LT Toxin Arlill: Supply Run
Toxin Arlill
(( USS Sower, Runabout, A few Light Years from Deep Space 14 ))
Deep Space 14, a relatively new station, was fully stocked but still lacked the supplies needed for the next mission and ongoing science experiments. Toxin had received a request into Operations to dispatch a runabout to collect science supplies from a nearby system.
Recently, Henri and Toxin had been exploring their relationship, testing each other's boundaries and temperaments. Toxin felt uneasy discussing Henri with Lhandon, or anyone else for that matter, fearing it might sound absurd. This mission presented an opportunity for Toxin to have some alone time, or so he thought.
There had been potential Zet sightings in the region, and DS14 had issued orders for transit flights to have multiple crew members in case of encounters. Upon reviewing the crew roster, Toxin found that Karen Stendhal was due for flight time to meet her annual certification. Toxin was uncertain about asking a counselor to co-pilot, but he figured that if he could manage Henri, it might not be a bad idea.
Arlill: It seems like things have been crazy since we initially met the Chey’d, how have you been?
Stendhal: Response
Arlill: Operations has been ok, seems like we launched the OEB before we even took the plastic off the screens.
Stendhal: Response
Arlill: It’s an ancient technique for protecting electronics, but now it’s just a saying. (beat) You mind adjusting our deflector dish by 4.5%?
Toxin gestured towards the controls in front of Karen, on the far side. Unsure about her level of flight experience, he avoided being presumptuous but also didn't want to make her feel foolish.
oO Henri: Look at you big guy, always the helper. Oo
Lately, Henri's sarcasm has been getting the better of Toxin, and he's not pleased with how Henri often interjects at the most inconvenient times. Toxin turned his head away from Karen for a moment.
Arlill: ::quietly:: Stop it, not now, later.
Stendhal: Response
Arlill: Oh nothing, just noting the short range sensors. (beat) What got you into counseling?
oO Henri: Smooth. Oo
Stendhal: Response
