Winds of the Etherium

working for the cook

Gail POV

"That woman! That feline!" Doc began to rant, as me and Arrow shared a small worried glance. "who does she think is working for who!?" just as Doc finishes saying this Jim starts up 

"Its my map, and shes got me bussin' tables?" 

"I'll not tolerate a cross word about our captain!" Mr Arrow as the man slowly come to the stop at the end of the stairs and their complaints, Jim seems to look like he feels somewhat bad but Doc just seems angry. "There is no finer officer in this or any galaxy." just as Arrow says this we all turn to see a man whistling and suturing up a stew. "Mr. Silver!" Arrow says obviously done with the conversation from before

"Mr. Arrow! Bringin'in such fine and distinguished gents... and m'lady," he says peaking over Jim who i just happen to be standing behind. "to grace my humble galley." he continues with an exaggerated bow. "had I know I would have tucked in me shirt." as I recognize the voice I start to look the man up and down, when he noticed me I don't think he recognized me... just as I was thinking this I heard a small whisper come from Jim's mouth

"A cyborg!" 

It was so faint I almost didn't hear it, I knew though, this was the cyborg that I met on the way here. 

"May I introduce Dr. Doppler, the financier of our voyage." says Mr. Arrow oblivious to Jim's and my own discomfort. 

"love the outfit doc!" Mr. Silver says using his laser eye to scan over the suit.

"oh, well um thank you... love the eye... heh" Doc responds with a small uncomfortable chuckle "uh this young lad is Jim Hawkins, and this girl over here is Gail Stewart." Doc says quickly changing the subject

"Gail, nice to meet ya..." the cyborg says slowly as he reaches out his hand obviously recognizing me now, I give him a small glare and take his hand in a death grip handshake, i can see his jaw as his teeth slightly grind. he quickly pulls his hand out from mine as he extends his cyborg arm to Jim, who gives him an even meaner glare and doesn't even bother to shake his hand. 

"ahh now don't be too put off by this hunk a hardware." Silver says as he turns back to making food. slicing space shrimp shells and putting the insides into sauce pan, then he cuts up some unknown vegetables, i barely passed my herbology class. "whoa!" silver shouts as it seems his hand has seemingly been cut off but was just hidden by his sleeve. "these gears have been tough getting use too but they do come in mighty handy from time to time." he says cracking eggs into the same sauce pan. then he proceeds to cook that with the torch from his arm and throw it into the pot. "here, now, have a taste of me famous bonzabeast stew."

the doc looks down at it suspiciously as me and Jim share a glace, we seem to be friends now with a common enemy, but I still can't place him. It will definitely bother me until I figure it out. Doc takes a dog like sniff of the stew and tastes it 

"mmmm! Delightfully tangy, yet robust!" 

this give me the go ahead to give it a taste but Jim is still a little suspicious. 

"old family recipe." Silver says to Doc, just as an eye ball pops up in docs stew. 

"AHA!" Doc yells with disgust on his face, just as doc yells Silver looks up to see the eye and chuckles a little 

"in fact, that was part of the old family!" Silver says with a hardy laugh, me and Jim look at each other in surprise wondering if it was true. "I'm just kiddin' Doc! I'm nothin' if i ain't a kidder." silver finishes giving Jim a small nudge. "Go on, Jimbo! Have a swig." but just as Jim looks down at his spoon to take a bite his spoon seems to bend into the shape of a mouth, i hear a audible gasp from him as i look over to see Jim's spoon turning a see through pink and morphing into a small blob
