0006: NEW ARRIVAL BRIEFING

Who: New Arrivals, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon, Aprilo 1st
Warnings: None

When awakening, the immediate surroundings are swarming with activity. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. They move with a practiced efficiency, already veterans of this kind of thing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The Briefing room is large. Not enough to accommodate a giant, but spacious enough for several dozen people. The tiles are black and featureless while the walls are nice, soothing colors. The chairs are high-backed and well-cushioned, more like comforting eggs floating a foot or so off the ground than anything else. Set into the ceiling and floor near the front is a large holographic projector. The floor in front of each seat also has a smaller projector, allowing people to see what the bigger device is showing without having to angle for a view. As of now, it merely displays a rotating pyramid.

Three Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. One man stands at the head. Graham Baker, a middle-aged man showing the first signs of balding and wearing a wrinkled business suit, clasps his hands behind his back and smiles.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with. The mods will not be doing hangar/medical awakenings unless it's specifically asked for.]

She shook her head in agreement; that didn't sound like anyone she wanted in charge either.

"Military it is." As if she would have considered anything else.

"You got any special skills, they pretty much let you do your thing in combat." At least that's been his experience. "But I guess your kind doesn't have an alt mode or anything." Humans: so lame.

"Alt mode?" She did have her armor, if not at this moment.

She'd get it back, or there would be hell to pay.
driftlock: (confrontation)

"You know, like what you turn into, like a jet or a car or something." He's still loose on the idea of humans not having them. WEIRD.

She just stares at him blankly for a moment. No, that wasn't anything like her armor. He did realize that organics didn't have independently moving parts, right?

"No, we're not really capable of that. Yet."
driftlock: (flare of conscience?)

"Hnf. Well, I'm sure you've got, you know, some kind of combat skill that's pretty badaft." Deadlock wants to believe in you. Primus knows he's tired of being the only fighter he trusts around here.

"As a matter of fact, I do." There's a ghosting of a smile; Kelly's one hell of fighter and she's proud of it, and that's even without her armor. With it she's nigh unstoppable.
driftlock: (heh)

"Hnf. We should go to the range sometime." Because that is the only way Deadlock knows how to bond: with high caliber weaponry.

That gets the ghosting of a smile; she's of a smiliar mind. "I would look forward to it."
driftlock: (heh)

[personal profile] driftlock 2014-04-12 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Good. You need anything else, let me know."

Because he knows who to threaten to get it, most likely.
