herb | mass effect oc [n7 destroyer] | landing area
this definitely doesn't look like any mission hackett could possibly send him on. omega has yet to come up on the front against the reapers and, well, it's not as if the alliance had a hold in this part of the universe.
still, he supposes he could arrive in worse places. not much worse, but worse all the same.
but he's looking around the shuttles with some befuddlement, trying to figure out how, exactly, he got here.] How do you just appear on a station...
no subject
[she's not far away, arms folded and one hand held pensively to her chin, frowning at the empty landing pad. Shepard's tense, and is irritated to realize she didn't know what she really expected to find here. for all intents and purposes, she didn't even look like she was paying the slightest bit of attention to anyone else.
yet:]
You too?
no subject
he nods to her question, reaching up to scratch at the back of his neck absently.] Afraid so. I was heading out on a mission with my squad and then- nothing. You?
no subject
[she waves a hand at the landing pad, as if to indicate to a certain shuttle...that isn't there.]
My squad, my crew, my ship... Normal procedure. Through the relay, and then...
[she spreads her hands with a shrug, then pinches the bridge of her nose with a sigh. after a moment, she shakes it off internally and turns for the first time, trying a grin.]
Alliance?
no subject
he manages to grin back at that, though.] Got it in one. Major Herb Pêtre, N7 Special Ops. [he extends a hand to her in introduction] You?
no subject
Major. [an acknowledging nod] I heard about you guys from Hackett; sounds like you're really doing incredible work out there.
[formalities over with, she extends a hand.]
Commander Raquel Shepard, N7.
no subject
for what it's worth, he does salute her once she introduces herself- but then promptly takes her hand and shakes it]
Glad to hear our efforts out there are worth it, ma'am. [he chuckles.] We don't get any details, but we know you're doing amazing things out there for all of us. It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander.
no subject
[ Zoe's not really sure how this happened, and given the look on Herb's face he's just as lost. She's pretty sure they were headed out on a mission, probably back to that fucking reactor for the millionth time, but Omega's a hell of a pit stop. ]
Does this mean we're on leave, or what?
no subject
Looks like it's some forced leave. Can't say I've ever wanted to spend time on Omega, though.
no subject
[ Zoe smiles back, but even she can't hide the fact that it's somewhat forced. She doesn't like the idea that they've been whisked across the galaxy without warning, and though she usually tries to keep up a brave face, this is a little much. ]
--D'ya think everyone else is okay?
no subject
to say the least.
he does take her question seriously though, and he lets out a soft hum]
I'd imagine so. As hopeless as they are at feeding themselves, I think they can survive without us for a little while. At least long enough for us to find a way to contact them.
hey hey mama.
[she's not exactly pleased about appearing on the station when they were supposed to be out on a mission, either - and never mind the fact that randomly appearing on omega never really bodes well for anyone involved. still, if she's going to be here, she might as well make the most of it.
so she leans over, elbows herb in the side, smiling up at him as she has so many times before.] How much you wanna bet everyone back home is wondering where you are and when dinner's going to be?
hey hey papa
herb chuckles at the nudge and manages to shrug his shoulder.] No contest there. Soon Oskar will be heating up the oven for those awful cardboard circles he calls pizzas.
Re: hey hey papa
she can't help but to laugh at what he says, though, because she knows just how true it is - even though she's kind of partial to those cardboard circles. she and her sister have certainly eaten their fair share of them.] That just means he's trying to take care of them while you're gone. You can't fault him for that. [she's teasing, of course.]
no subject
[Herb might catch a little pink-and-black haired girl pacing back and forth, muttering "No" to herself over and over, with her hands in her hair and looking very clearly distraught.]
How did this-- I mean, how did I--... Just... Where am I?!
no subject
Hey! Hey, calm down. [he tries to assure, walking up to her with a small smile. an attempt to be friendly, surely, but he knows it can be distressing] We're on Omega- the space station. Are you ok?
no subject
I'm okay. Well, I'm not hurt, I mean. But still, I... I don't know how I'm on -- Omega, you said? -- this place. I got on a ship to go back home, and now I'm here. [She shakes her head, a little wide-eyed.] I've never even heard of here!
doooooh. thanks notifs.
he nods to her questions, still trying to smile at her even if he can't help but chuckle at how spastic she is at the moment.] Deep breaths. It'll be alright. You've never heard of Omega? It's a pretty popular space station- but it's full of illegal activity, really. I've never been here before myself.
[he tilts his head curiously at her.] Where's 'home' for you?
np, it happens.. /kicks notifs for you!
Uhh... New Hold. The station. In... orbit. Wait, so where are you from?
