beset by Dark Eldar. Rescue finally came in the form of the Imperial Navy. Though she was one of the few to escape the situation relatively unscathed, Epri now harbors a very special hatred for the twisted xenos. I suppose I could link this up with you Dark Voyage folks somehow? If not, I'll just assume she semi-forced her way onto the ship due to the Reliquary of Mars history and just... kind of hasn't left.
I have everything generated, but I'm still in the process of putting things together. Shouldn't be too long-- an hour, maybe? Apologies. It has been a busy, busy week.
And what a lovely time we'll have! Though that presents some fun RP chances. And I'll have the stats and such for Epri up later tonight or tomorrow. Will aim for the former, but the latter is more likely. |
