As I have not currently been assigned a roommate, we can use my quarters as a temporary flight hq. Currently I'm preparing to handle our logistics needs; a task which can be interrupted at any time, if you would like to stop by to discuss our desires for the overall flight dynamics, as well as our expectations for how each section will be run.


OOC: I don't remember what time of day it is, but I going with its before noon that most of these actives happen, .....


Reply to Cerise,

Yes, ok meet in your quarters sounds fine, ... If ok with you lets say around 1800 hrs.

with Cerise confirmation and nothing out of the ordinary happening Doshi is at her door at 1800 hrs sharp.

In reply to Kaarle Cherkovski (msg # 50):

When Kaarle come back Doshi has read though most (80%) of his members files and is board and tried of listen to the CPU. "Hey 'Kchek' Have you eaten? Lets go to the officer's lounge and have a bite to eat and some drinks, .... How about it?"

Doshi seems excited to get out and do something other then his duty, .... in fact he looks like a different man, now that he is done with 'work' per say. If Kaarle didn't know better the Lt has a very different personality then the impression he gave outside the commanders office and even more so in front of Lt. Cerise.

Cerise is dressed in her new all-black uniform when Doshi arrives.

"If it is acceptable to you, I will dispense with formalities." Cerise looks for some sort of non-verbal confirmation, then continues.
"For the overall structure of our section, it seems that the intent was for us to have two semi-independent flights; one aerospace based consisting of your Wraith squadron and the other ground based under my direct command. In this respect I believe we are meant to act more along the lines of a Marine unit, as opposed to a Navy unit. In other words, the Horizon-X is meant more to get us where we're going and act as a home base, rather than as the center piece of our unit.
Our primary mission will be one of reconnaissance and diplomacy. to those ends, I believe that Wraith will be primarily concerned with the more traditional military aspects of the mission; collecting physical intelligence, providing over-watch, and, if necessary, providing the primary firepower in most combat situations. The remainder of Vulture team will, generally, be focused on detail observation, when the avian view does not provide sufficient detail, support, and the diplomacy portion of the mission.
Do you agree with my assessment of the overall structure?"

"Sure 'Bushido', I'm up for that, lead the way"  he smiles dropping off whatever he was able to get from the Quarter Master leaving it on his bunk before following Bushido out of their quarters.

 Michelle makes her way to the Wraith Squadrons formation. She stands at attention until told to at-ease. When the Lieutenant informs them to refer to him as Bushido, and that they were to only use her call sign from now on. She replied with "Yes Sir!"

  when the Unit is dismissed she makes her way to the ships quartermaster and turns in the list of needed gear and pesonel sidearms before requesting her new uniforms. With that all out of the way she makes her way to her assigned quarters, Once there she unpacks her duffel bag and new uniforms into her locker and drawer. Taking the top bunk she makes the bed and settles down for a short nap.

Re: Starting Point


  Sillia gathers her thing and heads over to the the quarter master. With that she makes her way down the corridors until she arrives to her quarters. She is taken by surprise when she sees the giant dog sitting there and her teammate (Epiphany), removing her breather mask she smile a warm smile. "Greetings, I'm Sillia. Its a pleasure to me you." she says as she extends her hand.

  After the greetings are over she begins to unpack her gear and look over her new bunk. Its apparent that the moving about without her breather mask is uncomfortable for her. She looks over her bunk and smiles as she makes the bed. the double controls for both inside and out were interesting. Once her bed is made and stuff is all put away she sits on her bed.

Re: Starting Point

@ the Officer's Lounge, .....

So Doshi heads out in his old uniform, since he couldn't wait to get out and relax. As they walk the corridors to the lounge.

"Hey Kchek you might hear some nasty rumors about me, most of them are true so don't worry."
Doshi laughs as he looks on to Kaarle face when he says it. "No man I'm just playing, I'm just tend to act really different in front of non-humans. It's been bad for me when I lost my older brother to those shits. I miss earth, I mean, ... I was really young when I left but I still remember some stuff, ... like a real blue sky and the wind, ... and the smell of grass." He starts to look a little sad and perks up, ... "So Kchek where are your from?"

Re: Starting Point

In reply to Doshi Morimoto (msg # 58):

Smiles as Doshi jokes about himself.  He can understand the feelings he has towards non-humans aren't really any different from his own. You and me both... he lets out his own soft chuckle wondering how the hell they got themselves into being surrounded by aliens.

As they continue their journey Doshi mentions his brother and then earth and things kinda get quiet "Never been to earth myself...always wanted to see it though.  As for where I am from actually I was born on SDF-3, spent my entire life in space" his thoughts begin to trail as he thinks about his parents.  It isn't long before his smile fades and they find themselves in the officers lounge looking for an empty table.  While Doshi is finding them a place to sit he walks up to the bar and says to the bartender."A bottle of Bourbon and two glasses please, and if you could send someone over to take our meal order that'd be appreciated"

After paying he grabs the bottle and glasses and sits across from Doshi pouring both of them a shot.

"I don't know about you but I could use a drink, hopefully we can get some decent food here as well"

He eyeballs the glass for a moment before raising it up to Doshi and without a word downs the whole thing.  He starts to pour himself another glass when he decides to break the tension.  "So what you think about getting into these new Veritechs?  I know we have two weeks to ourselves but I'd like to get a little acquainted with them if you know what I mean"  he makes it a point not to bring up SDF-3 again unless asked.

In reply to Kaarle Cherkovski (msg # 59):

Doshi eyes the bottle and once he has his drink raises his glass to Kaarle. Laughing as he say it "Too the Wraith Squadron!." swigs down the drink and pours another one.

"So these Shadow Fighters, I heard they have some type of stealth feature, but fly exactly the same as our Alpha Fighters. The rumor I heard is that the Invid sensors could detect our emissions. So if this stuff really works it should give us an edge. But these Invids are tricky bastards, .... I would think we would rather see our new tech be destroyed then a ship be captured, .... I mean we wouldn't want them to figure out what we have."

"So listen I was kind of was serious about what I said on the line we need to keep each other alive and we are responsible now for the squad. Do you have a problem with that? This time its presented in a less ordering way. "I could change it if you do."


After the serious question and answer session is over Doshi starts to talk about other non-important and general stuff. He is a bit of a photographer and talks a little about some of the places he has been and about some of his travels. By this time Doshi has had one to many and its close to his meeting with the Lt.

"OOoo gees" .... this isn't good I forgot I told the Lt I would meet to discuss some stuff and ... I'm cutting it close. Hey 'Kchek' I got to go, see you back at the room, .... and by the way I got the next bottle ok?"

Re: Starting Point

In reply to Doshi Morimoto (msg # 60):

"Here's hoping it works as intended then" He takes another swig from his glass and fills it again.

"As for your expectations of me, there is no need to change anything.  I may not like some of the folks I have to work with but that doesn't mean I won't fight to the end to keep you and the rest of them alive"

During their conversations he reveals that he himself is something of a history buff, mostly of the last 50 years prior to the space wars.  He hopes that someday he can visit earth.  He continues to avoid any talk of SDF-3 or his family for the time being though is sure that he read this his records in their entirety he already knows about his parents.  His father dying on patrol shortly before he was born, his mother being murdered by her Zentradi lover when he was only twelve.  It's not something he likes to talk about and cares even less to this about.

Its not long before Bushido is trying to make his exit, wondering just how he's going to make it through his meeting with the CO.

"I'll hold you to that..." he responds regarding the next bottle before he takes the one at the table and downs the rest of it's contents before stumbling to his feet and trying to make his way back to his bunk.

Doshi is still dressed in his old uniform and replies about formalities, "yes of course, I feel the same way" and his speak is slow and not quite right. He was just on time and a bit winded "Sooorry Lt. I lost my way back from the lounge, didn't mean to be late."

As he walks into the room, his hand is slightly extend as if he is guiding himself with it. "Right I agree completely Sir, I mean Ma'am, .... I understand." "Ya'aa I think your assessment is right on target, .... BUT Ma'am why these bunch of characters, ... I mean there're good at what they do but there're young and I'm sure there's other squads that have spent time together as a unit longer that fit the bill." Doshi doesn't sit and it seems that he needs to focus on his thoughts as he speaks. If she didn't know any better she think this is what humans call 'stoned', mellow, slight slow speak, and some trouble with his balance, .... he's not drunk or out of control. IN fact he is displaying a great deal of it.

"So Ma'am I like to recall them and have a training run if possible, ... I would like to see what we are dealing with in a simulation run before getting into the thick of it?" as he make a facial expression of holding in a burp. "Excuses me Ma'am that food most of upset my stomach."

Re: Starting Point

"It is my understanding that this whole mission, meaning the Gambit fleet's overall mission, is a brand new venture. Given that, it would be expected that much of the crew, including many of the teams, would be fairly inexperienced. But, even so, several of our team are actually fairly well experienced, for example" Cerise looks down at her data pad "Private First Class Kelta, callsign Snowflake, is quite experienced, with quite a lot of combat under her belt. Several of us have had a few years of experience in either the Navy or Marines. Given the fact that we are to do both reconnaissance and diplomatic duties it is improbable that there are many units that already have both diplomats that have some combat experience as well as an experienced variety of both ground and aerospace combat personnel and support crew.

As for recalling the unit for a training run, I agree; I'd planned to both do a communications check sometime in this first week and gather them for a short-notice recall and simulated mission sometime next week. These should give us an idea of how quickly they can adapt, how well they stay within communications, and how well they can work together. If you like I can program the simulation myself, so that you can assess your own ability to react within the flight leadership position during simulated combat. As for myself, I did plan on having my executive officer, once I have identified them, within the ground unit act as tactical leader during combat operations, so that I can focus on the strategic matters at hand, so it shouldn't matter too much if the situation is not unexpected for me.

If you are feeling unwell, perhaps you should seek out the assistance of the infirmary?"

  Sillia and Epiphany, before you can go get food, a young officer knocks on your door. When you open the door, he ask you which one of you is PFC Keita. After you identify yourself Epiphany, the officer say; these orders are from your commanding officer's office. effective immediately.

Re: Starting Point

Upon seeing Lt. Vanrossum, Doshi's buzzed feeling starts to fade quickly as his adrenaline starts to kick in from the thought of being improper in front of the senior officer, "Well Lt. Vanrossum, thank you for that information. Lt. Cerise I think that answered my questions so no need to really continue. I will finish getting my things ready and enjoy the rest of my leave." Doshi's a bit upset that he left the door open for Lt. Vanrossum to listen in, ... it also make him feel that people will be snooping around.

Thinking to himself ... 'Come on she was listen to the whole conversation before interrupting, I'm not going to let that happen again.' then turns so only Lt Cerise can see his face, ... so when Doshi looks over at Lt. Cerise he raises a single eyebrow saying with a facial expression can you believe this, .... "Lt. with your permission" Doshi walks out of the room.

Once outside in the corridor and clear of anyone he lets out a bit winded 'sheesh' can't believe that crap, I'm completely surrounded with all the stuff I hate ..... deep space, aliens and officers with bugs up their butt. I mean can this get any worse.

Doshi heads back to his room, were he finds his new uniforms and equipment. He gets cleaned up and dresses in his new Dress Blacks. Doshi's the type to always be in uniform. He doesn't like to be caught off guard and he's stuck on this thing that if he's in a uniform then its always business even when they say it's not.




For the rest of the day and evening Doshi spends his time reading up on files and research the team, their combat and missions, background and 'pycho' profile. If his roomy comes back he spends sometime chatting but gets back to his reading and research.

For the rest of his time off, its spent doing the same unless others interact with him. When really board he goes for a quick run for a few miles, the gym, eats and every evening hits the lounge for a drink (always trying to get the others to pay and offers to get them back next time).

Epiphany sighs, "I guess I am going to have to rain-check that meal.  Seems I have been promoted and need to pack my gear again." she moves back into the room and begins packing her stuff up.  Once finished she heads off to her new bunk rm 127.  She enters and looks around seeing no one in the room she selects a bunk and begins to unpack her stuff.  Sundiata regards her quizzically his head tilting to one side, "Yeah I know, this is our room now though." she says laughing, "I'm sure we can still get to know the nice lady from the last room." she finishes as she unpacks the last of her gear and throws the dog a treat.  The small piece of jerky doesn't even make the massive dog chew but he wags his nub of a tail happily and follows her out of the room.

Re: Starting Point

Having made his way back to his bunk after his meal with Doshi (aka Bushido) Kaarle sleeps off his drunkenness until morning.

Throughout the rest of his free time he spends it either checking and re-checking all his equipment to make sure it's in perfect working order.  He familiarizes himself with his new veritech fighter performing dry runs.  To most this would seem unnecessary however to him it is essential that he knows his equipment top to bottom.

The rest of his time he can be either found doing PE throughout most of his morning, and wandering the shops and such on the space station trying to find odd trinkets from earth, these include movies, books, music, anything he can get his hands on.

Kaarle continues this routine until it's time depart from the station all together.
