Subject: Grail: "The Great Brightness" - `A Little Late... (cont)'
Athalya Anne, not particulary desireing to sit, not in next to the captain and
not in a room with two androids, stood. "Please." She stood and gestured to
the vacant seat, "By all means." Leaning against the wall, she tried not to
put her hand to her phazer. Still, a sence of relief did flood her. Now she
could easily see everyone else.
Frobo nodded to the kind young woman, and whispered a "thank you" as he
passed her by for the seat. He didn't notice her when she started
reaching for her phaser, nor did he realize that people were still staring
at him. Things like that didn't usually don't worry a Penuit.
Squeezing into his seat, he tried to remember everything he was supposed
to ask the new person on board the ship. Luckily, in case he forgot,
Vincent had given him the PADD with all the questions he was supposed to
ask.
Frobo activated the PADD and looked over the notes while everything set
itself up to begin. He was a bit puzzled by some of the questions, many
of which had nothing to do with food. Frobo guessed that Vincent must
have been a bit delirious when writing this list out, especially the stuff
about electronics and holograms, but who was Frobo to question? Maybe the
boss wanted to make something to entertain the lunch crowd. The Twelve
Spheres knew that this ship needed some form of entertainment.
Shuffling his feet around in a playful fashion, Frobo accidently bumped
into the Captain's foot. Turning around, Frobo nodded to the Captain and
whispered a simple "Sorry", not realizing that it was the Captain of the
Ship's foot he had kicked.
