After giving her own ‘about me’ speech, Jade listened as the other Midshipman offered up his own. However, she wasn’t expecting to hear the kind of details that Turner had opted to share. Even being ‘simulated’ meat of other species, Jade would be willing to bet the only reason it wasn’t considered illegal was due to the fact it had occurred on the Caitian homeworld.
Sometimes one shouldn’t offer up the whole truth. Granted they claim the only reason they partook was due to alcohol, and that begs the question of how much alcohol he’d drank and how little before it affects his rational thinking. Simulated or not, intentionally eating another individual, outside of worst-case survival scenarios, is barbaric in just about any way imaginable.
According to Braggins, the two of them had gotten their eyes opened to the realistic harshness of the universe. Perhaps that was true, but there were days Jade wished she could erase those experiences from ever occurring. That wasn’t the way it should’ve gone for any 20 year-old, especially while in an academic environment. At the end of day, it happened and all Jade could do was make the most of the hand she’d been dealt. Then the floor had been opened to questions from the two newcomers.
“There’s one thing that’s been nagging at me since I’ve arrived at Antares. The Yeager is a bit…”
Jade started doing some mental calculations inside her head. While she didn’t personally believe the external design of the ship to be that great, it wasn’t worth the risk of pissing off her new captain on the first day. She’d just had a bout of honesty, but she knew some level of tact would be needed, as captain’s probably tended to be a smidgen protective when it came to their commands.
“…unusual. I was curious if there was any particular reason for the design to be radically different than most other Starfleet ships.”
Here’s hoping I don’t have to worry about unsticking foot from mouth.
