[Okay, yes, York was more than a little startled waking up after a forced nap. These never seem to end well, do they?

Sure enough, he's panicked a little at the very obvious lack of Delta until he discovers a very boss-looking parrot nuzzling him and nipping lightly at his hands. Laughing in relief, he tosses on some of the provided clothes, sets the parrot gently on his shoulder, and starts to head out looking for some crackers or something.

This? He could deal with this.]

[encryptedlock]

Gonna join us on a mission to the island, then?

[onemanshort]

I might. Don't seem right, just to stay up here and stare at everythin' from the bridge.

[though she'd only get scared and come back early anyway]

[encryptedlock]

[At least she can say she went. That's better than a lot of people.]

Here's to adventure, then?

[onemanshort]

[laughing] *Dang-ran. To adventure!

*Of course

[inmylight_comdr]

[She has to do a double take, and really it's just York's faint resemblance to Jorge that keeps her from thinking he's some kind of local.]

You look way too chipper about this.

[encryptedlock]

[And sorry to say, he doesn't recognize her at first, so he just gives her a friendly grin.

You're not Kat. Kat's like 6'9".]

What can I say? Always liked pirates.

[inmylight_comdr]

[Kat's giving you a curious, slightly wary look. You and the Lance Corporal, both. Geez.]

Why does that not surprise me. Where is Delta in all this?

[encryptedlock]

[York nods over at the parrot.]

Rraak! All hands on deck!

[And then he pauses. Lance Corporal?

--Shit, she only has one arm.]

Kat?

[inmylight_comdr]

[She looks blankly at the parrot for a moment before shifting her glance to York, and then scoffs.]

Congratulations. You win a gold star. [She's elated to be here, can't you tell?] So, this is one of your famed world changes?

[encryptedlock]

Yeah. Yeah, this would be one.

[He's staring.]

--I'm taller than you.

[inmylight_comdr]

[GLARING back. GDI, if she had two arms she'd be crossing them right now. As it is she just props her left hand on her hip. So, so dry.]

Astounding, isn't it? Too bad you don't have your armor, otherwise you could have taken a picture. [Sore Spartan? No, never.]

[encryptedlock]

[Whoops.]

Sorry, Kat. Just took me by surprise, is all. Hell, at least you're not a parrot.

Polly want a cracker!

[inmylight_comdr]

[Looks at Delta and sighs at that, reaching out to rub a finger against his neck.] Well, at least there's that.

How are you holding up? [Totally asking Delta, she can already see York's fine.]

[encryptedlock]

[Delta makes a couple of burbling happy parrot noises.] Rraak! Anchors away!

He's taking it okay. This happened before, once, but it was only for a day.

[inmylight_comdr]

Good. It helps to be adaptable. [Someone could do wih her own advice.]

From what I've been hearing we can expect this to last a little longer than a day.
