Amelia giggled at Keigo’s words.
Jonathan snickered, then stepped into the ship, casually whistling again. Boris laughed, following Jonathan.
“I like you already, Kei. Sucks that I missed you kicking the shit out of ol’ shithead for real,”Bull commented, then stepped inside.
“It’s going to be absolute chaos,”Amelia remarked, snickering.
“ yeah, yeah it is “ he said and walked down the ramp “ text me what they like to eat, “ he said while heading off into town for supplies
“Alright,”Amelia replied.
She went inside to check on everyone and remind herself of everyone’s favorite foods. She also added the ingredients for Boris’ stew in the text.
Boris and Bull continued with their bantering, something that Jonathan found completely amusing. Amelia couldn’t help but smile, pleased that she was reunited with the gang that had been her family for many years of her life.
Keigo came back, most of the boxes he loaded up himself and came in with more than too many bags on his arms. He looked like a mom.
Amelia waited nearby and giggled when she saw him.
“Need some help, love?”
She grabbed some bags from him before he could object. Then, she followed him.
Keigo sighed when she took the bags “ two bags have toacis food in, the rest go to the kitchen. “ he said, “ I don't think any of us want to eat bird seen for supper.”
Amelia laughed, nodding.
“No, definitely not. And Toaci wouldn’t appreciate it if we ate his food either,”she said, still laughing.
She dropped off most of the bags in the kitchen, then took the ones with bird seed into Keigo’s room.
Keigo stayed around the ship and got ready to start the systems. He watched as the holograms appeared and he settled for standing and directions the ship out of the docks.
Amelia came up to Keigo, smiling warmly.
“Need a co-pilot? I’m not very familiar with this ship, but I’m a quick learner,”she asked.
Jonathan appeared abruptly, a big smile on his face and carrying a thermos. He glanced around a moment, fascinated.
“Not to interrupt anything, but I fucking love your coffeemaker. And the tech in this place is just gorgeous! I think I’m in love with this beautiful woman,”Jonathan said, patting the wall to indicate the ship as the ‘woman’.
Jonathan then disappeared as abruptly as he had appeared, laughing as he went back to his room.
“Don’t mind him. He did this every time we got a new ship. Give him a few hours and he’ll have a description of what sort of woman this ship would look like,”Amelia commented, giggling.
Keigo laughed a little “ wanna see something funny?” he opened a comm to Johnathan too. “ the woman's name is Bessie “ he said with a smile.
Jonathan gasped excitedly at the name.
“Yes! I love it! She single? Do ya know? Bessie, are ya single? Shit, there’s a little woman in the back. I hope that one hasn’t already taken Bessie. Or… maybe they’re both open. Hmm… Anyways, I’m just going to step back into my cave here, and dream about Bessie for a while,”Jonathan said, laughing and ending the call.
Amelia burst into laughter.
Keigo had only had an absolute look of confusion “ hah!?” he yelped, keigo just put his hands up and walked away, “ all yours”
Amelia laughed again.
“Beta-Man’s happy, so he’s back to his hyper self,”she said, giggling.
“I’m not sure if you heard my question, since Beta-Man appeared. You need a co-pilot?”she asked
“ actually, yeah, that would be nice” he said, Keigo stood behind her and reached to grab her hands “ Bessie adjust” he said and the computer responded to his command, becoming level with Amelia.
“Wow. Definitely more high-tech than my little ship, but she’s a few years old and wasn’t the most high-tech anyway,”Amelia said in amazement.
It took her only a few moments to figure out where everything was and she smiled thoughtfully.
“ I'm going to go chuck up on the crew, have fun love,” he said and headed to Boris’s room first.
“Alright,”Amelia said, smiling wide.
She went back to gazing over the holograms, feeling quite content to be back to flying.
Boris was sorting through his medical supplies, double-checking everything. His room was neat with a couple small paintings of an ocean hanging on the walls.
“ hey, has my medic given your the records yet? He asked if he could teach you about my condition, “ he spoke softly.
Boris looked up.
“Yeah. I’ve been talking to him. I am going through everything I got, and so far it seems that I’m prepared. I haven’t dealt with too many folks with seizures, but I was watching him closely in the tent, so it should be fine,”he replied.
“ Thanks by the way,” he said gratefully. Keigo sat by him “ so need any help?”
“No problem,”Boris replied.
To Keigo’s question, he shrugged.
“It’s been awhile since I’ve had to move to another ship, but it’s not the first time. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. But, I was thinking that, once this was somewhat organized, I’d head to the kitchen and start making my stew. It’d be a nice treat to celebrate this whole situation. A nice change of scenery, a captain I can actually respect, the whole lot,”Boris answered, chuckling.
“ well I gave Amelia control of the ship so I'm a bit bored at the moment “ he said awkwardly
(Sort of improvising here)
Boris chuckled.
“You’re alright. Here, you can help me sort these,”Boris said, handing Keigo some tools and telling him what needed to be sorted.
“It’s nice that Amelia’s flying again. Just keep an eye on her. She’ll go a full thirty-six hours without sleep just because she loves piloting. True story, by the way. After that, Shank had to steal the seat from her just so she could sleep. Though, her love for flying is nothing compared to tinkering. She’s got a gift with mechanical things, let me tell you,”Boris said, somewhat rambling.
“ she's fixed my ship quite a bit, and Bessie will literally make her sleep. If there are too many hours clocked under one pilot shell lock access to the pilot. Plus I have a few good ways of getting her to sleep” he said while putting the tools away.
Boris laughed.
“That’s all cool. And since she’s already acquainted with this ship, don’t be surprised if she tries to add modifications in the future. Once she gets to know Bessie, she’ll be doing her best to make her even better than she already is,”he said.
