Leslie is about to ask a question before one of the Ship's doors shoots open and a busted up Android walks in with a Dining cart. The Android has a familiar shade of pink and kinda looks like Alloy which catches Leslie off guard. She looks towards Graham but he simply gives her a shrug at the confused pilot since this is normal for him.
"Yup! My Projection form is merely one of my few shapes but This body is a bit shaky and can't safely leave the ship anymore." Alloy says through her Android body while it walks with this shaky frame. "It's basically falling apart faster than my repairs also The blueprints for the Frame weren't on the ship during the crash."
"Well, It's going to be a bit before we have any money for any Frame Blueprints." Leslie looks at the Dining cart with a confused stare and shrugs it off. Today has been crazy, So she wants to unwind with some food. "I'm pretty hungry after all this... What are we having?"
Leslie could smell the cooked meat when it entered the room but didn't really know what it was before Alloy approached the couch. It reminds her of steaks but there's clearly no common Livestock on this planet, So what is this meat from? She narrows her eyes at Graham pulling out a fold-able Lap desk.
"Dad and his friends were pretty weird in how or where they ate their food, No idea why he built a Dining cart." Graham says while getting a food tray with one of those steaks and a purple glass cup filled with some water. "If you're curious about the meat, There's some giant beasts on this planet that make for decent steak."
Graham picks up some silverware from the side of the food tray and starts cutting into his food while Leslie is a bit hesitant at trying some it but Alloy sets one of the fold-able lap Desks over her lap with a tray of that Steak. It's a bit sudden, So she takes her silverware to cut a small piece of it and tries it. The taste isn't bad but kinda bland from the lack of seasoning.
"We couldn't find anything good for seasoning, Sorry if it's bland." Alloy says sitting her shaky android body on the other side of the couch and reappears as her Projection to float around the area. "Nothing here tastes good or isn't poisonous that isn't a part of the wildlife."
"That's fine, It's not that bad without seasoning but that would've made it even better." Leslie looks at Alloy before eating another piece of her meal and turns to Graham since her question was interrupted by Alloy's entrance. "So, Are you going to get an official license from the Space Explorer Commission? It could be a good Job for your Goal."
"The Space Explorer Commission? That sounds like a pretty good idea, We need some funding if they're hiring some Explorers." Graham seems pretty interested in this Space Explorer Commission that Leslie mentioned to him. "We will grow our crew before applying, It's going to be a side goal for our adventures."
Leslie shrugs before getting back to her food, It's a slow meal with their small talk and The two finish up the steak in a few minutes. Alloy uses her Android body to clean up the dishes then wheeling out the Dining cart with a jolly hum. Graham lets out a small Yawn before leaning back on the couch but he perks up at an idea. He pulls out a small remote from the Couch.
"Let's relax while watching some old Movies from the Ship's Database." Graham clicks one of the buttons on the Remote to show a selection screen that has many movies that Leslie doesn't even know existed. "A monster movie wouldn't be in good taste, How about a Slice of life movie or maybe a Romance movie?"
"Romance, I like to mock the terrible relationships but the lack of snacks takes away some fun." Leslie sounds a bit more comfortable like she was a bit nervous around Graham but his mood has rubbed off onto Leslie. It feels warm in her heart. "I don't know a lot of these movies, Which one can we mock?"
Alloy walks through the hallway of this old ship and hears the two joking or talking from the door. She looks down at her hands before walking towards another room that's at the end of this hallway then enters a dark room which is faintly lit up from computer servers. She walks through the ship's server room to look at a messy desk. her Android body moving smoothly without a sound.
"Every time that I'm inside this body, I cannot help but remember you..." Alloy looks down at the desk, There's a mess of papers but an old picture that has been through years of damage. It's Graham's father with Alloy's Core in hand. "Little Graham has grown up so much, I'm sorry that you couldn't see him grow up."
Alloy enters into a sleep mode to rest her core after a eventful day like today, It's going to be many long adventures! She can't wait to see what planets this new crew will experience. Leslie and Graham feels a bit drowsy after awhile when watching a few sloppy romance movies alongside mocking them from how they're written.
Leslie looks over to Graham who's drifting off into sleep already and She leans back into her seat to think about everything. Her old life is gone, That place won't be happy with her sudden shift into being a Superhuman like this. These powers are hard to even control; They're even acting up now with some crystals growing out of her arm.
It's a scary thought about something like crystals growing wildly out of your body and Leslie has a look of quite dread at her new power. What else has changed about herself without her control? This dreadful knot in her gut about her new life but She found someone who seems pretty supportive? She leans back into the couch and slowly closes her eyes, The feeling of drowsiness finally taking over.
This is the Start of Graham's Crew with the recruitment of Leslie, The Twisted shadows stir as some heroes walk their chosen paths if they like it or not. This universe is a very harsh place to those it gives these kinds of Paths but The strength of heroes shouldn't be underestimated which is why those who live in the darkness wait for moments to strike... This Tale has only just started, Will you see the end?
