Spaceship Parking & Beyond, Sunday Afternoon

Liam had made plans with Kaidan and Verity to go on something of a joyride today, so he'd shown up at the junkyard early to give himself time to do an extra-thorough pre-flight check.

The virtual glass shimmered and became permeable as the shuttle recognized his biometrics, and he sat down in the pilot's seat and brought up the HUD.

ID core, optimal; conventional drive, optimal; weapons, optimal; communications, online; backup controls, online... everything seemed to be in working order. Now he just needed his passengers.

[ooc: for them what's mentioned!]

"Exactly," Liam said with a grin. And while he was pretty sure Verity would be up for a visit to the Mothership and the weird little crew they'd put together, she wouldn't want to stay. "And friends that I actually met outside of work, and a job that... okay, a job that still gives me headaches on a daily basis, but you can't have everything, I guess." It was a lot more low-key than Protector to the North American Companion, at least.

"You love your job," Kaidan teased, "Don't even try. Honestly, Liam, what else would you do with your time?"

"I don't hate it," Liam allowed. "It's frustrating, sometimes, sure. But it is nice to not have so much pressure from all sides. And I don't know, I could... take up painting, or something?" Actually, he was doing a lot of reading about cryptids. Funny, that.

"I'd rather have you in the hot seat than your deputy," Kaidan allowed, "She's.. excitable."

She was a bitch. 'Major Meathead' indeed.

"Rosa?" Liam shrugged. "Abrasive's the word I'd use. But I like her." Liam liked most people, though he understood why Kaidan might feel different.

"That's a good word," Kaidan agreed, "Maybe I just caught her on a bad day."

Kaidan, Rosa didn't really have good days.

"She seemed competent and she wasn't unwilling to get her hands dirty." On this island, those seemed important.

"That's very diplomatic of you," Liam said, biting back a smile. "She was pretty instrumental in helping get you guys out of the woods." If nothing else, Kaidan ought to appreciate that.

"I try not to judge people on one meeting, and she was nice enough to pass on my message after the shadow shit," Kaidan agreed.

"Which I definitely appreciated," Liam said with a nod. "Any preference?" he added, gesturing at the two passenger seats. They were virtually identical, for the record.

Kaidan lifted a shoulder and took the seat on the right, which would leave his left arm free if he needed it. That's where the Omni was.

"Seemed the least I could do. I wanted to make sure everyone I knew was safe, but I wasn't in any condition to see to it personally," he answered.

Liam nodded and was about to say something else, when Verity showed up.
