After they all got to the stateroom, the captain continued what she was saying. "To muse the blabber in front of this, particular crew, demonstrates a level of ineptitude...that borders on the imbecilic, and I mean that in a certain caring way." She smirks. "Now about that map. Let's see it." She says in a stern tone. Jim looks over at Doppler for the ok, he nods, Jim tosses the spherical map to the captain. She catches it with ease, and and examines it carefully. "Fascinating." She says quietly. She walks over to a cabinet, and opens it. "I am Captain Amelia but, Mr. Hawkins, you shall address me as Captain or ma'am, am I clear?"

Jim, being the angsty teen his is, didn't answer at first. "Mr. Hawkins." Amelia looks back at him with a glare. "Yes ma'am." He mutters. "That will do I suppose." She sighs. "Now, not another word about this map around that crew, and you doctor." She looks over at Doppler. "With the upmost possible respect, zip your howling screamer!" She hisses. "Mr. Arrow, if you will direct these two galley. Mr. Hawkins, you will be working for our cook, Mr. Silver." With a few complaints from Jim and Doppler, Arrow guided them down to the kitchen.

"Mr. Silver." Arrow spoke up. The sound of gears turning filled their ears. "Ah, Mr. Arrow sir! Bringin' such fine and distinguished gents down to my humble galley." Says the mysterious stranger. "Had I known, I would have tucked in me shirt." He chuckled, he moved further into the light, where Jim had gotten a better view of him. His eyes widened as he gazed at the man's robotic arm, leg, and eye. "A cyborg..." He said under his breath. "May I introduce, Mr. Doppler." Arrow points to the Doctor. "He is the financier of our voyage." The cyborg's eye laser looks up and down Doppler's odd suit. "Love the outfit, Doc." Doppler awkwardly covered himself. "Eh, thank you. Love the eye."

"And this young man, is Jim Hawkins." Arrow introduced. "Jimbo! Nice to meet ya lad. Just call me Silver." The cyborg holds out his hand, Jim backs up slightly. "Ah, don't let this hardware throw you off." Silver chuckles. "Wouldn't harm a fly." He goes back to his cooking. He quickly whipped up a stew and handed them to Jim and Doppler. Suddenly, the stew that Jim held started to move around on its own before being sucked up by a strange small pink blob. It let out a tiny belch before floating up. "Morph!" Silver chuckles. "You ball of mischief, so that's where you've been hiding!" The morph giggled and floats around Silver's head. "What is that?" Jim asks curiously. "What is that?" The copied mocked in a higher pitched voice.

"He's a morph. Me and him have been together for ages." Silver says as Morph nuzzles his cheek. "Aw, yes we have." Silver cooed. "We're about to take off." Arrow chimed in. "Doctor, would you like to observe the launch?" He asks. "Would I? Does an active galactic nucleus have superluminal jets?" Doppler asks excitedly, Arrow looked at him confused. "Yes, the answer is yes." Doppler says awkwardly before following him out. Before they left, Arrow turned back to Jim. "Mr. Hawkins will be staying here with you Mr. Silver." Before the two had time to complain, Arrow added. "Captain's orders!" With that he left Jim and Silver alone. "So." Silver began. "Captain's left you with me? Well, who am I to argue with the captain?" Silver got back to work.

"Mhm." Jim hummed. He kept his distance from Silver, still suspicious of him. "You know, these purps are a lot like the ones back where I'm from." Jim takes one of the purple fruits. "Back on Montressor. You ever been there?" Jim glances at Silver. "Can't say I have, Jimbo." Silver smiles. "Really? Come to think of it, there was this old guy, who was looking for a cyborg." Jim tosses the purp up and catches it smoothly. "What was that old guy's name again...oh yeah...Bones. Billy Bones." Silver hummed. "Don't recall any bones. May have been looking for another cyborg, there's a whole slew of us roaming around." Before Jim could question him even further, the same girl from earlier walked in. "We're about take off, might wanna get ready." She says as looks over at Jim. "Especially you, new comer."

"Why, hello Y/n lass. Have you met Jimbo here?" Silver asks. "Nah, but I did catch him staring at me earlier. Did I have something on my face?" Y/n walks over to him. "Or was it the arm?" She shows off her robotic left arm. "Uh, yeah, sorry about that." Jim says awkwardly. "Eh, don't worry about it Jimbo." Y/n smiles. "It's Jim." He corrects her. "Jim." She smirks. "Cool name. Now get ready you two." She says before walking back up the stairs. "You heard the lass." Silver nudges Jim on. Jim looked back at him one last time before leaving. "Best be keeping an eye on that one, ey Morph?" Silver scowls slightly. "Don't want him to stray into things he shouldn't."
