Alley felt in high spirits as she entered the briefing room. Ten days of catching up with a nearly-hyperactive Ky had brightened her considerably, as had the thought of finally re-entering real service; the fact that it was likely a suicide mission didn't really seem pertinent. Outside of the quarter-ton mass of myomer-enabled ceramic and metal that was her Nebula Corps armour, she looked much less intimidating, though the NC insignia on her off-duty fatigues and the slight glow emitted from her eyes served as a warning for those knowledgeable. Feeling sociable, she took a seat in the centre of the assorted chairs and arranged herself with a relaxation contrasting her usual, somewhat starched manner.
When not trawling through what databanks he could access on his current allies, Arcolin explored through the small freighter; mostly to satisfy his curiosity but also in the vain hope that one of the armed murderers on the ship would try to take revenge for whatever he happened to do to them. Sadly (from his perspective), no one dared to try, but he found some of what he hoped to find in the archives. By the time the tenth day came around and word spread as to the briefing, he was somewhat bored; having done all the things he could think of apart from working on Marc, which didn't seem to get old. He swaggered into the room wearing one of his usual blue bodygloves, augmented by a black top hat he had "found" on one of his expeditions. He languidly picked a chair notably on the perimeter, not too far from Marc and his lady friend, and sat in a exaggeratedly relaxed fashion. Noting that the briefing hadn't started yet, he reached into a pouch and began crunching on something small, circular and yellowish.
