*Mai watches the two men come to an agreement and smiles*
Now, ain't this fine. We are all good friends already.
*She looks at their faces, which do not display the slightest hint of warm feeling for each other. Her smile leaves her eyes but stays fixed on her lips*
Yup, this is just fine.

* Booth frowns *.
No, "you will take no alchohol on the ship". Not "you will take no alcohol on to the ship."
* He thinks for a moment *
I think we have an understandin'.
I'll take your hand after dinner, may be to welcome you to the crew or maybe to wish you luck.
Come this way.
* He stands and leads the way out of the bar and across the distance to No Limit. He unlocks the port cargo bay door and ushers both people in. He takes them up the companionway to the upper deck where he introduces them to his Pilot, Kix *
Mai your cabin is the forward starboard one. There are two bunks in there, take either you have the cabin to yourself for now.
Doc use the forward port cabin to freshen up and then the galley is right here. We'll eat in two hours.

Two hours later the crew sit at the mess table and wait to see what has been produced.

Vexian moves into the port cabin and has a quick freshen up, well as best as he can. Returning to the galley he starts to checks out what are in the stores but his mind is still too slowed by all the alcohol running through his body so he decides that the first things to do is brew up some strong black coffee substitute, it tastes foul but seems to do the trick.
He starts to pull out a selection of tins and the couple of cooking ingredients that seem to be lying around some of them he aren’t totally sure what they all are but reckons he is close enough with most of them. As he is starts to work out what he will cook he notices right at the very back one of the store cupboards a lone bottle of very old cooking sherry, determined not to give in so quickly he slams the cupboard door shut.
Opening a selection of unlabeled tins he finds he has 3 tins mixed vegetables one meat stew possibly two. He drains the vegetables and starts to finely chop them unfortunately his hand eye co-ordination is not what it was and several times he has to stop where he has managed to cut himself. When they are done he returns them to the drained liquid to this he adds the liquid from the meat stew heating it he mixes it and adds a fine white powder he hopes is a form of flour and it soon thickens up. He tries it and surprisingly it tastes acceptable unfortunately it looks like vomit so he quickly nips into the mess when on one is around and unscrews a couple of light bulbs so it is a bit dimmer and this he hope will make the soup look better or at least not so bad.
Next he takes what he hopes is flour and mixes it with what he hopes is a butter substitute to make pastry which he rolls out and lines a pie tin with it, into this he empties the meat from the meat stew and the other tin that he hopes is also a meat stew using the remaining pastry he covers the top an places the meat pie into the oven which he remembered to turn on. Then he warms a qt. of half and half, adds a cup of grits and stirs. Letting in come to a slow boil and gently cook for 30 minutes. Half is poured into a serving bowl to be eaten hot with the meal the rest is placed in a 4 inch deep container for next morning so it can be sliced and fried in a little grease or oil.
When the crew is sitting at the table he places the soup on the table along with the meat pie and creamed grits and then retires to the galley to await the verdict. |

A large hairy figure in mismatched fatigues with the tag 'Vance' on the vest lurches from the bowels of the ship and sniffs the atmosphere:
'Say Cap'n is sumwun cookin' somethin' ? I've had me enough of military rations and my gut is so empty ma belly thinks ma throat has bin cut - agen'
He lowers himself to the table and begins to reach for the food before noticing that there are new faces on board.
'Shoot cap'n, you ain't done gone given ma sleepin'-space away has yer ? Yer knows I needs ma privacy for when I wants to do some hard thinkin' '
Seeing one of the new arrivals is a woman he pauses then begins to grin.
'Is it ma birthday ? Hell cap'n, you sure know how to look after your crew - and don't let no-one tell you different.'
Realising no-one else has said anything for a while and nobody has yet reached for the food Vance subsides.
Noticing the gun-oil smearing his palms he sheepishly rises and mutters about going to wash his hands before gettin' into a fine meal like this. |

*Booth sips the soup cautiously. A surprised expression crosses his face. Then he tries the pie and the grits*
Well that's the finest thing I've tasted made from reconstituted tinned protein. On this ship anyways.
Ladies and Gentlefolk, I think we have a new crewmember.
* He goes into the galley and shakes hands with Vexian *
Welcome to the crew Chef. You'll be sharing the front portside cabin, and you'll be on a crew-share. Don't let anyone down.
Oh and you might want to put those bulbs back, don't want anyone falling down injured til you're sober.

*When Jarhead mentions his loss of sleeping quarters, Mai decides it would be nice to be helpful.*
Aww, don't go worryin' about no place to sleep. I don't have none too much stuff anyhow to take up space and there are two bunks in my cabin. I am only gonna be usin' the one of 'em. You could always bunk with me...
*Mai looks at the astonished faces*
What? Just bein' friendly is all.

You have no idea how friendly some of this crew can be.
Jarhead & Chef will be sharing the front portside cabin. They have a bunk each just like they were promised when they signed on.

*** Kix looks up from his meal and pauses just long enough between mouth fulls to speak ***
"Well it's beats Jarhead's cookin', we got anything to wash it down with?"
*** He shovels in another mouth full, while grabing some seconds and piling them on to his plate ***
