"I'll make sure, don't worry.", Dwan said with a smile. With the duel done, Dwan left the armory and went back to the bar. He placed the sheathed blade underneath the counter, where his armor and the rest of his arsenal is.
"Incredible." Jeremy muttered as Harken Saw saw him zoned out. "Currently there is only one present, but as you find other ships and analyze them they will be available." Harken Saw explained but wanted to elaborate more. "The stealth system will analyze any ship that's in your sight as long as the ship is kept in focus with that selected target. It's very important you keep the ship from harm or else the process will reset." Harken Saw warned him. Jeremy nodded and observed the updated engine.
"So? What do we do now?" Jeremy asked.
"Nothing, as of now. I have no missions to give your crew. The Crimson Son will probably search for you which is why I installed the stealth mechanic. You can't stay here so I'm afraid you're gonna wander a bit around the Galaxy." Harken Saw as he gestured his workers to pack up. He grabbed his suit jacket and wore it, adjusting it to his comfort.
"Don't worry Captain, we'll keep in touch and I'll update your missions later. Til next time and for god's sake stay low profile." Harken Saw walked away from the ship. As the last few workers left Jeremy sighed. He activated his holo band.
"Welp, we can start packing everyone. We have no further missions as of now so if anyone has an idea where to go for exploration then don't hesitate."
"I'll be right over." Varn walked to the armory. When he entered, he noticed the sword Lion made. "Every time I walk in here,I see you make more toy's for us to play with." Varn took off his helmet and passed it to Lion. "You can put the chip in here. Hopefully, I can finally hear what an Ayr sounds like."
Iska had been a bit annoyed that Harken was so into his own invention that he neglected to answer the question.
Having still overheard everything, she looked down on Yanim. "Iska will go eat and the sleep. Please, wake me when captain decided next location" she said, letting out a long yawn. She left the engineering sector and headed to the mess hall.
Viper nodded and stood up from the floor, staring down into Nychos's eyes for an moment before dropping her head down. Viper showed the way to the Sanghvi's personal quarters though the ship to Nycho.
Every hallway, every room and every shaft within the steel hull of the Archius XI was memorized with no error in Viper's mind.
An standard trait of all Sanghvi as their ship barring nature as any error abroad an star ship could cost their or other lives.
Viper took an pause when reaching the door to her room, nervous about the rather messy and cluttered state that the room was in as it showed a minor sign of weakness but was ease by Nychos's presence.
"It's right in here, mind the mess." Viper said to Nychos with a quiet tone before opening the door to the Sanghvi's quarters.
Jeremy was stumped and found his way into the Bar once again. He saw Dwan washing the good ol glasses. He took a seat and saw his updated log on the Head Of Engineering Applications. There were a couple that saw fit to apply and checked them, narrowing them down until he saw one that caught his eye.

Jeremy read a recap of all these qualities as he nodded at the certain accomplishments. It was at that moment he felt impressed with the things Yanim did for the crew. There were some large responsibilities she's already doing that a Chief Engineer needed to do. Overall the application was in good standing. But there were still some applications that might outweigh hers.
"Dwan I got a question. What do you think of Yanim as Chief Engineer?"
[QUOTE=kilerabv;47901026]"I'll be right over." Varn walked to the armory. When he entered, he noticed the sword Lion made. "Every time I walk in here,I see you make more toy's for us to play with." Varn took off his helmet and passed it to Lion. "You can put the chip in here. Hopefully, I can finally hear what an Ayr sounds like."[/QUOTE]
Lion chuckled. "What can I say? A boy likes to play with toys." He stopped tinkering with a small chip currently placed on his desk. "There." Lion received Varn's helmet in which he mounted the chip using a tiny welder built into one of his fingers.
Lion nodded before handing back the helmet. "That should be it, the chip will automatically adjust itself so don't worry if you hear white-noise for a few seconds before it works."
Nycho leaned into the room and looked around. "Please, there is no need for you to apologize to me how you live, and with this whole missions hectic timeline I imagine a tidy room has not been too high on the priority list" she replied with a friendly tone".
Dwan, after he put his sword under the counter, returned to washing his glasses. He notices Jeremy, as he takes a seat. As it looked like he was doing important captain work, Dwan just continued washing. Until Jeremy asked him what he thought of Yanim as Chief Engineer.
"Well, she does do quite a bit around the ship.", he responded to Jeremy. "I personally think she's deserving of the position.", he answered.
"Hmm. You're right about that. I do appreciate what's she doing and she does have the behavior for it." Jeremy brought up. The choice was clear. "I'll order some whiskey. Preferably Kong." He wrote up his message.
[quote] Dear Yanim Sidikan,
I have read and reviewed your applications for the Head Of Engineering Position. I am pleased to tell you that your qualifications have served the right requirements for Chief Engineer. Consider this message or letter as a formal acceptance for Chief Engineer.
I expect you to fulfill all the daily responsibilities as the Head Of Engineering and share your ideas to the pool.
Nevertheless, I am confident that you will be a great fit to the job and work hard to achieve great workmanship. If you have any questions or concerns then do not hesitate to send a message or come up to me personally.
Regards,
Captain Jeremy Spacehawk.[/quote]
Jeremy then sent the message to Yanim, deactivating his holo band and waited for his drink.
"Thank you." Viper said back with same quiet tone to Nycho as they both walked though the room, Viper feeling more and more comfortable within Nycho's presence.
Viper let Nycho take a look around before proceeding, as Viper begin to clear out an small area for them to sit to together within the room.
"Alright then." Viper said while knelling down across from Nycho. Taking an moment to relax and to remember everything that was happen during the time that Viper has been abroad the Archius XI.
"Ok...I'm ready" Viper said with worried tone.
Nycho concentrated on the visions that viper produced.
Slowly but surely, she began going through the events that viper have lived during this mission.
[Going to sleep so this will take a while]
"Gotcha.", Dwan said, as he pulled out a bottle of Kong whiskey and poured a glass of it. He hands it to Jeremy and promptly returns to his glass cleaning.
Yanim had watched Saw's demonstration in silence, listening closely to understand the significance of the new technology which had been fitted to the ship, its advantages and its limitations. Out of curiosity, she checked the ship's passive identity system using her tablet and found that the software had been updated to display the identity of the stealth profile. This way, the Archius couldn't be identified through electronic means, either. It was ingenious.
Iska excused herself to go eat and rest, leaving Yanim to find something productive to do. There were two new members on the crew, and while there had been quite a fuss over Nycho, the new scientist on the ship, almost no one had extended a greeting to Zarbon, the new enforcer. She checked the contact list of the ship's messaging system and found that, while in the system, neither of them had been assigned a room. Yanim began penning a message to each of them, which they would receive upon signing into the ship's intranet.
She explained that while she worked in engineering, all departments of the Archius crew participate in combat- different from any ship she had ever flown on. Even the bartender and the "morale specialist" have placed themselves in the line of fire, meaning that Zarbon and Nycho could both expect wide and comprehensive support from their comrades on a variety of issues. She explained which crewmembers could assist them with particular tasks, where to find them, and most importantly, the location of the restrooms on each deck.
A message arrived from Jeremy, and so she saved her work as a draft. Expecting some sort of notification about the ship's imminent departure, she was overjoyed to see instead a notice of her promotion to Head of Engineering. Quickly she amended her previous messages into a single, more generalized welcome, introducing it with the line "To our new crewmates, Zarbon and Nycho: My name is Yanim Sidikan. I have just been named chief engineer of this ship, and on behalf of the crew I wish to extend a welcome..."
She then forwarded the message to everyone on the crew, so that others who had yet to meet their new crewmates could reply in addendum. Afterwards, she wondered what she should do to celebrate. She couldn't drink; doctor's orders. Instead, what better way to assume her new position than to get right to work on something new and exciting? Walking into the workshop, she loaded the design of her old hoverbike into the display and broke it into its base components. Seeing the amateurish mistakes she had made years earlier, she sneered at herself and at the distance she had come in the years gone by.
After Arthur and Joseph had unceremoniously left the room, Sledge tore his way through the tarp and launched himself into a sitting position. As the anesthetic wore off Sledge took a look at himself.
[i]Sweet mercy.[/i] Sledge's upper body looked like a chiseled marble statue of two buff dudes hugging. He had to get a closer look.
Removing the IV needle by clenching his fist and throwing himself off the edge of the operating table, Sledge noticed the first immediate problem. Negotiating himself in front of a nearby mirror, he was simultaneously horrified and impressed by what he saw. His upper body easily dwarfed his lower. He looked like a beefy Yosemite Sam that had never seen a Leg Day in his life. Even standing as straight as he could, Sledge's hands still touched the ground.
He tried lifting his hands. Okay second problem. His upper body was almost too heavy for his legs to lift. These were both serious problems that Sledge would have to work out with Arthur later. For the meantime he'd have to figure out how to get around. He was also excited about showing off his new bod and couldn't wait for another life-threatening surgery.
After a few minutes, Sledge found a means of getting around that was pretty practical, although unorthodox. He muscled his way up the lift to the bar, getting some strange and frightened looks along the way. Nobody even really recognized him anymore, which was intense. He strode into the bar using his new mode of locomotion ([url=http://i.imgur.com/Zv6gUYq.jpg]Artist's rendition[/url]) and announced his presence.
"Hi, guys!" he said, flexing.
As Jeremy was about to take a sip from his whiskey he heard the door open. A huge muscled man made his way here flexing. Jeremy dropped his glass in the ground, shattering instantly as he stared. The only thing you need to feel sorry for was the whiskey as it spilled on the floor.
Sledge sees the captain's surprised expression and grins. "Who were you expecting, Tiny Tim?"
Jeremy kept staring and staring until he needed some eye wash. He rose from his stool, pardoning Dwan for the broken glass and went to the back restroom to wash his face. A full minute he came back with a wash cloth, rubbing it against his face. Jeremy decided to shout out with such hysterical expression
"Sledge, how, when, why?!"
[QUOTE=Pezgod1;47900203]As he cleaned the lab, Arthur heard the message over the speakers. He decided to head to the engine room, cat on his shoulder.
He arrived to an interesting sight; a couple of new crew members, one of such looking like he tore himself right out from a Chinese cartoon. Arthur resolved to introduce himself to both.
"A good evening to the both of you. My name is Arthur Beasley; Doctorate, Geneticist, Head Scientist aboard this ship. Your names?"[/QUOTE]
"Mmm, so this is a human. How disappointing, I was expecting for him to look abit more...dashing."

"I see you're admiring my hammering muscles! They're big, aren't they?" Sledge struck a flexpose as he finished his sentence.
Nycho had now analyzed the events of the mission thus far.
She stood up and walked up to Viper.
"You have witnessed and lived through a lot on this journey. I noted that you seem to have lapses into psykosis from time to time, which have had some unwanted results" she shimmed, refering to vipers scuffle with the khergian engineer on the latest planetside mission. "But actions speak volumes, and you have also demonstrated a very good side by putting yourself in the line of fire for the crew. And here you are, albeit recovering, still going onwards. I personally can not help you with your dark memory fragments, but if you feel communicating with me helps then come find me now and then.
She squinted her eyes happily at the sanghvi; "I must excuse myself for now, but I have some errands I must finish before locating my own room."
Nycho bowed and let out a cheerful ping. "Until next time, Viper Solari".
Nycho headed down to the armory to find this Lion fellow.
Pippin saw sledge and just shook his head and walked away.
"Thanks Lion." Varn put on his helmet. There was some white noise, but it died down in a few seconds. "You know whit all this commotion around the Ayr, I forgot to talk with out other new arrival." Varn turned on the intercom. "Will Zarbon report to the armory as soon as possible. Thanks." He sat down on a chair. Varn noticed the experimental schematics he picked up from Rigel. Most were still there where he left them. He started looking at them while he waited.
"Oh right, another enforcer." Lion sat down at his desk and started working on some ideas he had gotten after reading a file on ship propulsion systems.
He then received a message from Yanim and smiled after he had read it. He switched projects and constructed a small but elegant knife.
Lion then went to see Yanim. "Congratulations on your new post." He switched to kanad. "[You deserved it.]"
As he walked up to her he extended his hand and revealed the knife. "This is for you."
"[Much appreciated,]" she replied before seeing the knife. "[What's this? Oh, I see,]" she said, taking the sheathed knife with her left hand. Pinning it against the work surface under her palm in order to keep her balance, she leaned her cane against her hip and unsheathed the knife with her right hand. It was made of laminated stainless steel and had two cutting edges, a short one and another which extended to the handle. The entire blade was black and polished to a degree that Yanim could see her reflection in it.
"[Do you like it?]" Viper asked.
"[[I]It's excellent.[/I] If only I could stand on my own legs right now I'd try it out. Thank you, Lion,]" she said as she placed it back in its sheath. As she strapped the knife to her right boot, she noticed Lion looking at the holographic display behind her. "[This is my latest work,]" she explained, a prideful grin adorning her face. "[I call it 'Agile Transport Device,' or ATD, but you can call it whatever you want when you get yours.]"

((Going to bed now. Will answer any questions in ~5hrs))
[QUOTE=kilerabv;47903902] "Will Zarbon report to the armory as soon as possible. Thanks."[/QUOTE]
[I]"I best report to the armory as soon as possible."[/I] Zarbon thought to himself as he entered the elevator. [I]"If I take too long, someone might really lay into me."[/I]
A few minutes later, Zarbon entered the armory.
Iska had awoken from a short sleep.
Without any further directions from the captain, she decided to congratulate Yanim in the workshop.
As she entered, she greeted Yanim with a big smile. "Spaska, Chief". She the lightly punched lion on the shoulder "Tinman, what are you doing here?" she said, still with a slightly cocky smile. Iska felt like she was in a good mood after that nap.
Varn could see why nobody bothered with the schematics. A lot of these ideas were bad. Like the Rock-it-launcher, Railway rifle and the Dart gun. But he did find something interesting. The door opened and Zarbon came in, looking a bit nervous. Varn stood up and extended a hand. "At ease soldier. I'm Varn Merner, head of security. Welcome aboard."
"[I hope you'll find the knife useful, I took the liberty of adding a secondary mode that superheats the edge of the blade. It''ll cut through shields, armor and even allow you to use it as a mini-welder.]"
Yanim then gestured towards the holographic display. "[That is some impressive work Yanim. How long do you think it'll take before construction can begin?]"

"Why, it's a pleasure to meet you Mister Merner! I have to say, you are certainly more dashing than the previous person I've met." Zarbon remarked as he shook his hand.
"So is there a reason why you've called me here?"
