Ice Queen Of All She Surveys

Postby Siberia » Tue Jul 12, 2016 7:14 pm

Siberia was standing in a window of the bridge, watching the horizon and listening to the bridge crew going about their business. They would occasionally glance up at her but she didn't pay them any obvious attention and that seemed to comfort them and they would go back to their work.

Below, Sam has been helping out where she can, whether it be shifting up into the bestial form she used in the fight to help lug some gear, or occasionally sprouting a pair of black feathered wings to run a tool to someone on the upper areas.

With a nod to the head of the bridge crew, Siberia walks out of the bridge onto the catwalk around it. She leans on the railing and watches the goings on below for a while.

After completing an errand, Sam nods to the deck crewman she's been working with and takes flight. She alights on the catwalk, folding the wings behind her as she takes a break.

"Pleasant day, it seems."

Siberia nods to her, "So far, so good. The weather will only get worse as we go south. Our weather manipulators are busy elsewhere, so we won't have much choice but to push through."

"I get to wear what I want," she said with a shrug. "Everyone recognizes me and what I can do. Rank insignia would just be excessive."

"I'm familiar with the term, but everyone just contributes as they can. Some in the military, like myself and Shatterstar and the others on the ship. Some work in scientific or service endeavors. Some just live their lives and work normal jobs, though the bug to contribute seems to bite everyone at some point or another. We don't really have a need for superheroes, unless you count us all as superheroes."

"Did you miss this bit?"

She smirks, pulling the wings back into herself and shifting back up into the form she adapted from the wolf shifter she faced in Russia.

"Hmm? I fought someone who was like this when we were rescuing Tereza. I've tweaked it a bit," she says as she holds up a red lock of hair, her most recognizable feature while like this.

"I'm not blaming you. Do you know how much someone's mind lights up when they see something they recognize? We're always trying to fit things into what we already know. We hang a lot of things off of sights, sounds, smells."

"Shapeshifters break that. I get that much."
