6-043: Merchant Freighter Spanial
The Captain is currently On Watch in the Control Room.
Lia knows from her pilot training that spaceships are required to have a qualified deck officer On Watch at all times while Underway in normal space (N-space). It is also recommended practice to do so at all other times. Captain Karmen will probably be in there until the end of Green Shift, when Ipan will relieve her. There’s not typically a lot to actually do while one is on watch, you’re supposed to generally monitor the ship’s status and surrounding space, but in reality, the computer will warn you if something is up. However, the law says someone has to be in there.
When Lia leaves Engineering it is GG05.
She returns to her cabin to work on her sapphire, presumably eats lunch at some point and possibly works the rest of Green shift – a typical full work Cycle if she’s counting the time spent helping out in the Shuttle.
Then it will be time for dinner at some point.
While in N-space, Lia has noticed that Captain Karmen and Ipan usually eat together in the Control Room at the start of Blue shift, just after shift change (she heard Karmen refer to this at one point as ‘Mother and Son time’ and Ipan rolled his eyes.)
The Engineers and Kwint usually eat in the Common Room during the BY Break. While in H-Space (in Jump), Captain Karmen and/or Ipan will sometimes eat at this time as well.
I can imagine Lia matching their routine, being peopley…
The Captain’s routine is matched with Lia’s, they sleep at the same time. After her Watch, the Captain goes to her Cabin for the evening and Lia’s won’t see her.
What will she do this afternoon/evening? Will she engage with the Captain at any point?
If she doesn’t, at Green shift the next cycle, Captain Karmen will ask Lia to come to the Control Room.
She’ll eat lunch in her quarters and spend the afternoon doing some more work on different pieces. She might also check over her wardrobe in preparation for any possible clients she may have lined up. Then she’ll have a play with a new scent she’s been working on before getting antsy again and doing a session with her weight set in her quarters.
She can wait till the Captain calls her to the control room.
She will turn up in her slimline grey slacks, with a button up shirt over the top The shirt has tiny green flowers all over it and there are several buttons undone, exposing her neck and decolletage. She is wearing a fine gold chain with an emerald droplet dipping into her cleavage.
She smells of white Jasmine.
