In the Blue <TAG anyone>

Who: Guinevere and a couple sleazy gits.
Where: A transport ship heading towards Blue Dwarf
When: Does time really exist after all the girl just exited stasis
A beeping sound came as the doors opened of a small stasis booth,
stepping out uncertainly was a young woman, Engineer Guinevere
Winters.
"We'll be there in an hour." Said a man with a tray of several
medical looking devices approaching her.
"But I only just went in!" Guinevere explained, she like many before
her after their first time in stasis didn't realise that they had
just experienced stasis as no time had passed for her. Once told
that Guinevere would be travelling most of the trip in stasis
imagined emerging from a deep sleep feeling utterly refreshed,
instead she felt confused.
The man rolled his eyes he was use to this comment but had hoped
that this specimen of woman standing in front of him would have been
different, hence why he had betted that she wouldn't say it.
"Is she out yet?" Came a greedy male voice from the cockpit, which
Guinevere knew to be the captain of this two man vessel. "Who won?"
"I did." The co-pilot lied not wanting to lose any of his money.
"I heard her. Now cough up."
"When we get back." The co-pilot called back, mumbling something
rude and inaudible under his breath. Guinevere watched with a grin,
she enjoyed men who liked to bet, she usually found a way to win
money from them.
"Now." The man started as he turned back to Guinevere, "A quick
check up is required … please remove your uniform and jog on the
spot for a minute." The co-pilot said, his voice commanded but his
eyes showed the real reason behind the request as did the rising
bulge in his nether regions.
The request caused Guinevere to be tempted to do two things, one was
to punch the man in the gut, upper cut his face and then plant a
knee in the family jewels, her steel capped boots would be too
harsh. The other was to obey, to a degree as she was wearing a JMC
issued standard black uniform which she found to be most
uncomfortable.
"I had my physical this morning before boarding and my next one
isn't due till I arrive on my stationed vessel. So put
your `instruments' away and point me in the direction of the nearest
beer or bourbon. Guinevere took off her official JMC regulation cap
and ran her hand over her strawberry-blonde hair, which was already
neatly pulled back into a pony tail.
The co-pilot looked thoroughly depressed at once again not getting
to see anything, it seemed only blonde women and strange men obeyed
his request to see them naked and run on the spot before inserting
his several medical looking instruments anywhere they would go. He
pointed at a cabinet in the wall which when Guinevere opened it was
a huge fridge that took up most of the wall filled with beer and
soft drinks, one of them being coke a cola, the 20th century kind.
After helping herself to a beer and getting a bottle each for the
two men as well, she threw the co-pilot his beer before walking in
front of him into the cockpit, she sat herself into the co-pilot's
chair, throwing the captain his beer and opening her own, putting
her feet up on the controls in front of her. The captain opened his
beer with a smile, she seemed his type of girl. The co-pilot still
feeling dejected slumped himself into an empty console seat that
wasn't usually occupied.
"You know you shouldn't be keeping that coke in the fridge, it does
a far better job when warm." Guinevere said taking a swig.
"It aren't there for cleaning, Arthur drinks it." The captain said
nodding his head in the co-pilot's direction.
"Oh." Guinevere raised her eyebrows, thinking that `Arthur' was
proving himself to be more and more stupid.
---------------------<Less then an hour later>---------------------
Who: Guinevere, Holly and other people around who she doesn`t know.
Where: Blue Dwarf, she only just got on board and you expect her to
tell you where she is!!! (A loading dock, then an average deck)
When: The transport vessel had just docked, kicked her out and left.
Guinevere picked herself up as she had been literally kicked into
the loading dock off the transport vessel, her bags had been thrown
after her, she dusted herself off and replaced her official JMC
regulation cap onto her head and smiled slyly. She checked that all
of their money that she had won was still in her pocket, it was.
Feeling most satisfied that she had won all of their money through
bets on arm wrestling but she had also broken Arthur's arm during
one of them, the sleaze had deserved it.
A monitor switched on in front of her and a bald disembodied head
appeared.
"Welcome aboard Blue Dwarf, I am Holly the ships A.I. I know
everything so you can ask me anything."
"Who do I report to?" Guinevere asked not asking the first question
that had come to mind, deciding to suss out the A.I.'s inserted
personality first.
"I don't know? Who are you?"
"Arh … Guinevere Winters … Engineer." She said eyeing the head on
the monitor suspiciously.
"Engineer, Arh can not be found on the ships database."
Pausing, "Intruder! Intruder!"
"Grrr." Guinevere wondered if this was a joke some of the other crew
members played on new comers, if so it was funny if not it meant
that this A.I. Was stupid. "I'm Guinevere Winters, stationed to Blue
Dwarf as Engineer, Mechanic and Technician." Guinevere said quickly
and forcefully wondering if her words would stop the sirens that
were now going off in the lonely loading dock.
"Oh, there is a Winters, Guinevere in the database, due to arrive
today. But how do I know you're her?" Holly said with a raised
eyebrow.
"Check the photo on the file, in the mean time tell me where new
personal are meant to go on arrival and don't you dare say
quarantine."
"The scutters will take your luggage and go with you to the service
elevator that they just left from and you will be taken to the
debriefing deck." Holly said as sure enough doors opened revealing a
couple of scutters who took her bags for her, she followed them as
told back to the service elevator. Wondering why she wasn't in a
normal one that she had seen in the loading dock but guessed that
was for officers only.
Guinevere stepped out of the elevator when it stopped, it looked
like she was on an average deck with average corridors connecting to
it, though a monitor was on one of the walls, it was much larger
then the last and there were several vending machines around. The
scutters sped off with her things, clearly doing something they
weren't meant to do as when Guinevere yelled for them to stop, one
gave her the two finger salute as they left. Guinevere was unsure of
what to do next, she had never been on such a huge vessel before or
under JMC command. As Holly hadn't reappeared yet and no one was
approaching her on a whim she yelled.
"Can someone point me to the nearest bar ?!?!" She wondered if
anyone would answer, not caring what any of them thought about her
outburst. She could always sign in later and besides she wasn't
technically on duty yet.
Jenni aka Guinevere <It's good to be back. And for those who don`t
know me, no I`m not always this crude in my posting, honest.>
