<strong>Karen</strong><br/><strong>Room</strong>: Helm, Captain's chair<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Open<br/><strong>What</strong>: Still checking up and assigning instructions.<br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://oi47.tinypic.com/2yu12cm.jpg)</div>As the captain sat in her chair listening to Zachary on the other end of the com and the heard the life-support alarm go off she rolled her eyes and placed a hand on her face in frustration.  Regardless, as the alarm went off she couldn't help but offer a grin to herself - it was just like the 'genius' engineer to accidentally set of all the alarms in the ship before finding what he needed.  As he further went on to explain that it'd be at least two hours before they could get off, Karen let out a sigh.<strong>"Fine fine...I won't send anyone down there so long as you get it up in the next couple of hours here.  Well at least we have an idea now of how long we'll be behind..thanks Zach.  Just let us know if we need to do anything from up here."</strong>With that the captain turned off her side of the communications in order to leave the engineer to his work.<br/><br/>Once finished with talking to the engineer over the communicator, Karen turned her attention once more over to Carson as the pilot seemed to react to her order and was busy scanning for nearby stations.  She thought she overheard something about trouble and a desert, but then again she could just be mistaken.  In any case, the captain was just hoping that Carson didn't take them to another water world - Karen was actually quite nervous around water of that vastness and wasn't exactly one to go to the beach in a bathing suit either.  Even though the crew seemed to enjoy traveling to Neptune XI, she had put that place on the permanent no go.  As Carson spoke back to Karen she nodded before replying,<strong> "Ah good, well Zach is predicting we'll need a couple hours yet..so feel free to relax or sleep or whatever until we're done...just don't go too far in case we're ready ahead of time."</strong><br/><br/>Satisfied that Carson was ready whenever the propulsion systems came back, Karen turned her attention now back to the weapons specialist.  Supposedly he was busy preparing the weapons in the armory.  However, as Karen turned on her own com to listen to the man respond to Zoe, she simply rolled her eyes in annoyance at the response they got.  This was certainly not the first time the man had talked to them in such a rude manner and no doubt it wouldn't be the last.  She had given up a long time ago on trying to fix the weapons specialist but at the very least she felt like she had to correct him occasionally.  As she heard him call herself a dominatrix and remark about her attire, Karen glanced down at herself...a pair of jeans, boots, and a tank-top really shouldn't be coming across as ... well whatever he was thinking.<strong>"Great, well just get everything set up inside the shuttle for when we are ready to attack.  You've got about two hours."</strong>She would have left it at that, but she sighed before continuing,<strong>"And Raze Dear..."</strong>She made sure to say 'dear' as sarcastically as possible,<strong>"...watch your tongue before you find yourself locked in the brig.  Report back if you need any help..I think Dee here had some possible weapon upgrades to show you if you had time too."</strong>Karen glanced around to look at Zoe and Sybella.  Hopefully the blue haired girl was out of range to hear what was said and despite the fact that Zoe had a personality, hopefully she'd not take offense at the human's words.<br/><br/>Karen of course had heard Dee's offer to 'off' Raze, but the short haired girl shook her head before responding.  Of course she did have a thin smile on her lips at the idea of the green alien getting rid of Raze, but it wasn't actually a thought to entertain.<strong>"No no...though thanks for the offer Dee.  Raze is still relatively new on board so I'll cut him some slack for now, and besides, he means well enough."</strong>Well that plus he was the only one on board who was proficient with all the different weapons technology on board aside from Dee's special items.<strong>"..Go on and try to help Zach, he sounded like he was having a hard time at it."</strong>
