::Jason smiles and is visibly relieved.::
Thank you very much for your opinion. It is excellent advice which I am going to follow. May I ask your name and please forgive the formal manner in which I address you, I still need to learn everyone's name and ranks.
:: Jason once again adverts his eyes. He has a habit of not looking someone directly in the eye when he speaks.....possibly something bad happened to him when he was younger.::

She merely nods when he thanked her and said that he would follow her advice
"My name is Lt Sara McLintock and I am a security officer about the Mercury here"
( side note: Sara has no affililiation into the SL. She's just someone helping you so you can find Myrna. lol )

::Jason nods and smiles::
Thank you Ma'am for all the help. If you will excuse me I will be heading to the mess hall ASAP. If you will not mind terribly I would like to take you to the lounge for a drink once I get instated......
::Jason blushes::
Please don't think I am "hitting on you". I am simply offering a courtesy for all the help you have given me.

She merely raised her left brow when he asked her to have a drink after he reported then then giggled a little when he stated that he hoped she thought that he wasn't hitting on her. She could have sworn he was
She smiled a bit "I appreciate the offer but I think I will pass." She held up her left hand and showed him the ring on her finger "I don't think my husband would appreciate that though"

::Jason holds up his hands, in the "I am backing off gesture" and chuckles::
I understand completely. Once again thank you for all the help and I hope to chat with you again.
::Jason bows slightly and makes his way to the mess hall, totally going in the wrong direction::

She smirked a bit when he held up his hands in a "Ok, I give up" type gesture
She nods when he thanked her again "anything I can do to help" She smiled friendly at him, watched him bow and then turn to go in the wrong direction
She opened her mouth to call out to him that he's going in the wrong direction but then she stopped herself. She thought he would find it eventually, shook her head and resumed her rounds

::Jason manages ti find the mess hall after about 45 minutes. He has the feeling crewmen aboard the Mercury were messing with him a little, giving him bogus directions. Upon entering the mess hall he looks for a female that appears that she could box the ears off most males.......after a few minutes he makes his choice and approaches a woman who he thinks fits the category. He goes to an attention stance.....or doing his best to mimic one. Jason is a sorry sight.......his shirttails are out and his AA stance is pitiful, but anyone can see he is trying his best.
Jason Kapica reporting as ordered Ma'am.

Myrna had gotten a report that a new Security/Police officer had been assigned to her and she was eager to meet him, to size him up and see what he is made of
She was still talking to Cerius when a young male walked up to her and stood at what he thought was attention. She turned her smoky grey eyes on him and appraised him in a security chief type of way. His shirt was halfway tucked in and out, and he generally looked unkept. One plus, however, is that he was clean shaven. He looked to be about 5' 10" 170 pounds. He looked not a day over 18
She frowned and did not look pleased at his appearance. "You can relax, Mr. Kapica. We're not on duty.. yet. Speaking of which, do you always report in or come on duty looking so.. " She paused to think of a word "..poorly"?

Sara sits at a table with Beth by the view port "I must be coming down with something Sis I feel Blah" she says as she eats her breakfast
"Blah you sick to your stomach?" Beth asks as she eats and feeds Kayla
"not sick to my stomach I just don't feel right" she takes a bite "You know kind of like how you feel before you get sick" Sara says
"I'd have the Doc look at you Sis" Beth says as she feeds Kayla
If I'm still feeling like this when they get back from the planet I'll have her check me" Sara sees Beth's look "I'll be fine Sis its probably just a cold coming on" They both enjoy their meals

::Jason looks down at himself then back to the security chief. He goes AE and blushes::
I just got done with my duty shift down in the cargo bay. I didn't have time to shower. I put on a fresh shirt and then immediately went in search of you ma'am. If you would like I can change into something more suitable. Please don't think that I am making excuses..this is an opportunity of a life time for me. Since I was a small boy all I wanted was to hold a position in law enforcement.
::Jason looks at the others who the security chief was talking too.::
Please pardon the interruption, I didn't mean to intrude.

Her expression softened a little as he explained that law enforcement is a chance of a life time for him, ever since he was a small boy "That is commendable to want to be in law enforcement, but not to sounds skepticle or putting you down, you look a little scrawny to be out chasing law breakers and young. Of course, it is the the young eager people that we are that could do the job. We're ging to colonize a new world, for generations to come.
I think it would give a first impression to others if you did clean yourslf up, don't you, Mr. Kapica? First rule, I'm making with all officers on the force is to first look presentable.

::Jason flushes as his appearance is commented on again. He flexes his scrawny biceps and grins::
I am very strong ::Jason chuckles at how ridiculous he looks flexing his small frame:: I have one thing in my favor for the position ma'am, I will do what I am told, when I am told and will go through any lengths to fulfill my obligations. I will never appear disheveled again in your presence ma'am. Please don't evaluate me on this one infraction.....give me a probation period to show you what I have, so to speak.
::Jason looks down and then up again::
To answer your question Ma'am, yes it would have made a better impression if I took the 20 minutes to clean myself up. As it is it took me 45 minutes to locate the mess hall, another couple of minutes put into my appearance would not have hurt.

Give the guy one thing won't need a clock with him just ask him how much time it took him to get from point A to point B add that onto the last known time you have in your head and there's your clock.
He then looked at Myrna.
I'll be by a window. If you see my brother he looks just like me let me know. I got to talk to him about scaring the crap out of people.
He then noded to them both and took up looking out a window leaning against the pain and folding his arms across his chest. He kept within the line of his sight Myrna but didn't let her know that he was watching.

::Jason chuckles, overhearing the comment about him having a built in clock. Since he was a little boy he set schedules for himself, always knowing where and at what time he needed to be somewhere. He could never stomach tardiness, especially when it was him who would be late to an event. Jason waves and nods to the gentleman who was taking his leave.::
It was a pleasure to meet you, ohhhh by the way my name is Jason Kapica..........::Jason spoke to late and doubts the man heard him, he then turns back to the security chief, hoping he will be given a chance.::

She was about to answer Jason when Cerius spoke up. She couldn't help but chuckle about his comment about the clock
She turned back to Cerius when he said I'll be by a window. If you see my brother he looks just like me let me know. I got to talk to him about scaring the crap out of people.
She smiled at him If I should see your brother, I'll let him know that you want to talk to him" She watched him go over to one of the view ports, feeling a little disappointed that he decided to leave and for the interruption, but then she had a job to do as well
She turned back to Jason as he flexed his muscle, if you could call it that. His muscle wasn't all that big. Her arm was bigger relaxed "Strong, that's good then." She said, humoring him "Let's not go all gung ho, so to speak about duties. I don't expect you to pull double or triple shifts. When you are tired, relaxed. I don't expect you to follow every order of mine. If it doesn't make sense or you have a better suggestion, tell me. We're all human. I don't expect perfection
I commend you for wanting to report in such a disheveled state. Now that I know you're here, go clean up, relax, go meet some of the other colonists around. I'm sure the other couples would want to meet you" She didn't make it sound like an order, more like suggestions
