<i>"Good morning Dr Le'vira, mr Trekaar"</i><br/><br/>Maia slithered away from the food processor to greet everyone in turn while moving to a seat of her own. As a malform, Tessy was immune to Maia toxins. And since she didn't eat eat garbage like the other malform aboard the ship Maia had been trying to get a little more than familiar with the living goo. Sadly, this morning her efforts in that regard were foisted by the presence of Juleaan. Maia's gentle smile grew a little more forced when she looked at the man. Almost all the men aboard the vessel were testerone-fueled ruffians that made it hard for Maia to interact with them, her personality clashing with theirs.<br/><i><br/>
"Good Morning, Mr Eldritch, Dr Speaker, Dr Luna. Oh, and good morning Dr Naviro."</i><br/><br/>Next in her morning greeting ritual were those seated at or near the pixie table, as well as Trix who had just barged in shouting. Maia liked Speaker. He was much like the males of her home but also very intelligent and eloquent. He had an enchanting personality that enticed feelings with Maia that she hadn't even been aware she had. Even while lacking in physical contact, their shared times had been very relaxing and pleasant for Maia who usually had to keep her mind on her tetrodotoxin for safety reasons. Unfortunately, he was near the pixie table and as much as Maia liked the dryadi and found Eldritch amusing, it was a mistake to be near small wriggling things while still half asleep and hungry. Maia loved the feeling of something struggling as it slid down her throat whole. Maia would never openly admit such predatory instincts might control her, but in a lowered state of awareness it was best not to tempt oneself.<br/><br/>Next were the people Maia had a little more trouble facing.<i>"Good morning, Dr Ombra."</i>Maia said in a pleasant tone of voice while fixing her gaze just to the right of Kula's face. While certainly good for reclycling, Kula's garbage-eating habits turned Maia's stomach. It simply wasn't beautiful.<i>"Good morning, Mr Berrac."</i>Once more Maia's smile was forced. While the рфп wasn't as discourteous as some of the other males (Maia actually enjoyed it when his gaze lingered on more sexual areas) he had a similar feel to him as that of Juleaan that made Maia a little more wary around the bovine man.<br/><br/>Turning to face the last male aboard the ship, Maia's smile faltered dangerously. Even a rock could tell it as painfully forced.<i>"G-good m-morning, Mr Z-Zero."</i>The water naga enjoyed having people watch her, but the cyborg's glare was like a withering sun seeking cruelly to kill her just with it's gaze. That, and for some reason her nose started hurting again from when it was hit with a door this morning.<br/><i><br/>
"Hello Issy!"</i><br/><br/>Maia had kept the best for last and excitely greeted the other naga, seeking refuge in her presence. Maia let herself be a lot more familiar and casual with Issy. Humming happily, the water naga seated herself near her desert companion. In truth, the two were almost polar opposites with what environment was comfortable with them. Not only that, but issy was commoner born while Maia hailed from a family of Priestresses known throughout naga space territory. But as a fellow naga Maia still felt more kinship with her than the more alien crewmembers. A light, innocent giggle bubbled up from Maia while she smiled at Issy. The water naga pressed the coffee mug close to her chest before sipping from it, the soft material of her top clinging to her skin making her nipples poke through it. She wasn't as royally gifted in the chest department like Issy so Maia only rarely wore a bra.<br/><br/><i>"Are~, good morning miss Miranda!"</i><br/><br/>Maia warmly greeted the engineer as she sat down next to her, only slightly wrinking her nose at the smell of grease. While a necessity, there was nothing pretty or beautiful about maintenance work and the naga didn't envy Alicia's work.<i>"Your creation continues to be beautiful in this morning. It really is a piece of art."</i>Maia complimented both Evy and Alicia while smiling at the latter.<i>"It's actually adapting and learning, isn't it?"</i>She said while watching the AI play with her chest. Maia didn't know nearly enough about code and programming to fully appreciate Evy's ability to adjust her code, but she knew enough that there was real beauty in the AI's design.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
