Schmidt's quarters

A simple appartment, made up of a living room, seperate kitchen, a bathroom and a large bedroom. Located on the outside ring of the deck, it has an actual window with an outside view to the stars.

Schmidt's quarters

From: Captain's Quarters

Upon entering his apartment, Mike started to check out everything, stopping in wonder when he reached the window. Stars, hundreds of them, and he could see them all. After a few minutes he snapped out of his admiration and headed towards the bedroom.

There he found all his clothes neatly packed, as if it'd been there patiently waiting for the last century. Although, as he thought about it, his things had probably been waiting there that long. After picking out something more fitting -and loose- he decided to finish checking his apartment out after he'd met Vanderbeek.

With that figured out, Mike changed into his clothes; a form fitting blue shirt, jeans, and an out of place pair of orange running shoes.

He stared at the shoes for a moment, not sure why he'd picked them out, then shrugged. "Well, first impressions are everything, after all."

Pulling them on, he decided he was finally presentable to the world -or ship- at large, heading towards the door as he pulled out his map, before stopping abruptly. He had no clue where Vanderbeek actually was! Dorn had said to look in the Mess Hall, but Mike didn't fancy missing him if he wasn't there. "Marco, would you mind telling me where I could find Mr. Vanderbeek?"

arriving at Mike Schmidts door at 3:52 pm, Danny knocks politely, feeling like such a stalker at this point he was mad at himself, until he realised he was being more of a Jehovah witness, being at Mikes door, or possibly a door-to-door salesman.... uggh!

Mike raised an eyebrow as he heard a knock at the door. Curious as to who would be knocking on His door, he went over and opened it, his eyes looking Danny up and down, absorbing his appearance like a sponge.

After a moment, Mike lowered his eyebrow and went into what he mentally dubbed 'Potential friend' mode, a smile instantly plastering his face, his body relaxing minuscule as he held out his hand to Danny "Hello there sir, can I help you?"

Danny smiled, taking a liking to the man... "Hello," he said cheerfully, taking Mike's outstretched hand. This guy was obviously nice, now it was gonna be more awkward of what he had to say, as he didn't really want to ruin the chance of getting a new friend by coming off weird.... for the millionth time today.

"I'm Danny Chambers, you seem really nice... though beyond that, as your probably wondering, I have a reason for being at your door" he chuckled quickly, as whole-heartedly as he could manage with the stress obvious on his face. "You were on a list of people I need to ask a question to, seems like I'm a stalker already, I know... probably a little bit of a Telemarketer too..." he laughed nervously, a hardly pleasant laugh, but forced if anything else. "Basically, I'll get to the point: I'm navigating the ship, finding and interviewing civilians to see if they would like to take a job under my supervision... I'm almost at the point of giving up, and didn't realise how ridiculous the idea was..." he laughs a third time, still stressed, but at this point waiting until he can leave... "The job consists of working under my management, for a few hours a day, a few days a week... you would cook meals, tend the bar, and waiter individuals.... as no currency circulated the job would be good so you could spend your time, and not the ship's space..."... he finished before letting Mike answer, saying "Sorry if that was a mouthful, I've had a hard, awkward day... also, don't feel likr you have to say yes, I don't care what happens anymore..." he said, slightly sad in appearance, in reality, getting increasingly devestated.

Mike blinked, mentally reviewed everything Danny had just told him, before shaking his head slowly, a mixture of feelings evident on his face as he stared at Danny, watching his face, before he finally chuckled, his smile growing wider as he spoke. "Well, Danny, I thought I was the one having a horrible day. Almost forgot everyone else has problems to...."

His grin wavered slightly, before turning rueful, a slight sparkle returning to his eyes that he hadn't had when he opened the door. "And by the way, I personally have nothing against Telemarketers. They're just making a living, like the rest of us."
Thinks for a moment more, before asking "So this job, it's in a restaurant or something? I'm a horrible cook, Mother always said I'd burn salad if she let me." Chuckles light heartedly "She did, once. And yes, I burned it, somehow." Raises an eyebrow in thought, his gaze going distant "Tending a bar wouldn't be so bad, as for being a waiter, I used to do it on the side back home, along with the repair gig..."

After a long moment Mike shrugs "Alright, might as well do something with my time, although I was planning on finding Mr. Vanderbeek. I bet that's who you talked to for this, yes?"

Danny smiled back, happier and happier as Mike spoke, "Yes, it was VanderBeek who gave me this job, that the guy couldn't do himself" he said, slightly chuckling in what seemed obvious to be joy of some sort, as he responded to Mike's question.


Danny shook Mike's hand, then continued with "Thank's a ton, two people is twice as helpful as one... I'm sure we will get along... not sure when I will get the place open, but check in every day or two, and I'll give you the what's what." , as he was about to leave, he said completely selflessly, obviously taking a friendly liking to Mike from the beginning, before he replied with yes to his awkward question, "I'll see you around Mike", leaving with a smile on his face, feeling much better.


The second Danny was away from Mike his face got slightly more sad, he wiped away a tear, and told himself to stop being an idiot, he then went, incredibly hesitantly , to the next person on his list, though he had to physically make himself take every step, he knew things would work out in the end...

Asking Marco where he could find Richard Thornby, he headed towards that destination...

Mike grinned as he replied to Danny's farewell "See you later, Danny." However, as soon as Danny rounded the corner, his grin was replaced by a steadily growing grimace. That could have gone better, Mike thought as he pulled out his map and headed towards the mess hall, letting his feet do the walking as he reviewed his conversation.

Danny had seemed a nice enough guy, but he was obviously stressed about the whole 'door-to-door stalking' thing. It had been plain on his face, in his manner, even his forced chuckles. Hopefully Mike could help calm Danny's nerves while he worked,. By the time Mike had reached the lift, his grimace had turned back into a smile, his eyes twinkling as he entered in the deck for the barracks mess hall.

From ---> Barracks Section

Mike was still thinking deeply as he entered his quarters, sitting down in the living room and staring absently out through the viewport. What was he going to do now? He supposed he should probably familiarize himself with the ship, his new home for the time being, but right now he was tired.

Tired from all the information he'd had to absorb.

Tired just Thinking about how long he'd been in Cryo sleep.

Bed first, then a jog around the ship, Mike decided. He got up with a stretch and head towards the bedroom, noticing for the first time the lack of actual belongings. "Marco, were would I find my stuff?" He asked with a yawn, plopping down on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

"Thanks Marco...." Mike muttered as he slowly drifted off to sleep, rolling over to get more comfortable. "Would you mind walking me up in a few hours? Just want to get some shuteye."

And with that, Mike fell asleep.

Mike woke up with a loud yawn, staring at the ceiling for a few minutes before sighing and standing up. He just couldn't go back to sleep.

He knew he would eventually get used to sleeping in his quarters, but right now he was uncomfortable sleeping in his new bed. He went to the bathroom and splashed some water in his face in order to help him wake up from his short sleep. It didn't really help.

After doing that, Mike checked himself in the mirror, frowning at his rumpled clothing. He needed to get his things, and that meant going to the cargo bay. Right.

"Marco, would you mind telling me how long I've slept, as well as what time it is, if you would be so kind?" He asked as he smoothed out his clothes to the best of his abilities.

Mike's eyebrow twitched as he heard the amount of time he'd slept, which was basically none. "Well, no rest for the weary, eh? Thank you Marco, and a good evening to you to."

After awhile, Mike stopped trying to futilely unwrinkled his shirt, and instead decided to change clothes. Thus he now found himself rummaging through his stuff and making sure that it was all there, carefully putting it all in separate piles as he found them. "Now lets see, all my clothes are here, my music is here. Books, here. Now where is my laptop? Ah, there it is, right next to-" He stopped abruptly, pulling out a looked like a long, thick, hardwood cane, its head caped with bronze, and the handle carved to look like a wolf.

Mike smiled in found memory at the cane, reverently putting it down on the bed as he placed all of his things were they belonged. When he was finished, the rooms looked more lived in then before. More alive. All that was left was the cane on the bed and a photo of Mike's family, both of which he carefully positioned on top of the dresser. After spending several minutes making everything neat and orderly, Mike finally changed into a plain blue tee-shirt and a pair of jeans. He decided to keep the shoes, which he placed in front of the bed as he laid down and pulled out one of his many books, specifically, The 'Lord Of The Ring' series, and started reading.

It was time for some stress relief.

He must have dozed off a bit. Waking up with a book stuck to his forehead had been a long time ago, and it actually felt strangely familiar. Yet the announcement over the comms was what woke him. What was it they had said exactly?

He slowly lifted the book off his head, carefully placing the book down on the edge of the bed as he slowly got up and stretched, standing there for a moment as his mind caught up with his body. "Marco, would you mind telling me what that announcement was? I missed what was said." He asked as he turned towards the bathroom, still stretching as he went.

At 19.08 Captain Dorn delivered the following message over the ship's announcement system:

Attention all, this is your captain speaking. First and foremost, I wish to inform you all the situation on the recreational deck is nearly under control, and you can all soon return there if you wish.

The reason of this message is a different one however. just a moment ago recon fighters of the Marco polo have discovered what seem to be the remains of CS-3 vasco DaGama, which was lost in 2034. We are pulling up alongside her, and will be investigating shortly. I will keep you all updated.

Military staff be advised, report to your commanding officers at once, and await further orders.

Captain Dorn out.


The mess hall is currently opened, serving pork chops in gravy with potatoes and beans. Have a nice evening Mike.

Mike walked straight towards the sink, calmly running water over his face in order to wake himself up fully, listening attentively to Marco repeating the announcement. Then the Vasco DaGama was mentioned, and Mike's entire world stood still.

The DaGama. The third colony ship. The ship his sister was on.

Outwardly, he regained his composure quickly, his shock lasting only for a moment, but on the inside those words repeated themselves over and over.

'The remains of the CS-3 Vasco DaGama. The remains of the CS-3 Vasco DaGama.'

Standing there for a few minutes, Mike sighed and looked up at the bulkhead, muttering under his breath, "Well, you always were the one looking out for me, weren't you Rose. Looks like this time your the one needing saving." After mentally going over his reply to Marco, Mike said louder "Thank you Marco, and a good evening to you, too." Then, with only a slight pause to recompose himself, he exited and headed towards the Mess hall.
