(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.

Wash bites back the urge to press - he actually does want to know - and instead munches on his stolen fruit while York explains. Therapy animals make sense - DC is helping him, and Luna is helping Locus - and if normal animals won't work, then spacefuture Neopet it is.

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."

Wash just raises an eyebrow slowly. "Says the guy who came up with DC." Now that York has given him that caveat, he's required to either break it or go nuts in the opposite direction. He's got nothing punny to go on right now except 'blue' and 'egg,' so opposite direction it is. "Your name," he informs the egg, very seriously, "is Emu."

"Am I? Because I didn't get that briefing." He smirks, waiting for the reaction to that name, and- yep, there it is. "Nah, I'm good. You're hatching a space emu and you don't want puns, so...pretty straightforward."

"How do you know that a Monala isn't a space emu?"

"Okay, so a space platypus." A beat. "Named Emu."

"Probably," Wash replies, flippant and unbothered. He glances at Delta. "Does it count as the International Dibs Protocol if the word dibs was never actually used?"

"Good enough." Wash shrugs and nabs another piece of (perfectly safe) fruit off York's plate.
