Kaylee as Bridge Officer. Noted. Welcome to Happy Space Adventure Club. We have Skittles and M&Ms and Vodka. You gotta bring your own soda. 😁

"Hey Ben, you got the new Happy Meal with Tartarus action figures?"

"Oh hi Toren! Yup, I just got Elara with light up laser and real karate chop action!"

"Oh wow! I'm getting my chicken nugget meal right now! I got The Rec! Yay!" πŸ˜‚

I love this idea. Just totally sell out in order to advertise to kids.

"Look how fast that space slug is moving!"

"I know Cap, we can catch it if we fill the Engines with Red Bull!"

"That'll give the ship wings!"

It's my kid friendly version of Statues πŸ˜‚ The Tartarus crew have to zip around the galaxy fixing minor problems here and there lead by their amusing helpful computer assistant The Rec.

Yay! Thanks Tina. These two haven't long met and they are pretty good buds already. Fun pair to write. 😊

He unclipped, leaned over the safety rail and shouted to Alex; β€œYou all good?”
The pilot looked flustered. β€œYou ever notice how we get the last second warning and get the tumble drier treatment down here, while up in the main decks, it’s all β€˜weeee, happy Space Adventure club’?”
Ben laughed loudly. β€œYeah, it’s a terrible life huh. We spend most of our time playing cards and getting paid, while those freeloading Officers sit in the lap of luxury just making the ship go.”
He saw Alex smile despite himself. β€œOkay Captain Optimism, it could be worse. But a cushion for the crash seats, it’s not much to ask.”
β€œCan’t disagree with you there. My butt cheeks did get tenderised. Fry them up, they’d be better than rations at least.”
It was Alex’s turn to laugh. He climbed the ladder to the gantry, footsteps thudding on the metal. As his head emerged, he reached out a hand, Ben leaned down taking it, the light brown of his broader forearm contrasting with Alex’s skinny sun starved wrist.
As his feet touch the metal grating, breathing heavily Alex said, β€œAlright Atlas, you can put me down! Food?”
Ben released his grip, glancing at his watch, β€œIt’s not lunchtime yet.”
β€œBreakfast time. All that talk of fried butt cheek made me hungry!”

Quite affable I'd say. All of them are pretty easy going. They have a job to do and drama doesn't help anyone. Elara and Caul are not best buds, but that's a little unfriendly banter at worst. They annoy the Captain one too many times though. The Rec doesn't count πŸ˜‚ that thing doesn't like anyone.

Good. Glad that's settled. Shed appreciate it if you'd stop looking, it's warm in here, that's why her cheeks are rosey. And she normally wears this mascara anyway. So what?

I'm sure he will be back in, then out again several times for some tomfollery during the wait. Planet side with freely available smokes? Lots of outdoor time. πŸ˜‚

Elara doesn't mind the flirting. The scowling is normal. It's not a scowl anyway. Not at all. Obviously. Why would she care? Pish, nope.

Crew meal out: Elara would try to leave angrily, while Caul flirts with the staff to convince them. Toren is seething with outrage, but sneaks off for a couple of smokes during the wait. While Kaili, Ben and Alex are entertaining one another with crap jokes and fooling around.

Well don't die. That's my patented Jim advice.

Just know that whatever the Rec does, it does for its own reasons. Whether those align with Elara and her crew isn't a primary or secondary consideration. 😁

Wrote a big batch of draft 2, but I'm very very far away Charlie. I wish I could just blip to the time when it's done and send it over ha.

Thanks Charlie. This is a really fun question. Got me thinking about everyone now. But the Alex one was baked in from the get go. πŸ˜‚ Same with Toren-Ser Jorah. Ian Glenn is my fantasy casting for Toren πŸ˜‚

I had a feeling the Rec one might be readable πŸ˜‚ who can ever tell what that thing is up to? 😁
