❛ Oh relax , would ya' ? We'll get there in time. ❜ He flips a few switches , making a mental note to call a few folks once he’s got the fed out of his ship. It relaxes its shoulders slightly , resting a hand underneath its chin. Well , so much for the extra credits. But , hey. Maybe he can get the guy to put a good word in for him. Get the federation off his back for a while.

There’s a pause as the man starts ── medical. At least he’s not stuck with a damn Starfleet Captain. Or , god forbid , a pilot. He would’ve jumped out of the moving ship if he had to deal with backseat piloting. He notices how the man cuts himself off , and Gideon waves a hand. ❛ Hey , keep on with the medical talk if you wanna. If it keeps ya’ from complainin’ about my piloting , I won’t interrupt ya’. ❜

It takes a moment to think. ❛ Me ? I don’t deal with Federation business very often. Transporting personnel or otherwise. ❜ He shrugs. ❛ I’m more versed in hauling cargo more than I am chauffeuring. Not to say I haven’t done it before , but you’re the first Starfleet Officer that I’ve ever had to deliver. ❜ There’s a pause. ❛ Besides , can’t you just . . transport there or whatever ? Thought that was your transportation. ❜

"I wasn't aware a trip had to be urgent in order to qualify for an on-time drop-off," McCoy grouses, but he does begrudgingly strap in properly again. He's been privy to enough haphazard piloting attempts to know better than to leave these things up to chance. He keeps one wary eye on the stars outside, not quite convinced that the driver won't try and change course again.

"Medical," is the curt response, and he tries to ignore the jab. He'd probably say the same thing about an Engineering conference. Still, once prompted, he can't resist the urge to really get into it - what can he say? This is the most exciting event he's been invited to in three years. "I've been asked to present on a new form of treatment for Rigelian fever. Experimental, but promising. See, it's— oh, never mind." He leans back more fully in the seat, crossing one leg over the other. Somehow he gets the impression they'll be in disagreement regarding just how fascinating the topic is.

"Woulda thought your whole week'd be jam-packed with getting folks there and back. God forbid Fleet Medical actually provide transportation, seeing as they saw fit to pull half of us away from active starship duty."

I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!! continues not only living like this but in fact gets actively worse with time

[intercpt]

Gideon glances from the window back to his passenger , far more relaxed about this whole thing than the other is. His new destination isn’t that far away , but leave it to the old man to be unsatisfied.

❛ Well , gee ! If it was that urgent you coulda’ said so. ❜ Maybe it’s for the best if he doesn’t go pick something illegal up while there’s supposed Starfleet officer in his ship , anyways. He knows that godawful uniform anywhere.

❛ Sit back , at least. If I start goin’ warp speed when you’re like that you’ll fly right through my window. ❜ It turns so it’s facing forward again , flipping a few switches to prepare for just that. Warp speed , that is. ❛ What kinda’ conference is this , anyways ? I can guess by the color of your shirt that it’s probably a boring one. ❜

@intercpt said ; ❛ This is not about me. ❜

McCoy leans so far forward into the front seat of the ship that it's got to be some sort of violation of space traffic laws.

"Not about— listen, buster, I've got a conference to get to, so whatever detour you're taking better un-detour itself right quick. I wouldn't've taken the lift if I knew you were going to run off on half a dozen other pursuits along the way!"

[intercpt]

In his defense , petty theft isn't usually what he goes for. But this is Earth , a planet that doesn't take credits , weirdly enough. In fact , everything here seems , well , boring. With all of the music of the Earth 70's he's heard , he really thought it would be cooler. Maybe a bit more colorful. But he really thought he was being sneaky enough to avoid getting caught. Guess he needs to put a bit more practice into the stealth department.

Gideon stops like a deer in headlights , head slowly tilting up to meet her eye. Any lie or distraction it could've thought of went out the window as soon as he laid eyes on her. Holy shit , she could snap him in half. ❛ Oh , yeah. ❜ He finally spits out , not wholly convinced , himself. ❛ I - ❜ He cuts himself off mid - excuse , scoffing in offense. Before it can argue against her claim with : " I've spent time on prison planets that would make you cry " he takes a moment instead. Saying that it's been convicted of crimes before . . he's already in deep shit as it is. No point in making it worse.

❛ Listen , I'd pay for it if I could. ❜ Well. That depends. ❛ But since it seems like you've got nothing better to do , I'll just put it back. ❜

@intercpt said: ❝ it wasn't me. it was jeff ... my totally real friend who came in here with me. ❞

Ah yes, nothing better than catching some dude trying to enact petty robbery on a late night. Shatter just stood there with arms crossed, and a raised eyebrow, staring the poor man down.

" Oh yeah, sorry. And the friend of yours just happened to disappear into thin air the moment I caught you, right ? "

The hero shifted her weight and shook her head. It's getting close to sundown, she was supposed to drop by Will's tonight, and she really doesn't like being late.

" Look pal, it's late, and frankly, you don't look like you'd survive in a cell overnight, and it's like a 5 dollar item. Unless you've got some sickly Victorian child out there with your ride that will die if you don't get this to them right now, just pay for the damn thing and get out of here. "
