<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/f/ff/Elizabeth_Monroe.jpg/600px-Elizabeth_Monroe.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>"Ashley Meghan Harris" (RN: Elizabeth Monroe) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339078.msg16080660#msg16080660)<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>Any (esp. Officers) - open<br/><hr/><br/>Elizabeth can't help but wonder just<em>what</em>the limits are for Petra's ability to assimilate individual pieces of biotech. The ability itself was widespread amongst those talented with Psychomorphing, but few indeed could take it to the level that Ms. Sabio could manage, excepting perhaps the Pai de Norça himself? Either way, she knew that the Biokinetic was probably right as to the limits, and to be sure no one could<em>ever</em>assimilate a Leviathan...<br/><br/>...but what exactly were those limits..?<br/><br/>Could they be-- pushed,- with her own Aptitude?<br/><br/>This was what was rolling around in Elizabeth's mind, in any event, as Petra talked about the progress being made down in Hydroponics. The discussion about Tivo's lack of experience working outside of Sudamerica bringing a bit of a grin to the Captain's face. She'd have to make sure to keep an eye down there,-- between Sybil (a unique talent), the rest of the Triton staff, the Norça contingent, and the Aesculpians, Hydroponics was perhaps one of the areas on the ship that was likely to experience a considerable amount of tension. Partly because of just how important it<em>was</em>to the mission as a whole. Frankly, Elizabeth was surprised that the Legion hadn't tried to get more of their support staff on the deck...<br/><br/>...Larssen, she supposed, understood the dangers of too many cooks in the kitchen.. as it were.<br/><br/>"That sounds like quite a sight to see, at least," the Captain noted. Taking note of the arrival of another to the forward monitor. This, she thought, was Pryk,-- the Ministry official,- about whom she knew very little simply because of the relative lack of information sent by the Chinese. She was glad that he was here; she'd been wanting to talk to him. Still, at least for the moment, she was still talking with Petra. Pryk could wait for another few moments. "I know I still haven't entirely gotten used to what some of your brothers and sisters can do with that mode. In any event, I'm curious about how things shake out in Hydroponics as well, from what I understand... Sybil is a bit of a unique talent.. collects all sorts of exoflora from exotic ports. Lured onto the mission from the promise of finding even more."<br/><br/>With that,-- and a final smile for her friend,- the Captain glances over toward their new arrival.<br/><br/>Beckoning him forward...<br/><br/>"...I believe it's Minister Pryk, yes? Tyrone?" she asks, trying her best to appear welcoming. Even though, in all honest, she found the Ministry a bit... unsettling.. even beyond most people. "You'll have to forgive the uncertainy, I'm afraid when your Government assigned you to Project Illiad, they weren't exactly the most cooperative. We didn't receive much in the way of personnel files. Part of the reason I was hoping to run into you, get a chance to talk,--"<br/><br/>She gives him a little nod. Glad that he's here.<br/><br/>"--oh, this is Petra Satio, the Liasson in charge of the Illiad's contingent from the Nova Força Nacional. She's<em>basically</em>immortal and is always walking around with a VARG inside of her," the Captain notes, grinning just a bit. "I'm your commanding officer,-- Ashley Meghan Harris on most of the official paperwork,- though you might recognize the name 'Elizabeth Monroe'."<br/><br/>When she says her actual name, she can't help but... well, glance at the Ministry Official.. wondering if he<em>would</em>recognize the name.<br/><br/>She had roughly pegged him as the person 'in charge' of the ministry Attachment-- it seemed either that, or, they didn't actually have anyone 'in charge'- if he didn't know who she was, and more importantly, her particular Aptitude and affiliation...? Well, then, that was going to be<em>awkward</em>. Something she didn't much look forward to in her officer core. She didn't relish working with the Ministry, much as she doubted they would enjoy working for a 'Chib', but, she would do it.<br/><br/>"Oh dear. No one told you anything, did they?" she says, shaking her head a bit. "...ugh, Petra, this might sting a bit less coming from you..? Or should I just spit it out?? How much DO you know about Illiad's mission, Pryk?"
