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.

Fareeha is in need of some very vigorous distraction, so she's arriving at the training rooms ready for a sweat.

Seeing someone else here, she stops and watches for a moment. "Hey, Murray, right? You're not too bad a shot."

She'l make a quick glance around as she strides in and settles her things down, finally noting Delta and the odd little egg.

"I can see that. When's the due date?"

"That must really keep you on your toes. Good thing you've got your little buddy to help you out." She gives Delta a wave.

"Sure, I'll give it a shot." Pun intended. She gears up, walks over, and looks at the arsenal he's got arranged. "Pretty standard selection." She pulls out one of his handguns and looks it over, testing the grip, and then turns towards the targets. "You want to, make a friendly bet?"

"I think 'baggage' comes with being a soldier, doesn't it?" She certainly had a sizeable set herself, so she wasn't about to judge. She tilts her head and smiles at him,

"Bragging rights only?"

At some point, Wash is going to make a cheat sheet of Things That Are Not Safe For Humans To Eat, because holy shit he's tired of being the only thing between ordering the wrong meal and taking an emergency trip to med bay. As it is, he stops in his tracks, reaches over the table, and pushes York's hand down flat, forcing him to drop the hot pink fruit he's holding. "You really don't want to eat that."
unrecovered: (Face: Uh-huh)

"This is the one that'll make you see shit," Wash confirms. He'd fallen down the spacefuture YouTube rabbit hole more than once, and one of those trips involved finding videos of humans eating the hallucination fruit for the hell of it and recording themselves. You can only see so many people tripping balls before you learn not to do it yourself. "Seriously, don't even lick your fingers."

The doctor's left them all with a lot to ponder on. It doesn't necessarily feel like progress, but it doesn't feel like a waste of time, either. Actually talking about things is his biggest challenge, finding the words, and when they strike upon something meaningful? It feels a little draining.

He has no real love of the stars, no poet's eye or romantic view of space after the time he's had out in it, but it's relatively quiet up here on most days. And he notices with a certain measure of gladness that York happens to be up here as well, Delta in tow.

As well as...hm.

"You have an egg." Most obvious statement of the decade, perhaps, but he's peering at it more than a little curiously now.

Okay, a jetpack would be pretty damn cool. Wash glances at York, then down at Delta, who does not seem at all contrite for his oversight. "I dunno, Delta," he says, almost singsong, "you don't want to end up like Georgia."

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?"

"Whatever is inside is meant to be your companion, then."

Locus gives it a considering look before nodding once, in what must be approval. "Good. They've proven to be very helpful."

And adorable. Luna was the cutest damn thing on the station as far as he was concerned. But who knew what lay inside that egg York was toting around.

"Had some trouble with teammates in the past?" It's asked out of concern and not judgement, but a moment later she shakes her head. "No, you don't have to answer that. It's none of my business."

But bragging rights, well ... if he's up for it she's up for it. "Shall we say, best out of ten?"

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."

"Do you know what sort of creature resides inside?"

At the gesture, Locus's brow creases faintly, but he takes a seat alongside him with a nod towards Delta. It's good to see the little AI as well, and more importantly it's good to see the two of them together.

Even with the risk of York seeing Delta as a hallucination.

And Locus is out of armor as a usual habit again. Not that he wants to, but he's been advised on numerous occassions that despite how it feels, it's probably not the best thing in the world.

And without it, he has this. A quiet moment with a friend, amiable contact, and a subtle contentment.

"When is it supposed to hatch?"
