Adeline took a deep breath and lifted her head. She shook herself, trying to get rid of her thoughts.

Standing, she walked out of her room to find something to do.

Ellen walked into the hub. She walked over to the cabinets near the cooking unit. She checked through them I hope they put coffee in here.

Addie wandered the ship, eventually finding herself in the hub with Ellen.

"Oh! Hello, Captain!" she greeted her.

Ellen's head snapped to the side. "Oh hi! Jus call me Ellen. Or Amar." She said, turning back to the cabinet. "Hey! We have coffee! Hurray! I won't die."

"Oh, okay… Ellen… I'm Adeline, but you can just call me Addie," she said, sticking her hand out with a grin.

Ellen took her hand in a firm handshake, smiling. "Alright, Addie." She closed the cabinet doors. "What's the bunk room like? I've read that they tend to be a bit stuffy on these models."

Addie shrugged.

"It's all right. Honestly, better than I was expecting, though," she chuckled. "There was enough space for my things and then some."

(Sorry I disappeared, I had to take a shower and some other stuff came up)

Marcus walked into the hub. "I heard coffee?" He said, walking over to where the others were.

Owen found his way into the Hub. "Captain." he nodded to Ellen.

"Yep. They had the decency to stock the kitch with coffee." Ellen said. She turned as Owen walked in. "Jus call me Amar. Or Ellen."

Addie smiled at the guys who walked in and waved.

"And I'm Addie! Or Adeline, but I prefer Addie," she declared with a shrug.

"I'm Marcus, though some people call me Mercury." He said, leaning against the counter.

"Why's that?" Ellen asked, checking the lower cabinets.

"My brother started calling me that, and it just kind of stuck. Other people called me "Space Nerd", but I liked his version better." Marcus said, smiling at the memory.

"It's a pretty cool nickname," Addie said with a smile. "Mine's boring, but it's what I've got."

"Cool." Ellen finished searching the cabinets and took a closer look at the cooking ware. "This is a sorry excuse for an oven top."

"Addie's not a boring name," Marcus said reassuringly. "Besides, it kind of lost its shine when I stopped talking to my brother."

"I don't… have a nickname." Owen said. What is it with kids these days? Is this just some new fad? I really need to educate myself on how young people think. And how they stay sane with the constant changes in what's fashionable and what isn't.

Adeline frowned. "It's old-fashioned… I'm sorry about your brother," she said, her voice softening.

"Well what's your full name? We could come up with something for you." Ellen offered, running her finger along the rim of the stove top.

Marcus waved his hand at her. "It's fine, don't worry about it."

"If you say so…" Adeline trailed off. "I'm sure we could find you a nickname! Oh, what's your job?"

"Owen J. Gordon-Whittaker. Brigadier Owen J. Gordon-Whittaker." he said. The "Brigadier" was important, like how a king insisted on your majesty and for very similar reasons.

(Sorry guys, I know I just got back but I have to go to bed)

"You could be O.J.," Marcus suggested, a smile on his face.

"Okay, G.W." Ellen squinted at her finger. O.J. makes me think of orange juice. Ha. "I do not want to know how old this dust is."

"Good heavens, no. I must insist upon upholding my dignity." Owen shuddered at the idea of being called "O.J." or "G.W.", however he probably wouldn't answer to those either way.

(I've got to leave soon, so why don't we wrap up for the day?)

(Yes, captain! ;P Lol.)

"What about Brig?" Addie suggested.

"No. Brigadier if you must, but not 'Brig'." Owen said. Why do I even need a nickname again? he thought.
