Mission: Mission 78 - Colonial Uprising
(OOC: Essex crew, we are officially on the starbase. You can post moving in, checking out your posts, etc.)
ON:
Deela, Vincent, Brandon and Raivyn left the Essex to find their new quarters on SB400. Their quarters were nice, bigger than on the Essex. Everything was there including Paul. He had heard that the Essex had docked. He found out where they were going to be living and met them there.
Paul glanced around the place, "Where's Earl?"
"Oh. He's still on the ship. I didn't want to walk him through the base. I'm not sure if people are ready for a 498 pound tiger. I'll beam him here as to not scare everyone."
"Too bad. I was hoping to play with him. When are you going to do that, I mean, beam him to here?"
"Probably tonight. You are more than welcome to come back later. In fact, your mother is on an assignment, correct?"
"Yeah. Why?" He asked.
"If you want, you can stay over and sleep on the couch." Deela told him.
He smiled brightly, "Really? Cool beans."
"Cool beans?" Vincent chuckled, "Is that what kids are saying these days?"
"No, I just read a lot of history. They also used to say things like "far out," "rad," "sick" and other funny sayings.
"Sick? Hmm, Is sick bad?" Vincent asked.
"No sick is good. When something is awesome, it's sick."
"Weird. Thanks for the slang lesson kid." Vincent rubbed the top of his head, messing up his hair. He started to walk off to help Brandon put his clothes away.
"No problemo."
Vincent looked back at Paul, "Oh. Are you learning Spanish?"
"No, it's from a movie."
"What?"
"It was in an old movie back on Earth."
Vincent paused for a moment, "Oh. Okay."
Deela watched as they talked. He reminded her of her deceased husband who also was a big old time movie buff. Vincent left.
"So, you'll come over later?"
"Yeah. Tell Brandon I'll see him later.
