Hello! I'm curious - what does being "Chief of Staff" entail?
Hello, Sheba. As I've explained to another, as Chief of Staff I'm more of a personal timekeeper, orchestrating our schedules and planning our upcoming essential travels. That and helping coordinate my crew effectively.

Oh, I see! So it's a lot of logistical work.
Do you enjoy that sort of thing?

Sounds good - I'll see you there!
[she will make a beeline for the sim room.]
Hello, Callisto.

Hello, Callisto.
[ thebe is here in the lounge playing clan gen. there's a tablet that's on their lap, but it's currently off for the moment. when they spot sheba, however, they give a wave. the ear-like apparatuses twitch happily (?) ]
Hi there, Sheba. What's up...?
Hi there, Sheba. What's up...?
[sheba waves back.]
Hello! I thought maybe I'd swing by and see how you and Son were doing. Are things a little more settled now that we've been here for a few days?

Callsign Trustfall.
[ that is their version of a greeting.
The simulation is that of an empty building, supporting pillars every once in a while, and a piano. However, they're here for JOB, so... They will be simulating a mechanical piece soon. ]
Are you experienced with directed-energy weapons?

Please just call me Sheba... it was filled in like that when I started using the I.R.I.S. and I couldn't make it go away.
[it's some kind of cosmic joke...]
Directed-energy weapons? Umm... I'm not sure. Some of the weapons I used would activate with elemental energy under certain circumstances, but I kind of get the feeling we're talking about two different things.

[ It seems like Callisto heard her, but doesn't utter any confirmation. Just have to accept the shared vibes that they heard. ]
It sounds like energy drawn from within oneself. These draw energy from cartridges, like... Ammo.
[ So, yeah, different. ]
Do you know how to polish? Oil?

Hi, I'd like to shadow you while you're working on diagnostics!
hey there, sheba! i'd be happy for the company, if you'd like to join me in the lounge.
i'm mostly focusing on life support functions today, but the good news is it's just routine - we haven't seen a single sign so far that there'll be an issue with that part of the system.

A little bit. Still monitoring the ship for any abnormal behavior, but I think she's leveling out a little.
[ a pillow on the lounge starts to wiggle, it is small and black. two little blue eyes appear and stare at sheba quietly. thebe just stretches a hand out and pets the Pillow. ]
Son is doing well, though. I've coaxed him out during my breaks so he's slowly getting used to all the activity again.

Have you always served on the Eudora? Or were you junior crew on a different ship first?
Like bows and arrows?
[teach her to use a gun.]
Mmhm, we had to take care of our weapons while we were traveling. I usually used maces or staves, but I also helped my friends with their swords or axes. The basics behind it are probably similar, just applied in a different way, right?

Sure - I'm on my way!
[to the lounge she goes! she waves when she spots them.]
Hello! So... what are routine diagnostics like on a ship like this, anyway?

That's good.
[sheba would very much prefer there not be any abnormal behavior with the ship! not while they're stuck on it.
the pillow wiggles, and she looks back at the eyes that appear. hello! she gives it a small smile and a wave.]
It must be pretty shocking for him, going from just eight of you being around to there being forty-seven of us.

If bows can shoot energy arrows.
[ That makes more sense? Right? They seem perplexed by the example of something like bows and arrows, but they know enough. ]
For the most part, it is the same for oil. Some parts need to be lubricated so it can stay operational.

That should be easy enough - I'm pretty good with my hands. [she grins.] Let's get started!
[ unfortunately for sheba, this is a murder game. slowly the pillow will uncurl into the shape of a perfectly normal black cat, but with incredibly blue eyes. the tail remains tucked tightly around him. but he is Looking now. ]
Yeah, and even eight was a lot for him at first. He'll be okay eventually, just gotta get used to a new schedule... right, Son?
How are you doing, Sheba?

[alas! no normalcy for anyone on this ship.
haze, who had been tucked into sheba's cloak, peeks out and starts to float down to get a better look at son - but she catchces him and pulls him back. nuh-uh. no freaking son out today, haze.]
...I'm alright. It's taking some getting used to, is all. [...] I heard someone's thoughts earlier and thought... maybe my Psynergy was working again. But that's not what was happening, was it? It's just everybody reacting to the nanites.
