Excusing yourself from the bridge, you make your way down to the Longinus’ main mess hall. Both so that you could have some food prepared by actual humans rather than mass-produced ready meals, and so that you could stretch your legs after being sat around for so long. Thankfully, you just about manage to beat out the rest of the crew. By the time you’re grabbing your food, the line behind you is stretching out of the hatch and into the corridor beyond.
It doesn’t take long for you to grab some food and find a seat, specifically, the window booth where you’d scarfed down your breakfast a few hours ago. Unfortunately, you soon find yourself sitting alone. Even though you’d done your best to foster an environment where people could come up and chat with the officers if they liked, there chains of command tended to deter people from taking the offer. The last thing anyone wanted was to accidentally say something that the boss took offense to.
“Mind if I join you sir?” Someone asked, and you looked up to see…
>One of the new department chiefs (Doctor Blanch, Chief Seph)
>Lieutenant Perkins, your long-suffering pelican pilot.
>Someone you don’t recognize, but they look like a civvie.
>Other (write in)
