Welcome to the Program
Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.
[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.
Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

Ow.

[That sure is a.... bird? Honestly Xander's never seen a penguin before so he has no clue. But it's small and can talk and he's just gonna stare at it]
Are you... alright?
[He just sounds flabbergasted give him a moment]
no subject
[An easy smalltalk topic! Obviously this human must also be a space refugee with a blown up planet. Why else would he be on this spaceship?]
no subject
[Usually he is much more put together then this. He was a strong, stern military leader and does not get thrown off his game by small talking birds
But it's been a long day. It's only been 5 minutes but already it is way way too long- he's gone insane from stress and he's actually in one of the Fortress bed rooms ranting at the gods before he dies. Clearly that must be what's happening.
...so might as well go with it. It's a small cute bird creature so no need to be tense around it!]
No. My home is still in one piece.
no subject
Seriously. Why do humans gotta be so tall?]
It's ok, big guy. Just accept reality and life gets a lot easier.
no subject
[He is getting comforted by a penguin what is happening]
no subject
[Toby's pretty sure this guy is tall, even for a human, and also probably good with fighting. He looks like he's good with fighting.]
I could build you a cool gun.
no subject
I'm sorry, but what is a 'gun'?
no subject
[He mimes holding a machine gun, because of course.]
Long range weapon so you can go [please imagine a penguin making machine gun noises and improve your day] and kill all the Varelsi before they even get CLOSE to you. But if you're into swords, I can do those too. Or I can put a gun ON your sword!
[Xander, do not fucking let this penguin make you a gunblade. He will do it and he'll give it a grenade launcher too, for good measure.]
no subject
You mean a ballista? That is certainly too heavy to put on a sword!
no subject
[NAILED IT.]
no subject
[Like a gunpowder loaded bow. He gets the idea]
Seems extremely dangerous.

[TOBY, THIS POOR MAN DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A GUN IS DON'T TRY TO EXPLAIN ELECTROMAGNETIC ONES.]
Then the worst that can happen on the user end is the electronics stop working and you can't shoot anymore! Ok, maybe it sparks a little. It's perfectly safe, though!
no subject
If you can find a means to make a 'gun' here then I will certainly use it. Does that seem agreeable?
no subject
If I can figure out how to get around that rule about modifying machinery, I'm TOTALLY making you a gun.
[A normal person: DON'T GIVE PEOPLE WEAPONS IF THEY MIGHT MURDER YOU. Toby: I'M GONNA BUILD EVERYONE A GUN!!!]

[This is a blatant lie.]

DON'T YOU BELIEVE HE'S A GOOD BOY WHO WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WRONG.]
no subject
Ok, ok. Maybe I bend them sometimes. Only SLIGHTLY.
no subject
Well, a little boldness isn't always a bad thing.
