"Sorry, Captain, I didn't mean commence the experimentation immediately," Sabrina Dubois said, holding up a hand, "I just want to know if you would be available at this moment."
"If the Captain is going to be participating, then I'll need to return to the bridge," Tamra said, looking at Orson. "Ninah and
Luisa are both capable, but we haven't been flying long, and the
de la Vega twins are split up, so I think one more set of eyes on the bridge wouldn't be a bad thing."
Sabrina nodded before continuing. "Safa is going to remain here with Brynhild, which leaves Contesa Dimitriu as our gemologist. Miss Van Dijk understands the physics of our new cargo space the best, so she'll be participating as well."
Luna smiled and nodded at the mention of her name. "In addition, Doctor Motwani, I think it would make sense to have either you or
Nurse Costa in attendance, just in case."
"We have a patient recovering in sickbay right now," Ayisha Motwani replied, "So if Bianca has no objection, I'd like to send her."
Bianca gave Orson a quick glance and blushed, remembering their hug from earlier. She nodded though, and added, "That won't be a problem." Ayisha eyed Bianca inquisitively, but didn't ask any questions.
"I'd also like to have Miss Saki there, to also cover for any unforeseen events," Sabrina Dubois added.
Tamra relayed the request and the nature of the experiment to Saki, who first smiled brightly at Orson, then gave a lengthy reply to Tamra. Tamra arched an eyebrow at Orson before telling Sabrina Dubois, "She said she's very much wants to participate."
"Excellent," Sabrina responded. "Miss Evans, I'd also like you to participate because...how do I put this politely?...more than a few of your devices are stored in the new cargo space, and I'd like to know what they are before I begin generating mystic energies in their vicinity."
This statement got a general laugh from everyone,with Lauren grinning and answering, "How could I resist such a sales pitch? I'm in."
"And I add myself to this list because, though I'm not an archaeologist like Dr. Wilson, or a folkloristicist like Miss Basta," Sabrina continued, "This is one of the most fascinating things I encountered, and I want to see it through. So if you have no objections, Captain, I suggest the people I have just listed meet in the modified cargo space in half an hour."
"That would give us a chance to make sure the gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus isn't having any problems before you begin this, Captain," Tamra suggested.
