"These..." Xu'Orz waved his hand, addressing multiple suits tucked into an alcove, "...are E.E.P.S. Enclose Environmental Protection Stabilization Suits." Xu'Orz turned his attention to the helmet of one of the suits. "As you can see, these suits lack the typical visor found in many others, that...
"By all accounts..." Xu'Orz began speaking "...They should be near the airlock, for obvious reasons." He began to walk, his arms behind his back. "What I am going to teach you, is as follows: 1. Basic Operation of the suits, 2. How to use the additional hardware installed into the suits, and 3...
Xu'Orz turned a glance towards Talia. He took a moment to collect himself. "I suppose we have dwelled too long on this subject." He spoke in a half apologetic tone. Xu'Orz stood, assuming a sophisticated posture. He motioned for the recruits to follow with a slight jerk of his head.
Xu'Orz dismissed Ma'arz in a snarky manner. "The sanctions for her if she were to injure me in any way are much higher than my penance for a bout of taunting. I have nought to worry about." Xu'Orz took a moment to think. "Imagine the penalty for injuring a senior crew member on the very ship...
Xu'Orz's frustration twisted into a cruel laughter. "You seriously think the Commission, during an embargo, when every asset of theirs is contraband in Federation Space, would have one of their earliest, resource expensive, clones within a military vessel of the Federation?" Xu'Orz took his palm...
"You talk of honor? Tell me, where do you find honor in insulting a defector of the very entity you are enraged with?" Xu'Orz's face twisted into frustration. "You might as well chastise a refugee of war."
Xu'Orz shot a glance at Kqidons before routing his attention towards her. "Vagrok. What do you want? Need something to satisfy your bloodlust? I'm afraid can't supply you with anything from the laboratory." Xu'Orz put a particular poisonous tone on his last sentence.
Xu'Orz nodded his head. "It will be of no problem. I will ensure our new recruits are at least capable of utilizing the spacesuits." Xu'Orz took a long sip of his tea, and took a morsel of his food before padding his face with a delicate napkin. "I will only need to don more... professional...
"A binary system, eh? Not as uncommon as you would think Susan. Just most medias don't pay attention to them. Binary stars are more than common, they're just so common no attention is paid towards them. However, a lucrative mining planet may draw some attention for a bit." Xu'Orz paused as he...
Xu'Orz turned to address the captain. "Good Morn, Susan. Yes, I must say, Ma'arz is a fine addition to the crew. Say, Susan, have you any more information on the planet that we're landing on come the time? Rogue planets, at least from my experience, tend to carry with them unexpected features...
Words that I would live by?
"There's a positive side to everything, whether or not you will accept that is the question."
"It's fine to simply drift downstream, but sometimes, you must paddle yourself to the shore."
Xu'Orz caught himself, "Seems in my morning stupor, I forgot about that. I apologize. Yes, the mission onto that rogue planet. May it yield some valuable findings."
Xu'Orz swiveled his gaze towards the notepad presented. He stared at the words for a few moments before returning a notice...
