((ATTENTION Kaeruen, Em, Fizz, and Yoko at least.))
Elliot was in fits at this point, watching Em getting mauled by his "attackers". She quickly swerved into the crowd and dashed past a few people, appearing beside Em in a burst of speed and helping the other two mess with him. She squeezed in beside Fizz and grinned at Yoko.
Jessie was a bit surprised when the danglies were pulled off her head, but seeing the group in a tussle was more than enough to make her smile. She threw a wink to Fizz to reassure her when Elliot squeezed in there, then glanced across the crowd to spot Kaeruen relatively alone. At least, she was "alone" in the sense that she had drawn inward. We'll fix that. The bird slipped away and behind the crowd, casually walking up behind Kaeruen and resting her winged hands on the girl's shoulders. She starts into a bit of a massage, leaning down slightly to talk to her. "You feelin' alrigh' hun? Ya seem to have a bit of a rain cloud over ya."
((I had more, then my comp crashed >< stupid thing))

(OOC: Sorry I wasn't on all day; just comin on to post this before I go to bed. Attn: Ben, Goldy, Prof. Hangar, Mikari, Yoko, Elliot, Fizz, and... pretty much everyone else at the Arboretum)
Nellie suddenly livened up at the realization of what Ben had in mind and started kicking and screaming, "Wait, don't! I'm sober! I'm sober!" but her words fell on deaf ears and her punches on an insensitive sack of fur. Nellie continued her futile attempts but to no avail; her butt prevented her from slipping out from under Ben's arm. They were last seen disappearing into the washroom where Nellie was to be mercilessly dunked into tubs of water.
As Shani watched the hand gestures and, finally, the hair-plucking, she couldn't help but giggle, trying to cover her muzzle with a paw; the way the honey bee acted was so adorable and completely unthreatening. "You are... fluffy?" she took a guess. Before she could make more out of what her companion was trying to say, her attention was caught by Connie and the appearance of the professor. She sent an excited look Goldenrod's way before joining in the applause. Ilya and Vidya were some of the first to join in, recognizing professor Hangar as easily as Connie had. Souley caught the shrimp looking directly at him and turned away, but his eyes were positioned in a way that he could still see her. Distractedly, he joined in the clapping as well, filling in for three people at once with his number of arms.
Em, sure enough, lifted the spirits, but maybe too much? Mikari's positive reaction and light smack on the shoulder made him stop what he was doing, catching hold of the danglies before they fell off his head, and break out laughing as well. "Hey, a little fun never hurt anyone," he said, still laughing. Little did he know, how wrong he was about to be regarding that statement. In the next moment, it felt like something smashed into him from behind; it was with such momentum and unexpectedness that he went flying face-first into the backside of his chair. Lucky for the girl that his quills didn't reach her, for they involuntarily poked up in the split second of the impact. After he recovered from the dizziness, he found himself surrounded by girls... who obviously had intentions of playing with him rather than helping him remove the assaulter. "Ohh, ow... Elliot!" he laughed again, regaining his sense of humor despite the stinging pain right between his eyes. "Mind explainin' to me what fell on my head here?" He pushed himself up and then adjusted the feline's legs so that they'd fall around his shoulders rather than jut into them with their heals. The danglies had been batted off by now, either by Elliot or the small red ant, he wasn't sure which, because he was now catching a glimpse of a certain coyote's backside that was so conveniently in view. They ARE all doin' this here on purpose, he thought, quickly casting his eyes away and up at the kitty-cat on his head instead, trying on an innocent smile. This here sure is turnin' out to be a fine day.

(Not gonna post Stryke right now. Just gonna ninja her into the arboretum. xD)
May (Attn: Libya, Orpheus, Prof. Hangar, Martoof) Shiny golden eyes drank in the beauty of the Arboretum, though eventually shifted to the crew members waiting for the Captain to speak. But wait.. who was that next to him? Some other, old hyena. Awe suddenly struck her when she realized who it was, jaw almost dropping. Having worked heavily in the science and medical fields known, she definitely know who the tall, lanky man was, her quadruple tails starting to flail in excitement. "Would you excuse me for a moment, dear? I just want to speak to someone for a moment." Gentle smile brushed her features as she looked over at her little shadow, hoping she could possibly spot out one of the other young crew members to make friends before the ship set out. Pink vulpid weaved through the crowd with that natural fox grace, scooting up beside an equally eager otter, waiting to make both the captain and his father's acquaintance.
Sela (Attn: Edmund) Reptilian quickly picked up on his shy manner, ignoring appearance of the Professor for the moment, and had a bit of fun. Long tail uncurled, the smooth scales running against Ed's tough shell, lids fluttering over those sunset eyes as a coy smirk graced her lips. "Oh, you're very welcome~" Such a cheeky chameleon, though I suppose that was a good term with those ample hips. But it was all in good fun to make the shrimp fluster.
Skine (Attn: Lu, Kalte, Sicil, Kuria, Dalvis, etc.) Echidna was stopped with the armadillo when they passed by the loading dock, her crimson eyes having caught sight of a toothy wolf, dashing lamb, and the remainder of some undergarments in the hands of a fennec who stood beside a curious looking canine and another armadillo. "What in the hell...?" She asked aloud at the odd situation, wondering what in gods name had happened before they got here. "Mind if I ask what yer doin' with them grundies?" Curious looked was given down to Sicil, Aussie girl having yet to notice he was the XO. She'd probably have a stroke when she did.
Amy (Attn: Sukira, Felix, Bandit) A bit of stuttering was uttered to the cheetah, trying to answer his question, but she was soon interrupted by a very helpful coyote in military attire, and a rather curious looking robot, though she hardly noticed that fact at first. Large ears perked lightly from laying flat back on her head, a delighted sparkle growing in her big brown eyes as they offered her help. "Oh! Th-thank you..." Dainty tail was a blurr as it whipped about furiously, tiny smile on her lips, "Yes, I'm fine really." Chihuahua blushed softly, feeling embarrassed at the attention while she joined the gathering, making sure it all got in. Shy little cutie.

(Attention =EVERYONE=)
Both hyenas were turned away from the crowd for a short while, discussing something in private until the sudden influx of fans captured the Professor's Attention. He turned and observed the crowd, then looked back to his son who simply nodded. Herald smiled, patting Orpheus on the shoulder before they both turned to face the crowd. Prof. Hangar was a little embarrassed by the sudden attention, but he sort of expected it... "Mr. Keahaul, Miss Belacqua, could you please be seated for one moment? I have something I must say to the crew before anything else; I hope you understand and don't take offense."
Kaien watched on from his seat, then smirked. "Oh, I think I know what's going on..."
Samson wanted to say more, but, hearing the Professor's voice, he turned and snapped back to attention,giving the others authoritative glares...
"Ladies and gentlemen, could you please be seated? I have an announcement." Herald said, the microphone in his jacket sending his voice through the entire ship and through to the NN-the NewsNet-silent camera drones hovering in the room adn sending the videos to all populated areas of Earth, Mars, Venus, and the new orbital stations around Jupiter. "There has been a slight change of plans. The ship shall leave at it's scheduled time, but there has been a slight crew roster change." He looked over the crowd, then at the cameras. "My son, Orpheus Hangar, has elected to step down from his position as Captain of the Harbinger, and will instead take his place as Head of Research. I, Professor Herald Hangar, shall now be the Captain of the Exploratory Star Cruiser 'Harbinger.'"
The older hyena paused for a moment, swallowing and adjusting his glasses before taking a deep breath. "My fellow anthropes, you have all been selected as the core crew of the starship Harbinger for your expertise in the fields of astronomy, science, mathematics, and sheer ingenuity. Today is a historic day; not only shall we reach the limits of our own system, but we shall shatter the current barriers of our knowledge. We shall be the first sentient beings known to current science to leave this solar system, and we shall reach out to the nearest star and it's children, it's own planets. I am proud to have a crew such as this, so intelligent to know how to not only continue this starship's operation but to also improve it and technology as we know it along the way, so brave as to stand what may lie ahead, and so open-minded, ready and willing to see and learn that which has been unknown to those before you. It fills my heart with joy to serve alongside such a magnificent crew, and I believe that every single one of you will not live up to my expectations, but surpass them in every way. Thank you all."

*Zaos, Zain and Tyler each listened to the older hyena's speech with keen interest. They smiled a bit, looking at each other at the announcement that Orpheus would step down as captain, Zain pretending to give a silent whistle of slight shock. Tyler simply mouthing the word "Wow".*
This is an interesting little development....
*Zaos thought to himself as he continued to listen, ears perked as he studied the situation. Still trying to take in the magnitude of this expedition. The wolsky looking around, glancing at the other crew members to gauge their reactions as well to this sudden news flash.*

(OOC: Technically Mizzy's turn, but Shani and I agreed that since none of my chars are waiting for Mizzy's post (and since weekends are the only times in which I can post a huge RP reply), that I should reply tonight before Monday D: )
Starboard Boarding Hatch A (Attention Professor Hangar, Stryke, Mei, Tad, Tay, Namika, Dalvis, anyone else at the boarding hatch) Kalte only brought himself to smirk in a fashion that followed suit well with his barely legal methods of eyeballing the more youthful, and feminine, members of the crew. He gave a quick salute to Miss Mei as she continued on her way. "Of course, but if you ever need anything else, ANYTHING at all, you know who to come to!" he told her with a particularly toothy grin.
However, being snapped back into reality was often painful and harsh to someone with his head, and other parts of his anatomy, in the clouds. He was now faced with an impatient aquatic sticking papers practically in his face. Fun was over. Without saying a word, his expression changed from that goofy look a male gets in the presence of a tempting lass to a look more fitting for an ex-con now working as a security guard in a mall. In an unamused fashion, he grabbed the aquatic creature's paperwork, approved it all after barely taking a moment's look at it while the professor's speak played over the PA, and then handed it all back. "Alright, fishies, let's keep this line moving," he commented in the most bland and unenthusiastic way possible. Now that his eye candy had gone, he had little to be excited about now.
Sicil would probably likely have some pretty deep red cheeks right about now with all of the females surrounding him and commenting about where his hands were right now. However, Sicil was far from an easily embarrassed male. Giving that the young Mei had already vacated the area, he casually grabbed hold of the sports bra and swung it up over his shoulder, letting it lay flat out and very much exposed over his shoulder like it were a purse or a back pack. Smiling a bit at Dalvis' comment, he couldn't help but to respond. "Well, then it's a good thing the XO found a piece of the young lady's wardrobe, now he can return it to the lost and found so she can collect it."
His voice was polite but playful as well as he gave a toothy smile. He turned then to Echidna and continued to display this silly expression. "Well, well, I wouldn't very well let her precious undergarments lie on the ground collecting dust--and remaining a viable target for the "Big Bad Wolf"," he told her, giving her a playful wink, "It's best we keep these out of his hands, he might get himself too worked up and have a heart attack--and then what would we do without our precious head of security?" he asked, continuing to show those pearly whites. Before he could get a response out of any of the probably surprised girls, he flashed them a quick salute and another wink, "Toodles, ladies!" he said, turning to continue down the corridor towards Arboretum with the bra slung over his shoulder, continuing to whistle his "Our Yankee Ships" tune, keeping the beat well within his steps.
After Sicil had made his exit, Kuria couldn't help but to giggle a little at the short fox's curious nature. She turned to Dalvis after flashing Skine a slight smile, "Heh--well, that was interesting--perhaps we should continue to the Arboretum though, it sounds like the speech has started..."
Arboretum (Orpheus, Em, Felix, Bandit, May, Amy, anyone else in the Arboretum)[/u] Libya nodded politely as May quietly excused herself from the hybrid's presence. "Oh, of course, I understand," she quipped, watching the vixen proceed towards the two hyenas. Now feeling silly standing in the open while the speech was taking place, she moved to sit down in a position where May would have room to join her later.
Darfix had managed to make it into the Arboretum about the time the speech had started. Opting not to take a seat, he instead chose to stand up in the back, giving him a pretty good view of the entire area, allowing him not to miss anything. It might not be overly social, but it did the trick. Besides, how many friends and phone numbers could you get while "Colonel Sanders" was on about seceding the throne from his son?
Sukira looked up as Bandit moved to help Amy and herself while Professor Hangar went on with his speech. Finding her usefulness expired as the combined efforts of the three made picking up Amy's goods quick and efficient, Sukira retreated back to her seat, keeping her head low so as not to interrupt anyone's view of the old Hyena. She didn't want to be rude, after all! Upon returning to her seat, she resumed the position she was in before, leaning most of her weight on one side of her buttocks while propping her shoulder up against the shoulder rest and crossing one of her legs over the other. It was both sexy, and required some physical stamina to maintain, but most of all, to her, it was comfortable.
Siasia quietly listened to the speech, now kind of thankful she didn't have a coyote tail distracting her easily. Such a think easily caused her moderate embarrassment, and could make her cheeks turn all manner of red. Being young and single like she was and having grown up in a not very "open" family made her as nervous as she was about such things. She was more at home quietly and politely listening to speeches and the like...
Mikari wasn't the only one surprised by the sudden influx of females surrounding her Porcupine boss. She fell silent only as a result of the extra voices--and sights--surrounding them. Not only that, with Colonel Sanders giving his speech, it was easier to divert her eyes onto the geezer Hyena than it was to simply listen and watch the other girls giving Em a hard time.

(Attn: Em, Yoko) A bodiless voice from an above tree branch talks to Em and, because Yoko is above him, she would hear as well. "Old man has a good presence to him. Confident, poised, humble; it's a wonder that Orpheus is the brat that he is with such a dignified father. You, too, have a good heart that I can see in your eyes, but seem to be troubled by an uncertain past. People's eyes lay bare their hearts before me. I can see a heart with lust, but also a deep love for someone. I wonder who it could be. I thought I would talk to you, one who seems to have this natural magnetism to which others, who encompass you, are inexplicably drawn to. I am here to escape my past, and now I just want me to be free, you see. I think you and I are going to have a lot of fun." A toothy grin appears from nothingness and speaks. "These cameras make me nervous. I cannot be caught by them, or they will come; I am nonexistent here to the government. But I can still help as my talents require. Tell me; what is a person, who could best be described as a redneck, doing here."

Arboretum (people involved with my characters) Yoko stuck her tongue out playfully at the monkey and continued to sit on Em's head, the coarse hairs of it tickled her tummy.
*giggles*
She could see everything from up here! Why get off? No one seemed to mind, right?
"Yoko is on top of de wo'ld! Aaa, speechu staating, an us have new captain? Wai! Dis time is for us appurying burast-off! It goes, it fries with speed of right, we run into ariens an Yoko hop to her fighter an ban-ban-ban!"
She thrashed her arms and legs, "shooting" at invisible alines, and rocked from side to side. When she heard the mysterius voice from above she swerved her ears and looked up with wild eyes. Nothing. This was SO freaky weird!
"You hear dat? I tought I hear someting. But dere's nobody dere! It is gost! It is arien!!"
She grabbed tiny fistfuls of the porcupine's hair and clung tight to his head.
Mei pranced in when the speech had started and she saw her stepsister right away, how could she miss her, but instead of taking a seat, she stood quietly in the back next to Darfix. She wore a smile but felt an anxciousness like one normally would before any trip. She looked oblivious and unaffected by the news however, munching away at her gingerbread furre.
The giraffe girl raised an eyebrow in slight amuzement at the sudden change of leadership. The old geezer was suceeding the throne from his son? So what, when he dies, Orpheus gets to become captain a second time?! Jun felt she would vote against that when the time came.

Kaeruen jerked her shoulders out of the bird's grasp.
"Not a rain cloud, I just hate waiting around for grand speeches. I'm just bored that's all."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the old professor started into the "grand speech". She only half-way listened. About the only thing that she found truly important in the whole thing was that Orpheus was no longer going to be captain. That was important. She needed to know who the big boss was. When at last he did finish, Kaeruen sat up properly.
"Name's Kaeruen and now that he's done talking, I'm going to go find something hard to drink."
She stood and stretched and turned to leave.
"You're welcome to join me, but I ain't staying here any longer than I have to."

ooc: Hey guys, this is going to involve a "suprise", that and if I missed anyone, please kick me and let me know ^^; This is the Tropi-post commin' at ya from 5:40 friggin o'clock in the mornin', HALLELUJAH!! ))
(Em, Yoko, Doyle)
Fizz eeked and jumped out of the way before Em squished her in some way, giggling afterwords, watching Yoko sit attop Em's shoulders.
Though she spotted the danglies on the floor and quickly dived to pick them up, and once she straightened out, she placed them attop her head and trilled in a cute and positive manner about herself.
But then was startled by the sudden voice, her antennae perked upwards as she examined the scene, but saw nothing. "<Cliiiick>?" when the voice of the older Hyena spoke, an antennae flicked and she payed attention to the new Captain, quickly returning to Edmund's side to settle down.
(Amy and Sukira)
"That's good." Bandit smiled quite sincerely, bowing to both Amy and Sukira, and returned to his stationed spot after all the papers were returned to the small and delightfully cute chihuahua. He stood quietly a mere three feet from Orpheus and Dr. Herald. "A most excellent choice of words, Captain."
(Shani)
Goldy looked absolutely downtrodden, he can't speak, he doubted the rather pretty Hyena lady infront of him even understood sign language. Looking at the shiny, fluffy hair he had just plucked, sighing, and then turning towards the Proffesor and his son and clapped half heartedly, then silenced when the Elder of the two spoke.
(Souley-mon <33)
Sol's antennae flicked, observing him very carefully for a few minutes, then turning away to clap, her hands making a clacking sound while doing so due to her chiten covered body. Though the octopus had one-up over her due to his own eyes, as she could not see in two directions at once, nor position them to keep an eye on him too. That and her attention was drawn away by the Speech, where all the applauding died down.
(Sela)
Making him fluster was an understatement, and she probably over did it just a wee bit, warping the poor, massive pile of chiten and brawn all nice and neatly packed stomatopod form's brain... in the most politest of responses, he shuddered.
Glancing down with all four eyes at the Lovely lizard, then away, attempting to not get so easily wooed. but his attraction was not very easy to hide as he still wore the bright blush throughout what the piece of engineering muscle believed to be the first part of the Hyena's speech.
(Kuria and Skine)
Dalvis just stared at the XO as he walked away, tooting merrily as he did so, coughing, pulling off her cap to scratch at her head embarrisingly, "Uhm, Yeah, Speech, uhm, Yeah. Speech, let's go." she said, fumbling over her own words at how silly she just got with the remark she made over a sports bra... like a wallet her armored behind I-N-D-E-E-D!
(People at the Arbertoreum entrance, here's my surprise)
Down the hall comes one member who was snoozing and chillaxing in his water tank, having needed to breath in water for the day. But had remembered a time date, and made like one of those fancy pants Australian Frill-necked Lizards into presentable clothes and to the arbertorium.
This was Cole. Cole Jerome Loreart, resident Texan Armadillo girdled lizard hybrid, speckled like a fawn's back but sleek like his other bloodline, and the Grill Chef of the Harbinger.
Dressed in jeans, a sheer white shirt under a denim jacket, he comes skidding to a stop, hearing the last few words from within and looking panic-struck. "Aw Hell naw, don't tell me I missed the big pretty speech!" having unavoidable Texan accent and looking at the other people at the entrance, seeming to expect a reassurance from them.
((if you don't like it, you can kick me even harder. 8D;; ))

((ATTN:Nellie, everyone present at the Arboretum))
After enthusiastically listening to the great professor Hangar's speech, Connie jumped from her seat with excitement and started applauding his performance "Oh, now we all got ourselves a REAL captain!" she exclaimed. "ooh-ooh! captain-sir! Please, captain, sir! Captain, please order me around first, please!" Connie said as she hopped up and down in anticipation of "The greatest scientist in the world, and first and foremost contributor to anthrope-kind" giving his first command to his biggest fan. ((or security :3))
Elsewhere on the ship, a washing machine came to a stop, ejecting a now semi-sentient Nellie out of its bowels and onto an ironing board. With an iron hot and ready, Ben swiftly pressed and steamed the body in front of him into a more "presentable" state. To be completely sure of his handy-work, he pulled out some lilac-scented bathroom deodorant to make Nellie's mouth-hole less of a garbage disposal, and more of something one could use to communicate. Being late as it was, Ben neatly folded Nellie up and over his shoulder, and rushed off to the arboretum, only to find that they may have missed something awkward, given by the fact that only one person was clapping and half the crew were busy sending silent gapes up at the podium.

(OOC: Posting just Elliot's post for now. Mine will come later. ATTN: Kaer, Fizz)
Jessie let her pull away, giving her some space. "Ah know whatcha mean, hun." She leaned in to whisper, "Just between you and me, ah'd rather be bakin' somethin' right now. Never a bad time for somethin' sweet." She gave Kaeruen a beaky grin and clapped with everyone else, carefully listening to the speech. When everything was over she spoke up again. "Ahm Jessie. You drink, Ah'll get somethin' to eat, and we'll have a little celebration, hm?"
Sia glanced over at Fizz once the little ant returned to Edmund's side, still appearing a bit grumpy. Her attention was of course diverted when the speech started, but every so often she'd look back, sizing the smaller ant up.
Elliot was about to pull a little prank in an attempt to cause more trouble, but thankfully for Em, it was just then that the speech started and distracted her. She didn't clap but she fixed on the two hyenas facing them and listened.

(OOC: Attn: Doyle, others around Em, Benny used with permission, Arboretum people)
Things just got a little bit weirder, if the day hadn't brought enough surprises already: At first, Em was relieved that the speech had started, rerouting some of the girls back to their seats. The speech itself, however, managed to leave him in a state of mild surprise. "Well, what do ya know!" he said to himself before suffering another attack from the hyperactive Japanese schoolgirl who acted like she was on 14 different flavors of crack. That was it. Now he did mind her sitting on his neck. He didn't want it broken! He plucked Yoko off and seated her down in a free chair to his side, opposite of the one where Mikari was sitting. "Calm down, girl, what's up?" he asked in a hushed tone. Yoko was being so loud before, he almost didn't hear the voice from above, but now he looked up himself. Nothing seemed to be there. But a voice spoke to him... of an uncertain past? He shifted his eyes before answering, "I'm sorry, God, I didn't mean to hide porn in the bible." He followed the statement with a smirk, knowing there was no God, and that the voice probably belonged to some tech nerd who was basically saying that he wanted to hang around him to get his own influx of girls. The last question, though, turned Em off of playing along to this "Cheshire Cat's" game and, calmly ignoring it, he returned to listening to what else the hyenas had to say.
Nellie coughed up some lilac-scented gasses which intermingled with the scent of Eau de Vie, and asked Ben, "What for didja hafta drag me through all that? Ah could've listened from th' bar, but noooo. Now Ah missed th' speech!" "Em asked us to come 'ere to show that we ain't no slackers, we gotta make good first looks, rite? Also, I woulda gone and washed you up anyways, cus you smelled of things one wouldn't go find in any water closet, I can tell ya that much right thar." "Oh shush, you! Ah don't smell that bad. If Em don't want us t'be slackin' around, then stop slackin' me around on yer shoulder, slacker." After that, Ben dropped her into a seat, and Nellie tried to make herself comfortable. She didn't like doing what she was told or what the bandwagon was doing, but if this was for Em, then she could tolerate this. It wasn't like her to betray a friend.
Connie's applause wasn't left to hang for long, as a few others began to join in. Vidya was especially delighted to have Orpheus, personally, as the head of her field. Souley didn't care either way. And Ilya was beginning to fidget a bit, wondering when he could go play. What was different now is that one of the people giving a hand of applause had been quieter than a mouse up to this moment, slouching in his chair and taking in every word spoken quite seriously. Now, however, the professor's speech left the red-bellied lemur, known as Louis, feeling proud, useful, and dead chuffed!

May (Attn; Libya, Kaien, Ilya) With a displeased little frown May followed the professor's order and trudged back to the seats with the otter who had waited next to her, settling down in the chair beside her little assistant of sorts. Though the speech was inspiring and well said, May wasn't as dazzled as the rabbit or peahen, merely giving a normal applaud. Once conversation started again amongst the others she looked to the little vixen, smiling lightly, "So did you find any of the other kids? I think I saw one when we came in..." Golden eyes looked around as her head was stretched up to see above the crowd. "Ah! There he is! Little Ilya, who'll be working with us. And I believe that's Kaien over there, who's a tech."
Sela (Attn; Edmund, people in Arbortoreum) A dainty little giggle was given, the chameleon seeing how timid this big 'ole boy really was. "Hehe. My my, bit of a shy one, huh? Don't worry, I'll tune it down." A slender hand gave Ed a playful push, long tail wiggling and swaying her curved hips lightly, sending that lovely, alluring island spice scent to any curious noses.
Skine (Attn; Kuria, Dalvis, Sicil) "Eh... Cheeky bloke..." Echidna would mutter to herself, watching Sicil whistle a tune and stride off in a nonchalant manner. But her attention finally turned back to the two girls with her, a bit of a grin curling that pointy mouth, and both arms draped on their shoulders, leading the two off to the meeting place, "We'll be a tad late, but no worries. Ah'll grab you sheilas a middy after. ...Though you might need a stubby, little tart." Her last comment was towards Kuria, but her strine slang was so weird that it would be a wonder if they understood any of it.
Stryke (Attn; Prof. Hangar) Energetic hedgehog girl was almost bored to tears by this gathering. She thought it'd be exciting, but the stone cold quiet of the room as the new captain gave his speech almost drove her crazy, his booming drone not helping even though it was noise. But the sudden sounds of their clapping finally calmed her nerves, Stryke looking up from her chair to take a glance about, but nothing special was going on, except the influx of females around that porcupine guy. So she decided to stir something up, hand raised high in the air and waving to get the professor's attention, "So like.... When are we taking off?" Her casual way of talking to such a high authority would have probably been a mistake, but she didn't seem to take mind of what anyone thought.
Amy (Attn; Louis, Nellie, Ben) After thanking Sukira and Bandit the little dog shouldered her bag, entering about two-thirds into the speech. But that was okay since it wasn't severely important. Booted feet clomped on the walkway before shuffling to the grass area, weaving around seated folk to find an open one. The strong odor of some scented chemical caught her nose and throat however when she passed a towering bear and quickly scrubbed up possum lady. Hand over her nose while coughing, not exactly partial to room spray, she apologized while shuffling past them down the line. Eventually she found an open chair next to a rather lanky, yet strangely attractive red lemur. But it was an attraction like some sort of fangirl to a famous person. With a fiddling hand twirling a chocolate lock, Amy pipped up to him nervously, "Uh.. uhm.. Excuse me.. Is this seat taken?"
Artimus (Attn; Sia, Fizz, Em and his many fans) A soft applaud was heard, a bit aways from the main crowd, near small copse of trees. A tall, lean figure rested idly against one of the slender trunks, two of his four arms clapping as the other two were crossed over an old, fitted, white work shirt, which was scuffed lightly with dirt. Insectoid male was of the butterfly family, the trademark wings neatly folded down to conserve space. Though he looked like a rough and tough fellow, a small poetry book and pencil was stuffed into a back pocket of dirtied jeans, showing he was a rather sensitive individual. Once applauds were finished he pushed a stardusted hair from his face, stunningly bright green eyes standing out against an azure face. "Mmm, bit of a crowd..." Arty noted to himself quietly as he looked over the crew members across the grass, his vision switching from spectrum to spectrum to see their colors. But a certain little red arthropod caught his attention like a rare flower. Antennae twitched lightly, taking in any scents, before pushing off the tree to walk over, an eye kept on the even bigger, black ant close at hand. Seating himself near the sea of girls drowning the poor porcupine fellow, Artimus tapped the red ant on the shoulder, one hand producing a rather lovely braided crown of richly bloomed dandelions, which he sneakily made on the way over, as a gift to her. Though the dandelion was a weed, it always seemed to be the most innocent and loved of them all. "Excuse me, senorita. I could not help but notice a lovely one, such as you, from across the field." A little cheesy, but it was true, and sounded even more pleasant to the ears with his sultry Spanish accent, like a swarthy hero in one of those little romance novels.

(Attention: everyone)
A little embarrassed by the clapping, the professor rubbed the back of his head some with his left hand, waving to them with his right. However, a different reaction came from Orpheus to Connie & Stryke's mannerisms, as well as the group who seemed to be more focused on Em rather than his father. "LADIES! Ladies!" He bellowed at them, stepping up. "This is NO way to behave on a ship of this sort; show some decency and restrai-" He was cut in mid-sentence as Herald firmly placed his left hand on the hyena's shoulder, Orpheus taking a breath and sighing.
The Professor then took his son's place, trying to get things under control once more. "Ladies and gentlemen, would the heads of each field approach my son here? we must organize ourselves into our appropriate groups in order to prepare for launch." He turned and nodded to Kaien, who nodded back and hopped out of his seat before running up to the small stage the podium was on. "Except for you..." Herald pointed to Martoof, "You..." then to May, "And you." he ended on Connie. He descended the stage, gesturing for them to come along as he exited the Arbortoreum.
"As the Captain has instructed, I will need the head of every field to please step up, unless instructed otherwise by Mr. Hangar himself. Once everyone is in their appropriate groups and acquainted, well will present you with your uniforms you are to wear whenever you are on-duty aboard the Harbinger." He instructed as Lynn simply lifted from her current location, hovering over any of the crew mates who happened to be in her path before daintily lading next to the young Thylacine. "Martoof, Letash; since our groups are so small but very similar, you two shall have the same uniform, and we fall under the same line of command; any orders given to tech are reflected in the maintenance and operation of the MAC-P and MAP-S cannons, and vice verse."
"All scientists, report to me." Orpheus continued, taking his datapad from earlier out of his jacket once more, senidng a message to Kalte and to Samson, telling Kalte to report to the Arbortoreum and for Col. Felix to take his place until he arrives, standing straight with his arms behind his back afterwards.
"Ten-HUT!" Col. Felix barked at Zaos, having stomped up to the canine after observing his obvious disinterest. "You'd best get your head outta yer ass, boy!" He growled, turning and approaching the stage with the others, shaking his head some in disbelief. "how the hell did some perverted slacker like Kalte make it to Head of Security? He has NO decency, and anything with no Y-chromosome distracts him...I should be the one to beat these losers into shape..."
