Act One, Scene One

[Kunanaki]

Captain Campbell, Skytower, and Lt. Noonia

Stopped his jogging next to the captain, wiping a bit of sweat from his brow before it could become a veritable icicle due to the weather. The Captain of Cambells was starting his speech rather immediately closer. Of course Noonia preferred a quieter bit of appreciation, it was hard to avoid Limelight when you were put on display like a prized piece of Latinum. The stage was shared of course, the rather sturdy little platform beneath him creaking like fine woods. Everything he was going to say, was rather already being said by the Captain. There was a little bit of shivering from that man which made his teeth clink, causing words to be slightly different than usual. Captain of the Cambells seemed to be a rather friendly sort of folk, somebody to really get into the nitty gritty and have at your back.

Once the whispered warning of a lack of Seona was given, the speech took another large slash from it. Yet Noonia still could say things without letting names or ideas be relevant. In fact, speaking to charm a group of people about something insignificant yet exciting was in the Engineers Handbook (Unofficial). This on the other hand was a far more grandious situation, as co-workers he barely knew were glancing up at him expectantly. Bloody hell, they hadn't even thought to place a Podium up here. Ensign Skytower really dropped the ball there, considering a Podium allowed one to sneak a peek at notes if they had them prepared, as well as thump to draw out cheers or what not. Of course, none of this thinking really took more than a pause worth of time, before raising his voice. "Combat is a greedy beast, full of misdirection and over stimulation. I had my first taste of it recently, and it narrowly bit down into me. Yet I had brave souls to my left and right, and they inspired me. I'm honoured to work with such a hearty, passionate crew. Nothing is ever accomplished alone, but together we are far stronger, and the wicked deception was discovered and corrected. Together, we will become not just the first Carrier Starship, but the cutting edge leading into the future! For the USS Thunderchild and her crew!" His voice started of course almost placid, but it was a lure to draw in the attention of those nearby. As he spoke, the timber of his vocals injected the passion of his thanks and fury of his heart, ending it in a passionate and brief manner.
