Oh, yah! And I think the ship looks good! Where's our Captain?
Naw, i'll pop in time from time....perhaps post more irrelevant things. I got a LOT of crud to sort out in reality and am kind of swamped
. But i'll be around. And a love slave as a second in command? Sounds intersting.
Happy flying and God speed

Companion? The word makes Shanti nearly choke. Companions had choice, free-will, education, safety! Shanti had known none of these things. She puts the lid over the steaming rice, and turns to Mononoke slowly.
At the other woman's words, Gail had snickered, but hadn't said anything and Shanti tried to ignore him. Shanti spoke quietly. "You worked for Mr Universe, right?"
When Mononoke nodded, Shanti turned sideways, rolling up her sleeve. "Then you know should know what this is."
The brand is tattooed on her upper arm, the black mark of her shame, her pain - the mark of a ranked and paid for slave.
Now Mononoke frowns in recognition, exclaiming, "You're one of the Chyeh! That's...I thought that was illegal!"
"In civilized places, maybe. Not out here." Shanti sighs, pushing down her sleeve again. "I escaped. Still, it's all I really know."

Shanti watched Mononoke go, tears burning her eyes once more. How could she live up the Captain's expectations of her as a first mate?
Mononoke was clearly disgusted by her, now that she knew she was a slave. Why else would she have turned away so quickly?
As quickly as she could, Shanti finished making dinner, filling two plates and setting them aside before hitting the com button; "Dinner's on the table. Puro,sir? Darren, sir? I'll bring your plates directly."
Quickly she put a fresh bottle of wine and the teapot on the table before scooping up the two filled plates and delivering one to the bridge before making her way down to the engine room.
She can hear Darren singing something to himself as she approaches, an old tune that comforts her somewhat as she knocks tentatively on the doorframe. "Brought your dinner, sir."

It's okay Sam I forgive you.
Darren puts down the magazine he was reading and said "Come in Shanti."
Shanti opened the door and walked in she said as she saw the magazine laying on the work bench "Should I put your plate on that work bench there Darren sir?"
Darren smiled and said "Please. Thank ya for bringin' my dinner ta me."
Shanti smiled as she put the plate of food down on the bench. She gave a quizical look at the magazine cover wondering what it said.
"It's called Mechanics Monthly." Darren said as he saw her look at it. "Oh and ya don't have ta call me sir. Darren is just fine."
Shanti nodded as she turned to walk out of the room. She turned around, smiled at Darren and said "You're welcome for food Darren."
At that Shanti headed back to the galley more happy now than she was a few minutes ago.

She paused at the Infirmary door, "Doctor, Sir? Are you coming to dinner? Or should I bring you a plate?"
"No need to wait on me. I'll be up in a minute." Doctor Laup looks like death warmed over. He pushed to his feet and splashed cold water over his face.
Back in the Galley, Shanti fills her own plate without waiting for the others, and studies the schematics a little further, the plan beginning to cement in her mind.

Darren's mouth watered at the food on his plate. Shanti was a damn fine cook. Darren dug into the plate of food and was at a loss at how to explain how good it was, so he just kept eatting.
