Hlaoroo wrote:"Yes, sir. Will these three seats in the balcony suffice?" Kelly queries, highlighting the seats with a holographic display as she leads the group down a corridor away from the usual public areas, past the props and scenery and out onto the stage and under the bright lights where another ferret droid with a shock of bright red fur atop his head making a contrast to the brown of the rest of his body is hovering behind a speaker suspended in a corner and tightening a screw on a wire. He appears to send some unspoken signal to the lighting and sound booth high above the seats and some music and test tones sound clearly from the speaker. Retracting the screwdriver into his paw, the droid gives the window of the booth a thumbs up and then floats back to the stage and walks across to the party.
"Hi." he says, straightening his headset.
"Everyone, this is my colleague, Todd. Todd this is Nessie and her friends and owners. Nessie is our performer and everyone else is here to provide an audience for the audition. Nessie, if you would be so kind as to tell Todd your requirements for sound, music, lighting any any other effects you may want and he shall ensure you have all you need. The rest of you, would you be so kind as to follow me into the audience from where we can view the audition?"
"Cool. So what do you need? Also, do you mind if we record the audition to show to our boss as he's the one who'll be in charge of hiring you?"
"I'll have no problems at all," Nessie answered. Then then sleek black feline looked around. "You do have an impressive setting here. And, well, all I need is complete darkness on the stage. No lights. And Michael Manring's
'Welcoming', thank you. I'll go get myself ready. Mother, my pill."
The woman opened her purse and produced a blue pill.
"I want to hear their jaws drop." She said, caressing her cheek.

He grinned and started mixing a drink. "You aren't ever a disappointment chere, just a surprise if you know what I mean. An old soul like me, we got our times." He flicked his tail, mixing in whatever came to mind. He used a bottle of real sugar cola he had hidden somewhere as the base.
"Thanks. I hope you'll like this." And with that, after swallowing her pill, she walked to the back of the stage...

"Excellent choice. They will do. Volken, over."
The man closed the channel.
"Hope I didn't sound too rude, but now we have a friend to meet." And in front of them, a crystal door opened, the first of 10 that at regular intervals would make a corridor to the heart of the ship.
"Please close your eyes." A moment later, a blue flash filled the first room.
"FETUS works in the most sterile environment possible. We'll have to pass a series of steps before being allowed in the Core Room."

"Well, the list consists of seedless and stemless fruits and vegetables that are cooked, strained or pureed in a blender, as well as juices without pulp. But so far Dad didn't want to run risks with veggies, let's hope the cuisine here is up to its reputation. Oh, and skinless sweet or white potatoes, ripe bananas, applesauce and small quantities of cantaloupe and honeydew melon are allowed as well." The snow leopard patted his sick-pack. "As for my new tummy, it will be all artificial. It's the only way to avoid any kind of complication, given the extension of the work. Not to mention that Dad and I refuse cathegorically to hunt for organs. When a medic proposed to kill another leopard to give me his organs..." Flash carved a tiny skull with Xs in the place of its eyes in the bread. "Well, let's say that the hospital needed a new medic for a while."

The landing was a bit rough however. I do hope nothing else wrong occured. I do understand im supposed to see someone about my position as the ships doctor. Who do i go for that?" the owner asked
Niner couldnt help but growl at the girl. Not only did he not trust her word he also had a sense to protect his owner. Whirring is heard as his robotic parts clacked into place as he moved to his owners side only to be calmed some at his touch. His eyes locked on maid with a softer growl seeing it would be ok.....for now
Maud looked with fascination at Niner.
"Amazing. A perfect blend of flesh and metal, the first of its kind. I hope you two can meet our R&D dept., they will fawn all over you...But, sorry, this is not my field. Do you need any special security request? Niner's value is pretty high to us."

Deske wrote:Miguel spread his arms wide in a rather wordless display of annoyance and turned on heel back out to the rest of the ship. He stopped back at the dining hall and looked at the array of food set out, slightly jealous that he didn't have the faculties to eat or even taste for that matter. He continued his way on, exploring the rest of the ship, more intent on meeting up with the only other being he had to talked with, Kelly.
Suddenly, a section of the ship was shown in the anidroid's visual field! And on it, a blinking dot, while Jemmy's voice said,
"You will find here the unit you are looking for. You're welcome."
