"I know," Nova laughs softly, shaking her head as she watches Stiles across the way. "You have to admit, though, it's a little cute at least most of the time."

"Oh, look, just in time," Lily jokes of the security officer making rounds. "If 'just in time' for the new onboarding wasn't 40 minutes ago and I didn't already have my new officer, anyways."

She's not picking, not really. She's just... trying very, very hard to lighten the mood, to help push past the fact that her new officer had tracked to the ship so quickly because of her demonstrated skills, personal history, and the war. And those facts were giving her serious anxiety, because she definitely personally knew the other.

It wasn't that she thought the other wasn't qualified, far from it. She wasn't far off from her graduation at the academy anyways, so technically speaking it was fine. Just...

Well, she hated the reasons. Plain and simple. Because she hated this war-- why it was happening was like a stab to her heart, and what Lily hated more was it meant many of Rebecca's extended family was about to be called away just when she needed them most. But what else could she do?

Distract herself.

That was all she had.

"Kirk!" She turns her head back to call out. "Come meet the man who finally matches your sister when it comes to nonsense."

Nova snorts at that, stepping away from John when he gives the nod of approval and walking over. "So respectful of the name, Deputy Chief Scott."

"Ach, Ginger Kirk is still just stupid reckless Ginger at the end of the day," Lily's eyes light up, turning to Stiles and adding, "Stiles Malloy, Nova Kirk."

Nova doesn’t even look up from her work at first, barely glancing over the data from the computer and popping on comms. “Transporter to security, send Mackenzie and co, transporter out.” She clicks back off.

As she starts to look up, she begins, “All right, hi, welcome to the Orville, if I could have you just step off the transporterrrrr...”

But seeing the kid standing there Nova completely forgets and abandons the normal script. The poor little cutie looks scared out of her mind. Nova’s heart breaks as the girl sniffles. “Where am I? What’s going on?”

“Oh, sweetie, it’s okay,” Nova answers, going over and reaching out a hand to help the other down. “C’mere, I’ve got you, you’re okay.”

As Sienna Doe tears up, taking the strange woman’s hand and stepping off the thing she’d appeared on, before abruptly “collapsing” into the other’s arms and accepting the hug she’s being given, peaking her face out from the other’s arms a bit, her brain scrambles for a plan. She definitely hadn’t been counting on this happening to her. Not that it was necessarily a first at this point. She just didn’t know why her, why here, why this, why now...

A million “whys” and exactly no interest in dispelling her charm and finding out. Not yet. Not until she has a plan.

Grayson rolls out his neck as he goes to meet Mackenzie, who’d come to find him and some of the others outside Nari’s climate controlled cell. She’d been in for a while, though, so he just knocks on the outside and motions everyone inside on out. “Do we know anything?”

For @unscrxpted​ - Shipwrecked! Starring and guest starring all muses from the USS Orville

“All I know is, Ginger, Eddie, and I will feel a lot better when we’re out of this area of space," Nova is saying to Sam. “I mean, I know there’s nothing down there, and we’re not going there, and there’s no reason to go down there anyways, but it’s... unnerving, being so close to it.”

She looks up at a familiar sound from the transporter room and then an all too common alarm. “Oh, incoming. Call Lily for me, will ya?” She smiles at him sweetly as she heads to follow up on it.

“So how goes the wedding planning?” Nova leans against the console with a smile. “Because, uh, I know some people you’ve known a good long stint who’re dying to know the details.”

“And when I have invitations, you’ll get them,” James wrinkles his nose and shakes his head back at her. “Right now, our time is entirely absorbed by one S’Chn T’Gai Nicholas Monroe-Haley. Forgive me if wedding planning goes a little slow.”

The engineer scoffs lightly before kneeling down under the console to continue working. “Hmm, I think I see what you were talking about with the power relays.”

“Told you so,” James remarks, leaning against the wall. “Thanks for your help, Nova.”

“Thank you for pointing this out, honestly,” she answers with a smile. “Pretty crucial shit to know, y’know, with the Borg threat rising and the Kaylon at large. Guess that’s why we have a weapons specialist aboard.”

“Guess so,” he wrinkles his nose as she climbs back out. “Now what?”

“I’m gonna need more tools for this, my stuff’s in engineering if you want to join me.”

“Yeah, sure, I’m responsible for making sure this mess gets straightened out anyways. Might as well pretend I’m useful.”

Nova laughs at that and the two head back to engineering...

“...an’, lass, from sickbay we’ll figure this ou’ as we go. Yer takin’ it all mighty well,” Lily’s saying to a girl who’s standing just beyond the transporter.

“Well, it’s all right, honestly. Could be worse, could be a...”

The girl looks up at the doors opening, seeing him, registering his face in half a glance, scowling. “GRIMM!”

“Uh-oh,” James manages before he’s tackled to the ground.

Anonymous said: "And then there's you," Janice says, shaking her head and closing her eyes. "I'm afraid you're really just... there. I don't know if I honestly remember your name. What have you ever done in this family?"

Nova blinks, tearing up, trying to breathe, shaking her head. “This.” She ends the transmission before she bursts into tears.

@unscrxpted​: Sam sent “Tender Touches” to Nova! Meme: send “tender touches” and I’ll generate a number for my muse’s reaction to yours... #9: taking mine’s face in their hands. always accepting

“Hi,” Nova smiles sweetly at him, wrinkling her nose. “Is there something I can help you with?” She leans her head into his hands a bit and closes her eyes, relaxing.
