Futuristic The Titan

Once Ezro had finished up showering and cleaning himself off, he stepped out and quickly dried himself off. Looking himself over in the mirror, he closely examined all of the cuts, scrapes, and bruises all over his body. Overall he didn’t look too bad, it could still have been much worse. Quickly, Ezro dressed himself in the formal uniform that he rarely wore, only special occasions and such. He didn’t feel that he had to impress with his looks around his crew, but it helped to show how serious he took the matter. Once he was dressed, the young captain tied up his hair again before grabbing his dish, unaware of the changes made to it by Isek. Not that he was all that worried, he trusted his cook.

Taking his dish up to the small sanctioned dining room, used specifically for meetings with interspace officials when the ship was still owned by the ITF. The table wasn’t too long so he set the chairs up at opposite ends before adorning it with one of the table clothes provided. It was a simple white with black and gold patterns sewn into it with an solid gold edge outlining it. Next came the dining ware, which came clean and prepared by one of the many service bots that roamed the ship. As well as this there was a bottle of champagne, and although Ezro wasn’t a fan of the stuff he thought it would fit the mood. Lastly, he served up all the food on the plates with even portions for the both of them before having the last of it taken back to the kitchen for storage. Now all the captain had to do was let Zaera know everything was ready. Pulling out his data pod, he sent her a short message before going over the charter for Malalikia.

Zaera, feeling a vibration in her pocket, pulled out the data pod and quickly went over the captains message. Looking up at Lockes and shooting him a sheepish smile she said, "Speaking of which, I must get going." She typed back a quick message to Ezro saying how she'd be there in a bit and spun around on her heels, heading to her room. "Liana stop worrying about that damn robot, it won't hurt you!" she called out behind her.

She made her way to her quarters and took a quick, but thorough, shower. When she got out she already had an outfit in mind. It was a simple knee length dress, nothing too flashy but at the same time it wasn't boring; it fit the situation perfectly. She threw her hair up into a neat bun and began to make her way to the designated dining room. With a confident spring in her step she walked into the room to see Ezro, back facing her.

She took no time to clear her throat to grab his attention. "Strider, I'm surprised, you really do know how to clean up," she teased not even trying to hide the amused smile on her face.
 
Upon hearing the door open and the familiar sound of heels clicking on the floor, Ezro turned around to see Zaera. She looked very lovely in the dress, and the young captain couldn’t help but smile broadly at her teasing. “Well I may be a slight slob, an occasion like tonight cannot be taken lightly. Besides, dinner with you is certainly a better way to spend my evening as opposed to brooding alone in my quarters.” Walking over to the table, Ezro pulled Zaera’s chair before inviting her to sit down.

Once done, he carefully opened up the bottle of champagne and poored a glass for himself and Zaera. “I hope you don’t mind the more fancy setting and such, I know you’re used to me being a little more unsophisticated.” Having been seated himself, Ezro casually began gingerly sipping at his drink trying to keep in mind the once useless array of table manners he had learned for formal occasions. “So tell me, what have your thoughts been on my proposition? I know I must’ve come across as a little forward with the matter.”

Liana sighed, yeah maybe she was right but still she would be on the look out. Liana watched Zaera left. Probably heading to that dinner now.....Liana she sat in one of the seats and took out her data pod and started playing games on it. "Hey Lockes why are they treating this first mate thing so formally? It's weird." Liana said as she stared at her Datapod.

"I would hope so because the feeling is mutual," she said as she took her seat. Zaera watched as he went to sit down, her eyebrow quirked just a little bit. She quickly seemed to noticed how his whole demeanor changed for the situation, it was amusing. "Oh I don't mind at all. I find it endearing actually," she admitted, taking the glass from him and began eating.

At the mention of his preposition from earlier she froze for a second, almost forgetting that this was what this whole dinner was about. She looked up and met his eyes, a small uncertain look in hers. "I have thought it over, weighing the pros and cons, calculating what exactly this would mean for me and how it could effect future events and/or decisions," she said, more to herself than to Ezro, "and I think . . . I want to take the position. Not that I'll be any good at it but I'm willing to try and learn." A small smile began to stretch across her face.

"...Oh well, might, as well, take this time and read a dirty mag."

said Lockes, looking dumbfounded at all that was going on around him before then deciding to let everyone do whatever they wanted whilst he just waited on-board the ship at the deck, ready to receive the call to take the Titan back into space whenever the captain was ready to give the order.​
 
Liana suddenly felt someone behind her.

"FOUND YOU!"


Liana screamed and almost dropped her datapod then she turned around to see Marin8 carrying a tray of sweets?


"Want some sugar?"

Liana raised an eyebrow and slowly nodded then reached her hand out and took one. "T-thank you....." Liana said as she stuck it in her mouth.

“Good, I’m glad to hear it. I’d hate to have made myself out to be a fool over this whole thing.” And indeed a fool he would’ve been should he have been the only one dressed up for the occasion. Not to mention the formality and such, it didn’t match his personality or lifestyle at all. Frankly it was quite new to him.

As she be began to speak on the matter at hand, Ezro listened closely to the words she spoke. Inside he was begging, pleading even with whatever cosmic being there was in the universe that she’d accept his offer. Once Zaera’s decision was said, a sincere and almost proud smile stretched across Ezros face. “I’m honestly so very happy to hear that you have no idea. To me you’re he perfect fit for the job, even though you may not have experience in this area I assure you that I’ll try and teach you as much as I can.” Lifting his glass up for a toast, he spoke the next sentence with much pride and vigor. “To the Titan, and the crew it’s carries. Forever to prosper in the galaxy.”

"Oho! this month's magazine is pretty amazing, damn she's hot!"

said Lockes, leaning his elbow on the wheel of the Titan, as he read his "scriptures of adultery", the title of his magazine.​
 
Zaera was quite used to events like this, ones where she had to be quite proper and formal; at this point being formal like this was a second nature to her. Growing up on Dastrion behaving as such was ingrained into her mind at a very young age, and that's not something you can just wipe out easily.

She raised her glass too, her smile matching his. "To the Titan!" she said with a sweet trill in her voice. His words made things a bit easier for her to grasp the job that she just accepted. If you were to tell her past self that this would be what she's doing in the future she would've laughed in your face and stole your wallet, but would you look at her now! Official first mate of the Titan, what an accomplishment!

Taking a sip from her glass she smirked a bit into her drink. "Now I can't help but to wonder if the crew's dynamic will change because of this," she muttered to herself, thoughts suddenly wandering to the second mate of her ship, Liana.

As the two clinked glasses, Ezro took a sip of the drink doing his best to restrain himself with the beverage. As she brought up the point of dynamic changing, Ezro shook his head. “No I imagine things will remain virtually the same. The only difference of course is you’ll have a bigger responsibility on this ship, I imagine you’ll be helping me out with maintaining order and venturing out on some bounties if that’s what you’re into. Not to mention I’ll be needing the extra hand with planning and such, just so I get a second opinion as opposed to going’s off suggestions from Lockes. Hell knows I could use a voice of reason.” Ezro laughed but his voice fell for a moment. “There’s also a greater issue I’ve taken into account lately about having a first mate. I need someone I can trust that if anything were to happen to me, that they could take command and keep everyone else safe. And you, you’re so amazing at helping people and I know you’ll risk life and limb to keep everyone else safe. That’s just one of the many reasons why you’re perfect for the job.”
 
Looking up she shot Ezro a look. "You better not be planning on dying on us anything soon Strider," she said smirking. Truth be told of all of the things she mulled over, her potentially having to take over as captain of the Titan never once crossed her mind. Now that she thinks about it the position could be a rather curious one. "Frankly I think you're giving me more credit than necessary, but the flattery is nice so I won't complain," she joked with a small shrug.

Zaera glanced down at her plate then back at Ezro. "Now tell me captain, did you make this food yourself or did you have our dear friend Isek to help you?" Curiosity crossed her features.
 
“Oh trust me I don’t plan on it, but should that unfortunate event occur you’ll be here. The authority that comes with it is one that needs to be handled maturely as well, so once again you’re perfect for it all.” A smirk appeared on his face as he looked at Zaera, “Oh don’t be getting all bashful now. You know that I speak the truth, as flattery an false claims aren’t beneath me.”

Chuckling, Ezro rubbed the back of his head. “I made it myself, it’s a rather simple roast recipe that I’ve had under my belt. It’s one of the few things I can cook but it’s the best.” Suddenly he thought of how it turned out, “Is everything tasting alright? I’d hate to offend your taste buds.”

Isek is currently watching the Captain's date through the security cameras. Lockes had never noticed that Isek had rerouted the feed so he could access it from his datapad. Probably because of the brandy Isek had 'left unattended.'

Right now the Captain should be eating the roast. When Zaera ended up having to leave Isek would swoop in and salvage her evening. He just needed to-what was that croaking sound?


Elsewhere Marin8 was watching Liana eat the sweets it had made. Meatbags liked sugar because it was a stimulant right? So adding straight up stimulants to the sweets would therefore make them better. Liana would be literally able to jump off the walls with the amount of energy-boosters she'd just eaten.

Liana suddenly started to feel different and very good, happy energized......very energized and suddenly she started talking really fast and jumping around. “This is really good Marin8 I feel so energized I feel like I can do anything!” She started running around the room feeling like she needed to desperately move around. Then suddenly she stopped when she heard a noise and croaking sounds. She then bursted out running to find Lockes and screamed out his name over and over really fast. “Lockes Lockes Lockes Lockes Lockes Lockes!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She busted into whatever room he was in and started talking again really fast. “Lockes did you here that strange noise and the croaking!? It was really really really really weird!!” She appearing, at super speed, at different parts of the room a bouncing up and down.

"H-HUH!? WHAT!? I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE!"

shouted Lockes, as he quickly hid his dirty magazine behind his back before then realizing what Liana was saying to him:

"Huh? strange noise? croaking? what are you talking about Liana?"

said Lockes, not taking Liana seriously, believing that she was still scared and on the run from Marin8.​
 
Thought of the captain suddenly up and dying due to mysterious, untold events left a bad taste in her mouth. Not only would she be losing a captain but a close friend. Zaera pushed those thoughts to back of her mind, not wanting to mull over them at the moment.

She laughed a bit at his sudden back tracking. "No don't worry it's great! I was just wondering," Zaera reassured. "Iit's better than anything I can cook. Everything I make usually comes out ghastly and inedible," she said, trailing off with a giggle. So far this night seemed to be going well, and it was a direct stress reliever from their earlier encounters with the thugs.
