Cosmic Boy has posed:
Rokk Krinn was on the bridge, doing Mission Monitor Duty, as it seems he was doing all the time. Sitting in the chair, looking at the screen, Rokk puts down his "coffee" just in time to tap his chin. Leaning back in the chair, Rokk takes a moment to yawn, a momentary lack of discipline. Obviously he was tired, but still alert.

Shadow Lass has posed:
Shady slips in, and pauses. Rokk does look tired. Then again, they ALL look tired lately.

"I would ask you if I could bring you a coffee, but I see you have one. Is everything okay?" Walking quietly she closes the distance between them.

Cosmic Boy has posed:
Rokk Krinn starts, not hearing Tasmia slip into the room. Which was usually the case. The "shady" Legionnaire was always so stealthy.

"Oh! Shadow Lass. I didn't hear you! I am sorry, I was deep in thought."

Looking down at his mug, Rokk allows himself a sheepish smile. "Yeah. A tad cold now. If Sun Boy was here, I'd ask him to heat it up, but I'm good, thank you."

With a slight sigh, Rokk nods. "I think so. Everything is fine. Feels like the calm before the storm. We weren't trapped here in the past by accident. We still haven't figured out how we are stuck here. I don't know where we go next."

Shadow Lass has posed:
"I could go back where I came from?" Fat chance! The Shadow Lass finishes the final few feet, and takes a place at the tactical station. She looks at the various reports, as she quietly continues talking. "So, we're stuck, aren't we? It's funny, how can I protect my home from.."

"..here." Now she looks over, and meets his gaze. "You don't think we're here to protect this galaxy? I mean in the vast wildness of space, we were sucked in?" As much as she pretend to have a logical mind, a little part of her still believes that she WAS the Shadow Champion of her whole entire planet because of fate.

Cosmic Boy has posed:
"No! I appreciate the company Shady." Rokk waves her onto the bridge. As she takes her place at Tactical, Rokk scratches the back of his head, and says, "How about you? Would you like some coffee? I think Brainy is brewing a new batch he says is "the best in history."

A pause. "Yeah. We're stuck. We may be here for a reason. Sucked in? Not sure." Hmmm. "Brainy hasn't figured out how to get us back yet, and no matter what we try, it fails. I think someone is trying to stop us from getting home. Or..."

Rokk doesn't say what he was thinking....or home wasn't there anymore.

Shadow Lass has posed:
"I could be convinced." Shady gives a soft smile as she accepts. "We can't leave Brainy out in the asteroid fields, can we? Besides, his is so much better than mine!"

Almost immediately her smile fades away. "Sucked. Transported. A left hand when we should have turn right. It doesn't matter why - we are here. The real question is to keep us from home, or to keep us here to help. Frankly, I know which one I would rather."

Shady would rather be here to help, then keeping her away from her people when they needed her.

Cosmic Boy has posed:
Rokk nods. Strangely enough, it was rare for Rokk and Tasmia to chat. "No. No Brainy stranded in asteroid fields." Rokk actually considered it for a few seconds. "I am glad you are here Tasmia. We need your help."
