<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/07/Ares_Walker.png) </div><strong>Name:</strong>Ares Walker (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Ares_Walker)<strong><br/>Location: </strong>Arriving by Turbolift<br/><strong>Time: </strong>Mid Morning<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Captain Lyra Core, Open<br/><br/>Ares considers a moment, and he raises a finger. He considers answering the allegations about medical examinations, but he is not actually on duty, and if he really has to be bothered he will do so on the ship's time. He flexes his right hand, and takes two steps, remaining within the Captain's sight line, and places a hand on the helm console. He ignores the look of the on duty helmsperson, and there is a brief moment of vacancy in his eyes, before he starts to speak again.<br/><br/>`Captain, currently within range of long range sensors we hold two comets, one of which is a rogue. We just passed clear of a nebula that showed signs of eccentric gravitational eddies, and there are two largely uncharted systems.`<br/><br/>He looks to her now, focus returning, and he lifts his hand from the console. As he speaks, he scratches at his palm absently.<br/><br/>`We are embarking on a mission into the unknown. While I understand your reservation, I cannot speak as to what experiments might be conducted in the space during the course of our travels. I intend, however, to set up a lab that can handle the unprecedented and maintain a heightened level of safety. I will consult with the engineering staff, and they can vet the specifications to verify that they are beyond standard protocols.` He placed little faith in standard procedures, they were... inflexible.  `As for the space, well, I like to be able to stretch. If need be I can give up my quarters and re-locate to the lab. I rarely sleep as it is, and I have few personal possessions aboard.`<br/><br/>He was living out of two duffel bags. An old habit from his time during the war.<br/><br/>`I'm here to make discoveries so new they seem to be magic, Captain. A magician needs the proper stage to work with.`<br/><br/>When he says the last he actually smiles. The man is capable of showing emotion, and even having a level of whimsy. Call it a creative curse, but it had served him well in the past.
