<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/8b/Tyrone.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Tyrone Pryk<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>March 11th, 9am GMT<br/><strong>Location:</strong>On a shuttle approaching the Odyssey<br/><strong>Content:</strong>First approach to the ship<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Petra Sabio, Any Eavesdroppers<br/><hr/><br/>From the interaction between the two women, it was clear to Tyrone that they had worked together in the past, at the very least, or were good friends. Psions were small in number, and due to the nature of the work they did, it was not surprising that paths would be crossed more than once, and friendships forged. It reassured him that some of the crew were on good terms with each other, but it also meant that there was the basis of a power bloc if things got personal or too political. That was something that he had dealt with more than enough to not be phased by it, nor shocked if it came about.<br/><br/>Petra's departure signaled that he was invited to join the Sudamerican if he so desired. A good part of his training was reading body language and non-verbal cues, so it was the equivalent of shouting at the top of her lungs. To him, a whispered invitation would have been more subtle. Deciding that it was as good a time as any to break the ice, Tyrone followed at a polite distance, letting her know he had accepted her invitation.<br/><br/>He waited for her to take her seat, then sat beside her. He took a moment to get comfortable, then turned to face Petra.<br/><br/>"I must apologise for my bad reaction to your invitation to use mindspeak. Being the son of a telepath, I was brought up with a set of manners concerning the use of that ability. Normally, I would ask verbally, or be asked verbally, the first time such a contact was made. Since you would not have known that at the time, you caused no offence by your action for that reason. What did annoy me was that you did it while we were in conversation with someone else. I am sure that you would feel a little annoyed or offended if people you were conversing with suddenly spoke an unknown language?<br/><br/>"But I must complement you on the skill you showed with your grasp of Telepathy. Unlike yourself, I have no gift for any of the other forms of Noetic Manipulation.<br/><br/>"If I may enquire, did you volunteer for this mission, or were you selected by others within your order?"
