fumbling with a control panel, flustered Uh, so, this red button... I-Is it the comms or...?
I walk over to him and kiss him your fine
blushing furiously, stunned by the kiss H-Hey! Don't just do that! W-Without warning!
that's for the tractor beam, hold on let me see I flick a switch and the ship lurches forward as we jump into hyperspace done
I stumble around a bit, almost falling over but quickly regaining my balance W-Whoa! O-Okay! Th-Thanks! I say still fumbling a bit, slightly embarrassed Y-You're sure it's the comms button?
I look over at him from the command center. my white and grey wolf tail sways behind me as I say calmly press it.
He looks at you, a bit of fear in his eyes but he takes a deep breath and reaches for the button
O-Okay, here goes nothing...
He presses the button
I stop what I'm doing and look over at him no dont press that button. let me help you
Jayden looks up at you with a sheepish expression on his face Oh, thanks... I was just trying to figure out how to use this thing, but I think I made a mess of it...
I get thrown to the ground as our ship shakes violently. I'm a human male with extremely long black hair and yellow eyes
Jayden looks down at you then up at the control panel, trying to keep his cool
Wha- What happened?! Did the aliens do that?!
I have horns, a tail, and dark skin. I'm muscular and taller than Jayden "Comms." I say "What are you trying to do?"
I look up at you, intimidated by your size and demeanor, but also somewhat attracted
U-Um, I'm trying to hail them. See if we can establish communication. But... the controls are all in a different language. I don't know what any of these buttons do...
I look over at him from the pilot seat No that's not it. It's.. actually I don't know. Try pressing it but don't blame me if something bad happens.
gulps, looks at the button, then back at you, then the button again, swallows nervously
O-Okay... here goes nothing...
fumbles with fingers, slowly presses button
the radio speaks unknown vessel prepare for boarding we mean you no harm!
eyes widen, heart racing W-What?! Boarding?! They're coming here?!
I stop what I'm doing to walk over and assist him. let me see
blushing as you approach
O-Oh! Uh, yeah... th-thank you!
nervously hands you the control panel
the enemy aliens open fire, causing massive damage to the ship
Jayden falls back as debris flies around him, hitting his ears and face, he looks up at the damage and panics
Oh god! Everyone! The ship is being attacked!
I look over at him. "No, that's not the comms. Let me show you." I reach over and press a different button. "This is the comms check."
Jayden blinks in surprise as you correct him, feeling a bit embarrassed. He watches as you press the button and the comms system activates
"Oh, okay! So, that one's the comms check... Got it."
He looks back at the control panel, feeling a bit sheepish about his mistake
I look over at him from the captain's chair. I'm male human, around 6'3 with a muscular build "what are you trying to do?"
Jayden looks up, blushing a bit Oh, uh, trying to hail the alien ship... I think this button does that? I don't know what any of these do, they're all labeled in a different language...
I look over at him, I'm your captain, a male human wolf hybrid "No, that's the self-destruct sequence."
Jayden's eyes widen in horror, looking at the control panel nervously
"O-Oh, s-Sorry! Ahh-"
Jayden quickly starts pressing random buttons on the control panel, trying to figure out how to turn the self-destruct sequence off
I walk over to you and stand behind you what's up?
nervously flipping through the controls U-Um... I'm not sure if I'm pressing the right buttons. This button- points to a red button -it says comms but it also has a big warning sign on it...
I point to the left comm, thats the one on the right. That's the engine booster
I look at the right one then back at the left one, my face turning red as I realise my mistake
R-Right... I know that, I just... um... got a little... confused. Sorry about that.
I turn to look at him from my chair. "Jayden, that's the self destruct button."
Jayden's eyes widen in horror WHAT?! Wh-Why is it there?!
I turn around in my chair to see him oh good god..
Jayden turns around, embarrassed by the unexpected interruption
"Ah! Sorry about that, I'm just..."
He gestures to the console he's working on, which has a bunch of buttons and lights.
"... trying to figure out how to use this thing."
I turn around to see what he's talking about "Oh, that? That's the self-destruct."
eyes widening W-Wait, w-what?! Self-destruct?! Why would it be the self-destruct?!
I grab your arm, my grip tight as panic sets in You can't just have the self-destruct button labeled as "Comms"!
I'm standing next to him in my officer uniform. trying not to stare at his outfit Jay, take your time
His ears perk up as you stand next to him, he glances over at you, taking notice of your uniform, then back to the controls, still fiddling around O-Oh, right, sorry, I'm just a little... uh, overwhelmed. Never done this sort of thing before.
