Sigrún replies to Doug's comment about not spacing the bomb by meeting his gaze and stating levelly "The Kapiten told the three of us to deal with the situation - not to bother him with requests to take obvious action". She then seems to relent with "The bomb is on a timer but you will know Kapiten Flighty's style better than I do".Eris wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:50 pm "Nobody's tossing it out until I get orders from Captain Flighty." Doug says then asks, "Swordy, right? I'm Doug and this is Bob, by the way. I'm Chief Engineer and Bob's my assistant. So, you got amnesia, eh? I've never heard of that happening from cold sleep before."
"Pleased, to meet you Sigrun, and Doug, she got whacked and tossed into low, is what I figure." Bob tells the Engineer looking to Sigrun for confirmation then adding, "You didn't see conditions over there. It's a miracle she survived at all!
Bob says over his shoulder as he pops off another access panel, "You know we have one more popsicle off that ship in cold storage. We need to drop him off at a good hospital somewhere before his best used by date. Don't suppose you know who the popsicle is, do you Miss Swordy Sigrun?"
She offers Doug direct eye contact and a crushing handshake "I am Sigrún and já, I am from the Sword Worlds - Isenfang" (she seems faintly surprised here). She adds "Bob is right in that I was lucky that you pulled me from my hibernation with my friend the giant snake. I have no idea who the other cold berth passenger is but then my memory is foggy - not from hibernation but because just before that four of Tostig's crew jumped me outside a bar. I didn't think it too many but while one choked his last my axe got stuck in another's hip. Is that pelvis? Zaki would know... she is a very good healer. Anyway bad luck for both him and me! After that someone cracked my head and that's how I ended up in cold sleep. I should have won that fight but I was very drunk - just not at my best. So, I'm pleased to meet you both. I hold no rank aboard so Sigrún will do if you need me - not "Swordy" not "Miss".
Her manner is not overtly aggressive but she is being "alpha" in response to what may be "social probes" from her future shipmates which are (culturally) answered by way of riposte. Anyone failing to notice her personal confidence, situational awareness and "military bearing" might be about to make a "positional food chain blunder". If the half revealed tribal tattoos, minor melee scars and braided hair were translated by her body language into "Imperial" she'd be what Stan Ridgway might describe as "an awfully big Mehrine"...
