Private Unique Passenger

[Agrippina Olearius]

Location: House Olearius Migrant Fleet
En Hypserspace

Ship- Stargazer

Tag- Riven

Agrippina walked throughout the ship, Stargazer. This arkship was a city in space, complete with both civilian and military districts. Thousands of people lived and worked onboard her ship and the Migrant Fleet as a whole. Though while the Migrant Fleet had strict restrictions who came onboard to serve the ruling members, occassionally some unique people willl be allowed onboard. Provided if the residing leader of the arkship agreed for them to come onboard. One such person was onboard Agrippina's ship, one who had all their expenses paid for. Agrippina had all of theirr unique guests housed in a section of the ship near the hangar, so that way they could leave faster when they docked. The area was also guarded, with armed patrols walking through the halls.

They bowed with Agrippina coming through. She would be heading to the quarters of Riven to properly figure out who she was.

Riven was fortunate that her ever caring benefactor had the foresight to pay for even her travelling expenses, and what better way to travel than with such an esteemed fleet of ships so known for navigating throughout the void of space? The short elf was a typically silent traveler, never really getting in the way of anyone, and never really interacting either. Granted this meant that it came as some surprise to her when the temporary quarters she was housed within opened up and the Agrippina stepped in.

At first the pale elf was concerned that she had done something wrong and that she was now about to be reprimanded over it, often did her thoughts go to worst case scenarios first, but she quickly stood up from the bed she was sitting on to offer a short bow of greeting to the woman before her, and then she glanced to her side where her ever loyal companion droid Pincer was idling about, shooing it away with a hand as it offered a couple of low pitched beeps and scuttled away from sight; the large optical scanner on its tail watching Agrippina before it disappeared from view.

Red eyes shifted back towards the Navigator as Riven parted her lips to speak, "... Hi...?" was all she managed as she stood up straight. The elf was short, very short, standing at just 5'2 as she tilted her head up to look at Agrippina, but that crimson gaze of hers seemed to constantly be diverting away as if maintaining eye contact was difficult for her.

Agrippina simply stared at Riven for a moment, now finally noticing how short the passenger was. As she stepped into the room, Agrippina felt off. Like that her senses were being messed with. She felt slightly lightheaded as she then turned once more to Riven. seeing that it came from her. How interesting. She lazily glanced to the robot that was also in the room with the two of them. Agrippina found that scrappy robot to be rather dirty. As such this compartment will need to be deep cleaned after this passenger leaves.

Agrippina waved her hand. "Salutations. I assume you know who I am judging by your reaction. Please be at ease for now. I may be the Lady Of House Olearius, but I am also the captain of this starship. As such I need to know some information about you personally." Aggripina folded her hands into her lap. "Your benefactor has forwarded a considerable amount of credits to us. More than needed. How long do you plan on sticking with the Migrant Fleet?"

Riven's crimson gaze shifted back to Agrippina when she spoke, but again it seemed difficult for her to hold that eye contact as she couldn't help but glance down, and then away once more. She gave a nod of her head to confirm that she indeed knew who she was; that much she had been informed of before boarding the Stargazer itself.

Despite being given leave to be at ease Riven seemed anything but as her socially awkward nature persisted, especially at the thought of questions to be asked. She knew her benefactor had likely given more credits than necessary as it was typically to cover any potential last minute journeys, or extended stays on the vessel.

Those red eyes managed to look back towards the captain of the ship as she offered her response, a very soft and almost whispering tone as she breathed in a steady breath as if to assure herself. "... Thank you again... For granting passage..." she inclined her head in thanks before she then made to answer the question, eyes glancing aside once more. "... A week at least..." she responded, but didn't give much more information beyond what had been requested of her. "... Potentially two..." she added.

She felt that she needed to offer reassurance after spotting the look Agrippina gave her personal droid; "... Your crew will barely notice me...".

"Potentially two weeks? And do we need to cater to your whim of which planet you need to go to?" Agrippina asked "Look at me when I speak to you. Eye contact is important when you look at a Lady such as myself." Agrippina didn't speak forcefully, but firmly. She wasn't angry with this passenger but they need to know how to speak when addressing her. She looked once more at the room they were in shaking her head. Combined with such a shy person, this was not an ideal situation.

"Come with me. Collect your things." Agrippina said "If you're going to be a passenger for two weeks, then you will have to put in work. Your expenses might be paid for, but you will need to contribute to the Fleet as well." The Lady simply stood up and began to walk out of the room, expecting the girl to follow.

Riven was startled with the firm command to look at Agrippina as she spoke, crimson gaze shifting back to meet her gaze. It was something Riven was often told to do by quite a lot of the more authoritative figures she spoke to. "S- Sorry..." muttered the short elf as she looked up the Navigator. "... N- No, the course you're already taking moves by several planets I need to visit..." she explained with a light nod of her head, her eyes managing to stay focused despite her nerves wanting her to look away.

When the Navigator asked her to come along and turned Riven sighed gently in relief, for she could avert her gaze once more. She wasn't particularly keen on the idea of having to 'contribute' to the fleet however, she had hoped she could just hide away and wait in her own corner until they reached their destination. "P- Put in work...?" she commented softly as she hesitantly followed after Agrippina, uncertain on what kind of work she'd be expected to do. She built her own droid from scrap certainly, but anything to do with the management of a ship such as this one was beyond her.

Agrippina would lead Riven across the main route of the arkship. From here Riven could see both the crew and the people who live here. Many of them were working or buying things from the various shops on board. Agrippina simply gestured to them as they walked past in a brisk pace. "Everyone here, has a job. A role to play to keep the ship running. People who do not contribute are a drain on our society. Hence we only take one way travelers. So you will put in work for your extended stay."

Agripipna was firm in her tone. There would be no trying to change her mind about that. She would continue to lead Riven to a guarded elevator, that was decorated in gold and white. The guards step aside to let them both through, and Agrippina felt the elevator rise. "So tell me what are your skill sets? So that way I know where to place you."

Riven's crimson eyes glanced towards the crew of the arkship busying themselves with their assigned tasks, though she also noted that there seemed to be a lot of business happening aboard the ship too. It wasn't just a ship, it was a functioning city, a society with commerce and laws too no doubt. She wondered just how many ships there were floating through space that were in a similar state; mobile settlements soaring across the stars.

Her gaze shifted back towards the Navigator as she followed her, trying to match her brisk pace as she listened. "Mmm... I understand..." came the short elf's quiet and soft voice, nodding her head slightly even if Agrippina couldn't see her. When she was lead towards the elevator she took note of the guards; no doubt this lift led somewhere important. She pondered just where it was she was being taken to, especially since she considered herself such an unimportant guest aboard the vessel.

She stepped into the elevator and stood besides the taller Navigator as her eyes turned to focus on anything within their immediate surroundings, be that any sort of device or panel besides the door, or even cameras.

"So tell me what are your skill sets? So that way I know where to place you."

The question had her gaze shift back towards the captain as she lifted her head to look up at her. That crimson gaze managed to focus on the Navigator's eyes just for a moment before she grew too nervous with the eye contact and glanced further down instead. "... My skills...?" she asked gently, "... I'm a marksman, a sniper. I can... track, trap, and move unnoticed... I can't imagine any of these skills are too useful to you, though..." she responded, shoulders slumping ever so slightly with a soft sigh.
