Who| York, Delta, and YOU! (special guest star: egg)
What| Knocking around Legion World, carting about a mysterious egg.
Where| Observation Deck, Mess, Training Rooms
When| After THATH/OM/GOU
Warnings/Notes| N/A
(A) - Observation Deck
All this calm quiet is oppressive on occasion- too familiar to the absolute nothing that he can distantly recall with a chill down his spine when things are too still. Too dark. But after long days full of people and noise and life? When he's almost overworked and overstimulated, all but vibrating out of his skin? It's soothing. As long as he doesn't stare too much. Today between monitor duty and Flight Ring training and his own programs running around in the back of his mind he needs that quiet space. His most recent meeting with Dr. Ry'kerr's left him with a lot to think about and a small package he's been told to keep warm.
So.
Sitting in the middle of all this quiet with a handheld heater wrapped in a green scarf as he contemplates both the stars and the strange football sized egg now in his care. Delta perches on his shoulder, running through a few encryption puzzles.
(B) - Mess Hall
Vague countdowns with indefinite deadlines are the worst. Not knowing when or how this thing'll hatch is killing York- but not so much that he'll obsess with research too much. He carries both the wrapped egg and Delta to grab lunch, minding it with one hand while poking through a catalog of cybernetic eyes. Medical tech being what it is he could just get a new one grown or...something? He's not familiar enough and the idea gives him an odd sense of vertigo he thinks about it too hard. Something that'll let him see without trying to be his? That's easier to hold onto. D offers his two cents here and there between dissecting a platter of fruit for York's perusal, nudging his hand away from the things that are probably some kind of caustic.
(C) - Training Room
Delta's in charge of keeping the temperature even around the egg, sitting next to it, not on it, despite York's promising that the egg can probably take it and that it'd be damn cute. York focuses on range time. It's not entirely unlike the leaderboard drills for speed and accuracy at close, mid, and long range. He alternates between his charged, thrown marbles, handguns, shotguns, and a stun variant of a battle rifle that has the right weight and kick to it. Running these numbers against Delta's on board backups of his scores when he had both eyes and just comparing the two.
Gathering data, more or less. Trying to make up his mind.

"...Look I'm sorry I said your jetpack idea for your body was silly." Even if it is. Delta angles his head up to York for a moment before resuming more thorough scans of the fruit. York, well. Gets a napkin to start scrubbing his hand. "Since tripping balls is not what I wanna do today- thanks, Wash."
no subject
He still has no idea what that means, because he still has no idea what happened to Georgia. He's also not about to bring that up.
"You're welcome." He takes a seat at the table, snags a piece of (safe, non-toxic, non-hallucinogenic, still incredibly alien) fruit off York's plate, and shrugs. "So, what's with the egg?"
no subject
Not thinking about that. "You still don't wanna know."
He knows and he wishes he didn't know. Egg, now. Egg is a safe topic. "Incubating it is supposed to be part of the bonding process? The Doc said I ought to have an animal that isn't familiar. Something I couldn't possibly make up. I figured I'd try getting a dog you know, like they did back home- but since that ties into my occasional bouts of unreality-"
His thumb swipes gently on the surface of the egg. "Alien therapy animal."
no subject
Of course, that's not going to stop Wash from giving York grief over it. He glances at the egg, then back to York. "So you're hatching a space emu."
no subject
And that'll be fun. "Please nothing punny."

Poking fun at himself is more reasonable than poking fun at Wash most of the time nowadays. Turn those bites inward with a half smile- at least until 'Emu'. "Dude- you don't wanna meet them first?"
Delta, the little shit, shrugs. "It is a perfectly valid name."

Like. Seventy percent sure.

Or.
Tries to. It's dry and digital and brief. "It is only fair, Taylor. You cannot ignore the Dibs Protocol."
