Cha 2

Vomiel is in the middle of the market place sitting on a bench looking around so as not to be awkward. She saw two shops one being an armour store and the other a trinket store... needless to say, she decided to go to the trinket store. Once inside she spies several things that catch her intention. There is a Geth head lamp, a small cup of feathers, and many other things including toys. She grabs a basket and puts a couple of feathers in as well as a small fog machine and a stuffed dragon. Vomiel loved the dragon, and thought the feathers would look nice on her hood, but she has no idea why she bought the smoke machine. She bought the things and left out swinging the basket lightly from side to side happily.

Vomiel took a look at the time and saw that she had an hour left so she turned and quickly went to the armour merchant. It was simply a kiosk embedded in front of a small warehouse built into a wall, similar others where lining the market place. A holographic projection of an Asari was standing behind it. Asari are another alien race, but look more similar to humans than any other race and are entirely female.

"Ah hello Quarian what can I do for you?"

"I'm Looking for an energy shield, and was wondering what you have." Vomiel folds her arms.

Holding up her holographic hands the Asari projects two other images hover above her hands. "We have two models in stock right now. Each protects against firearms but one specializes in shrapnel and other similar types of carnage, while the other specializes in heavier things like high penetrating rounds. Also each are five thousand credits."

"I think I will take the shrapnel based shield, I hope it's worth it. They seem a little expensive however." Vomiel states as she fiddles with the checkout machine.

"That is because brand new technology was put into these new top of the line shields to offer maximum protection." Spoken like a true salesman err woman.

"uh huh" She was not convinced but she got her shield with a small bow from the VI construct.

Quickly paying for her shield Vomiel puts it in the basket and runs to find a Turian restaurant and supply store. Thirty minutes later... "Where is that Quarian? She's ten minutes late."

"Calm down Klax. She's probably just lost." Liera says coolly while leaning against their shuttle.

"Grrr I gave her plenty of time Liera what could possibly be taking her so... long..." A one manned fighter quickly comes around a corner and parks next to Klax, Liera, and their shuttle. The cockpit opens up and vomiel leans out with a wave. "Well I'll be damned"

"I told you klax"

"Ok ok Liera just wave her to follow us."

Fifteen minutes later... A shuttle and a fighter come into a docking bay of the Dragons Tooth. These were led in by Human male named Wes. After all the docking procedures were complete everyone got out of their respected vehicles and meet in front of them. Klax pats Vomiel roughly on the shoulder as he introduces his small crew.

"The female Turian there is Liera and the poor stick of a human is Wes."

"Hey!"

"Get a little muscle and I won't mess with ya as much ha ha! Right, Liera show our new friend the tour would you." With that bombshell Klax heads off for the bridge in this extremely light cruiser.

"mhmm well follow me Vomiel was it?"

"yes" Liera walks past her and she follows while Wes stares at both of their asses before going back to whatever he was doing. Liera and Vomiel reach the end of the hanger and climb up a ladder and end up in the engine room.

"Here is our proud little engine which we should be replacing soon if klax would get off his stubby tail."

"Riiight."

"Moving on"

They turn around heading out the door and into something of a main hallway connecting everything but it's quite large boasting a kitchen and large four person table. The left and right walls to the kitchen held two doors. Towards the front of the ship a door with the words BRIDGE in bold letters hangs above it.

"Now this is the kitchen and social area, on the right is the sleeping quarters and mini hospital. The left is the bathrooms and armoury, which also has a weapons and armour bench."

"Well... that's one way to maximize space, but why sleep together?"

"Oh you get used to it."

"No I mean why do you all sleep together you have plenty of room. We slept together because we had very very little space."

"Well I mean we have our ow- oh I see well it makes things simple and fair for everyone."

"And Klax is captain?"

"Pretty much..."

"oh ok then... would it be ok if I went to sleep? I'm a bit tired."

"yeah I don't see why not" Vomiel waved Liera night and headed to get some sleep after such a long and fruitful day.

Slowly the dark room comes into view as Vomiel opens her eyes. As she rotates on her back she stops, an odd noise had startled her. Listening she hears it again and realizes that it is just Klax snoring, and confirms it when she rolls over towards the other side of the room where he was sleeping. The room was small and bare with two twin sized beds and four singles lining the walls The twin beds are located along the back wall while the four single beds are actually bunk beds. Klax was sprawled on the twin bed in a 'he fell down and died' fashion. Looking to the other bunk Vomiel sees Wes on the top bunk but no Liera to be seen on any of the other beds. She concludes with the thought that she is in the bunk above her own. After swinging her legs around so that she is sitting on the edge of the bed, the blanket only a little out of place despite of the harsh movement. She sits up slowly, her suit she was still wearing rubbing together slightly. Walking to the door in padded steps she opens the door quickly and as quietly as a squeaky door can and shuts it just the same hoping no one awoke. Folding her hands behind her back she strolled leisurely to the kitchen area where she ruffled around the cabinets. Inside she found an apron and held it up to herself before putting it on. Vomiel bless her soul became a little girly in front of prying eyes as she giggled and turned on the stove and started to cook.

Wes was standing behind the door to the bedroom stalking err staring at Vomiel who is cooking some kind of avian eggs and meats. He was awoken by the sound of cupboards and clanking and decided to come see what all the hubbub was. Needless to say he was a little shocked to see the new crew member cooking.

"Wes what the hell are you *yawns* doing over there? Go or stay either way shut the damn door." Leira states, very grumpy that her sleep was disturbed by the light entering the room.

"O-oh I'm sorry" He quickly goes through the door and shuts it before turning around. Vomiel didn't notice him yet so he thought he could maybe sneak into the bathroom or hanger bay. He sneaked as casually as he could, he tried to sneak behind Vomiel deciding to try and get to the bathroom.

"Hello there, Wes was it? Glad to see you're up. Wes stops and tries to act natural while turning to face her. "Breakfast will be done soon so just wait a few more minutes ok?"

"Oh sure, thanks." Vomiel gives a slight nod at his thanks before focusing on cooking once more. Wes continues on his heading towards the bathroom. Once inside he splashes water on his face. "See that wasn't so awkward you dunce." He says to himself before drying off and heading back out again.

Rustling and grumbling around in bed Liera finally sits up. "Damn that Wes." She gets up and is about to head out the room to her door when she stops in her tracks. Her senses are assaulted by the smell of meats and eggs as it wafts into the room from the door she just cracked open. "Klax!"

Vomiel just finished cooking and was setting it out when she sensed two pairs of eyes boring into her back. Turning around she found a stunned Leira and a grumpy, mostly asleep, Klax. "Hey, didn't know how you guys usually do breakfast so I kinda took it upon myself. I hope that wasn't too much of a problem."

Klax now mostly awake looks from Vomiel to Liera before shooting his signature grin. "Liera you look like you just watched her murder you're children haha, wake up and get some breakfast that Vomiel decided to make." Klax thanks Vomiel who nods before he sits down. Liera follows awkwardly and sits down before looking at everyone.

"I'm sorry Vomiel I've... well we've never had a real meal in a long time let alone together so for you to come on and in the first morning bring us back together just kinda shocked me." Wes leaned back already finished, while Klax gives a grunt of confirmation while he downs almost half the pile that he was given. Liera started to eat when Vomiel chuckled.

"Honestly it's not a problem I'm just glad I could prove to be something other than a slacker." Vomiel then started to cut into her own meal she made which was a large tofu block with beans, some kind of light salsa, and a lot of olives stuffed inside. Everyone around the table gave a questioning look at the self proclaimed vegan, all being carnivorous themselves well for the most part. She looked back at everyone with a tilted head. "What? We don't have the resources for animals all we can grow is plants plus it's quite healthy." Her mouth piece opened up and she took a bite from her creation. The shadows casted from inside the piece made it impossible to see more then an outline of lips, much to the disappointment of Wes who stared intently before fiddling with his fork in defeat. This did not go unnoticed by Klax however who gave another of his signature grins as he decided how to torture the poor boy.

Klax nudged Wes in the side With his fist, his arms being too short as well as sitting too far away to elbow him. "She's here for one day and you're already eyeing her Wes my boy?"

Wes blushes and nearly chokes on his drink. "Wha- I wasn't doing anything. I was just curious is all." He replied quietly so as to not gain anyone else's attention, which didn't seem to be a problem since no one seems to have paid attention to the normally loud Klax.

Klax let out a throaty chuckle as he slapped Wes on the back. "heh sure, sure I believe you."
