Fate. Not exactly discussing it’s… “Composition” to state it in a very dry and scientific way. They were talking about it’s effects. How the superstition of calling in the quiet times would attract misfortune. A questionable suggestion in his mind.Turning around, Commander Saa moved back towards the command console
Tito shook his head. He could be diving in mucky waters but he didn’t want to question someone’s beliefs, but he couldn’t help to give one more strong opinion over it.
He shrugged and leaned back.
Tito: Well, if by…. Pardon the redundancy, by fate we ever have Fate in front of us, I would honestly greet Fate with the most human expression.
They all kind of looked blankly at Tito.
Caras: like an idiom?
Talyra: Response
Tito nodded. Looking up, Commander Saa tilted her head.
Saa: What human expression would that be, Lieutenant?
Tito smiled wickedly and opened his arms.
Tito: I would show Fate my middle finger.
Tito would voice it out no matter who was listening. But he admittedly spoke between them so he could really enjoy their reactions. Commander Saa mimicked the gesture trying to understand it.
Saa: Middle finger..? ::tilts head:: What does that mean, why would you greet Fate with it?
Commander Caras replied in kind, waving his own middle finger.
A muffled laugh was heard from somewhere in one of the other manned consoles and Tito just kept his grin. Taking a little more pleasure to have the others making a slight fool of themselves.
Saa: Mor- :;correcting:: Mr. Caras, are you making fun of me?
Commander Caras’s expression changed, apparently with surprise.
Caras: No! When someone does it to you you’re supposed to do it back right? Sometimes even with two.
Then Commander Caras gave the two middle fingers to Commander Saa, and although Tito managed to not burst into laughter he did shake his head and lower it.
Talyra: Response
That brought a curious, to say the least, ending to their more serious conversation.
Saa: Finish those updates, Mr. Caras. ::shakes her head:: Though I will say the riveting discussion of fate was very enjoyable and enlightening, it is always fascinating to learn how others view such unseen forces.
Caras: They are finished ::pause:: Captain. Also agreed.
Tito smiled.
Tito: I hope I haven’t offended anyone
Talyra: Response
Saa: I’m a counselor; it's practically instinct now to hear all sides of a discussion, whether I agree or not. ::She smiles:: And sometimes, to purposely present the counterargument in order to learn the hearts and minds of those around me.
Caras: Well not to circle around a bit, but it was a discussion to keep our mind off the dullness of this mission at hand. As I said, no complaints yet, and Fate seems to be holding steady, like the Thor.
Tito: Agreed.
Talyra: Response
Saa: Though, yes, I to some extent do believe in the fate my people speak of. ::She smiles:: But really it's more…every time the q-word is invoked, I end up with a purple heart, and I am really trying to keep my promise to not earn any more.
Caras: Well I’ll try my best to not invoke it for the rest of the trip then.
Tito shrugged and looked at them and returned his attention to his console.
Tito: And we can return our focus to proper work.
Talyra: Response
Caras: There is far more blue on the bridge now, more than any other color. I do count the teals with the blues
Commander Caras made a gesture to Commander Saa.
Tito: As you should Sir. But Gold has the most duty colours. Engineering, Operations, Security, Tactic… But is that a potential call out? Something between departments perhaps?
The suggestion was deliberate. Tito skipped the awards photonic battle, but he wouldn’t mind saying a full drawn battle between services.
Talyra: response
Caras: I’m not sure what kind of activities that engineering and sciences could go to head in that would be fair. And it can’t be physical, the moment security hears we left them out of something physical, they’ll make us all sorry.
Tito: And try to beat us to it…
Talyra: Response
Suddenly Commander Caras posture shifted. As if he was pocked by something and turned to the comm officers.
Caras: Mind if I take a look at that, ensign?
Comm Officer: It’s an SOS sir. I think it’s from the Syren’s Song, but something is interesting, it came with a fleet ID.
Tito narrowed his eyes and his grin vanished.
Something was up.
Caras: That’s Captain Promontory’s.
Tito: began downloading the data and readjusting the scans. He turned to Ensign Talyra.
Tito: Ensign Talyra, assemble all the data we collected, send it to the Astrometics lab. We are likely stopping our survey.
Talyra: Response
Caras: Sev…. Commander Saa? Orders?
Saa: Response
Tito tipped his head to Talyra and gave her a dead pan look as if saying “I told you so”
Tito: Experience told me we were about to move.
Talyra: Response
Tito raised his head.
Tito: Dropping some probes so we can return and finish our sweep. I suggest we track the message and head there.
Saa/Caras/Talyra: Response
Tito’s expression was now emotionless. They could try and trace back the SOS but it would take time. This was going to be a bumpy ride.
Tito: Captain Pormontory wouldn’t send that kind of message light heartedly.
Saa/Caras/Talyra: Response
Tito: Aye Commander.
