The Station: Test Drive

The Station Info Menu

Welcome to the Station's Test Drive

Here, you will have the chance to try your character's voice out before apping them into the game. Feel free to play out in whatever means you would like - through the Station's communicators which are video and voice or either one alone, through action tags or prose, or whatever else you wish.

Please note that testing a character here does not guarantee that you have a reservation on that character. You may reserve a character HERE. Also note that this may be used as one of your samples for your application, though the mods may ask for more if what is provided is not considered sufficient. Finally, any thing played out on the test drive will not be considered character canon until after your character has woken up on the Station, as each character is given a unique scenario for their character's waking upon acceptance to the game.

[He crouched down to rest elbows on knees, balanced there on his toes. Tilting his head right, he ran a hand over the back of his neck, on the port there, to mentally make himself stop closing down the system. It's going to take a LOT to be okay with strangers on the station. He doesn't trust most of them.]

You're... trying to fix lights? [Well, now he just sounded amused. She was playing Handyman. Cute.]

It's not a bother. I just don't like finding a pair of legs sticking out of my baby and not know why.

[inductionport]

Well, yes.

[ She sounds somewhere between amused and embarrassed by the revelation. ]

They're pretty important for getting around the station in one piece, don't you think? Besides, I wanted to be useful. I hate sitting around on my hands and not doing anything if I think I can help with the problem.

[ She pauses again, then gives an understanding nod. ]

I can understand that. I wouldn't be too happy if someone were to suddenly start burrowing into the Normandy. Sorry--I should have asked first.

[cutie_mechanic]

[He gave her a once over look, then a small nod, settling in near by, still at the ready, in case he needed to, well, who knows, take her out? But also to be of some help.]

It does make it easier. I've gotten used to dealing with the dark, but I suppose it's safer, in the end.

[useful, huh? At least she was polite.] You're a mechanic? On your Normandy, I mean. You keep it running?

[inductionport]

[ She shrugs and leans against the bulkhead behind her as she continues to chat with the man, one hand rubbing self-consciously along her opposite bicep. ]

A mechanic? I guess so. Engineers is more the term I'd use, though. I don't just do mechanical systems, but also computers and programming. I help keep the Normandy running smoothly, when I'm aboard. I have other duties elsewhere, too.

[cutie_mechanic]

[that actually got a smile out of him. Smiles looked more at place on his face then not.]

Then I look forward to having you on board the station. Keeping her going can be a chore. I guess with more people showing up I need to actually look into fixing the real problems instead of working around them.

[inductionport]

[ Tali actually laughs, crossing her arms and half buckling in amusement. ]

Oh, Keelah! I know all about working around problems. Some of the ships in the Flotilla are held together with prayers and engine tape half the time, it seems like.

[cutie_mechanic]

[He gave a small tip of his head as if to indicate everything behind him... and beyond, really.]

I swear this entire bucket is held together with prayers, hope, tape and a lot of cussing. You fix one thing and something eats through another. We've got a space rat infestation on another floor, so... [a shrug. Space Rats are clearly the bane of his life while trying to keep this tub secure.]

[inductionport]

Space rats? Those don't sound very nice.

[ She cocks her head to one side, then adds in a helpful tone: ]

I have a shotgun.
