"Ah yes. One of the new recruits, Miss Caroline-Marie Shirokuromahotsukai, or as she often refers to herself as, 'Maria', well, I am concerned she may effect our entire crew. She is a Genkshi, so naturally, the Doctor may have to tend to her at some point. She is constantly ingesting alcohol and vitamin C, far beyond any of our capabilities, and her behavior is rather, how is the way to describe, different. Alien, if the Human wills. She is overly naive and reckless, and is highly ignorant as well. Though, I personally see her in negative light. And also, a more concerning issue, is that she is highly ill, with a non-lethal disease the Doctor would be able to recognize. I know nothing of social manners, but I am to hope that someone is to look after her and manage her behavior. I personally do not want such a scarred past in my sight, however, I hope a more social Human, may understand."

Alex blinked several times, taking in Rokunam's words. "That is all," He added, finalizing his point and letting the doctor know that he was done.

"Um..." He began, unsure of where to start. "If you believe so strongly that Maria is as ill as you say, then I will do a check up on her." He turned back to Minn, but then turned back to the Exburnan. "I'm to assume that you're doing this for Maria's sake, and not because the Genkshi are ill reputed?" He questioned.

The Genkshi weren't exactly the most favorable of alien races, even humans were liked more, and that was saying something. They were a bit all over the place, as one could see from Maria, but many knew what they were doing, and could be very valuable assets. "Whether she has this disease or not, if Regina wants her on the ship, she will be."

Regina

"I don't know, Reggie." Vic said pacing the bedroom floor. "Sounds suspicious to me."

Reggie nodded, understanding where Vic was coming from. "The Council granted me permission to go on this mission. There's noway I would've gotten the funding without them. "

"So, why would they send the Guard after ya?" He finished for her.

"Exactly. I need to speak with them. That's the only way." Reggie decided. She adjusted the shirt around her shoulders. Nelly had insisted on cleaning the captain's outfit, stating that a good captain should always present themselves in good clothing. She was forced into wearing some of Nelly's things. A white crochet top that was slightly too big, constantly slipping down her shoulder.

And a pair of old shorts that had been buried underneath piles of fabric in a small box in the corner. They were a little snug on the captain, but they would do for now. Reggie ran a hand through her hair, letting a sigh escape her lips.

"I need a drink."

Vic laughed, his hearty bellow filling the room. "I agree with ya there." He stated. "C'mon, first one's on the house."

"The first one? I'm practically family!"

"Yeah, so the first one's free. Good family pays for the rest."

Reggie rolled her eyes, but followed Vic back downstairs into the bar. Several crew members were already there, making themselves comfortable. The captain immediately took a seat while Vic grabbed drinks from the back.
