For @hoovedrycal - x Crash Starring Acyi Elaine

"Oww," Elaine grits to herself as she finally pulls herself out of the wreckage, bracing herself up on the side of her shuttle and gritting her teeth, looking around.

Truly, one of the greatest faults she'd found in the fact that their universe was so wildly unstable was the sheer volume of ridiculous spacial anomalies they came across. Not to say they wouldn't have come across them anyways, but seriously, anything baring a designation related to "Orville" had to be a magnet for weirdness or something, because her shuttle jerking into an anomalous finding like it had its own slingshot gravity effect and being flung to a planet nowhere near her original course felt like she could write it off as typical at this point.

"Well, I'll have to make it up to Milo and Freddie tonight," she murmurs to herself, shaking her head a bit and reaching up to some of the sore spots to feel for any kind of injuries, sighing and moving to a panel that was now hanging open with some survival supplies dangling rather precariously out of it. She has to get her bearings and try and call for help.

Joy.

"You just make sure our people are okay."

That was the last thing Wil said to her. And he'd expected it to be his last words to anyone. Underneath the water of Heaven's Well, the half-elf felt his eyes closing, seeing that light and reaching out for it...

But then something was different. He fell over. How was he falling? He was underwater, he shouldn't- shouldn't be falling... oh God, his eyes were so heavy. He'd lost so much blood.

"Holy shit!" Starla yelped.

Sam jumped up, running over to the boy, putting pressure on the wound. "Starla-!"

"This is engineering to medical," Starla exclaimed into the comms panel, before Sam could even finish. "We need a team down here right now! We've got someone who came through the transporter- he's bleeding, a lot!"

Lily looks up, swearing up a storm as her fingers fly over the transporter computer. “We don’t have time-- ENGINEERING TO MEDICAL, THIS IS A SITE-TO-SITE, HE’S COMING NOW!”

“Clear the bed clear the bed clear the bed--” Hannah lunges over her desk as she scrambles to get things together as, in a swirl of golden lights, the new arrival appears over the main table, Sam still with him since Lily hadn’t bothered to differentiate.

Acyi’s immediately on her feet to take over for Sam as Hannah, Dakota, and Claire get over there.

Lyssa’s disappearance had been... bad. Especially for him and the rest like them. Most assumed she’d run off, no idea how she’d lost their GPS, no idea what had caused the interference on her cameras, and that had meant further scrutiny, re-training, and especially for him, a lot of interrogation.

Something told him, however, when he’d taken notice of the lights swirling around him, he was about to get more than a few answers.

“And, this is my life,” says a very Scottish redhead standing at what appear to be controls looking like she hates life. “Welcome, can ya--”

And Nick promptly draws his gun at seeing the obvious weapon on her hip. “Stay where you are.”

“Not again,” the woman murmurs as she holds up her hands.

Lyssa. Lyssa’s here. He knows it.

“Where is Gunnery Sergeant L-824, also known as Lysandra Doe?” He glances between her and the other person in the room.

James wrings his wrists, not asking for the time even though he wants to. It’s today. They’re coming today and finding out tonight and oh no this is terrifying. Isaac notices his agitation. “Lieutenant, you are showing signs of elevated distress. Please explain the problem, perhaps I can correct it.”

“He’s meeting Mackenzie’s parents and telling them that they’re engaged AND that Mackenzie’s pregnant tonight, Isaac,” Jared remarks from his station. “It’s got him on edge.”

“I see. In which case, lieutenant, I urge you to ignore all thoughts about this irrelevant topic until such a time that it is relevant,” Isaac corrects himself at Jared’s comment.

Jared sighs and shakes his head, rolling his eyes a bit.

Grayson sighs softly. He likes the quiet of the ship at “night”, or well, the simulated night it ran for the day/night cycle. It was peaceful and usually gave him a chance to just... breathe. He liked the opportunity to just be out and about and be quiet and not have to deal with anything.

He was still learning to deal with a lot of things. So he’d always take the chances he’d get to not have anything new to deal with, so he could just mull over the stuff he was still understanding.

Stopping at a window, he looks out at the stars for a minute. He jumps at a reflection behind him in the glass and relaxes, or at least, as best as he can. “Uncle Kai, you startled me.” He turns to face the other.

For @unscrxpted​ Starring Hannah McCoy, S’Chn T’Gai James, frankly any Orville stationed muses, and guest starring specifically Ed Mercer but again, any Orville muses are on the table You ever just give up on your muses entirely because of the threads they’re demanding? Yeah. Sinful content warning, reader be advised that NSFW content is expected ahead.

Of course, good news travels fast and on a ship like this, good news means only one thing:

James kisses Mackenzie’s forehead. “Hey, if at any point you’re not feeling up to this, we’re fully capable of skipping our own engagement and baby party. Okay? We’ve gotta take care of you, so if you wanna duck out at any point, I’ll bring you back here myself.”

[starbcrn-kids]

For @unscrxpted​ Starring Emma Mitchell, S’Chn T’Gai James, S’Chn T’Gai Grayson, Hannah McCoy, Jared McCoy, etc. and guest starring Isaac, Ed Mercer, Kelly Grayson, etc. Likely sinful content warning because I don’t trust my muses at all, but hopefully it’s nothing like some other threads I could mention...

Emma hums softly, waiting by the transporter. The landing party said they were sending back some samples for her. She sighs, trying not to rush things but she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t excited.

She loves getting new plants. The landing party had scanned the samples and didn’t find any noticeable threats, so they were coming straight to her instead of her having to go to them, which was always a good sign.

Frowning, she lights up as the lights appear, smiling at Hannah as she steps off the pad and motions to the various additions that had come up with her. “This is all you, honey, need help carrying it to your part of the lab?”

“Ooh, maybe,” Emma admits, picking up an orange flower curiously. “This is larger than I expected when I heard I was getting samples.”

“Well, it seems completely harmless,” Hannah explains as she starts gently gathering the other, smaller samples. “I honestly think no one would have noticed it, it was just... there, no smell, no nothing. We scanned it, didn’t show any odd properties to any of us.”

“Yeah, I noticed there was no smell,” Emma remarks. “That’s very interesting. I’m gonna to bring this one straight to the lab, forget the arboretum.”

“Sounds good to me,” Hannah smiles. “Lead the way.”

“No, no, I can’t believe I have to say this, but I don’t like the idea of you going over there,” James is telling Grayson and Brynn.

“Dad... if anyone’s gonna know what to look for, whatever it is we’re looking for, it’s gonna be us,” Grayson frowns. “Everyone else who went is going, too.”

“Yeah, I know, which means they don’t need you guys, too,” James answers, crossing his arms. “Can someone back me up here?”

“No, I think this is the right call,” Hannah says, sighing. “Sorry, James.”

“Really?!”

“Look, I don’t like it either, but... I think it’d be some... healthy closure, honestly.”

@unscrxpted​ - Secret Suffering Starring S’Chn T’Gai Grayson

Grayson gasps softly and grits his teeth, freezing up a minute. It hurts so much worse than his usual chronic pains ever did.

He told mama it wasn’t any worse than usual, that he was used to that kind of pain, so he could focus on her, so everyone could focus on her.

But sitting here, looking at the stars in the dead of night, Grayson wraps his arms around himself and tries in vain to ignore how much it hurts.

He thinks he can almost hear himself screaming. Hear himself crying out for mama, begging for her to find him... feeling himself breaking...

Grayson doesn’t know when he started crying, but he notices someone standing behind him, yelping and turning... relaxing, wiping his tears away. “Hale. You startled me.”

It’s so much nicer to walk around invisible to them. So much easier to take a quick flash and see whose doubts have the most weight. Who has the most to doubt themselves for.

And here he is. X-285 stops at the tallest of the bunch, a part-Vulcan man who thinks he’s X-285′s father. So he reaches up and presses a hand to the side of his head, leaning his own head back and reveling in the feeling for a moment.

“Nevermind, found him,” he hears Dahlia say, and he smirks, returning to the visible spectrum and tilting the part-Vulcan’s head down towards him, enjoying watching, feeling him crumple.

“You’re like a little generator, aren’t you?”

Grayson wakes up with a gasp, sitting bolt upright, feeling himself tear up, shaking badly, wrapping his arms around himself and trying so hard not to make too much noise.

“And You Can’t Stop Love” - Starring S’Chn T’Gai James & S’Chn T’El Rebecca Word count: 775 Content warning: Death mention

James smiles as he sits down in front of long-range communications, and chuckles when his sister’s face hits the screen. “Hey, Becca.”

“Hey,” she smiles. He notes her HOT PINK hair and starts to say something but she holds up a hand. “Commander Pallin and I are getting the captain really good with this one. Don’t ask too much or you’re getting roped in.”

James holds up his hands and laughs. “So, I take it the prank war’s as strong as ever?”

“Of course it is,” Rebecca answers with a smile. “How about there? How is everything? Since...”

She doesn’t need to say it. He clears his throat. “Settling down. Aida’s been sleeping in Grayson’s room-- she thinks I don’t know that she’s been sneaking in to watch over him. They both think I don’t know they’re staying up late the nights when he has nightmares. But I’m letting her help him. Since his...”

Can’t say relapse. Can’t tell her about that, needs to let him talk about it on his own time. “...since his kidnapping, he’s been struggling to stay connected with us all of the time. If Aida can help that, by all means, y’know?”

He lights up. “Oh, Kenz says hi. And I have something to tell you about that, uh...”

Rebecca sits up at the green flush on his face. “Oh, this should be good. Spill, what’s up?”

“Uh... Kenz and I are engaged. And... and she’s pregnant. Um. I’m gonna meet her parents soon.”

“Ooh, say hi to Khristyana for me,” Rebecca smiles. “Congrats, James!! Now, you’d better know that if you just get married on your ship without any of us--”

“You’ll kill me, I know, I know. I told Kenz that we’d need to have a big ceremony. We’re discussing it, but don’t worry, the intention is definitely to have family there, Becca. Anyways, that’s my end. How are things there?”

And his sister’s off on a tangent, excitedly telling him about Darla’s latest project for school, about Billy’s grades, how Mary clearly had a small “squish” for one of the head nurse’s boys, about how precious Spencer and Brandon had been working together on Brandon’s science homework, about Loriss helping Annie through a panic attack... and she sighs softly, looking at him.

“Hey. There’s something else you need to know. And... I know it’s not gonna be easy for you to hear, but I’ve been putting it off and she’s been wanting to see you so I can’t keep pushing it aside. I know it’s gonna be hard, but please understand she’s your niece and she didn’t mean anything by this, she doesn’t want to hurt you, she loves you so dearly, okay?”

James frowns, sitting up. “I’m a little nervous. Go ahead.”

“...the kids were playing hide and seek a while back, and, uh... Billy caught Emala and Axel kissing in a closet. They’ve been... I guess together-ish, Emala says they’re not defining it because Axel struggles with that stuff, since then.”

James freezes. “Axel? As in...”

“...yeah,” Rebecca bites her lip, sitting up. “James, she’s so happy with him. And so comfortable with him. But you mean the world to her, and I don’t want you to--”

“I won’t, I won’t,” James waves her off, feeling the world crashing around him a bit. “I won’t. Okay? It’s... I want her to be happy. That’s what matters to me. She’s my niece, I love her to death.” He winces at his wording.

“James--”

“Look, I-- I gotta go,” he lies, “I just remembered I was supposed to fix dinner for tonight. I’ll call next week. It’s okay, though, really. I promise. I’m happy for her. Love you, Becca.” He clicks off, leaning back in his chair, closing his eyes.

He’s there a minute when someone clears their throat. Opening his eyes, James sighs sheepishly. “Sorry, Dann. Hard news.” He gets up to open up the spot for the other, who’s started to respond with a whole awkward tangent but he doesn’t hear it, just sort of waves him off and heads back to his quarters.

Which, the family’s quarters are in fact empty, because Mackenzie had taken the kids to dinner to give him his night to talk to his sister without worrying about dinner. Sighing, he barely acknowledges Momo as he heads to his room, stopping by the photos on his dresser... picking up Hailey’s, leaning back against the dresser, sighing softly, clutching the photo close to his chest.

And, he knows, Hailey would forgive the boy. He was abused, he was traumatized. She would never fault him.

He could learn to do the same.

"Oh, don't forget that I'm gonna be having to take my medical leave soon," Mackenzie said, glancing at James over her shoulder while she tied her hair up. "It's been about three months. I'm sure you're very ready to spend a week making me beg." She smirked lightly, turning back to the mirror and humming.

When she finished, she turned to him and smiled, sighing softly. "I love you. And I bet that's the fifth time you've heard that from me this morning, but I will continue to remind you as often as I can until you eventually get sick of me."

James looks up from the PADD he’s currently reading over, blinking and chuckling a bit. “Good to know. Now, I should probably stick to spontaneously taking leave for your sick leave so I can say it’s a surprise, Isaac won’t notice that pattern for... at least another one of these, it’ll be fine.”

He smiles and gets up, walking over and gently, carefully leaning over her and kissing her cheek. “I love you, too. I’m not getting sick of you anytime soon, ashaya.”

unscrxpted​:

Just like most of the ship, Mackenzie was asleep. Just like Brynn, and Nari, and Mara, and Freddie, and Scott.

But Lyssa wasn't.

Maybe somehow, she knew. Maybe somehow, she'd been aware that something was going to happen.

Whatever it was... there was nothing that could've prepared her for the sudden pull she felt, the familiar flash of blue light... and the jail cells they all appeared in. Grayson, Kyla, Dahlia, Brynn, Mackenzie, that Alfonso kid-

All of them.

While most of them had been sleeping. Lyssa looked over at Grayson. He was awake. Had he been walking, too? She started over-

"GAHH-!" Lyssa jolted back, looking around again, finally noticing the cell barriers. Like the barrier in the brig. "Where the hell are we?! WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOTS!"

Not again. Not again. Grayson backs up against the back wall. Shit. Shit. He groans, pulling his jacket around himself tighter. “Fucking shit.”

Dahlia’s aware of the yelling first, then the fact her surroundings had changed, jolting awake, looking around, growling. “I thought we were done with this! All right, who’s the bastard of the week?!”

Kyla rubs her eyes as she gets up, blinking, looking around, confused. “Wh...?” She jolts awake as she realizes what’s going on, eyes darting around, looking immediately for Mara and Freddie first. “Guys?!”

James’ eyes immediately flutter open when he feels Mackenzie vanish. At first, his mind registers that she must have gotten up and he looks around, rubbing his eyes a bit. “Kenzwhr?”

No answer, no sound, he blinks, waking up more. “Kenz?”

He looks around. Shit. “Computer. Locate Lieutenant Mackenzie.”

“Lieutenant Mackenzie is not aboard,” is the chirped reply. And he’s up and scrambling to get dressed as he gets the comm panel to security.

“AAA-- James to security--!” and there’s a thud when he hits the ground as he tries to get dressed, some sort of garbled noise escaping him as he struggles to get back up. “--Mackenzie just vanished from our quarters.”

His head whips around when he hears Avery scream in the girls’ room, running in, his blood running cold when Avery points wordlessly to Brynn’s empty bed. No, no, no, not again-- he rushes to Grayson’s room and feels his heart sink as he steps back out into the main room where his comm line is still open.

“Correction, security. Mackenzie, Brynn, and Grayson are all gone.”
