The Tiamat

Arc Alpha: Chapter 2

You are still Lindi.

You make an announcement on the Tiamat's internet (and to the people on the bridge in person) that an expedition to the planet (Galactic Council designation: AE #612) is going to happen, you provide links so that anyone who wants to go can join or at least contact the people in charge. You meanwhile decide to assemble your own personal crew.

You are Laela. Your last name isn't important. Those are only used to prevent inbreeding and that's not possible on the Tiamat genetically speaking. Besides you're much too young to be worrying about breeding.

You are a gifted telepath, you have yet to meet a mind that is not a public access file to your prying mind. Thankfully you can control it so you aren't flooded with thoughts constantly. You are also a bit of a psychometric but that isn't as strong or useful to you. With that combination you guess that basically makes you a reader.

Your hoarding instinct compels you to collect [really wish I had that chart] other people's clothes. It's a bit annoying for them. You like them because they have the wearer's scent & psychic imprint. You keep them all very well organized.

You have a particular interest for social interaction & psychology, after all reading people's minds only reveals so much. You make good use of this interest by being ship psychologist. You also have interests in music & drawing but you suck at both. You dislike violence and aren't sure if you could ever bring yourself to kill something, so when push comes to shove you rely on your stun baton & rock salt shotgun.

You have dark purple scales, olivine colored eyes, a pair of small white horns, & wear a black dress with some sparklies on it so it looks like space.

[How many more times do I have to do introductions? ... damn]

The doors to your room open, it's the Captain. She apologizes for just barging in but you weren't responding to her knocking. You apologize and say that you were distracted by your hoard. She says it's fine, happens to everyone.

She informs you about AE #612 and the expeditions that will be going down. You don't know how this relates to you. You read her mind ... you inform her that that is a horrible reason to take you along. She sighs and accepts that you will not be accompanying her and begins to leave. You didn't say you were declining just that it was a bad reason. She thanks you and leaves to get the next member of the crew.

Well ... you guess you should gather your gear. When'd she say this was happening? That's right she didn't. You'll shoot her a message later.

Well ... that saves you some time. It was a bit rude admittedly but it does save you some time. So next would be ...

You are Falks, Falks Vi- no bad beetle! You psychic it into calmness.

You are the Tiamat's pest control & you also make sure proper decontamination.

Your hoarding instinct compels you to collect bugs. Bugs covers a lot of territory but it's pretty much understood what it means. Unfortunately bugs usually don't live very long so it's mostly preserved corpses but you do have some terrariums with living specimens.
