[Away Mission:] Arrivals Post, Alemar III (Party Post!)
"Welcome, everyone, to geothermal field two-nine-one," Dr. Johanna Sk'Amor says, once everyone has gathered in the entryway.
The shuttlebay the group has just left is behind them, while the large entrance to the facility is directly ahead. The building is quite spacious, and despite the high volume of visitors no one is cramped for space while standing here. It's like a museum lobby, with fixtures in the center of the room and wings on either side. While the design is not as bright and clean as the Enterprise, the high ceilings and white walls give a feeling of spaciousness. To the right is the main observation room, where the convex wall making up one full corner of the drilling facility is primarily floor-to-ceiling windows. The vistas beyond are stunning: tall, grey mountains and low valleys, all covered with snow. To the left is a winding staircase that leads to an upper level, and beyond that are several labs.
"This is one of five scientific outposts located on Alemar III," the doctor continues. "At one time we had seven, but two have been destroyed by earthquakes. Alemar III is highly geologically active, so our remaining facilities have been reinforced to withstand even the most devastating natural disasters. There's nothing to worry about, our engineers are some of the best in the quadrant, but if you feel some tremors while you look around just keep in mind that this is normal.
"Two of our outposts are at the polar north and south of the planet, while the other three, this one included, are evenly spread across the globe. Our staff is small, only about ten scientists and five archaeologists, and enough engineers to keep everything in working order. In all, the entire planet only has about ninety occupants at any given time. It's rare that we're able to entertain guests.
"If you'll follow me, I'll show you some of the work we accomplish here."
[ooc: This post is open to those who signed up for our game plot only! As it's being run party post style, all characters are encouraged to tag in and mingle; since teams have not been divided yet, any participating character can tag anyone else, you don't have to stick only to those on your teams. You may also tag in as many top level threads as you choose if you're doing the full tour, just be sure your character ends up in the room where their team will be positioned for the rest of the plot (for those who will be divided in the mines due to cave-ins, the main mine connects to many other rooms and alcoves, so simply tag in under the Main Mine subheading and have your characters move around the different passageways to explore. Wherever rocks fall, that's where the rooms will be divided). Threadhopping and backtagging are encouraged! This post will remain open for as long as it takes all characters to tag in.]
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
That would be the question of the woman standing not far too back of group.
She's all hard lines, from her expression to her posture to the black leather of her outfit and the severe tight braid of her long dark hair. It's not even that she very specifically cares. But she knows how these kinds of place run, and the tour lady who still hadn't run out of explanations and things to tell them did just say.
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
Instinctively he stands a little taller, but not in a threatening manner, just recognizing that she isn't to be taken lightly. A sign of respect. Whether she takes it that way or not is another story, but that is what is his intent.
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
He doesn't defend or apologize, and she doesn't shift. Not to call anyone, to step close or to step away. It makes her think of a standoff, but one that doesn't involve firearms. She always liked those ones better. But even though she has her pulse pistol, her hand isn't on it. This isn't that.
Evenly, she asked, "What are you doing?"
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
"I am studying the artifacts that they have cataloged. Learning about the people that once lived here."
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
"Because it interests me." it's the most straight forward answer and therefor the one he offers.
"What are you doing here?" because clearly she isn't interested in the artifacts, or this culture.
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
It's incredibly clear and direct. Because there is one.
But, also, potentially, because there aren't other answers.
Re: Science Lab & Library: Aboveground Facilities, Upper Level
He gives her a nod. Not approval because she doesn't need that from him, no reason to care what he thinks. But it is a nod of understanding.
no subject
Before her eyebrows raise, and she looks to the side, and moves on, back toward the group.
It's not really her business that he's breaking the rules, and it's not really her business if he breaks it.
