    Cero nodded and ran a hand over his golden mane, sighing a bit. He left to check if the training grounds were worth anything, just to pass the time. Meditation couldn't hurt either before the rages of war filled his every sense.
    Maybe he would find a quiet area with a beautiful view.

    Habevi, after speaking with the admiral started to feel relatively burdened with all the heavy equipment he was carrying around, so he decided to go check out the cabin to rest in the short time span he had before they all took off to their destination.
    As soon as he got in to the cabin he sat down and looked around.
    Maleth, Kalle and TuskatheDaemonKilla like this.

    While the others dispersed from the bridge, Daruk remained. He did not know the Taurus as well as he would've liked, and he elected to acquaint himself with the bridge crew and probe their officers for information concerning the massive carrier's operations. To stand on the bridge of a Wessari starship was a sturdy affair, its construction simulating the safety of standing on solid ground expertly. While other empires may satisfy themselves with something flashy or high-tech, the Wessari contented themselves with that which could be relied upon and trusted. The known. The strong and immovable. That was their way.

    Daruk walked the bridge, now and then asking officers about the goings on, familiarizing himself with the equipment, before he took a lift down from the bridge again and resolved to visit the armory staff and the marine barracks. After all, these were the areas of operation he was most likely to engage with.

    "Thank you admiral, and it is a pleasure to meet you, and be aboard your vessel, since there is little for us to do is there anyone else aboard we should get to know, aboard your vessel or personal that you may want us to meet for easier time aboard your vessel?" Baron asked Joris appeared for a moment on his shoulder the AI making his presence known as it had been known sometimes there had incidents where AI that arent fully known by the command staff could cause incidents between groups thinking one AI is being used to spy when its purposes where another.

    The Admiral didn’t look back this time as he observed the planet’s surface from the window. “The Head Quartermaster in the armory would be a man you become familiar with over the coming months. My second command as well but he is currently aboard another ship in the fleet so you won’t be able to talk to him at the moment. The ground commanders in charge of the planning the cleansing campaigns for the individual planets are also busy. I would say most if not all high ranking officers are busy at the moment. Moving ten thousand ships at the same time while in formation is difficult to coordinate, who knew.” The Admiral didn’t leave much room for response.

    @Kalle
    After several brief conversations about the movement of equipment and personnel as well as the minute movements of the ship so it will avoid crashing into other vessels as the entire fleet hung in orbit around the planet. Fairly mundane things since they weren’t in combat after all but when that does come the bridge crew clearly knew what they were doing. The visit to the armory was a similar situation as the quartermaster barked orders to labor robots. Given the size of the ship this armory was one of many but it was still massive. It appeared more like a warehouse than an armory with crates presumably filled with various weapons stacked in rows and secured by straps in case the ship’s gravity were compromised. The Quartermaster seemed too busy to speak to Daruk so he found himself leaving for the barracks before the seemingly unpleasant man noticed him.

    The nearest marine barracks block was from what he first saw a long hallway with many doors separated by a large amount of distance. Upon inspection he would find each door lead to a specific barracks however most of them were empty at the moment as the marines were mobilized to assist with the current logistics nightmare. As such there wasn’t a soul around besides the occasional barracks of soldiers meant for a different shift when the ones currently awake were asleep.

    Nazara found herself taking the magnet trains across the ship as she saw to take the Admiral’s advice to heart. Everywhere she went the ship seemed to be busy except for the recreational areas which for the most part were barren besides some crew(which she found was mostly Wessari) who found themselves without work at the moment. By far the most busy places on the ship were the hangers as shuttles came and went constantly with whatever they had dropped off be it crew or material items being moved about as quickly as possible. Seemed to be a bit of a scramble as the scheduled time for departure came closer and closer.

    @Wincent @SpaceHulk
    The Lieutenants that went to their quarters would find everything relatively plain when it came to decoration but had everything required to live comfortably on the ship for an extended time. Beds, private restrooms, closets, and anything else needing really. Though they wouldn’t find any food stores or anything to cook food within the rooms. All meals would be served in the nearest officer’s mess hall and it wasn’t recommended to bring food into their rooms. Of course there was no one to stop them if they did it was simply a recommendation. Other than that they would both notice each other as they entered their respective rooms though given each of them was probably the largest sentients on the ship it wouldn’t be considered difficult.

    @Maleth @Wata
    A short one wearing a black cloak standing in front of five individuals who seemed to be variations of the same humanoid race. Behind the cloaked figure there was some kind of chitin thing that was rolled into a ball on the ground behind the cloaked figure. They appeared to be instructing the others and as she drew closer she would she would hear the small cloak covered creature speaking in a raspy voice. “Since you five have only just arrived I will give you a brief overview of the MK 5 Mayhem pattern bioform.” It said as it touched the chitin ball which suddenly unfurled into a strange creature taking a quadrupedal stance. It's thin tail writing in the air as its eyeless head moved around. “The MK 5 when not in use is normally kept in artificially induced hibernation allowing easy storage and eliminating the need for vast quantities of food to have to be stored with them as in their hibernating state they require little to in some cases no nourishment as their vital systems practically freeze.”

    The creature growled and the cloaked figured turn their head towards it and Jakora could feel him placing his influence over the beast’s mind. The creature sat down and stopped all noise. “As you can see when in an activated state they are naturally very hostile. Testing when they were still in development showed specimens left to their own devices will inevitably kill each other until one is left standing. Which is why your duties as handlers are so important. Without you these creatures would tear into each other more than the enemy. Onto their biology the like all creatures designed by the Order’s labs once killed the creature’s genetic structure will deteriorate at an unnatural rate. Both making it impossible to copy the genetic code from cells collected from a dead specimen and also causing the creature’s body to deteriorate as well. The same effect happens if a limb is severed or severely damaged.”

    He placed a hand on the creature’s pale green chitin covered head. “Given the nature of our enemy that comes as a useful feature as a pile of dust cannot be converted. Their brains have also been extended into their spinal column making it possible to function a limited capacity with a severely damaged head or even without one. As you can see right now the creature is taking a quadrupedal stance but they are also capable of walking on their hind legs.” He sent a command to it and it moved up to a bipedal stance to demonstrate. “They also possess limited regenerative capabilities inside of combat allowing them to continue combat with broken limbs along with several mechanisms to prevent excessive bleeding.” To demonstrate the brought a dagger made of some black metal and grabbed the creature by the tail and with a swift moment cut it off from the base. The creature didn't make a noise and a couple of drops of a turquoise blood dropped from the wound before it closed.

    The cloaked figure held the tail in his hands as it immediately began to deteriorate with flakes coming off and dissipating in the air. “Once put into hibernation the creature’s body will begin to regrow the tail but until then it will compensate for the loss of the tail as best it can. Most likely avoiding climbing and staying on the ground.” He seemed to have finished talking as it placed one end of the tail presumably in his mouth. Or at least that is what could be assumed from the loud crunch and the shocked faces of the five humanoids. As this happened Cero had just entered the training grounds just in time to witness the small creature bite into the tail.

    Nazara found herself taking the magnet trains across the ship as she saw to take the Admiral’s advice to heart. Everywhere she went the ship seemed to be busy except for the recreational areas which for the most part were barren besides some crew(which she found was mostly Wessari) who found themselves without work at the moment. By far the most busy places on the ship were the hangers as shuttles came and went constantly with whatever they had dropped off be it crew or material items being moved about as quickly as possible. Seemed to be a bit of a scramble as the scheduled time for departure came closer and closer.

    Being on a Synchronized vessel and a vessel like Taurus - a starship detached from an Evermind holds few but very gaping differences for Nazara. For one, the ship`s layout while clear in Observer`s mind was not clear to her body, a detachtment between learned and instinctive knowledge existed. Several times she stood on one of many decks of the supercarrier taking more then a moment to orientate herself.

    A degree of practice was needed in the absence of a positronic communion hub such as Evermind constructs and the recon across Taurus`s interior was proving very useful. Especially if she is to serve prolonged time on this vessel, it would be wise to familiarize herself intimately with its nooks and cranies. Such behaviour might be seen by anti-Federation elements as an act of espionage but she will do everythig in her powers to calm such voices. She was both amazed and confused at the fact that not all races accepted the fledgling Federation unanimously. Some feared for their identity, some prefered their previous isolationist status and other saw potential enemies. Different factions reacted differently based on their civilizational level.

    @TuskatheDaemonKilla
    The hubhub of the busy hangers and cargo holds spoke of massive logistical pressure and without disturbing the careful hierarchy of the working personnel she utilized her position of a lieutenant to alleviate some of the burden. Her cognitive abilities may prove more then useful here.

    Daruk elected to withdraw from the barracks section, satisfied with his inspection of the Taurus' operations; they reminded him of ships he had served on previously, though on a much greater scale than anything he had ever experienced. The same hard-lined work ethic suffused this ship as any other he had served aboard. With confidence instilled in its service, Daruk retired to his assigned quarters and arranged them to prepare for his stay aboard the carrier --- much in a similar fashion to how he had arranged his quarters before on other ships. There was a familiarity to it all that warmed the heart. Whatever the Federation may become, at the heart lay a warship of Wessari make.

    "Alright then Thank you admiral." Baron said before deciding to head off to see if he could find the armory or possibly the quarter master as he did this he began a simple process of making a mental map in his head, Mentally forming then Digitally forming as Joris subtly manipulated it into a more perfected version forming it competently with all details it had as they walked thinking and calculating.
  9. Wata Wata Arkhona Vanguard

    Cero was unaffected by the man's tail eating. He was in contact with so many different cultures in one place, so from revoltingly barbaric to arrogant snob behaviour shouldn't be such a surprising find. Thunderhunter had been consumed by wanderlust at one point in his life as well, he had seen a lot weirder stuff than this.

    "How'd it taste?" he asked after giving a slight nod at the Starlen present, walking over to glance at the chitinous weapon. "Gross to bite into uncooked artificially created flesh. This a habit of your race?"
  10. Maleth Maleth Subordinate

    Listening to the cloaked figure speak about this war-beast and making a mental note of the salient points of the creature's capabilities given she'd likely have to fight alongside such a beast, However seeing the instructor take a bite out of the creature's tail was.... Well, she was feeling queasy over something she'd call a barbaric act, as made apparent by the disgust on her face.

    With an act of telepathy the Starlen said to the cloaked figure "Well, it seems that your kind evidently need... A little guide to what constitutes appropriate food." She then turned and left for the Starlen melee instructor she had seen around this training area, after returning Cero's nod and giving a slight gesture for him to follow her.
